I went to Wong Kei's last night with my girlfriend. The service was okay, no rudeness really other than a waiter burping as he walked past! The food, however, was not so great. Girlfriend ordered king prawns with rice and I had duck with dry noodles. The king prawn dish had no flavour and after looking at it I could see that I could have cooked a better version at home in 5 mins myself! It was just plain white rice with some spring onion, white onion thrown on top and a few smallish prawns then some clear-looking MSG sauce. That's it! Nothing tasted very fresh or well cooked and no thought or care was taken in producing it. My dish was similar - just noodles, tiny bits of duck, spring onions and onions fried (slightly burned) together and soaked in dark soy sauce. I could have made it at home myself in 5 mins!
