Now, going to Tsui Hwa is a lot worse than going to a local restaurant in Beijing. People there are so rude and impatient if you don't speak Cantonese. Places like Kau Kee are even worse.
It's like Hong Kong people have reached this level of hatred towards others like never before.
And planes are always delayed at HKG during the summer time...
They only hate the mainlanders and with the behaviors demonstrated by a good portion of the visitors from the north, the resources of both public and private sector are wearing thin, and many stuff are forced down their throats, etc etc, one cannot really blame the Hong Kong people to stereotype, transfer their cumulated angers towards personified subjects and react this way. In the past the money brought in by mainland visitors was big enough for the Hong Kong people to put up with annoyance. Now the influx of money has slowed A Lot, there is no more reason to put up things "for the money sake." Can't really blame them.
On a side note, what is the attraction of Tsui Hwa? We have never been in this name once over. What makes it different from many Hong Kong style basic restaurants all over Hong Kong?
At least the delays at HKG are almost always weather related. Weather God is governing this. So dont like it, complain to the Weather God. How about the delays at PEK or PVG? when the delays are caused by the military and very often? Serious, what can you do?! Throw an Air Rage like so many mainlanders do?
