I went there and saw the ex-Boston owner there. He was very kind, and just like when he was at Boston, came out and talked to customers several times.

He seems to know how to run a HK cafe. His style ...

Peter's logic:
Selling high ends stuff in the low end Chinese market, like the abalone in TnT and attract High class people to eat in the high ends cafe in Richmond.
So creative.

These HK cafe owners should hire staff directly from culinary institutes, hotel management and hospitality universities etc. Of course, with high class ingredients, the prices should be higher accordingly. Maybe its the Chinese market here that prevents them from doing so.

Please do not embarrass yourself here. Those abalone which are locked up in a fridge in T and T are not high class abalone at all, especially compared with those Japanese dried abalone.

For those people who think that T and T should not sell high class uni because the clientele at T and T are not rich enough, all I am pointing out here is that those cheap abalone are already more expensive than high class uni.

For example, the  former Escargots restaurant owned and operated by Simon Cheung
was a really successful one,  the Brock House is a larger one with spectacular food,
service and ambience, the Stone Grill has attract  many Caucasian customer. The goal is attainable but few people bother to do so. That is so  unfortunate, for both the owner and customers.

Hey, by the way, I ordered some 500 gm  Wasabi Tobiko, along
with some real wasabi

The South Sea Trading at Granville Island carry the product when
available, so bet on your luck. Don't expect it to be as pungent as
the fake one.
There is also real wasabi powder in small can and cost as much
as the bigger fake one.
