Our
first
time
back
after
the
renovations.
I
am
possibly
not
moving
with
the
times
as
I
feel
that
Yung
Kee,
before
renovations,
was
a
place
where
one
could
not
go
wrong.
Though
upmarket,
I
had
always
left
with
a
feeling
of
having
had
a
satisfying
experience.
It
was
in
my
opinion
understated
elegance
done
right.
So
when
my
son
was
reminiscing
about
the
goose
this
past
week,
I
booked
a
table
for
Saturday
evening.
The
preserved
eggs
and
ginger
are
now
a
menu
item,
served
in
individual
portions
which
surprisingly
does
not
invite
experimenting
and
had
taken
away
the
feeling
of
starting
a
meal
by
sharing
something
from
a
plate.
Plating.
Yung
Kee
has
for
some
reason
substituted
honest,
no
nonsense
plating
for
extra
large
oddly
shaped
ceramics.
In
order
to
be
different?
French
?
Hip?
Not
working
for
me.
In
the
bbq
goose
dish,
the
beans
are
now
on
the
side
as
opposed
to
being
under
the
goose.
They
ended
up
wasted.
Slathered
with
goose
juice,
they
were
an
important
finisher
for
the
goose
dish
in
the
past..now
just
a
pretty
decoration.
Our
large
table
with
just
the
tea
pot,
the
odd
large
place
mat
,
half
a
goose
platter
and
a
stir
fried
vegetable
dish,
ran
out
of
space.
It
might
be
optical
illusion
but
it
seemed
to
me
they
substituted
generous
portions
served
simply
with
smaller
portions
served
(it
felt)
haphazardly..
Service:
Very
well
trained
folks
as
always,
however
suddenly
a
bit
too
attentive.
In
Hong
Kong
I
have
not
been
used
to
having
my
tea
topped
up
for
me
all
the
time.
It
just
breaks
the
conversation
flow..
The
Bbq
Pork:
Tried
it
for
the
first
time.
Ordered
it
as
a
top
up
after
the
small
goose
portion.
Too
sweet
and
hard.
Unremarkable.
The
steamed
chicken
was
nicely
done.
Overall
the
new
Yung
Kee
is
tentative,
unsure
of
itself,
trying
too
hard
to
justify
and
inexplicably
move
away
from
what
made
it
great
in
the
past.
It
was
the
first
full
service
restaurant
i
visited
in
1990
that
set
such
high
standards
for
Chinese
cuisine
in
my
mind.
So
I
always
took
my
guests
and
friends
there.
Unfortunately,
it's
not
that
place
anymore.
