They live in a fast paced and cramped environment.

But I love their food. Very nice

i try to speake cantonese v police officer but he reply in english in hesitated tone.
in char chang teng.they are used to fast peace esp peak hour. try avoid that time. nothing special in hk as far as i see. food wise, they hav diff taste frm us. we are more heavy but they are more light taste.

speak some malay word,
then
shout at them..

alllaaaawwooooaaaaa......................

Yes.

They memang rude.

Cannot accept dont go. I went, they were rude (only those volume game restaurant la), proper places they were much nicer.

Than don't try to promote HK as a holiday place.

dun forget zero tolerance also.
welcome to HK.

Tats why i nvr gonna go back to HK, the food is really not that nice either, over hyped esp the wan tan mee.... been there once and thats it....

Like you say, they have 0 patience. Can't even ask for directions without getting a told off sometimes. However I've also met nice people who are polite, soft spoken and nice.

If you can at least speak Cantonese, some of them still layan. I have heard unkers in coffee shops badmouthing and laughing at the PRCs in Cantonese right in front of them. Epitome of rudeness, noise and smokers, that's why I don't think I'll be making another trip to HK any time within the next few years.

No doubt there's also good things about the country. The government acts fast in times of disaster. The typhoon that happened so terribly - the street was swept clean within a couple of days and things went back to business.

Japanese on the other hand is more soft spoken. They do things quickly (eg. walk fast) due to the fast pace. They have been educated since young to be tolerant and considerate of others, thus no eating and drinking in the train/ subway and along the street. By not complying, this will result in rubbish in the train/ street and any spillage from the drink or food will cause inconvenience to others (someone may step on it or fall down as a result).

So at the end of it, everything boils down to the constitutions' including family's education. Thus Malaysians' mannerism isn't all that bad compared to HK

HK is in my last list. Probably never think about it.

Once this HKer have to understand what tourist mean.

People go for holiday because have time and called it leisure and relax.

If they no patient to serve the tourist and rushing them, better don't promote the farking place.

KL cantonese better? Look at KL cantonese hawkers.

Pure Cantonese, I LOL.

But I must say, friend nor I have been 'maltreated' by the kopitiam staffs. Probably because I did tons of research before going and usually know what I want to order so it was fast. When you're not sure/ need to think, tell the employee to give you time and they'll gladly go off. Of course the challenge then is to get someone's attention to place order when you're ready.

I've not experienced problems in Chinese hawker places, whether i get a drink or not. As long as I eat or drink there, no one ever said anything. Service are average and it gets complicated when you want to 'customize' your drinks etc or when it's a new guy. Other than that it has been fine.

No doubt some other countries like Taiwan or Thailand is better. As tourist, it's also good service in places like Cambodia, Philippines etc. Even PRCs are nice when you talk to them. I've had better experience in Shanghai (in terms of asking for directions) compared to HK.


Not targeting specific hawker or their ethnicity.
My guess is you've not been to HK. Get there, try their kopitiam service and you'll understand the statement

Me too. I still remember they pour the oyster sauce to the BBQ pork with wantan mee. The taste is awful and it is expensive as hell.

The only food I can accept is the fast food, BBQ duck and the milk tea.

I find HK a lot like Singapore. probably even Singapore plus.

oh and obviously TS went to cheapo places only to eat. in other places their service is way better.

^ face problem kot

hong kong is a fast pace society, so yea, if you laid back type sure cannot keep up.
on another word, they stuff (except property) is way cheaper if compare to malaysia. assume you work there and earn hkd, food there is way cheaper. even the KFC also very cheap. if earn their local salary, everyday KFC also no empty inside wallet. compare in malaysia, your wallet hole is bigger if you every consume KFC

My guess is that since it's common for people to order a drink (most common being at least Chinese tea), the waiters did not know and could thought that they have either missed your order or have not taken your order.

When the shop is crowded, it's common for patrons to be fast and allow turnover for the table. It is no good when inconsiderate diners hog the table even when they have finished eating, as I have seen many such cases. They will sit around and continue to read newspaper or merely do nothing, or refused to finish that last sip of drink in order to hog the table.

Busy coffee shops are for people to eat and leave. This is the same in Japan where some restaurants have as much as only 7-8 seats only while having the need to serve a long queue. Diners are expected to eat and then leave. You can chat and have coffee in Cafes or restaurants with plenty of empty tables.

Yes so my point is that Malaysian restaurants are still somewhat better than the ones in HK in terms of service.

I agree. In fact, their food portion is a lot bigger as well so whatever amount you paid, you feel that it's at least worthy in value.
