It is BAD!

I like Sheraton's Chinese rstn and their Oyster Bar.  The Cafe is very ordinary.

$2,688.  But make sure you ask which credit card you should use.  I think HK bank cr card should be ok.  Some credit cards, they convert the $2,688 into Pound Stg and then convert it back int ...

If I have to pay full price at Celestial court, I would go to Dynasty instead.  The price is better, the food is much much better.

At any given time at Celestial & many other hotel restaurants, I think at least half the customers are members of some sort, by paying an up front fee they don't have to pay full price.

From a customer's point of view, this is a rather screwed-up pricing method.  After the membership discount, if you would add back the "pro-rata" membership fees to the amout, the net discount becomes much less. We are however, trapped to frequent their restaurants.

A marketing ploy playing on human psychology.  I am trapped x 4!!

I haven't been to Kowloon's Dynasty, only been to the one in Wanchai North once or twice talking business, so really I don't remember what I ate, only have a neutral to negative impression.

So, kindly tell what is good there.  

Or may be, we'd have one of our future wine dinners there ?

In case you don't know, it's difficult to see daylight at the Patio that I go to.

You two seems to be talking about difference places.

The problem with these membership is that you can't get a table there.  The Steakhouse is full tonight, the second time this week.  Same with the Oyster & Wine Bar.  You might be right with ...

Similar experience here. We just have to book 2-3 days in advance.

I tired 1 or 2 times, not bad though.
But still you cannot eat all the food...and sometimes you see HK ppl 'fight' for the food. I hate most!

This is the No. 1 reason I HATE going to buffets.
