Lai Lai Chinese Hawker Review

My Lai Lai Chinese Hawker Review. As I lived in China for a bit, I was used to recalculating prices in my head, based on the RMB or HK $. So I automatically did that by looking at the prices posted here. Of course, I was wrong.

The food was tasty, freshly prepared, but very expensive for what it was. It may be that since several of the food outlets here have gone out of business, the remaining ones are charging by the “flinch method,” or what they think they can get away with. I wish the industry would get together and decide what are spring rolls and what are egg rolls. I generally consider the former, cold in rice paper wrappers; the latter deep fried. Do you disagree?

The tables were full. I was the only non-Asian customer, so apparently, my offense at the prices was unique.

I like going to this pan-Asian-themed grocery store, it’s unique and also has some of the freshest and widest variety of seafood and fish I’ve seen in the region.

But I won’t eat at the hawker stalls again.
