The 4th edition of the Rubberman's guide to fine dining in Hong Kong and Macau came out a few days ago. Having been out of Hong Kong for a few months, the exact date had slipped my mind. But on Thursday morning I suddenly noticed a lot of traffic on Facebook and Twitter, and realized that it must have been the big day.
My friends and I have been collectively uttering "WTF" for three years in a row, and this year it was no different. All of our complaints - including those I had highlighted in last year's post as well as Quest For Stars - remain and in fact has gotten worse.
This year, I'm not going to publicly grumble about the Rubberman's choices. I've done it enough, and now that I've moved out of Hong Kong I no longer feel qualified to give an opinion. I'm less and less likely to eat at any of the places listed in the new guide, and as I've said to some of my friends - you can't really give an opinion or trash a place until you've actually tried the food.
So I'm zipping up. That is, until the next trip when I pay a visit to that certain "Indian beef curry" joint and see for myself what they put in the food to make those anonymous reviewers go gaga about the place...
