See local Cantonese restaurant’s signature dishes, decorations and facilities from Frank’s video

Frank the tour guide makes a short video to show everyone local Cantonese restaurant’s signature dishes, decorations and facilities.

This post further describes those things by words.

 

You may have Frank the tour guide’s private car tour to enjoy, see and experience local dining culture.

 

Show off the signature dishes

Mostly at the entrance of local Cantonese restaurant, people can find the kitchen for Chinese Barbecue with big glass.

 

Chefs show off the barbecued pork, chicken, roasted goose etc there to attract customers.

The kitchen can also be the place to sell takeaway to customers.

 

Some restaurants, which call themselves “seafood restaurant” and charge customers a more, have the big seafood aquarium at the conspicuous place.

 

The barbecue kitchen and seafood aquarium have the extra education function for the urban kids.

Apart from textbooks’ photos, mostly Hong Kong children see the real living sea animals and cooked poultry in the restaurants.

 

Great decorations for feast

Local Cantonese restaurants have great decorations for the feast business.

The daytime dim sum business may be just the opportunity for the restaurants to keep a good contact with the customers.

 

Customers return at night to have feast actually can help the restaurants to earn most of their income.

Red color means good luck in Chinese culture.

 

So most restaurants use red carpet.

Some of the restaurants still keep the golden dragon and golden phoenix, which represents the groom and bride respectively, on the stage of the feast hall.

 

In the past, before wedding feast, waiters stuck the surnames of the couple before two Chinese characters, which means marriage”, in between the dragon and phoenix on the stage.

This showed marriage and wedding were the two families’ business.

Now marriage becomes the personal matter. Mostly waiters just stick the groom’s and bride’s English name on the stage.

Mahjong equipment for entertainment and earning money

There is a must-have in local Cantonese restaurants.

That is the Mahjong equipment.

 

Restaurants may offer Mahjong table to customers before the feast for them to have entertainment.

Most restaurants have the “mahjong happy hour” on the day with no feast business!

Gamblers can pay to get a mahjong table to play mahjong at about 3pm, enjoy dinner at about 7pm and continue to play mahjong until 11pm.

So restaurants become something like a gambling hall especially for mahjong.

If customers want to get an electronic mahjong table, which reshuffles the mahjong tiles automatically, they need to pay extra.

Restaurants can also offer Karaoke device for customers to entertain themselves during the feast.
