Branding can be a double edge sword...

Mr. Robotic had high expectations for Ling Zhi vegetarian restaurant as it is under the Tung Lok group which stands for a prestige brand in the food and beverage industry. On top of that, Mr. Robotic had been to Noble House, another restaurant under the Tung Lok group, of which he was served a rather delicious buffet spread and was hoping to visit again someday. So were Mr. Robotic's expectations met? Not really...

Perhaps Mr. Robotic didn't choose the best items which Ling Zhi got to offer or the group should have went for the Ling Zhi buffet or the waitress didn't get the orders right (Mr. Robotic had wanted something else on the menu) or...

Oh well, Mr. Robotic may give it another shot someday...

Vegetables with "Abalone" like mushrooms. Typical but could do no wrong...

Vegetables with Dai Gui. You are not seeing double, its the same vegetables! Please ask Ms. 大眼妹 the reason for the same vegetables. Haha...

Vegetarian Satay. The whole resemblance to your conventional satay is that it is served Satay again?

Little basket with mushrooms. Mr. Robotic's favorite of the lot. Ms. Mickey said the basket was made using potatoes. Mr. Robotic can't tell the difference but it was visually pleasing and delectable.
Fried Tofu with mushrooms. Average...
