overpriced and overhyped

After the article on them fetching up to $3m for their recipe for roast meats, I decided to make a trip down to Kay Lee to try and see the hype. Well, I can only say bad timing.

After the article on them fetching up to $3m for their recipe for roast meats, I decided to make a trip down to Kay Lee to try and see the hype. Well, I can only say bad timing. I should have expected the crowd, but it is really way out of my expectations. I reached there at 1pm and I only got my plate of char siew at 2:15pm because the roast duck has already sold out by then. The char siew is the very sinful kind since it is burnt and fatty. I didn't quite like it to be honest because I thought it was far too fatty and burnt and by the time I cut out all the carcinogic parts and some of the very fatty parts, more than half of the meat is gone. The table next to us was lucky to get the duck and I overheard them saying it is not worth it since they paid $20something for half a roast duck. That is way overpriced. In fact, our char siew rice is $5. I really don't see the hype nor feel the price is justified, which is just as well, since the waiting time is too long and I am better off eating other cheaper and less cancerous stuff.
