Frank the tour guide’s Hong Kong full day private tour and night private tour include the local meals.

Frank is eager to offer clients the easy Hong Kong private tour experience through the delicious local dim sum lunch and dinner at local restaurants.

Frank personally tests the food and toilet of restaurants 

Frank the tour guide did not just rely on online reviews to choose the restaurants for private tour clients.

Frank personally goes to to different local restaurants to test their foods.

Frank first checks the taste and flavor of the must-eat dim sum dishes, shrimp dumpling, pork dumpling, barbecued pork bun etc., to see whether they are delicious enough and local enough.

Frank also tries the crispy and crunchy cuisines, fried noodle, spring rolls, deep-fried meat dumpling etc., which suit Western clients’ taste more.

If the quality of the food of the restaurants is good, they passes the preliminary test of Frank.

To a certain extent, the cuisines can show the cleanliness of the eateries.

To check the most important element of hygiene, Frank needs to check the washroom.

Apart from the tasty cuisines, a good restaurant should have clean toilet.

Frank uses the time for waiting for the dim sum to do a washroom sightseeing to check its sanitation.

A lot of eateries in Hong Kong have very beautiful decoration.

However, the owners just invest very little space, money, time and manpower on the toilets.

Good food is not enough. Sanitation in the restaurant is also important.

 

They just want to have more tables to earn more money to cover the high rental and earn more profits.

So their restrooms are small, slippery and dirty.

If the restaurants’ toilet size is big enough, floor is dry enough and overall environment is clean enough, they can pass Frank’s second eatery quality test.

Frank thoroughly observes the details and surroundings of restaurants

Apart from testing the food quality and sanitation, Frank observes the details of the local restaurants.

The distance between each dining table should be reasonable to make the dining environment for Western travelers comfortable.

Local restaurants' toilets are useful to travelers.

The distance between the dining tables should be reasonable.

 

The local waiters should not be afraid of serving or go overboard to Western customers.

Other local customers should be decent and receptive to foreigners.

Mostly Frank prefers the local restaurants in the middle class shopping malls with a lot of white collar worker customers.

After paying the bill for the dim sum, Frank’s task has not ended.

Frank needs to observe the surroundings of the restaurants.

As Frank brings clients to local eateries during the private car tours, Frank needs to find the easy drop off and pick up point for clients.

Good restaurant should have easy drop off and pick up point.

If the logistics is carefully pre-planned, clients feel VIP walking into the restaurants.

This can also help the disabled clients to get in and get out the restaurants easily.

Frank the tour guide does his best to choose the most accessible sightseeing points, activities and restaurants for disabled clients during private car tour.
