    Cathay did the staff catering in the early days of the test and treat centre at Asia World Expo site very early on in the pandemic . Pretty darn good for a free staff meal which are usually cafe de coral type rubbish . That was until the bean counters realised this whole staff posting wasn't going to be a short term thing and decided to economise. If it's Cathay likely to be better than Silka grub I would imagine . I'll have to check with my helps I guess where she prefers to quarantine

    Have you seen some of the food photos that current quarantine people are being given to eat?? I bet you they would rather eat CX Catering food than the slop they are being feed.

    Have a look at some current food being FED to QT people lol

    One of the foods below comes with added protein (insect) lol

    Much of that looks better than anything that has come my way. Also got a note yesterday saying “due to food shortage” menu has changed. Its actually got even worse! Delivery drivers are being kept busy.

    Unknown origin swine flu reached HK from China?

    When you don’t get a choice, the excuses don’t have to be believable if they even bother with any.

    The slop does look unappetising, particularly the bonus protein.

    I think PB is a big step up from any hotel in the $500-800/night range with the exception of wifi.

    Public Hospital food is better than that and don't they target $22 per meal?

    500 a night to stay at penny bay? That's daylight robbery. This is HK, the bigger the lie the more you have to swallow it. Plain rice and boiled bok choy! HK best food in the world !

    Our helper went to Ramada in TST, food was shit and they asked ridiculous amount of money to get additional bottle of waters. We just went to the supermarket and bought her all kind of food and condiment. 500 a night to get worse conditions than jail! Hahahahaha

    I'm out of here as soon as I'm finishing my lease. I know where the airport is as I can see it from my balcony!

    I think you may have touched on another point that some people won't appreciate. Unless things have changed PB doesn't accept external food or other deliveries. At least when I was in Dorsett my helper was able to bring in regular supplies of fruit, precooked food (and beer!) . Others were ordering food and drink from all the usual suppliers and in general the Dorsett were delivering items to your room door within minutes of arrival at the hotel
