Dishes, even standard fare that from past experience from other Chinese establishments that have been been well flavoured, from here are so bland that other than the taste of the previously mentioned foul oil are indistinguishable other than name and basic looks. An example being the humble Pancake Roll, usually a mixture of precooked brown chicken meat, Chinese roast pork, small shrimp, spring onion, finely chopped ginger, Chinese spice and rice wine vinegar mixed with bean sprouts and wrapped in a layer or two of fine Chinese filo style pancakes then deep fried. Such a tasty treat when executed with a modicum of care, from New Hong Kong is bland, heavy with the pervading rancid taste of aging or cheap oil - I have thrown one and three quarters out of the two rolls of the portion in the bin as it really didn't feel right to continue trying to eat it.
Nothing else I have ordered from New Hong Kong has been a significantly better culinary experience, it would be unfair to assume chef's don't have days when they don't feel inspired, but my experience of this establishment is totally uninspired cooking with a really restricted pallet of ingredients in oil that I would question is fit for human consumption.
