MONTEREY PARK - Hong Kong Style Early Dinner at Hong Kong Cafe

IMPORTANT NOTE: DUE TO TOO MANY LAST-MINUTE RSVP CANCELLATIONS RECENTLY: ANYONE WHO CANCELS WITH LESS THAN 72-HOUR NOTICE, NO SHOWS, OR ARRIVES MORE THAN 10 MINUTES LATE WILL BE PLACED ON A 2-MONTH PROBATION AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ATTEND ANY EVENTS DURING THAT PROBATIONARY PERIOD.

Only a couple of months ago, the first signage was laid out for all to read and much later additional signage was added. These days, if you are opening a restaurant, and can easily notice the Made in China sign from Mainland China.

IMPORTANT EVENT INFO:

• We will meet up in front of the restaurant shortly before 4:45 p.m. Please don't be late. They may not seat us in the restaurant until the entire party is present.

• The meal here is expected to be around $40.00 or more depending on how much food we order, any drinks you may order, tax, and at least 20% gratuity). Please bring at least $60 in cash (small denominations preferred) to pay for your share of the meal. However, if necessary, I can accept payments via Zelle (which, unlike PayPal or Venmo, does not charge a service fee).

• Family-Style Dining: Dining for this event has been designated as Family-Style. The food bill will be split evenly among all attendees. Attendees will be responsible for paying for their beverages. Please note that flexibility is an important part of family-style dining, and if you want to take a chance to attend, you have to be amenable to what the group/AO will order. You don't have to eat everything ordered, but everyone pays equally, whether you eat everything or not. If this definition of family-style dining doesn't make you feel comfortable, this may not be the right type of event for you. In addition, if you have ANY dietary restrictions or ingredients you do not wish to consume, then you may want to skip this event. Ordering dishes modified to fit someone's dietary needs or personal tastes will alter the true flavors of those dishes for the rest of the group.

• PARKING INFO: Free parking in the lot where the restaurant is located.
