We waited 20 minutes&#8230; No food. I asked a man who worked there and he looked like a manager. He was like, you guys ordered the most elaborate dishes that would take longer time! Well I ordered those dishes at other busy places and never had to wait this long. This place was busy but was not completely packed.<\/p>\n<p>Finally the food came, they all looked good. Although I thought using bamboo leaves instead of lotus leaves for the sticky rice chicken was a little cheap. Once we started eating, the food was just tasteless. It desperately needed seasoning! Do the cooks have ever tasted their own food?<\/p>\n<p>Mom said,<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Should we ask for a plate of soy sauce?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I chuckled. I really couldn&#8217;t think of any comment that was more insulting.<\/p>\n<p>The people sitting at the table next to us had the same problem of long waiting too. This time, the waitress that they were asking was even more rude. She said in Mandarin with a heavy Cantonese accent,<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hey the food is raw, and we need time to cook it!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wow, I was speechless.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 2048px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_1794-0.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_1794-0.jpg\" alt=\"Deep Fried Taro Dumpling with Scallop @ HML\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Deep Fried Taro Dumpling with Scallop @ HML<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 2048px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_1793.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_1793.jpg\" alt=\"HML Seafood Restaurant\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">HML Seafood Restaurant<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 2048px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_1795-0.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_1795-0.jpg\" alt=\"Bean Curd Wrap with Shrimp &amp; Mushroom @ HML\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bean Curd Wrap with Shrimp &amp; Mushroom @ HML<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 2048px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_1796-0.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_1796-0.jpg\" alt=\"Steamed Daikon Cake @ HML\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Steamed Daikon Cake @ HML<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 2048px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_1799-0.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_1799-0.jpg\" alt=\"Steamed Sticky Rice Chicken @ HML\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Steamed Sticky Rice Chicken @ HML<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Map and other reviews:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.urbanspoon.com\/r\/14\/1454921\/restaurant\/Vancouver\/Richmond-Central\/HML-Seafood-Restaurant-Richmond\"><img style=\"border: none; width: 200px; height: 146px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urbanspoon.com\/b\/link\/1454921\/biglink.gif\" alt=\"HML Seafood Restaurant \u660e\u6708\u6a13\u6d77\u9bae\u9152\u5bb6 on Urbanspoon\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The dim sum dishes here were flat, flat, and flat!
