HKCEE Writing Task 1

Revised version

It was my friend’s birthday yesterday. I took her to a new restaurant for a meal.It is called "Lucky Choice Seafood Restaurant"

First I ordered some drink and seafood, such as lobster, fish, shrimp, and soft drink. When I looked into the “STAFF ONLY” room, I was shocked because l saw something terrible. The chef was smoking while he was preparing the food. Then, I turned myself to another direction where I was facing a fish tank. There were a lot of dying fish in the tank.

When I looked around to see how the environment was like, I saw a lot of rats and small insects running and crawling on the floor. I also noticed that there was a lot of rubbish everywhere, especially beside the rubbish bin. Rubbish such as plastic bags, leftover food and pieces of paper were scattering around. They could carry plague that could also cause serious disease.

I went into a toilet. The place was very dirty and disgusting. The door of the toiletcould not be properly closed. The wall and the mirror were printed in red. The tissue rolls were wet. There was hair and water on the floor. There was no water flowing from the tap. I could not wash my hand after I use the toilet.

The service was poor. The seafood dishes took nearly an hour to cook, and we got them after we had waited for more than an hour. The quality of the food was poor and it did not taste delicious at all. After the dinner, I felt a stomach ache and I wanted to vomit. So, I called the manager to express my dissatisfaction. The manager said, "If you don't like the food, get out of here."

I will never come to this restaurant again!
