The Eaton hotel in Yau Ma Tei has a food poisoning count going the wrong way. Seven more people got added to the list this weekend, bringing the total to 14. These are people who just wanted dinner and ended up dealing with the Centre for Health Protection instead.

Here's the thing about hotel restaurants in this city: they're supposed to be the safe choice. White tablecloth, a brand name, the kind of place your auntie picks for a birthday dinner because it feels more careful than the cha chaan teng downstairs. Fourteen people finding out otherwise is going to make a lot of us side-eye the buffet next time we're invited to one. Nobody's named the dish yet, and until they do, order the noodles somewhere else this week.
