First off, let Mr. K tell you something about Hong Kong. Hong Kong is a capitalist city which demands high efficiency and maximized profits for business - Franchise sushi bars are no exception. Traditional sushi bars in Japan might be more old-fashioned and 'personal'; the ordering process involves only a menu, the customers and the staff (be it waiter/waitress or sushi chef.) But Hong Kong, as a highly commercialized city, offers something different.So if you have ever visited any sushi bars or restaurants in Hong Kong, you might have seen those sheets or forms (usually provided on each table) on which customers could place their order. What? We need to fill out some freaking forms for food here? Yes, unfortunately. These forms are designed to simplify and shorten the ordering process, as each table usually order - not one or two - dozens of sushis or Japanese small dishes (especially in the case of Izakaya '居酒屋') . And that's capitalism. And
a growing number of eating places are adopting such practice in the past decade in Hong Kong. The menu is often accompanied these order forms so that you would know what you are ordering.Hope this article helps!
