Was shocked and disappointed at the total disregard for quality standards. We ordered a “hot barley”. But the staff preparing the drinks unabashedly took a plastic jug of cold pre-prepared barley water from the fridge and poured out half a cup of it. He then proceeded to fill the remaining half with hot water. I watched in disbelief. Sure enough, the cup of “hot barley” was lukewarm, rather than hot. Also Chinese believe that for drinks like barley, to preserve its goodness, if you add cold water to hot barley, you’d need to bring it to boiling point again.
