If there are any people who were at the Joy Tsin Lau GTG way back when you should remember me doing just this in retaliation for the unreadable bill.

Hey, be grateful: At dim sum at Ocean Harbour, more than once our waiters have missed a couple items because the bill was illegible in between the blobs of soy sauce and duck grease.
And yes, they are really writing out a character when they make those five marks indicating how many dishes you've had.
I haven't had too many bad experiences (I love food), but in western China I have a) watched a cat get cooked, and b) eaten turtle, snake and whole frogs in the same meal at some decrepit restaurant near the southwestern city of Kunming.
