The CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON actress was chatting to London publication TIME OUT's reporter CHRISTOPHER HEMBLADE to promote her new film HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS, when she complained about the former British colony.

Ziyi quickly altered her opinion about Hong Kong, and said, "I love Hong Kong. The food is so great."
