I had a bad experience yesterday, my friend and I orderd 2 regular Wonton Noodle first, then we worried not enough, so we ordered a Curry Fried Rice Noodle from the Tea Set special menu to share.  We both enjoyed the wonton noodle, and when the Curry Fried Rice Noodle came, we finished 2/3 dish and still have 1/3 left, then we asked to get the bill and want to get a foam box to pack the left over. The waitress came and said if you want to pack this noodle, we need to charge you extra $0.50 for the box, and she said it already write on the tea set menu.  Then, I said it is reasonable to charge $0.50 for the foam box if I take out the whole tea set order, cause some HK style Tea Cafe will do the same thing.  But obviously, I am full and my friend and I order the regular menu first, not only the Tea set special, right?  On the other hand, if we all finish the tea set special, and we both pack the wonton noodle, and you are not going to charge me $0.50 then.  The waitress just keep saying it's write down on the menu and keep asking are you going to pack this away?  We are very angry, my friend said this policy is very wastage of food and not recycle.  Finally, my friend ask her to give us 3 napkin and we use the napkin to pack the food away

You may feel weird.  But we have no choice!  We are all full and we don't want to waste food!  We are not willing to pay that 0.50 for that unreasonable policy too.  If we both order 2 special tea set, you charge me, that's OK la.  Then we put the rice noodle in the container after we get home, just only take 5 min to get home!

Bring the plastic box all the time.

Take Out and "Da Bao" are two different things. I think tat's your argument for ur case.
2nd, I would ask them for a small bag instead of napkins.

Yes, "Take Out" & "Da Bou" is two different thing, if they want to charge for "Da Bou", better also write down on the tea special menu, not only write down take away.  Asking for a plastic bag is another option!  I appreciate my friend can think fast to get 3 napkins to wrap it up, otherwise we just waste the food
