The characters that you have are probably ‘Kung Nga Keung’ (supplied by Mr. K above). The romanization is based on the conventional HK government system.
CantoDict would provide ‘gung1 ngaa5 koeng4’ (supplied by pkchan above). The romanization is based on the Jyutping system.
They don’t match because people would prefer any romanization system or any mixture of different systems as they like.
