According to the storekeeper Mr. Wan Yuen Hang, the property owner of this store refused to let him continue to rent this store with no reason. Mr. Wan has to find another place in a short time, otherwise he would have to interrupt the business.

Miss Pi Yang Chun, student from HKBU, is an old customer of the store. She said every time she came to this store, there were always her friends who asked her to help bring food back. This time she bought food for three of her friends. “I don’t know where the new address of the store is, but if I find out, I think I’ll still go to buy their food,” said Pi.

There is not seat for customers at the present address, people can only choose to bring food back, or stand on the street to eat like this couple.

The new address is not far from the present one, but a little bit far from the mainroad. Mr. Wan said the new address would have no effect on footfall. He also revealed that the new store will be larger and provide seats and air conditioning.
