Tan Wenhao’s “Three Meals a Day” will be closed, and the last 200 boxes of mooncakes will be sold out in one day. Regular customers choked up and said goodbye.
[Yahoo News Report]After the epidemic, customs are “returning to normal”, but a wave of store closures has broken out in various districts. The Mongkok tea restaurant “Three Meals a Day” founded by Tan Wenhao, the defendant in the 47-person primary election case, and Lam Ruihua, the convener of the Hong Kong Small and Medium Enterprises Restaurant Alliance, and others, announced earlier that due to the increase in rent and food prices, it will be closed on the day following the Mid-Autumn Festival (9 Completion on March 30th). The last batch of mooncakes produced by the restaurant were sold out on the first day of sale.
Many citizens picked up the goods over the past weekend. When the store encountered a power outage in the building, dine-in and takeout were suspended, and only mooncakes might be collected. The restaurant bid farewell to the neighbors during the time of family reunions. Some regular customers lamented the pity and hoped that the restaurant might make a comeback. Some customers also pointed out that many restaurants in Hong Kong are facing pressure from rent increases and landlords should consider working with small shops to tide over the difficulties.
Although there was a power outage in the restaurant, many customers still came to receive mooncakes.
Three meals a day was opened by former Legislative Council member Tam Wen-hao. Tam is currently in the midst of the primary election, and there are reports that the owner plans to increase the rent to NT$100,000. The restaurant had held mooncake pre-orders earlier, and announced on September 11 that the last batch of 200 boxes of mooncakes would be on sale, and all were sold out the next day.

Mr. Chan, who lives in the New Territories, is a regular customer of the restaurant and “eats everywhere when he travels.” He originally planned to receive mooncakes and have a meal on this trip, but due to the power outage, he decided not to go. He joked that he would come back in the next week. His favorite is the restaurant’s signature dish, soy sauce chicken, which is “smooth, rich, and soy sauce is fragrant.” He pointed out that the rent increase is a difficulty that restaurants in various districts in Hong Kong are facing. “I think all owners have to go through this together (with small merchants). If the restaurants are gone, they may end up turning into unlucky shops.”

Ms. Yin ordered custard mooncakes and particularly liked the design of the mooncake gift box, which was painted by Tan Wenhao, a pair of twins. She comes there every two or three months. “Their fried eggs and toast are better than ordinary tea restaurants.” Her favorite is the chicken chop with scallion oil and the doll noodles. She also lamented that “there is no such thing as a small shop” and encouraged the restaurant employees and owners to “be yourself and work hard.” Ms. Li ordered three boxes of mooncakes, one of which was reserved for a friend who was regarding to immigrate. She lives on an outlying island, but she visits the restaurant twice a month. Her favorite is the fried noodles with shredded beef fillet and satay. She may visit once more in the next week. “I just hope she has a chance to come back.”

Ms. Au specially came from the New Territories to pick up the mooncakes. “Their service is great and the food is delicious.” In her early years, she took a photo with Vincent Tam in a restaurant. “The pilot is so nice!” She pointed out that the restaurant had been shut down due to power outages in the building many times. “In times like this, rents are being increased, which is a bit unkind, and our home is all the way from Mong Kok.” “When I go to Tsim Sha Tsui and there are so many Ji’s shops, I know it’s hard to do business.” I hope that I can find a new location to reopen. Ms. Lai, who lives in the Western District of Hong Kong Island, once went to buy Poon Choi for three meals a day and participated in group buying activities. “(The building) has power outages every day. It’s crazy!” She choked and said, “It would be great if there was a place to open back…if they Come back, we’ll have dinner together then!”
Due to a power outage in the building where the building is located, only mooncake collection services can be provided for three meals a day. The stall outside the store lends a trailer to “borrow electricity” and connect it to the air cooler to allow customers to receive mooncakes without lights.
