Hongkongers in Exile Open Pro-Protest Restaurant "Aeglis" Open in Taiwan
During the ongoing pro-democracy movement, a number of Hong Kong protesters are in exile in Taiwan. Initiated by lawyer Wong Kwok-tung, Hongkongers living in exile in Taiwan opened a restaurant "Aeglis". The shop is located in the alley of Daan District, Taipei.
Many people visited the restaurant on its first day of business. Those with a reservation still had to queue up for almost an hour. The manager, Chou, was busy greeting and thanking the guests for their support.
The restaurant was originally scheduled to open on a later date, but after the news got spread, many inquiries poured in from Taiwan and Hong Kong and so the restaurant decided to advance its opening.
The protest slogan "Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of our Times" is sculpted on the walls of the restaurant. Inside, the screen displays the music video of protest anthem "May Glory Be to Hong Kong". Customers sang along to cheer for their fellow protesters who fight and bleed in Hong Kong.
The phenomenal popularity of the restaurant is a rare sight in the service industry during the coronavirus crisis. There were many guests coming to the door one after another. Some people did not have a meal, but they did not forget to write some cheering cards and hang them on the "Lennon Wall" in the restaurant.
Someone wrote, "It ’s an honor to be the first group of guests, may Aeglis be without trouble." Protest slogans such as "Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of our Times," "Five Demands, Not one less" were found on the ordering receipts.
According to Apple Daily reporters from Taiwan, the food is also good. At 3 pm on the day of visit, several menu items had already been sold out.

HK Police Break Their Promise; Curry Shop Owner and Employees Trapped in Lockdown Zone
Salaam Namaste Curry House is located in Canton Road in Yau Ma Tei, falling within the lockdown area marked by the Hong Kong authorities on Feb 4, 2021.
Just five minutes before the "ambush-style" lockdown took effect, a police inspector told the owner Devi that he and his employees could still leave.
However, just after they hurried to have their clothes changed and the restaurant closed within two to three minutes, a group of police cordoned the area and forbade them from leaving.
Trapped in the lockdown area and unable to go home, Devi felt very disappointed for that the police had broken their promised.
