1.Despite Hong Kong people's original favour in tea, with local cafes becoming popular, coffee has also gained popularity. The customers of these cafes are mainly university students or working people. After American coffee shop chains Starbucks and Pacific Coffee landed in Hong Kong, other commercialised coffee shop chains also followed the pace. In spite of this, penhouse coffee shops which cater for the taste of the young group still find their ways to operate in old commercial-residential buildings of Tsimshatsui & Causeway Bay in the year 2002. Owing to the intense competition, to survive, some are endowed with special character, some stress on a strong cultural air, some emit a keen sense of amity, while for others, they serve a special assortment of coffees. It can be said that western restaurants, club and hotel coffee shops are the places where you can enjoy the earliest cups of coffee in Hong Kong. Due to the tranquil, comfortable environment, each cup of coffee would possibly cost $45.
2. After the stock market crash, the economy went downturn, but many people find their new ways in the catering business - private dining. The origin of private dining being affluent people, with their well-settled life, continued pursing new tastes of gourmet cuisines, so there developed the special styles of fine-dining from the private kitchen which stress on tailor-making food to satisfy the taste-buds of targeted patrons. Hong Kong people have brought together private dining from various provinces, and operate in relatively obscure penhouse locations all over the city. For example, Ming Mun Private
Dining, Hei Yin Private Dining, Wood Sik Sang Heung Private Dining etc. etc. Later, besides Sichuan private dining, Chiuchow private dining, Shuntak private dining, there are also French private dining, Italian private dining, Japanese private dining, vegetarian private dining and so on.
