CHEAP FOOD

The prices of properties has been shooting up in the world and the badly hurt are the retailers whose businesses are conducted in rental shops. In order to survive they had to resort to slashing their  produce prices in order to stay competitive.  This is so, especially in Hong Kong where rental of shops can shoot sky high and thus cause a lot of small eateries to close shop as they cannot keep up with the demand of high rents.

Many restaurants in Hong Kong are offering great discounts on their food in order to stay afloat and this has enticed a lot of tourists to visit Hong Kong just for the food.  One of the great offer is Foo Lum Restaurant with branches spread out in the colony.

We went to one of their branches in Aberdeen with offer of $1 chicken and discounts.
