Hong Kong people have a kind of "mountain corner" fever, not far away, AP Lei Chau, Cheung Chau and even Po Toi Island can be a sea of people, in order to escape from the city, feel a different atmosphere. The restaurant is located on the street corner at the junction of Happy Valley, Wan Chai and Causeway Bay, facing the park. Had it not been for the five big characters "Horse shooting mosquito beard", visitors might have passed by.

It is proud of the hills and corners. "in many foreign countries, there is a caf é on one street, but it is very unique and can attract people to come specially. Why not in Hong Kong?" The owner said Xin. She said that the business environment of restaurants in Hong Kong has always followed suit, gathering the same restaurants on the same street: "We want to be independent, sell our own concept, and people can come all the way, not by the way."

Subvert the concept of time

It is open from 07:30 to 1 or 2 a.m., focusing on boutique coffee and artisanal beer. These two things are very popular with the people of Hong Kong, but there are still clear barriers, and no restaurant can do both at the same time. They want to subvert people's concept of time to drink and drink coffee: "Why not drink in the morning and have a cup of coffee in the morning?" Artisanal beer is a local wheat beer, while coffee is fried with coffee beans from Africa and Yegashev to make house blend, which makes people want to drink coffee at the same time. All kinds of barbecue, English class halberd, American hot pancakes and German roast pork hands are all on the menu, which will be used as a "side dish" for beer and coffee at any time.

Looking for local flavor

The restaurant wants to sell "local flavor": Hong Kong carpenters are hired to transform cardboards into tables and chairs cabinet walls; there are a large number of rooster dishes in Hong Kong; and the bench is full of slang and sayings: "Mercury is not afraid of fire", "a thousand cups are not drunk", and so on. "shooting mosquitoes from horse racing" is used to describe miracles, which echoes the location and target of the restaurant and has a dual meaning. The restaurant hopes to regain the forgotten feelings of Hong Kong, and in retrospect, Hong Kong used to be a mountain corner on the border, but today it has become a bustling city.
