Wenhua Coffee Ice House, which stands in Hung Hom for half a century, will close on the 24th of next month. Chen Sheng, who used to be a tea guest and turned owner, sighs that "there is no heart-to-heart trick!" According to the broker, the son of the owner was quoted as saying: "the father passed away and now sells the shop." The bid for the shop is 60 million yuan. If it is successfully sold, it will be about 225000 yuan higher than the purchase price nearly half a century ago, an increase of nearly 267 times.

Chen Wancheng, the owner of Wenhua Coffee Ice House, retired more than 20 years ago. in an interview with this newspaper last year, Chen Wancheng said that the shop had often come to drink tea at the beginning of its opening, and took over the restaurant from its old owner in the 1990s, with a top fee of about NT $100000. He once said, "do as you can, and latch the door if you can't."

The ice hall has been renovated half a century ago, and the relationship between landlords and tenants has been maintained for more than 20 years. It is reported that the monthly rent of the shop is more than NT $60,000, which is 10 to 120000 yuan more than the market rent, which is no more than half of the market rent. Originally, the rent was renewed this year. At that time, he said that if the increase was less or less, and if he accepted it, he had to do it.

However, the shop was put on sale this month with an asking price of 60 million yuan. According to the broker, the son of the owner was quoted as saying: "the father passed himself and now sells the shop." The reporter visited the store on Wednesday (30th) and posted a notice at the cashier counter: "Open until September 24th. Thank you for your support. Good-bye." When it comes to the graduation of the ice room, Boss Chen, who is in his eighties, looks sad and says that he has no intention. I don't have the ability to respond, and I don't want to talk about it.

The facebook group "Hung Hom people Hung Hom incident" posted: "the Mandarin Coffee Ice House decided to close down on September 24, hoping that the owners can retain the original appearance of this kaifong shop with old Hong Kong characteristics as a witness of the times."

Mr. Yu of Lao Jie Fang said that after helping the restaurant for more than 40 years, this kind of restaurant seldom buys in Hong Kong, and he likes its polo buns and cocktail buns most. They are so special, especially when they are freshly baked, there is absolutely no problem with milk tea. As for his graduation next month, he replied: "he is a cultural heritage, but there is nothing he can do about it. The rent is high. The times are like this, and they have to be eliminated!"
