Recently, it has been reported that the Hong Kong Independent Commission against Corruption (ICAC) is going to "treat" everyone to coffee!

Friends who have watched TVB and Hong Kong movies since childhood should be no stranger to this mysterious organization with a high frequency of appearance. When it comes to the Independent Commission against Corruption (ICAC), does such a picture immediately pop up in everyone's mind:

"ICAC investigates the case, so it is not convenient to disclose it."

"ICAC treats you to coffee."

"ICAC, please go back and assist in the investigation."

When it comes to the ICAC, many people will immediately think of coffee. If you want to say that coffee is the "worst" coffee in the world, it must be coffee from ICAC (Independent Commission against Corruption). After all, in Hong Kong, "inviting you to ICAC for coffee" is a word that makes people who feel guilty change or even creepy, because the ICAC invites you to drink coffee, which means that the ICAC asks you to assist in the investigation.

There is no exact source for this statement, but what can be known is that it has something to do with Hong Kong culture. Based on language habits, investigators will politely ask whether suspects or witnesses are invited to the ICAC for questioning or taking statements, and over time, "ICAC Coffee" has also become well-known. For example, ICAC is often seen in many Hong Kong films.

It is precisely for this reason that many mainland tourists have to go to the gate of the Independent Commission against Corruption when they come to Hong Kong, and some netizens even bring their own coffee, which can be said to be a lot of fun.

On November 4, the Hong Kong Independent Commission against Corruption (ICAC) officially entered Xiao Hongshu, and then released a selfie and self-directed short film, "Coffee years," which read, "if Kuang Meiyun asked you to come to the ICAC for coffee, would you say yes?" Instantly blew up fans from all over the country.

Interestingly, the video not only invites singer Kuang Meiyun to play, but also draws lessons from the classic movie "in the mood for Love" to decorate the scene with the retro flavor of the 1970s, and even skillfully incorporates Tony Leung's iconic lines: "if there is one more Caf é, will you come with me?" . At the end of the film, the stationery in the picture also leads to: 1974 Cafe, 303 Java Road.

Wait a moment! 303 Java Road, isn't this the ICAC headquarters building in North Point?

Sure enough, it was not long before the ICAC official announced that a coffee shop would be opened on the ground floor of the headquarters in North Point. The opening ceremony was held on 14 November and officially opened on 15 November. The coffee shop was named after the year of establishment of the ICAC, which is called "1974". It is said that at that time, members of the public can not only enter the coffee shop to enjoy ICAC coffee, but also get a close understanding of the work of the ICAC and the latest developments.

In fact, as early as two months ago, in order to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the ICAC, the headquarters Building launched open days for two consecutive weekends, opening detention centres, triangles, one-way mirror rooms, and other facilities for the public to visit. As soon as the news was released, it attracted a large number of citizens and tourists to apply for registration, and the first batch of people who experienced it at that time also scrambled to post favorable comments on the social platform: answer every question, good nice!

So is ICAC's signature coffee good or not? As the opening day of the coffee shop approached, some Hong Kong citizens also clocked in in advance and made a wave of notices for the ICAC's menu.

There is no common latte or American style in the menu, only eye-catching transparency, sense of mission, courage, fairness, integrity, secrecy and justice. We don't know what coffee tastes like, but what we drink here must be very "ICAC".
