Hop Hing Noodle Ka, a family-run noodle shop in Hong Kong, closed on April 26, 2020, after almost 50 years of serving delicious beef offal, beef brisket and cuttlefish balls. In the last few days of operation, foodies waited in long queues just to taste the restaurant’s signature dishes one last time.Ma Kar-for, the restaurant’s 57-year-old owner, took over the business from his father in 1990 and developed it into a popular establishment among locals. But Hop Hing’s business has plunged 50-60 per cent because of last year’s civil unrest, followed by this year’s Covid-19 pandemic. Ma made the agonising decision to close after his landlord refused to reduce the rent.
