According to tradition, many citizens will eat and cook as a family. In Mong Kok, one of the hardest hit areas, many people went shopping and eating after night. Some restaurant diners in the area arrived earlier this year at 6 pm, but said they were not worried. A restaurant official said that the number of reservations for the winter solstice was reduced this year, and customers tended to order less, which doubled the sales volume of the material drop by 40% compared with previous years.
Diners: Eat out every year without worrying about demonstrations
Seen from the Mongkok London Restaurant in the evening, each of the lobby is full of diners "making winter", most of which are small and large.
Mr. Ruan and his family went to the restaurant for dinner and winter tonight. He said that going out to eat almost every year has become a tradition. "The whole family eats and eats together, please." He is not worried about being affected by the social atmosphere or the incident. He pointed out the dishes that have been ordered in the past, including fish-flavored eggplant pots, abalone and winter mushrooms, corn fish maw, etc. The total cost was about 2,000 yuan, and the only difference from previous years was that they went out to eat earlier.

Another diner Mr. Wen also went to the restaurant for the festival with his family. He is a frequent visitor to the restaurant and has been at the same restaurant for decades. When asked if he was affected by social movements this year, would there be any concerns when eating out, Mr. Wen said with a smile that he was not worried because the residence was close to the restaurant. Winter games cost more than the past, about 4,000 yuan.
