The broth is the star of the show and is made by simmering chicken carcasses for several hours to create a creamy, rich base packed with collagen. Aside from the original flavour, diners can also opt for truffle, shoyu and matcha versions.

Expect dishes such as aged chicken Niboshi ramen, where diners can customise the ratio of the soup base, and what's billed as the world's first chicken soup pudding, a savoury dessert made with rich chicken broth in place of milk, topped with an aged mirin-based sauce.

Why are Hong Kong eateries selling ‘poor man's meals' bucking closure trend?
Eateries specialising in what were once known as 'poor man's meals' and which typically operated in Hong Kong's lower-income neighbourhoods are now bucking the local trend of closing restaurants, with many chains now expanding across the city. One expansive player is Kuen Fat Kitchen, which recently came under the spotlight for spending HK$180,000 (US$22,900) a month on renting a 372 square metre space on the touristy Humphreys Avenue in Tsim Sha Tsui for what the company has called the city's largest two-dish-rice restaurant. It is set to become Kuen Fat's fifth branch, joining others in Causeway Bay, Yau Ma Tei, Kwun Tong and Jordan. 'This-this rice has become a habit of Hongkongers, like how they frequent cha chaan teng,' said Kitty Chan, a Kuen Fat person-in-charge, referring to Hong Kong-style cafes. 'The dining routine has really changed since the government's Covid policies.' Such chains are known for serving no-frills dishes and are sometimes called 'this-this rice' servings as customers order two to three of their stir-fried Cantonese favourites with a generous serving of rice, all for around HK$30 or more. The format became popular in Hong Kong in 2022 when the government banned restaurant dining after 6pm for more than four months during the Covid-19 pandemic.

3 arrested after Hong Kong car chase uncovers drugs, weapons
Hong Kong police have arrested three men, aged between 19 and 20, after a car chase in Tsim Sha Tsui, with officers discovering drugs and weapons inside the vehicle. The force said the private car driver had refused to cooperate with traffic enforcement and control division officers when stopped at Hillwood Road, adding that he fled towards Nathan Road and crashed into a taxi at Shun Yee Street while driving in the opposite direction. 'After a verbal warning for people inside the vehicle to alight had failed, officers had drawn their guns on guard before subduing the driver and two suspects inside the car,' police said. The car was apprehended on Kimberley Road after being stopped by a police car. Officers found 41 bags of suspected cocaine, weighing around 18 grams, a small amount of suspected cannabis and two telescopic batons inside the private car. The suspected illegal drugs inside the car were worth HK$21,000 (US$2,675). The 20-year-old driver and the two other passengers, aged 19 and 20, were apprehended for allegedly possessing dangerous drugs and weapons, as well as drug trafficking. The driver was also arrested for 'causing bodily harm by furious driving' and violating the conditions of a learner's driving licence.
