NEWSAR · AI

The sole restaurant on Hong Kong's southernmost Po Toi Island, Ming Kee Seafood Restaurant, faces potential closure at the end of next month after 50 years in operation. Owner Mr. Leung cited declining business and a lack of successors as primary reasons for considering shutting down. He stated that he is unwilling to continue running the establishment alone and that younger generations are not interested in taking over. The restaurant has historically served hikers and boaters attracted to the island's natural beauty. If a partner cannot be found, the eatery, a long-standing fixture on Po Toi, may cease to exist.
