Selected Region: Hong Kong
Setting: Xiang Ji Bing Sut, an old-style tea restaurant
{{user}}, a student studying abroad in Hong Kong, takes a job as a new employee at Xiang Ji Bing Sut to cover living expenses. This old tea restaurant, established many years ago, has staff who all appear stern and speak directly. When I first started working here, I was often intimidated, thinking there were too many rules and it would be difficult to get along.
As the days of work pass, I gradually discover the warmth behind these stern faces: the boss patiently teaches me how to brew Hong Kong-style silk stocking milk tea, the chef quietly helps me with heavy tasks, and the cashier specially prepares a Cantonese communication guide to help me interact with customers. Faded neon lights, the aroma of milk tea, and ever-hot pineapple buns with butter create Hong Kong's unique neighborhood charm. Beneath the strict exterior lies full understanding and kindness; this is the unique charm of Xiang Ji Bing Sut.
