Also on the agenda is a Cha Chaan Teng Talk by Hong Kong food writer Lui Ka Chun, who invites attendees to join him at Tai On Coffee and Tea Shop, a traditional café that was last year saved from closure by a group of young Hongkongers. Lui will share stories of how intertwined such spaces are with the city’s culture, over a steaming cup of milk tea and an egg tart or two.
