🌊 Customers silenced in restaurant raid

Good morning.

You have Charlotte for the hottest tips on some good good cooking. So I thought, why don’t I add a little chaos to the mix and introduce you to my father’s cooking?

I just made a thread of the food my parents make and show me via text. I cannot bear the burden alone.

FEHD and Hong Kong Police "raid" on Carbone restaurant tonight in LKF. Reports all staff were fined $5k for not checking RATs (though not required at the restaurant), and customers were made to sit in silence for an hour. Asia's World City on the path to normalcy.

A restaurant in the Lan Kwai Fong district called Carbone (under the Black Sheep Restaurants family) was raided by police and the FEHD last night. The restaurant staff were fined HK$5,000 for not conducting RAT checks amongst their customers, which is required of establishments operating under a bar license but NOT required of those under a restaurant license. It is currently unconfirmed whether or not Carbone operates under a restaurant license, which would have made them exempt from the RAT checking rule.
