Las familias de Hong Kong optan por comidas informales en lugar de banquetes para el Día de la Madre

Los restaurantes tradicionales de banquetes en Hong Kong reportaron un menor volumen de negocio por el Día de la Madre en comparación con el año pasado, ya que las familias prefirieron opciones como el almuerzo, el té de la tarde o el hotpot.

Zonas concurridas como Causeway Bay estaban llenas de familias el domingo, mientras los residentes acudían en masa a restaurantes y centros comerciales para celebrar, algunos con flores y tarjetas.

Una ama de casa de 56 años, que solo dio su apellido, Wong, comentó que almorzaba con su hija en un restaurante de dim sum en Leighton Hill Road. Explicó que no quería organizar una cena grande este año porque todo está muy lleno en el Día de la Madre.

Kelvin Cheung, de 29 años y trabajador del sector informático, señaló que su familia ha dejado atrás las celebraciones en restaurantes chinos tradicionales que solían hacer cuando él era más joven. Este año, solo seis de ellos se reunieron para comer hotpot después de ir de compras.
