News of the city (Hong Kong)

Sometimes, you are faced with interesting choices. Should I visit the Turkish café on the ground floor or head up to the naughty second floor?

I settled on the Turkish café. Have you tried Sage tea? In Turkey, we call it Ada Cayi (the C here is pronounced as ch”, a bit like Indonesian). In Turkey, you can enjoy Sage Tea at a cay evi (a tea house), where often a cayci (a tea boy or a tea man) will serve you the tea. Such a man will often have good intelligence about the neighborhood.
