Serving sweet milk tea and French toast with fermented tofu, Kate Lee's traditional diner has become a sanctuary for Hong Kongers opposed to youth-led democracy
protests sweeping the city.
On a recent Saturday morning, the restaurant was packed with hungry patrons served by volunteers who have flocked to take orders and bus tables after Lee spoke out in support of the city's
police force.
"I think they (Beijing) have already given us many many freedoms in governing us and given us many good policies that have allowed us to prosper," said Lee, who has become somewhat of a celebrity in Hong Kong's pro-police camp and feted by Chinese state media.
