A humble species of eatery has become increasingly popular in Hong Kong, especially among residents who savour frills-free food to fill their stomachs. The restaurants serving low-cost “two-dish-rice” dishes, once found mostly in poorer neighbourhoods, are gaining acceptance across all social classes.
