The effects of the protests have extended beyond the streets and homes of Hong Kong to the kitchens of popular food courts.

In Dragon Mall Food Court, stall owners and their clients are choosing sides. Blue vs yellow, Pro-police vs pro-protester.

And when one stall owner decided to give Hong Kong police officers the occasional free meal or drink, protesters branded her pro-police and threatened her business.

Annie Kwok owns Flight Attendant with Beef and Rice. A small stall inside Dragon Mall Food Court. 

She used to be a flight attendant. Now she serves the people of Hong Kong, beef with rice and chicken wings. 

She says the people of Hong Kong really love their chicken wings.

But when people started dividing stalls between blue and yellow, business dropped a lot.

It dropped 30-50%.

Kwok says people started posting fake comments about her food online and complaining to the health department.

Saying her shop had cockroaches and the workers are impolite to customers.

Other stalls faced the same kind of harassment too. Some were vandalized and others had to close.

But when word spread about what was happening to Kwok’s food stall, donations came in and her supporters bought more food.

A lot of the stalls next to Kwok’s have yellow-ribbons but the shop owners get along.

Her neighbor, Tang Chi Hung says Hong Kong is about respecting each other’s differences.

Protests in Hong Kong have been ongoing for the past six months.
