Pro-democracy protests that have roiled Hong Kong for more than three months are providing culinary inspiration for a restaurant that offers a themed menu with spicy wasabi-spiked “tear gas” eggs and a drink shaped like a bloodied eyeball. The drink, which refers to a gruesome injury suffered by a medic, is on offer along with an “Eye for an Eye” mocktail, featuring a round rubbery longan fruit punctured by strawberry syrup, at the Chinese-ruled city’s Spicy Andong restaurant. Owner Roy Ma said he was spurred to create the menu, which also offers “beating raw pork”, a take-off on accusations of police brutality against protesters, after violent clashes at the end of August.
