'Eyeball cocktail' or 'tear gas eggs' anyone? This restaurant in Honk Kong provides a protest-themed menu to pay tribute to pro-democracy protests in the colony
The"Eye for an Eye" drink refers to an injury suffered by a medic while the"tear gas" eggs aim to bring to light police brutality towards pro-democracy demonstrators.
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. Since June, the former British colony has been rocked by sometimes violent street protests demanding that the government withdraw a controversial bill that would allow extradition to China for trial in courts controlled by the Communist Party.
Hong Kong returned to China in 1997 under a "one country, two systems" formula that ensures freedoms not enjoyed on the mainland, including the right of assembly and an independent judiciary.
