BakeOut — Restaurant in Hong Kong Island

I visited a shop on a sweltering summer day, and the air conditioning was so effective it felt like summer had vanished. The Japanese-style decor created a serene atmosphere. I ordered a Japanese Deep Fried Chicken Sandwich and was served iced water, a nod to Japanese culture that was refreshing in the heat.
