'This is our new home': The pub in Altrincham with the best prawn toast in the city
What Priscilla So and Brian Hung don’t know about beer probably isn’t worth knowing. So Priscilla has exactly the beer in mind to go with the Hong Kong-style french toast they serve at Harcourt, their new pub in Altrincham.
They join others bringing the distinct flavours of Hong Kong to Manchester in recent months, along with the likes of Hong Kong Choi in Salford and the always-sold-out Pop Chop Curry House in Eccles. “People thought they would protest until things got better. But no, things just got worse and worse, from police brutality to the government of Hong Kong cooperating with China, attacking normal citizens. They pulled back the mask, and everything for the past 50 years felt like a lie. A breach of contract.”
“We feel like having done some interviews about the political situation, that the Hong Kong government is quite aware of these kind of things,” she says.
