Looking back at 2021, I would, if I was digitally savvy enough, summarise the year with a meme using an old Bruce Willis film. Imagine his character John McClane copied and pasted onto a fancy restaurant photo with the caption, “Dine Hard: With A Vengeance”.It was the year dining out made a comeback. Figures and statistics aside, anecdotally I know this much is true: Hongkongers went out to eat like never before.
