“My favourite thing in Causeway Bay? The sound of the peanut shells crunching under my feet at Inn Side Out back when it was in Sunning Plaza. I had some great times there. I work in the area now, and it’s really convenient for everything. You can easily spend a whole night with your friends here – there are so many places to go. But, you know, I still miss those peanut shells.”
