At first, my wife and I started eating at “yellow” eateries because we agree with their stand against institutional injustice. In particular, we admire their courage in taking a public stand, and the price they are paying - some of them have been targeted by the police and other pro-establishment types. Conversely, we didn’t want to spend our money on businesses and people who make unfair and unjust pronouncements on the idealistic youths. It can even be said that sometimes we eat there despite (the relatively low quality of) the food in some places. Fortunately, we do find palatable food in every place we go.
Increasingly, however, we are finding that the food in many of these places are really quite good. That the food is particularly good value for the money one has to pay. That the staff are courteous and friendly. That the clientele are polite and agreeable. That many businesses are worthy of the descriptor 良心小店. Now, we are often going because of their colour as well as the food.
We are happy with that.
