The Banyan Tree symbolizes the couple's commitment to each other, but they might have to shut it down in the face of rising rents and the fact it hasn't been profitable in five years. The experts have a huge challenge on their hands; the restaurant lacks seating and seems to specialize in clutter, not tourist-friendly food that will help the restaurant thrive. To help, the experts immerse themselves in the local culture by going on street food tours, observing baking techniques from an old-school Cantonese bakery, practicing the ancient art of Feng Shui, making local shrimp paste, and more. Will it be enough to help revitalize The Tai O Banyan Tree and make this café a Hong Kong hotspot? See less
