Wai (David Chiang) needs to deliver his fish to a restaurant, but he's late because he stopped off at the cemetery. By the time he arrives at his destination the fish are a bit worse for wear and the restaurant owner (played by Bill Tung) doesn't want them anymore. This scene was filmed at a well-known restaurant in Tai Wai that looks to still be operating. The restaurant is called 新強記 and many years ago was famous for its roast goose and had a big neon sign on the roof which read "
新強記燒鵝大王" (basically saying "roast goose king"). You can see the sign in the first image below. That massive bright sign could be seen from the KCR train as it trundled into Tai Wai from Kowloon and at night was like a beacon letting you know the train had exited the tunnel.
I don't remember ever eating here, although I have been inside to use the toilets (I used to pass by every day for a few years when taking my kids to school up the road) and the stench in there was enough to put me off ever wanting to try the food. I'm sure they have since cleaned up ther act (and toilets).
