The well-known Hot-Star Fried Chicken cutlet shop in Ximending suddenly closed down without notice, disappointing many tourists. The closure was due to continuous complaints about fumes, inability to find staff, and pressure from rent, leading to a decision to transform the shop into a souvenir store. The blue signboard is no longer there, replaced by Taiwanese souvenirs, changing the bustling atmosphere. The manager mentioned struggles with pressure from rent, staff shortages, and continuous complaints, leading to the closure. Nearby businesses noted the impact on the dining environment and the decline in sales, showing signs of possible shift towards sustainable operations.
