Always remembered it as the reversed restaurant with the kitchen in front and customers had to walk through it. Sometimes when you walk by, all the hot air coming out from the place was not caused by the kitchen. Since I don't understand Cantonese the staff could be hollering in Klingon for all I care. I did however find out the meaning of one word; "fei chai" which was "big fat dude"
