悉尼唐人街运营47年的标志性餐厅Emperor's Garden因未支付租金被法律收回。该餐厅位于Hay街,以其著名的奶油泡芙(售价70分)而闻名,日前被贴上"合法重新进入并收回控制权"的通知[1]。业主Stanley Yee和Valentine Yee对此提出异议,尽管Valentine Yee在被问及租金问题时承认"那就是他们的说法"[1]。
餐厅目前陷入多重困境。澳大利亚税务局副专员已申请对Emperor's Garden公司进行清算,相关听证会定于8月7日在联邦法院进行[1]。此外,悉尼市议会已收到该地块(Hay街96-100号)的开发申请,计划在此兴建16层塔楼[1]。Stanley Yee曾于2007年获得澳大利亚勋章表彰[1]。
Emperor's Garden Restaurant, a landmark dining venue in Sydney's Chinatown that had operated for 47 years since its opening in 1979, has been legally recovered and taken into possession, forcing the closure of the establishment known for its cream puffs priced at 70 cents.[1] The restaurant, located on Hay Street, faced the legal action following rental disputes, with owners Stanley Yee and Valentine Yee contesting the circumstances despite Valentine Yee acknowledging the rental payment issue by stating "That's what they say."[1]
The venue's troubles extend beyond the possession dispute.[1] The Deputy Commissioner of Taxation has filed an application to place Emperors Garden Pty Ltd into liquidation, with a hearing scheduled for August 7 at the Federal Court.[1] Additionally, the City of Sydney has received a development application for the 96–100 Hay Street site, proposing a 16-storey tower that would replace the restaurant.[1] Stanley Yee, the restaurant's principal owner, was previously honored with the Australian Medal of the Order of Australia in 2007, underscoring the establishment's cultural significance to the community.[1]
