History
Historically, many local printing presses and old beef-brisket noodle shops were located on Gough Street.[1] Kau Kee Restaurant, is a notable noodle shop that specialises in beef brisket noodles in clear soup (清湯牛腩) located there. In the last several years, a lot of the printing presses moved to other areas and new restaurants and bars began to move into the premises vacated by the printing presses.[1] Now, the street has many international fashion brands and high-end home furnishings.
