How Russian borscht became a Hong Kong staple

I often wonder why it's written with a 't' on the end in English.

Seems like wikipedia has the answer:

> The English word borscht, also spelled borsch, borsht, or bortsch, comes from Yiddish באָרשט‎ (borsht). The latter derives from the word борщ (borshch), which is common to East Slavic languages, such as Ukrainian or Russian.
