Hit it up in its new location on D'Aguilar in Sept when I was back.

 

Place is still just as wack as it was when it was in its old location.

prolly not its at the expo LOL

[heywhatsup]

yeah hoping it doesn't sell out either, have to buy my ticket down the stretch as well. Could see them at future music but would rather see them in concert then at a festival. 

Haha getting home afterward's going to be a bitch, hoping it finishes early-ish could take the MTR. Cab fares will be through the roof

You can take the airport express depending on where you live. Last time i went to an event at expo you got a discounted trip on the airport express if you show the ticket to the concert.

Hello!  I'm looking for a Hong Kong proxy to pick up some stuff.  Contact me if you're willing!

 

EDIT:  Thanks guys!  Someone is helping me.  Appreciate all the offers.

off to HK end nov. made bookings for lung king heen and 8 1/2 otto e mezzo bombana. 3 michelin starred for both hope they won't disappoint.

[WillKhitie]

doesn't 8.5 have 2? regardless, it sounds like the place to eat Italian. Hope shit is good – find that Lei Garden is also up there. 

 

Contemplating catching Phoenix there as well. Hmhm.

[orlylow]

my bad. as for dim sum, is dimdimsum better than tim ho wan? there's a tim ho wan in singapore and nothing is outstanding except their char siew bun. lei garden is pretty good too in singapore so wanna try something that we dont have it here.

will be staying at novotel century in wanchai - any hidden/obscure eateries around the area(or wanchai/central as a whole...)

the APC shop in causeway bay vs the one in central, are they roughly the same? how do prices compare to getting it online?

In terms of Wan Chai, the Press Room Group has quite a bit of restaurants and etc. (property management, concept venues) in the area. Retail in the area is also fun, that Sun Street area with Kapok, Monocle, Visvim, etc.

 

For obscure, Monocle has an interesting video on Chai Wan – couple restaurants, and the obvious (Think Silly, Undercover).

 

Don't you want to stop by the Outlets first before the SRP joints?

[downtilimunderground]

one of the best dim sum places in HKG in my opinion is lin heung kui dim sum in sheung wan: orignal style always freshly-made sim sum served from carts (like its supposed to be) and the atmosphere is great, especially if you get there early in the morning..

Star Crossed Tattoo in TST -  looks like they've changed management so cannot vouch for current work

[tm]

peanut butter wolf?

[WillKhitie]

^ sounds like an awesome concept for a tattoo. 

[heywhatsup]

just booked phoenix, pumped as. 

anything happening in dec around mid dec other then ed banger + pharrell? 

[Fycus]

lkf tonight gonna try and hitup volar

[hurhur]

going to hk next week. What's the weather like? warm enough for shorts?

[Sugar Mountain]

^ It depends. If you're Cantonese, you're almost ready for down jackets right about now. If you're an expat, you're probably still wearing flip flops, shorts and tees and pretending it's still summer. 

 

(personally, I think it's jeans and thin longsleeves weather, getting cooler in the evening).
