4. The Opposites

If you haven’t had enough to drink this past week already with the Asia’s 50 Best Bars-related festivities, then head to this cocktail bar newly opened by veteran bartenders Antonio Lai and Samuel Kwok.

The Opposites takes the idea of iconic cocktails (such as the pisco sour, Boulevardier and Charlie Chaplin) and presents two alternatives – Kwok’s take on the classic, and Lai’s more conceptual update. Bar snacks are Hong Kong-inspired, with the likes of spicy cod croquettes (an ode to curry fishballs) and “hot wave” seasoned fries.

Head east this weekend to this new restaurant in Sai Wan Ho from Censu Crew, a collective of Asian restaurants that also includes the titular Censu in Hong Kong and Tokyo, as well as Enishi teppanyaki in Central.

Golden Gip is headed by chef Nigel Kim, previously the head chef at Censu Hong Kong, and it’s where he is presenting a fun and contemporary take on Asian cuisine with a Korean twist for the next three months.

Dishes include Korean fried chicken, GG cheeseburger, and crispy aubergine seasoned with sesame seeds and sansho pepper.
