Terrible Baby

Named for the French phrase ‘L’Enfant Terrible,’ referring to a group of daring young creatives inspired by the Dadaist art movement. The venue features a lush outdoor terrace with epic views of Jordan’s iconic buildings, the Kowloon neon lights, and Nathan Road — the oldest major road in the city. 

“Effortlessly cool and irreverent, with live music and vinyl nights, convivial atmosphere and creative bartending without the bells and whistles,” Mok says.

Terrible Baby has a healthy lineup of weekly homegrown Hong Kong DJs, live music sets and concerts that take place in the bar and music room.

Sun Hing Dim Sum

Do you dim sum? Sun Hing Dim Sum is a self-serve eatery, plating up handmade dumplings and buns from 3am until 4pm daily. Yep, you read that right: it opens its doors at 3am.

“Small but powerful, one of the few dim sum places in Hong Kong opening till the wee hours, attracting both bar-hoppers and early birds hankering for one of the city’s best flowing steamed custard buns,” says Mok.

Take your dish of choice from the roving trolley carts and tuck into baskets of char siu bao, dumplings of all varieties, salted egg lava buns or even curry tripe and wash it down with classic loose-leaf tea.
