The post The Sassy Edit: This Month’s Must-Haves In Hong Kong appeared first on Sassy Hong Kong.

Just 15 minutes away from Central lies the off-the-beaten path residential neighbourhood of Whampoa, which is within the Hung Hom district. The area used to be rather cut off from the rest of Hong Kong, but now that it has its own MTR station and ferry from Central, locals have been flocking over in droves to explore. Not far from the Polytechnic University’s dorms, there is an ample supply of food and late-night joints. Here are our top picks for what to eat, drink, see and do while you’re there…

Where To Eat In Hung Hom

Bagel Gogo

Nowhere does fusion food like Hong Kong, but even we were caught off guard by these Asian flavour-inspired bagels. There’s an impressive array of the type of bagel you can select (with super unique options like purple potato cranberry), and even more fillings — from matcha mochi and pork floss to taro and char siu! Overwhelmed? You can also select tried-and-true bagel sandwiches from its huge wall of options.

Bagel Gogo, 35 Sung Chi Street, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong, 6679 2716

紅磡雞蛋仔 Hung Hom Pancake

Having served up traditional Hong Kong street food snacks and desserts for more than 40 years, Hung Hom pancake is a local classic — which is obvious from the line that begins to form as soon as it opens! But don’t be dissuaded, it moves quickly. The egg waffles come in a variety of flavours, like tricolour (plain, chocolate and matcha) and black sesame, and the pancakes come generously stuffed with local fruit (we love the mango and cream!).

兩合海鮮火鍋飯店 (No English name on storefront)

Restaurants above wet markets are always worth checking out, and this is no different in Whampoa. Pretty much everyone that goes to the second floor of the wet market goes to this restaurant, so be prepared for a noisy, chaotic atmosphere! We recommend the deep-fried calamari, deep-fried tofu, clams in black bean sauce and food in a clay pot.

兩合海鮮火鍋飯店, 2/F, Hung Hom Complex, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong, 2364 9807

美味佳 (No English name on storefront)

This place is a go-to for Polytechnic University students. If you come later than 7pm, expect to queue for a good 45 minutes and also to sit outside the store on mahjong tables and plastic chairs. Yes, it really is that busy! The rub that the chefs use on all of the barbecue skewers is what keeps us coming back for more — plus, the fact that you can get three chicken skewers for just $30! Make sure to also try the chicken wings, Chinese broccoli and fried rice rolls with egg and eggplant. Everything is cooked from scratch on the grill, so be prepared to wait.

Sassy Tip: It’s probably best to bring your Cantonese-speaking friend if you can’t speak the language yourself because the menu and ordering sheets are all in Chinese.

美味佳, G/F, 2 Bulkeley Street, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong, 9235 7213

素年 Be With Years

If you’ve been struggling to find good, fully vegetarian food in Hong Kong that isn’t just pasta, this one’s for you. Be With Years is a Western-fusion restaurant with everything from poke and soba bowls to hearty hot meals and bento boxes! While we aren’t typically a fan of vegetarian spots that overuse faux-meat, these dishes really live up to the original — extra points for the konnyaku “salmon” bowl and lion’s mane mushroom “pulled pork” baguette!

素年 Be With Years, Shop 27, G/F, Pebbles World, Whampoa Garden (Site 3), Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong, 9366 3261

K-Bap Korean Cuisine

If you’re in search of an authentic Korean restaurant, K-Bap Korean Cuisine has got you covered! This is a restaurant that’s better suited for larger groups as the dishes are good for sharing. It serves all our favourite Korean comfort foods – with fried chicken, bibimbap, seafood pancake and more on the menu, as well as Korean barbecue. The side dishes are super yummy, with generous portions and lots of variety. If you like cheese, you’re in luck as it even has a separate cheese menu! With melted cheese on a hot plate and an assorted selection on the top, we like the simple but delicious cheesy kimchi fried rice.

Tenno Ramen

When you’re looking for the ultimate comfort food there is no better place to go than Tenno Ramen. It has four main signature types of ramen – white (pork tonkotsu broth), red (spicy pork tonkotsu broth), black (truffle oil broth) and a limited edition special. Similar to other ramen shops, you can customise your ramen’s seasoning, the firmness of the noodle, and more here too.

Tenno Ramen, G/F, 17-27 Tak Man Street, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong, 2627 0766

一豆花 One Bean Curd Pudding Specialist

The classic tofu pudding is an obvious choice here, but if you fancy something sweeter, try the “black white”, which is tofu pudding with black sesame paste, or the “red black”, tofu pudding with red bean soup. If you enjoy it, the durian tofu pudding here is definitely worth a try!

一豆花 One Bean Curd Pudding Specialist, G/F, 99 Dock Street, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong

Wing Lai Yuen

A Michelin-recommended restaurant, Wing Lai Yuen’s show-stopper is its signature Sichuan Dan Dan noodles; we usually opt for the spicy minced pork version. The soup dumplings are also a must-try, they’re seriously just as good as Din Tai Fung’s! It’s one of the most well-known restaurants around the area, and although the restaurant is big, the queues can be quite long during lunch and dinner, so make sure you go early!

Sassy Tip: If you don’t plan on eating the side dishes that are given to you at the beginning, make sure you tell the waitstaff to take them away before you are seated or else you’ll be charged for them, regardless of whether you eat them or not.

Wing Lai Yuen, Shop 102-103&105, Site 8, Wonderful Worlds Of Whampoa, 7 Tak On Street, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong, www.winglaiyuen.com.hk

The Bayside

The Bayside offers a spacious dining experience with both indoor and al fresco dining. Led by Spanish Head Chef Javier Perez and Executive Chef Gary Batra, the kitchen serves up an enticing array of Mediterranean flavours, featuring fresh seafood, tapas, homemade pastas and expertly dry-aged meats — don’t miss out on the juicy Wagyu burger with a generous side of fries! Pair your meal with a selection of wines, craft cocktails, beers or the restaurant’s signature house-infused gins.

The Bayside, One Harbourfront, 18 Tak Fung Street, Whampoa Garden, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong, 2123 2177

Inaniwa Yosuke

This place is so popular that queues will be outside before it’s even open for dinner. Diners usually come here for a drink and share small dishes, but it’s really famous for its handmade Inaniwa-style udon, which is slightly thinner and less chewy than regular udon. This restaurant is a bit pricier than the normal establishments around Whampoa, but it’s still well worth a visit as the service and food are impeccable.

Inaniwa Yosuke, Shop A1, G/F, 27 Mintai Street, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong, 2393 8355

新忠記打冷小菜館 (no English name on storefront)

When you need a quick fix of Chiu Chow cuisine (especially late in the night) – this is the place to go. It’s such a frequented neighbourhood store that it has two restaurants on the same block. During winter, the made-to-order clay pot rice is a must! It also shows the seafood specials of the day near the front of the restaurant — the oyster pancake, goose slices and Chiu Chow-style congee never disappoint.

新忠記打冷小菜館, Shop 17A, G/F, Lung To Court, United Building, 1-7 Wu Kwong Street, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Kong Kong, 2886 0899

Mammy Pancake

Included in the Michelin Street Food Guide in 2016, Mammy Pancake is another local must-have! The Hong Kong egg waffles here are some of the most famous in the city, and they never disappoint — crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside!

Mammy Pancake, Shop 1A15, G/F, Whampoa Estate, 99 Dock Street, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong

Where To Drink In Hung Hom

Kafu

This Japanese izakaya spot is the perfect late-night eatery to enjoy deep-fried delicacies and noodles with an ice-cold pint. And don’t worry about rushing — it’s often filled with friend groups drinking together for hours.

Kafu, Shop G29, G/F, Pebbles World (Site 3), The Whampoa, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong, 9025 0818

百味村 Dockyard — Kerry Hotel

Located within the Kerry Hotel, Dockyard is a spacious food court-style area serving up Southeast Asian flavours and cuisine, complete with a live band area and bar. The reasonable price and countless food offerings make this the perfect hangout.

Dockyard 百味村, Kerry Hotel Hong Kong, 38 Hung Luen Road, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong, www.dockyardhk.com

NOC Coffee Co.

This coffee shop needs no introduction, and the spacious Whampoa branch boasts a waterfront view and pet-friendly outdoor sitting area. While you’re there, be sure to try out the nitrogen-infused, cold-brewed Nitro Coffee (or Nitro Tea if you prefer, which is brewed with a special blend of mango peach green tea); both are exclusive to the Whampoa location. Feeling peckish? The coffee shop also has a number of hearty brunch items on offer, including Scrambled Crab Toast, Cauliflower Steak and Loaded Potato Waffle.

NOC Whampoa, Shop G42, G/F, Site 9, Whampoa Garden, Hung Hom, Hong Kong, 2122 9751

Malty

Think of this as your local neighbourhood bar where you can indulge in a game of beer pong. If you’re around Whampoa and in dire need of a drink, this conveniently located drinking hole is the place to be.

Malty, Shop F2, G/F, 53-73 Man Tai Street, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong, 2886 2227

Komeda’s Coffee

This viral coffee chain hails from 1960’s Japan and is known for its oversized desserts, drinks and soft-serve. The house-special coffee is a little bitter for some tastes, but that doesn’t stop people from lining up in droves to get in — so be prepared to wait around one hour at peak times!

Komeda’s Coffee, Shop 1, AEON STYLE, 10 Shung King St, Whampoa Garden, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong, 2318 0103

Where To Shop In Hung Hom

The Whampoa

Stretching over 1.4 million square feet, The Whampoa is comprised of over 3oo shops and a number of themed “worlds”. One of these includes a large ship — a not-so-subtle nod to the area’s former function as one of the largest and busiest docks in Asia. Most of the area belongs to AEON, a Japanese grocery market which sells a wide range of cooked food and ready-to-eat sushi. There’s also a fantastic Japanese food court here.

The Whampoa, 10 Shung King Street, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong, 2121 8344, www.whampoaworld.com

Hung Hom Square

Known for its small local shops and affordable finds, Hung Hom Square is a go-to destination for everyday essentials, clothing and unique knick-knacks. As one of Hong Kong’s oldest shopping malls, it’s also a must-visit for tourists!

Hum Hom Square, Hunghom Commercial Centre Block A, Ma Tau Wai Road, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong

Nine Seafood Place

Very similar in concept to Wan Chai’s Yamataka Seafood Market, Nine Seafood Place houses a variety of Japanese restaurants, grocery shops and a seafood market. Get ready to be astonished by the massive amount and size of seafood on display. The selection looks amazingly fresh and is reasonably priced as well!

Nine Seafood Place, Shop G1-9 & G17-18, Lily Mansions (Site 9), The Whampoa, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong, 2121 0606, www.nineseafoodplace.com

Kam Fat Mahjong

You’ve probably seen this all over Instagram already, but it’s worth a mention regardless. There are only a handful of handmade mah-jong makers left in Hong Kong and the owner of this shop, Master Mei, has been in the business for 40 years and is now the only female master left. Handmade mah-jong tile sets are more for collecting purposes and less for actual playing. If you look carefully, you’ll be able to see photos of Master Mei in her younger years when she was still an apprentice.

Kam Fat Mahjong, 2 Bulkeley Street, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong

What To Do In Hung Hom

Take A Scenic Stroll

The promenade at Whampoa has amazing views of the harbour and leads all the way over to the Tsim Sha Tsui Star Ferry promenade. Why not take a leisurely three-kilometre walk over to East Tsim Sha Tsui where you can reward yourself with an icy cold beer or cocktail at Wooloomooloo?

Sassy Tip: Start at the Hung Hom Ferry Pier, Kowloon, Hong Kong

See Zaha Hadid’s Jockey Club Innovation Tower

Just a 15-minute walk away from Whampoa is The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, which houses one of Hong Kong’s most magnificent buildings. Named the Jockey Club Innovation Tower, it was designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid and this building was her first permanent work in Hong Kong. The exterior is just as amazing as the interior and is a photographer’s dream. It houses Polytechnic University’s School of Design, so there are special exhibits (by students and/or artists) shown here periodically.

Jockey Club Innovation Tower, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, 11 Yuk Choi Road, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong

Catch A Ferry

In 2011, ferry services from the Hung Hom Ferry Pier to Central and Wan Chai were cancelled; however, the ferry services between Central and Hung Hom resumed operations. There is also a ferry service from the Hung Hom ferry pier to the North Point ferry pier. For just $7.50, you can get back to the Island side in eight minutes (15 minutes to Central for $7) with scenic views of Hong Kong!

Hung Hom Ferry Pier, Kowloon, Hong Kong

Kwun Yam Temple

Built in 1873, this is known as the most auspicious Kwun Yam Temple in Hong Kong. Hundreds of people come over to Whampoa just to pay their respects to the Kwun Yam here. During WW2, the area was bombed heavily; those that sought shelter in the temple came out unharmed and the temple itself was unscathed. As such, this particular Kwun Yam Temple has become the most famous in Hong Kong.

Kwun Yam Temple, 15 Station Lane, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong

Tai Wan Shan Public Swimming Pool

Located on the edge of Whampoa, this public lap pool features an incredible 150-degree view of Kowloon and Hong Kong Island. We can’t think of a better way to cool off in the summer.

Tai Wan Shan Public Swimming Pool, 7 Wan Hoi Street, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong

Watch A Film At Lux Theatre

This is the only theatre in Hong Kong that still uses a manual ticketing system. You can’t buy the tickets online, so you have to buy them in person, choosing your seats on a paper seating plan taped to the counter at the box office. On one side of the foyer, it even has on display the old equipment that the theatre used in the 1960s and 1970s. Talk about nostalgic!

Lux Theatre, 2J Bulkeley Street, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong, www.facebook.com/LuxTheatre

Sephora Cream Lip Stain — Always Red

I got this as a free sample with a Sephora purchase and it’s become my go-to red lippie for its unique formulation which dries like a matte lipstick, yet doesn’t make your lips look like an a**hole! It’s the perfect shade for medium skin with golden undertones. The doe-foot applicator means it’s precise enough to use without lipliner; you just need to clean up the edges before it sets. Does what it says on the tin — stays put after eating, drinking and more!

—Stef, Managing Editor

e.l.f Glow Reviver Lip Oil — Jam Session

I got turned onto this lip oil because of my sister and I’ve been obsessed ever since. It’s fairly subtle in colour if you just put on one coat, but it gets more pigmented the more you add on, so you have complete flexibility in how dramatic it looks. It goes on smooth and feels lovely, and gives you a nice glossy shine without any of the stickiness or drying effect of normal lipgloss. I have a fairly dark skin tone with mostly cool undertones so I tend to veer towards darker colours because bright pinks and orange tones don’t look good on me.

—Veena, Editorial Coordinator

Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Lipstick — Miss America

For a red lip, I always reach for this Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Ultra-Comfort Transfer-Proof Lipstick. It’s great for pale skin and cool undertones as “Miss America” is more of a deep red (less orangey!). I always wear this with minimal skin makeup and a simple eye — just mascara and eyeliner — or else it’s a bit too much all together. I also dab a bit on my cheeks for blush, but only a pea-sized amount because it is very pigmented! The lipstick lasts a really long time — which means you need to make sure to put it on right the first time, otherwise it’s a nightmare to rub off and redo.

—Megan, Digital Marketing Coordinator

Tom Ford Gloss Luxe  — Phantôme

I love this high-shine Tom Ford liquid balm. I typically style it with a more elegant black dress or pants for that chic, neat look. I have a more pale skin tone, so darker red shades suit me better.

—Grace, Creative & Social Lead

Peripera Ink Velvet Lip Tint — Good Brick

I’m more into natural nude lip looks, but if I do need to spice up my makeup with a red lip I use one from Peripera, a Korean brand. The shade complements my tan skin and cool undertones perfectly. It’s velvety smooth, super light and actually very pigmented. I also like a more soft, powdery matte finish so I typically apply three generous dots of product on my lips and blend it out with a finger! It’s tame but still striking, plus, isn’t the packaging the cutest?

Lilybyred Mood Cinema Matte Ending — Brick Buster

I bought this because it was cheap, but it actually ended up being the perfect red lip for me! I have neutral golden undertones with darker lips (and a fair-ish skin tone), and the product doesn’t show up orange at all — even when blotted, which is my preferred style. I also use it as a blush!

—Aida, Designer

Dior Addict Hydrating Shine Lipstick — Dior 8

I have tried a million red lipsticks in search of a “true red” shade (including cult-classics from M.A.C. and Sephora), and never found one that didn’t appear pink on my extremely pale and freckled skin. Then I tried “Dior 8”. It’s marketed as a bright orangey shade, but on me it shows up as the perfect Madonna-esque ruby red. It’s not very long-lasting, but I have no issue reapplying as the formula is so comfortable and hydrating.

Wan Chai — BORN IN ROMA DONNA by Valentino

With its buzzing nightlife, neon lights and youthful energy, Wan Chai is the go-to for a ladies’ night out (especially in those high school days!). BORN IN ROMA DONNA captures the area perfectly with its sweet, feminine notes of jasmine, blackcurrant and vanilla — a playful yet confident scent, just like a night spent bar hopping (and grabbing a late-night bite, of course!).

Tai Hang — SANTAL 33 by Le Labo

Quirky and understated, Tai Hang is where Hong Kong’s artsy crowd retreats for coffee, independent boutiques and vintage charm. SANTAL 33’s woody, leathery and smoky notes — as well as its stripped-back, androgynous packaging — mirrors Tai Hang’s hipster vibe. It’s distinctive yet unassuming — widely popular but never overrated, much like the neighbourhood itself.

Repulse Bay — BEACH WALK by Maison Margiela

Repulse Bay’s laid-back luxury and seaside charm call for a scent that feels like a coastal escape. BEACH WALK is the ideal match, with its fresh notes of bergamot, coconut milk and salty musk. It’s sun-kissed, breezy and effortlessly chic, like a lazy Sunday spent lounging by the bay (and perhaps recovering from a night in Wan Chai!).

Once an industrial district and now a hub of edgy art galleries, creative studios and sleek boutique hotels, Wong Chuk Hang has a mysterious allure.

It’s moody, sophisticated and slightly unexpected, which is exactly how we feel about Wong Chuk Hang.

We’ve all been there — swiping left for hours on end without a decent match in sight, thinking “How the hell did I get here?” Don’t be too hard on yourself. After all, dating in Hong Kong is notoriously difficult — and that’s before adding apps to the mix. Nevertheless, it seems that algorithmic connection is here to stay, because God knows you’re not going to have that 90s-era meet-cute of your dreams. But before you enlist to the warzone that is online dating, here are our honest thoughts on seven of the most popular dating apps in Hong Kong.

Tinder — Nightmarecore

I’ll hold my hands up here and say I’m a hypocrite, because I actually met my long-term partner on Tinder in Hong Kong. But a) that was during the pandemic (things have changed) and b) queer and straight Tinder are two different worlds. From unsolicited dick pics to scammers, creeps and a seemingly endless stream of emotionally unavailable finance bros, straight Hong Kong Tinder can feel like it’s where romance goes to die. Unless you’re looking for a one-night stand with a man who will spend the whole night talking about himself, take our advice and don’t download this app.

Coffee Meets Bagel — The innocent one

This app is actually pretty cute, and if you’re looking for something serious it’s a welcome respite from Tinder. Essentially everyone on here is seeking legitimate connections and relationships, so you don’t have to worry so much about ghosters. The problem with Coffee Meets Bagel is that there aren’t nearly the quantity of users as other apps, which can be difficult if you’re used to swiping past hundreds of faces. Also, because Coffee Meets Bagel is known to be more popular locally, some men join specifically to connect with Asian women, which can be a little yikes (no one wants to be fetishised).

Bumble — You’ll download it at some point

There’s a lot of good things about this app, but that hasn’t stopped it from leaving my single friends screaming into a pillow. First off, practically all of Hong Kong has a Bumble profile, so be prepared to bump into friends, exes, mutuals and colleagues (congrats, you now know that Michael from accounting is ethically nonmonogamous). As for the whole prompt thing, this really does give you an insight into someone’s personality beyond their pictures. The down side? It’s actually easier to get the ick from someone’s self-described insightfulness than from an unflattering selfie.

Feeld — If you’re into it, you’re into it

If you’re looking for a serious, committed, monogamous relationship, this may not be the app for you. But if you’re looking to explore your sexuality openly and intimately, Feeld really does cater to every desire. It’s also a solid resource if you’re already in a relationship and looking for a third (or another couple), and it’s one of the most queer- and trans-friendly dating apps in Hong Kong. Just be careful about who you open up to, because while all the apps have some bots and scammers, this one is rife with both.

Hinge — RIP Hinge Hong Kong

Hinge took “designed to be deleted” a little too far, because you can’t actually use it in Hong Kong. However, it does work if you’ve downloaded it outside the city — meaning the type of person to use it in Hong Kong has likely not been here long (or is only here temporarily). There’s also a kind of arrogant vibe on Hinge, with the not-so-subtle connotation that you’re “too good” for other apps.

Grindr — Stay safe out there

No real introduction required for this one, considering it’s the world’s most popular dating app for the queers and the gays. But while Grindr markets itself as open to trans and nonbinary queer people, users’ lived experiences say otherwise. Over the years, we’ve heard major complaints about pretty much every bigotry in the book — transphobia, racism, body-shaming, you name it (not to mention the horror stories about revenge porn). That said, it is and forever will be the go-to app for queer men.

Hey Mandi — Good concept, depressing execution

In theory, this app is a great idea: you can match and start conversations with other users before seeing what they look like. That’s right, there isn’t any opportunity to judge someone’s looks before swiping, or for profile pictures to get in the way of a solid connection. Sadly, though, this has made it a little too easy for people who are already in relationships to set up a profile without anyone knowing. Yikes.

Final Thoughts

While dating in Hong Kong is difficult no matter what, that doesn’t stop people from entering into new relationships every day — so don’t lose hope. These are honest reviews of the apps and their downsides from our personal experiences, but there’s no harm in setting up a profile and trying it out for yourself. If you’ve been convinced to stay off the apps, though, check out our regularly updated monthly event listings in Hong Kong for a chance to meet someone IRL for a change.

All the classics are made fairly well, but the baked char siu bun – crisp and crackly outside, jammy-sweet porcine goodness inside – is what it’s all a-bao.
