Is 7-Eleven ruining Lan Kwai Fong?
…This type of environment changes the equation for bar and club owners, and opens up an entirely new source of competition. Unfortunately, as crowds get used to paying a fraction of the cost per drink it’s hard to see them becoming good customers in the future. 7-Eleven sits between the MTR and the start of Lan Kwai Fong 7-11 is also located on Wyndham Street, an area above Lan Kwai Fong that has gained popularity over the past five years Another 7…

The MTR – H.K.’s Subway System
…air-conditioned, well lit, and completely safe. They are likewise graffiti free, although they are occasionally covered in advertisements (some of which are actually innovative and cool). The train’s cars are open, with no doors in between, so you can look down the entire length of the train for as far as you can see. Many of the platforms are enclosed which keeps the tracks clean, and prevents accidents. Hong Kong’s MTR system is less complex tha…

…level was utilized. [photopress:Galleri_Mag_art_display.jpg,full,pp_image] Entering Kee Club, the walls displayed large prints from the magazine. The artists featured ranged from painters to photographers, illustrators, sculptors, and graphic designers. Based on briefly flipping through the first issue, Galleri magazine holds great potential as a venue for new artists to be seen and discovered. The magazine has an international feel to it. It’s ad…

Good Charlotte’s Joel & Benji Madden at Roxie / Volar!
…on Thursday night. This is one of the first special events at Roxie to be open to the public. Researching what type of music Joel Madden plays as a d.j. seems to be pointless. From what I’ve read it depends on the night. He apparently spins everything from Pop to Rock and 80’s music. I’m curious! Joel Madden DJ set Thursday, November 5th, 2009 Roxie Free for members, non-members $200 HKD cover charge includes a glass of Veuve Clicquot G/F, 24-30…

A flagship for champagne? Moet Bar Macau!
…usive events. Perhaps this is where the “golden bubble” that makes up the center of the space comes in. Here between the gold petals you have several tables to sip champagne in a little more private setting. On the night that I visited, Moet was launching a new service that allows customers to customize bottles of champagne with Swarovski crystals. For a small fee you can have the crystals spell out names, dates, or monograms. A second interesting…
Hong Kong’s Hip Hop – Kung Fu connection!
…connection to old-school Kung Fu movies. Kung Fu Wildstyle The exhibition opening on Saturday night had an excellent turnout. The show spilled out onto the street as guests enjoyed the Fall weather and the open space of Po Hing Fong. In addition to M.C. Yan, other big names came to check out the art and lend support including Edison Chen, Chef, and MastaMic. Music was provided by Beijing’s DJ Wordy, a DMC Champ, who spun a good selection of Regga…
Justin Bieber, Jay Park wow Calvin Klein event!
…the type of venues found in Beijing and Shanghai. Hong Kong has few large, open spaces, and the cruise terminal must be a welcome addition for brands looking to create an immersive environment from scratch. The large rectangular room was set up with VIP tables on either side, a stage in front, and a series of huge doorways at the back that spilled out onto a massive outdoor patio. The view from the patio offered an incredible Hong Kong panorama, a…
Sneak inside the new KAWS exhibit!
…the small ‘Chum’ and ‘Tweety’ characters, to a line-up of life-sized ‘KAWS Companions’. KAWS often remixes Pop-culture icons in his paintings and toy figures. In the Passing Through exhibition, you can find the artist’s take on Pinocchio, Tweety, and the Michelin Man, as well as Star Wars and Disney characters. The life-sized figures seem to be one of the artist’s biggest attractions. People generally appreciate them as a form of contemporary scul…
6 reasons why EDM doesn’t suck
…sic wave to greater success. Underground talents have the opportunity to become stars Diplo is perhaps the biggest example of someone who was an underground talent that was able to cross over and reach Pop star status. His song “Lean On” with the group Major Lazer has well over a billion views on YouTube. That’s an awful lot of plays. To put things in perspective, the official video for Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” has less than 250 million pla…
Shanghai Tang, Nomad of Central!
…. Despite a light rain on Tuesday night, there was a large turnout for the opening that comfortably filled the tents with people. [photopress:shanghai_tang_mongolian_yurt_hk.jpg,full,pp_image] After perusing the merchandise, the majority of guests gathered under a large back tent to socialize and admire the spectacle of the gers surrounded by Hong Kong’s high-rise landscape. Several Mongolian performers roamed about, though they didn’t get to perf…
Beijing Club aka ‘the new Hei Hei’ opens!
…lub located practically across the street. The Beijing Club will mainly be competing with Sugar, and possibly a little with Volar. This is the biggest club to open in a long time, so the effects should be felt in the next few months. Recently the newer places to open have all been smaller, more exclusive joints. The Beijing Club is on a much larger scale. The nightspot takes up three floors of M-88, plus it has a big outdoor patio. Tonight from th…

Walking past at around 4 am on Saturday and Sunday morning, I saw a line of trendily dressed youths slumped against the escalator, waiting for the store to open the next day to purchase limited edition Devilclot items!

New Year’s Eve in Shanghai!
…illiards club with a cool crowd has expanded to Shanghai’s famed Xintiandi complex. For those of you unfamiliar with Shanghai, Xintiandi is a dining and entertainment area based around two blocks of old low-rise architecturally significant buildings converted into restaurants, shops and bars. It’s roughly equivalent to Hong Kong’s Lan Kwai Fong. Racks Shanghai is located on the fifth floor of the new shopping center that anchors Xintiandi and shar…
Mysterious new restaurant unveiled!

A large open dining room occupies the third floor Located at 1 Duddell Street, it sits between Queens Road (just opposite the Landmark Mandarin Oriental,) and Ice House Street. The lower floors of the building are home to Shanghai Tang’s new flagship store. The dead-end block is anchored on one side by a grand old stone staircase that…
T-Shirt Show at Kapok
…d after a kind of tree. There’s actually a huge kapok tree growing in the center of the street where his shop is located, so it’s not a bizarre choice! Interesting, unique shops like this are not easy to find in Hong Kong. Because land is so scarce, rents are extremely high throughout the city. Prime shopping areas like Central and Causeway Bay are too pricey for small shops to afford – particularly for street level spaces. Some shops open on high…
Typhoon Usagi shuts down Causeway Bay!
…re taking measures to help minimize potential damage. Forever 21, which is open daily until one am, was completely shut, with all the front windows taped up. Din Tai Fung, the popular restaurant around the block also had their windows taped. The area’s many 7-11 stores, which are typically open 24 hrs, were still doing business, some with sandbags in place. Even Paterson Street, another busy corner of the neighborhood usually teaming with people,…
ROCKIT, H.K.’s outdoor music festival!
…as important as the music itself is just chilling on the grass in a large open space – something that we in Hong Kong nearly never experience. Although there are soccer fields scattered about, there is very little open space – especially with grass. Flat land in the city is just too valuable to set aside. The site of the festival, Victoria Park, located in Causeway Bay, is the only large swath of grass that I can think of. The Rockit festival are…
Eric Haze: Full Circle opens!
…er. For example, particular lettering styles in his work have went on to become ubiquitous. The turnout for the opening, held in the new 7,500 sq.ft. MOCA-China exhibition space, was impressive. Since the last time I visited, the room has been converted into a full-sized gallery (which is rare in land-scarce Hong Kong.) The interior was sparse and not overly made up, leaving it perfect for exhibitions. Locating the gallery within Delay No Mall (wh…
Hidden field above Happy Valley?
…Happy Valley, the track and field have a scenic view. Kids will enjoy the open space as it’s well maintained and fun to play on. (Although a friend indicated that they recently put fertilizer on the grass.) A young law-breaker! The sign indicates that the Green Lane Sitting Out Area isn’t open late. The hours are generally from 7am to 6pm (or 6:45pm May through August.) Green Lane Service Reservoir Sitting-Out Area Green Lane (take Blue Pool Road…
Claude Challe’s sneak appearance at the W!
…by Gwen Stefani! A neighborhood still growing… As the West Kowloon area becomes more and more complete, the W will gain greater significance. With several huge residential complexes and the ICC, Hong Kong’s tallest building yet to be completed, it’s only a matter of time before people come looking for an upscale drinking spot in the neighborhood. Though the new Ritz Carlton will occupy the top floors of the ICC, the W will appeal to a younger, bo…

Stephen Chow’s CJ7 – Aiming for China’s box office?
…g father (played by Chow,) wanting a better life for his son; the kind and compassionate school teacher; the bourgeois teacher further vilified by his grotesque habits (also calculated to draw laughs from the audience,); the rich-kid bully; and the girl that’s too big for her age (in this case comically over-done to get a laugh from even the most unsophisticated audiences.) The humor, sadness and action were created here to appeal to the widest de…
The Jet Boys – Japanese punk legends – Friday!
…ntary that shows a few of their retro on-stage antics. According to recent reviews, they haven’t mellowed out at all. A mainstay of the Tokyo garage Rock scene, The Jet Boys draw inspiration from New York punk of the late 70’s. This promises to be a jump around and get sweaty type of show. I don’t think these guys do slow songs! 😉 Also on the bill are Beijing rockers The Diders. The Jet Boys are actually kicking off a China tour, however the detai…
