RESTAURANT REVIEWS

OPEN BAR

Mariners’ Rest

The buzz: Mariners’ Rest is supposedly the oldest pub in Hong Kong—now part of the boutique hotel Hullett House, this drinking hole was once the pub for officers and visiting seamen as early as 1884 when the building served as the Marine Police Headquarters.

Nightlife Loves Grappa’s Audience

Can you believe it? After columns of bitching about the completely unnecessary audience participation that happens at nearly every gig at Grappa’s Cellar I’ve been to last year, the people who went to see Andrew Bird last Wednesday actually behaved!!!! Ooooh. Em. Eff. Gee. Good job, guys! Here are some more exclamation marks for y’all!!!!!!!!!

FILM

Confucius

I understand that it is a daunting task to make archaic mores resonate with a modern Chinese audience, but director Hu Mei, who’s been responsible for most of CCTV’s historical epics over the last decade, utterly confuses us with “Confucius” (sorry, couldn’t resist the pun).

TRAVEL

The Changing Face of Manila

It’s only two hours away from Hong Kong, the weather is hot and the people are warm and welcoming. Epicureans can graze at the Saturday food market and sample delicious organic chocolate, sip locally grown coffee or taste endless artisanal breads, cheeses and cakes.

Film

A treatise on city life, loneliness and misogyny.

First Person

From model student to stripping for music.

Reason Strikes Back!

Street Talk

The significance of lai see culture.

Savage Love

Whipped himself with a belt, even on vacation.
