DRUNK FOOD
On your left as you make your way down short Wo On Lane from D'Aguilar St,
11.30am-6am; Central, exit D2)
is a brightly lit stall selling Hong Kong-style snacks, such
as curry fish balls and egg waffles, that are a cut above convenience store grub. Like
the convenience stores in the neighbourhood, it's earned the reputation of being a
'cougar hot spot' because of its - presumably - young, hungry and male following.
Lan Kwai Fong & Soho
COCKTAIL BAR
STOCKTON
6pm-late Mon-Sat; Central, exit D2)
Stockton evokes the ambience of a private club in Victorian London with Chesterfield sofas,
dark-wood panelling and the odd candelabra. These are cleverly arranged to form intimate
corners that are best for sipping its rum- and whisky-based cocktails with a date. Make a re-
servation if you're coming after 9pm on a weekend.
From the big iron gate diagonally across the road from the Fringe Club, walk three steps
west and turn left into an alley. Go to the back and up the stairs to Stockton.
BAR
ANGEL'S SHARE WHISKY BAR
Lan Kwai Fong; 3pm-2am Mon-Thu, to 3am Fri & Sat; Central, exit D1)
One of Hong Kong's best whisky bars, this clubby place has over 100 whiskies from the
world over - predominantly Irish, but also French, Japanese and English. One of these, a
23-year-old Macallan, comes straight out of a large 180L oak barrel placed in the centre of
the room. If you're hungry, there's a selection of whisky-inspired dishes.
