1. The Flying Pan (9 Old Bailey St., Central, 2410-6333; also 3/F, 81-85 Lockhart Rd,, Wan Chai, 2528-9997) “Great place to go after a gig because it’s open 24 hours, and you can get American breakfast dishes like corn-beef hash, waffles, pancakes, etc.”
2. Pizza Bar (53-55 Lockhart Rd., Wan Chai) “This place in Wan Chai also opens ‘til late. They’ve got nice pasta and a big screen showing soccer matches.”
3. Tsui Wah (15-19 Wellington St., Central, 2525-6338) “This is a Hong Kong style 'tea' restaurant that has a huge variety of dishes, from all kinds of noodles and rice to Hainan chicken, rice, etc.”
4. McDonald's (Ground Floor, Chinachem Johnston Plaza, 178 - 186 Johnston Rd., Wan Chai, 2591-4351) “This Micky D’s is open 24 hours: If you want a burger in the wee hours of the morning you have no choice!”
5. Cafe One (The Park Lane, 310 Gloucester Rd., Causeway Bay, 2839-3311) “This place is located on top of the Ikea store in Causeway Bay, open 24 hours. If I feel like a hotel coffee-shop type menu, I’ll go there.”
