Hong Kong's Best Late Night Eats
So it’s the middle of the night, you’ve been drinking for five hours, and you’re STARVING. Want to find the best nocturnal noms? Read on. By HK Staff
Open Late...
Sunny Side Up
The modest and slightly run-down Sun Hing Chang specializes in freshly boiled fish congee, and there’s a lot of fish on the Chinese-only menu—fish belly, fish bone, fish tail, fish jaw, fish head, even fish mouth. Not a fish lover? Classic congee condiments such as pork liver and beef are available as well. The service and surrounds aren’t going to wow anyone, but if you’re after a bowl of satisfying, tasty congee to soak up the booze: This joint gets it right.
Open: Daily 6-1am.
23 Ning Po St., Jordan, 2783-8539.
Hor Fun
HK Mag favorite Hor Hor Deem (可可店) is a K-Town mainstay that’s particularly popular with HKU students, thanks to its unbeatably low prices. Choose from classic Cantonese snacks like curried fishballs and really excellent cheung fun served with peanut and chili sauces. There’s no English sign, but you won’t miss it—it’s usually packed.
Open: Daily 4pm-3am.
136-142 Belcher’s St., Kennedy Town, 2818-3658.
Get Sum
Recently opened Sum Yeh Loi Chiu (心夜來潮)—which translates poetically to “satisfying a craving for Chiu Chow food late at night”—is a Mong Kok hotspot open until 3am. Munch on chilled seafood, ranging from sea urchin to baby oysters to crab brimming with orange roe. The signature choi cha puts a modern spin on Chiu Chow rice soup: It’s made with a clear vegetable tea and topped with sliced mushroom and peanuts.
Open: Daily 6pm-3am.
Shop A, G/F, Skyline Tower, 18 Tong Mi Rd., Mong Kok, 6737-8676.
Amazake Grace
It’s hard to find a place that will take care of your entire night, from pre-game down to the wee hours—when all you want to do is stuff your face with food. Enter Amazake, a bar and restaurant sandwiched between three nightclubs: Play, Levels and Dizzi. On Fridays and Saturdays it’s open until 3am, so hit up Amazake for a killer late night menu of ramen bowls, fried chicken, and pork gyozas—and maybe just another cocktail or three.
Open: Thu 6pm-1:30am, Fri-Sat 6pm-3am.
G/F, On Hing Building, 1 On Hing Terrace, Central, 2537-7787.
