Pop-ups are a sign of the times. Across Hong Kong, temporary dining experiences are giving chefs and creatives a rare space to test bold concepts, challenge traditional restaurant models and rethink classic menus.

From Ron Wan (@therealcatherinezetajones) and Mildred Cheng’s (@vegan_chick3n) creative collective Dtby_ (@dtby_) taking over local cafes, bars and restaurants to Chomp’s (@chompfoodapp) waste-nothing “Rescued Feasts” and Jen Balisi’s (indulgenteats) journey from pop-up queen to restaurateur, these limited-time events are reshaping the city’s culinary scene. Even hospitality groups like Black Sheep Restaurants (@blacksheeprestaurants) use them as launch pads.

PostMag explores how pop-up dining is helping Hong Kong’s food scene survive and innovate in challenging times.

We’re in Hong Kong’s Sham Shui Po district with N.Y.P.D. 南洋派對 - arguably the most important and influential band to emerge from the city in the past decade - and things are getting weird. Our reporter falls down a total of three times during the interview, which triples our previous record for falling down during interviews. The first fall comes when guitarist Jack takes a tumble during the photo shoot and brings us down with him. Then we fall off our stool twice during our sit-down, and we haven’t had a single drink. But nobody bats an eye. It’s just another day in the world of N.Y.P.D.

The electronic/post-punk band’s second full-length LP dropped a few weeks ago and it cuts through the noise even in this unusually fertile period for indie music in Hong Kong that’s seen a whole bunch of bands “handing in their homework”. The album DON’T LIKE 我鍾意 serves up a spicy hotpot of straight-up pummelling punk rock, spiky post-punk, ironic electroclash, ‘80s indie dance, squelchy machine acid-funk and even some sleazy lounge tunes

On paper, it might sound like it shouldn’t work - much like the random collection of mavericks, misfits and mad scientists that make up @nanyangpaidui itself - but you can probably tell by now that your friends here at O.cult really think that it does

So please come with us on a pleasant stroll through Sham Shui Po with the “Drifters of South Asia”
