Roucou

Are you a cheese and sushi lover? Have trouble choosing between the two? Newly opened Roucou has a solution in the form of its daring, cheese-centric omakase counter that combines rustic French dairy with haute Japanese. Expect indulgent bites such as sea bream sashimi with ponzu goat-cheese emulsion, and binchotan-seared toro and Camembert with sushi rice and nori.
G/F, 28 Aberdeen Street, Central

Nobody is Somebody

Amble around gritty Tai Kok Tsui this month and you might notice something completely out of place and utterly whimsical: an inflatable, zebra-striped flower snaking up the side of an otherwise unremarkable building. Titled Nobody is Somebody, it’s an art installation presented by architectural firm Soft Space and the Hong Kong Arts Centre, in a bid to kick-start conversations of urban renewal. It’s a reminder to stop and smell the roses, even when they’re towering over you.
75 Bedford Road, Tai Kok Tsui

Canton Disco

Iconic nightclub Canton Disco, known back in the day as Hong Kong’s answer to Studio 54, is being revived for one night only at The Trilogy on May 17, in lieu of what would have been its 40th anniversary. Founder and DJ Andrew Bull will take to the decks, alongside many of the bartenders and onstage talents who frequented the original hotspot, in a nostalgic nod to the 1980s in partnership with cognac brand Martell.
The Trilogy, 26/F, H Code, 45 Pottinger Street, Central.
