Hansik Goo

Marking its sixth year, one-Michelin-starred Hansik Goo has unveiled two dinner menus by head chef Park Seung-hun to take diners on a deeper dive into the culinary heritage of the Korean peninsula. The expanded repertoire includes a restorative sea cucumber samgyetang with chicken-skin dumplings, abalone porridge and a duo of Hanwoo beef.

Alibi – Wine Dine Be Social

In a new collaboration with local collective Tennin Tattoo, the Cordis Hotel’s bar-restaurant is launching a trio of cocktails being poured until April 30. The “Twin Odyssey: Ink & Elixir” menu interprets the styles of three artists into liquid form: take the Dragon, a punchy blend of awamori and gin inspired by Mike Kam’s traditional Japanese motifs. Each drink arrives with a temporary tattoo sticker, offering a taste of rebellion without the commitment.

Drop In

Skateboarding gets the gallery treatment at this new exhibition at the DX Design Hub running until April 13. Moving beyond the half-pipe, the show unpacks the subculture’s impact on local design, featuring everything from upcycled deck furniture to Skatetao, or ceramics moulded from skate wheels. With sections dedicated to street fashion and a tactile fingerboard zone, it’s a vibrant, if unexpected, look at how the sport shapes Hong Kong’s creative fabric.

InnerGlow

Tai Kwun is set to welcome the fifth edition of InnerGlow, transforming its Parade Ground into a retro-futuristic dreamscape. Running nightly until February 22, Discotheque Dreams, a collaboration with local studio The Collective, maps a neon collision of 1970s disco and martial arts cinema onto the Barrack Block. With interactive tech inviting the crowd to join the fray and experimental alumni works illuminating the nearby F Hall, it’s a mesmerising start to the Year of the Horse.
