Don your glad rags and get ready to travel back to the golden age of jazz, in opulent 1920s New York. Hong Kong Ballet’s production of “The Great Gatsby” returns  after its sold-out 2019 debut for eight exuberant performances, between Friday, 27 October and Sunday, 5 November.

Described by critics as “a feast for the eyes”, brace yourself for rambunctious revelry, as we follow our enigmatic host, Jay Gatsby, into his world of carefree frivolity, against the backdrop of all-consuming love, thwarted ambition and shocking scandals. Needless to say, it’s a party you won’t want to miss.

Narrated by James Seol, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s cautionary tale of love, wealth and betrayal, comes to life on stage in this spirited production choreographed by the esteemed Septime Webre. Setting the tone of the show with steamy jazz tunes will be Billy Novick’s Blue Syncopators and award-winning blues singer E. Faye Butler, performing live.

This special production showcases local veteran Tan-ki Wong’s bravura tap dancing, alongside original Art Deco sets and costumes by Academy Award-winning designer Tim Yip (best known for his work on “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”). In true Gatsby fashion, HK Ballet is pulling out all the stops and we expect the show to be the talk of the town.

Tickets can be purchased online or at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre. Seats start at $220, with a 50% discount available for students and seniors. As an extra bonus, ticket holders can enjoy 15% off dining at Rosewood Hong Kong’s BluHouse or Holt’s Café, and can also book the 3-course dinner set menu at Regent Hong Kong’s The Lobby Lounge at the special price of $440.

The post What To Know About Affordable Art Fair Hong Kong 2022 appeared first on Sassy Hong Kong.

We may not have white Christmases in Hong Kong, but we make up for that in colour. Take a ferry across the harbour and head to Tsim Sha Tsui where lines of festive light displays await. These displays can be found on the facades of China Hong Kong City, Tsim Sha Tsui Centre & Empire Centre, as well as the Insta-famous Mody Lane.

The theme this year? Disney! To celebrate the long-awaited arrival of Disney+ in Hong Kong, the streaming service will help to light up the season with dazzling Disney-themed Christmas displays featuring all your favourite characters. Expect appearances from the different Disney brands including Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars.

Don’t miss the 4,000 sq. metre multimedia wall of Tsim Sha Tsui Centre & Empire Centre, which features 82,000 colour-changing LED bulbs along with a special animation starring six iconic Disney+ brands. Don’t forget to share your best snaps on social media for the chance to win some amazing prizes such as a 12-Month Disney+ with 1000M Broadband Service Plan. See details on how to enter the photo contest here.

The festive fun doesn’t have to end there! Grab dinner and drinks at one of the many bars and restaurants in the area where you can bask in the glow of the lights from afar – and also enjoy equally stunning views of Victoria harbour.

Pierside Bar & Restaurant offers Insta-worthy sea views and an excellent wine and cocktail menu to match. Throw in a few snacks from the bar and you’re all set for a fab night out. Another great spot for drinks by the water is Boticario Bar & Grill. The cocktail programme here is built around the concept of “cures for the modern age”, which sounds like just what we need to ring in the new year.

For something a little heartier, head to PABLO Modern Mexican Cocina, which serves up some mean Mexican flavours. We hear PABLO’s signature cocktails are also not to be missed!

Feeling a little chilly? Cosy up at Flame at Towngas Avenue where you can feast upon flame-cooked fare. Its Festive Set Dinner includes Roasted US Turkey Breast & Honey Glazed Bone Ham, your choice of Grilled Argentine Beef Rib Eye Steak, Smoked Norwegian Salmon Fillet or Seafood Bouillabaisse, and more for just $438.

Foodies, get excited! The Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival is revving up for another round of tantalising gastronomic experiences, showcasing Hong Kong’s finest in F&B. This year, the festival has partnered with over 400 restaurants to curate a city-wide “Taste Around Town” experience, allowing you to discover a “New Adventure”, “New Experiences” and “New Perspectives”. From thematic Wine Walks through our favourite neighbourhoods to live-streamed wine tastings and special menus from top-tier restaurants, there’s plenty to whet your appetite.

New Adventure: City Wine Walk

Running through the entire month of November, the festival will host its first-ever City Wine Walks covering four different neighbourhoods – Central, Kennedy Town, Wan Chai and Tsim Sha Tsui. The concept is simple: with your handy digital tasting pass and e-maps, you can enjoy special limited-time offers at any of the 50 participating restaurants and bars around the four areas.

From a tour of award-winning bars in Central to caffeinated cocktails in Kennedy Town, a fusion of international flavours at Wan Chai and drinks with a view in Tsim Sha Tsui, Sassy will be sharing its top picks in each neighbourhood over the next few weeks to help you use your tasting tokens wisely.

There’s no time to waste! Check out the full list of participating bars and restaurants on the Wine & Dine website and get your tasting pass today. The first 100 to visit 20 restaurants will receive a wine-tasting kit and a $1,000 in Future Cruise Credits for four-night itineraries on board the Royal Caribbean Cruises cruise liner, Spectrum of the Seas.

Tasting Passes start at $250 – head here to book your Tasting Pass now!

New Experiences: Tasting On Air

Looking to get your wine on? Over two consecutive weekends (6-7 and 13-14 November), oenophiles can sign up to live-streamed wine tastings led by the likes of internationally-renowned wine critic James Suckling, master sommelier Nelson Chow and Bordeaux-accredited wine tutor Corinne Mui. The specially-curated tasting kits, now available for pre-ordering, will allow you to interact and sample bottles along with the experts from the comfort of your living room.

More of a cocktail connoisseur? You’ll also find corresponding tasting kits for expert-led sustainable mixology masterclasses, whisky and oyster pairings and more on the Wine & Dine website. Those who are unable to make it to the live programmes will be able to watch reruns online.

Tasting Kits start at $250 – head here to order your Tasting Kit now!

New Perspectives: Chinese Omakase By Masterchefs

Food-wise, this edition of the Wine & Dine Festival sets out to highlight Chinese cuisine by way of “Chinese Omakase by Masterchefs”, featuring a “five elements” menu at JW Marriott Hotel’s Man Ho Chinese Restaurant, a “15 cooking techniques” banquet at NUVA, and a feast encompassing eight regional cuisines at Mott 32.

As usual, you can expect a slew of delectable dining deals to be enjoyed throughout the month, with discounts of up to 30% off at 400+ restaurants, plus limited-time special menus from 60 Michelin-starred and award-winning establishments. Bookings will open from Monday, 1 November – we’re expecting tables to fill up quickly, so be sure to mark your calendars.

Head here to book your table now!

While you’re pencilling in dates, it’s worth noting that there will be more exciting gourmet-themed events happening around town in conjunction with the Wine & Dine Festival, such as the Tong Chong Street Coffee Festival in Tai Koo, LKF Cuisine Celebrations in Central, a Sake pop-up at Times Square and a Cocktail Roadshow at K11 Art Mall.

With all this and more to look forward to, you won’t want to miss this year’s Wine & Dine festival. Forks at the ready! Make sure you secure your tables before spots sell out!
