1 Second Draft
Second Draft is right at the entrance of Tai Hang—one of our favourite precincts to explore—and it is well-known for its cosy and hipster vibe, without any of the pretentiousness of up-and-coming neighbourhoods. Its interior design will take you back to 1970s Hong Kong, a time when everything was classier (did anyone say Wong Kar-wai?), and the seatings have a distinct cha chaan teng influence. Still, the dimmed ambience and wooden surrounding give out a unique atmosphere.
Every dish they serve is a homage to Hong Kong’s East-meets-West cuisine. Our favourite is their Tai Hang fries ($78)—have you ever tried fries topped with cumin dust and dried chilli, served with takana (タカナ), a pickled Japanese mustard green? It goes really well with any of Second Draft’s local and international craft selection (but Young Master’s Saison IPA did the magic).
