The best things to do in Hong Kong this week (November 10-16)

Canadian rapper and singer bbno$ is coming back to Hong Kong for his first solo show in the city! With viral hits like Lalala released with American producer Y2K and edamame featuring Indonesian rapper Rich Brian, and through his collaborations with American rapper Yung Gravy, bbno$ has racked up 14.8 million monthly listeners on Spotify.

This will be his first solo gig in Hong Kong – part of the artist’s ‘it’s pronounced baby no money’ world tour – will take place at Tides in Whampoa, a newly opened music venue, on November 13, so fans will likely get to hear a couple of tracks off the new album live. Live Nation members can snag tickets ($599) on Live Nation on September 25 from 12 pm onwards. General sale tickets will then be released on September 26 from 12 pm onwards.

Following the success of their first collaboration, chef ArChan of Ho Lee Fook and chef Jayson Tang of Man Ho Chinese Restaurant are reuniting for another project this month. The Cantonese chefs will be delving into the world of ‘The Four Treasures’ – namely abalone, sea cucumber, fish maw, and vegetarian shark fin – for this innovative Cantonese menu.  

Ho Lee Fook x Man Ho Chinese Restaurant’s collaboration menu is available for one-night-only on November 13, 2025 at Ho Lee Fook. The menu is priced from $1,688 per person.

The popular Japanese mascot series Namagaki, better known as Baby Oyster, is taking over Festival Walk in Kowloon Tong with a themed installation! The Namagaki Festival features a series of installations and exhibits for fans to take pictures with. At the centre of the installation is a four-metre-tall giant oyster can and the pastel-coloured Namagaki Washoku House. 

Beyond photo ops, fans will delight in browsing through the themed pop-up store housing over 100 exclusive Namagaki products, including 80 first launches in Hong Kong that span everything from stationery to t-shirts and tote bags. 

New-gen Japanese singer-songwriter Yuuri will be coming to Hong Kong towards the end of the year as part of his Asia tour. This will be his first full concert in our city, and considering his shows in Seoul and Taipei were sold out very quickly, we have high hopes for this young talent. The one-night-only, open-air concert promises to showcase Yuuri’s most iconic songs, and we have our fingers crossed for his breakout hits ‘Peter Pan’ and ‘Kakurenbo’, his opening track for My Hero Academia ‘Curtain Call’, as well as our favourite ballad ‘Dried Flower’.

Yuuri takes the stage at AXA Wonderland on November 15. Tickets run from $880 to $1,980, with the most pricey ticket tier getting early access to the audience area closest to the stage. 

Doggo Fest, billed as Hong Kong’s “biggest celebration for dogs and their humans,” is taking place at West Kowloon Cultural District from November 14 to 16, promising a weekend of dynamic activities, engrossing workshops, and captivating entertainment. 

Set in a green space spanning more than 100,000 sq ft, Doggo Fest is divided into numerous zones – some free and some ticketed. Let the pups run wild in the 7,000-sq-ft Petventure Land playground, or in the 6,000-sq-ft Off-Leash Park. Snap photos of Fido at photo spots, take things easy at Music & Chill, and learn from experts at the interactive workshops. Over at the Doggo Expo, pet brands big and small will take over 100 marketplace stalls, with festival-exclusive discounts available.

All set to let the dogs out? Purchase your ticket through 01 Space, Klook, or Popticket.

Culinary Class Wars fans, heads up! ‘Cooking Maniac’ chef Yoon Nam-no from the hit Netflix series is doing an exclusive four-hands collaboration with chef Kyle Lee of Honjo.

This collaborative menu can be enjoyed as a set experience at $580 per person, or ordered as à la carte dishes. After the launch dinner on October 17, both chefs will be around for a meet-and-greet during brunch and dinner on October 18 and 19.

Step into the year 2066 with Ding Lab, a unique mobile immersive exhibition that celebrates the cultural significance and evolution of Hong Kong’s iconic tram. Set within the upper and lower decks of a ding ding we all know and love, the exhibition invites the public to contemplate and explore the city’s rapidly changing landscape through a fictional narrative of Tram0 – a sentient cyborg tram. 

The installation will travel through the Central and Western Districts from November 7 to 28, starting at the Whitty Street Tram Depot and ending at Belcher Bay Promenade with weekday and weekend tours available by reservation. Beyond a ride on this cyborg tram, Ding Lab also comes with accompanying workshops, seminars, and a Tamagotchi-like digital pet tram named ‘Greenie’ to take home with you. Find out more about the installation and get your tickets at popticket.hk/ding-lab.

This November, 13 Hong Kong bars take part in the Clear Head, Strong Cause campaign, an initiative led by non-alcoholic spirit band Crossip in partnership with local mental health charity Mind HK and Movember. Joining this mindful drinking menu to raise awareness and support for men’s mental health, are some of our city’s most popular bars including Courtroom, Socio, Kinsman, and more. 

Each establishment will approach Crossip’s catalogue of zero ABV spirits with its unique spin, creating a campaign-special mocktail that is bold, vibrant, and flavour-forward. A portion of proceeds from each drink will be donated directly to Mind HK for its cause. 

American fast food chain Shake Shack has teamed up with Regent Hong Kong for a limited-time menu, and it’s nothing like your usual Shake Shack fare! Get ready for the world-exclusive Foie Gras Shack ($195), available only from November 12 to December 12 at the Lobby Lounge, which features a potato bun, an Angus beef patty, melted Gruyere, caramelised onion, black truffle mayonnaise, and foie gras torchon.

No Shake Shack meal is complete without crinkle-cut fries, and Regent Hong Kong’s thought of something spectacular for that too: the luxurious Shack Caviar Fries ($225), served with crème fraîche bavarois, chives, and irresistible caviar. You can also opt for Dom Pérignon White Luminous Vintage 2015 ($398 per glass, or $2,280 per bottle) to go with the meal.

If you’re lucky enough to be among the first 100 guests to get your hands on the Foie Gras Shack, not only will you walk away with bragging rights, but also a special-edition collector’s goodie bag that commemorates this first-of-its-kind collaboration.

Make your reservations here to be the first to try this exciting launch!

Immerse yourself in the forgotten days of the Kowloon Walled City at this epic movie set exhibition, located on the original site of the infamous Kowloon Walled City. Featuring incredibly detailed recreations of shops and other setups from the award-winning Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In, the exhibition will let visitors travel back in time to the Walled City in the 1980s.

From the local cafe to the dental clinic, the attention to detail is truly impressive. There's even a small 'screen room' mimicking the rooftops of old buildings back in the day, where visitors can sit and watch the neighbourhood turn from day to night, and listen to the roaring sound of low-flying airplanes over the Walled City area.

Check out our guide for everything you need to know about the exhibition, from dates and opening hours to highlights not to be missed.

M+ Cinema is sending audiences on a black to the past with its Autumn Edition 2025, taking place from October to December, and the programme is filled to the brim with special exhibitions, showcases, and tributes to Hong Kong’s rich cinematic legacy.

Kicking things off is M+ Restored, an initiative dedicated to preserving Hong Kong cinema history through the restoration of nine feature films. ‘Rediscoveries—Chinese Diaspora in Hollywood’ celebrates the significant cinematic contributions of the Chinese diaspora and the considerable challenges they had to overcome within the American film industry. 

With spooky season coming up, M+ Cinema has prepared two special screenings to celebrate the occasion. ‘Every Bruce Was Kung Fu Fighting’ centres on ‘Bruceploitation’ – the low-budget, imitation genre that sprung up as the immediate aftermath of Bruce Lee’s untimely passing – featuring two grindhouse classics and one documentary. M+ Cinema is also bringing the 4K restored versions of Ju-On and Ju-On 2 (2000) to the big screen for anyone keen to revisit the horror classic in time for Halloween.

‘Fresh Eyes’ will showcase two animated films: Bambi (1942), which was brought to life through concept art created by the late Chinese-American artist Tyrus Wong – who served as the lead production illustrator on the film – and Shrek (2001), the animation of which was supervised by Hong Kong-born animator Raman Hui.

See the full programme and how to purchase tickets on the M+ website.

Kowloon Shangri-La is bringing back its highly acclaimed, oft sold-out Japanese Artisanal Bread Breakfast Buffet this autumn! Head to the Lobby Lounge to nosh on an expansive spread of exquisite Japanese pastries and breads, featuring 20 different kinds of artisan baked goods that run the gamut from savoury to sweet.

New items to the bread breakfast buffet include the shaved truffle egg salad doughnuts, the chestnut Mont Blanc danish, and mini ‘nama’ cream doughnuts. You can also sink your teeth into made-to-order mini mentaiko baguettes, a Hakata speciality from Fukuoka, and fluffy Japanese white toast slathered in butter and jam from Okinawa. We’re personally most excited for a bite of the sea salt butter red bean bread. Known as a shio croissant, this delicious morsel perfectly balances savoury and sweet, thanks to a dusting of salt flakes and a filling of butter and red bean.

Kowloon Shangri-La’s perennially popular Japanese Artisan Bread Breakfast Buffet ($198 per person) will be back from November 14, 2025 to January 4, 2026 on Fridays to Sundays and on public holidays from 8am to 10.30am, so if you’re hoping to load up on carbs, run, don’t walk, to make your reservation, as walk-ins are not accepted.

Tai Kwun Contemporary is presenting a two-part exhibition under the theme ‘Stay Connected: Art and China Since 2008’. Centred around an expansive exploration of the transformations and social shifts within 21st-century China brought about by the prolific spread of the internet and digital technologies, the first chapter will take over all three floors of the JC Contemporary art spaces, running for a little over three months.

‘Stay Connected: Navigating the Cloud’ will present more than 50 pieces mapping the creative pursuits of over 35 artists and groups whose practices are influenced by social media, the internet, and digital technologies. Divided into themed segments such as artificial intelligence, information bubbles, online communities, and more, the showcase explores how to ‘stay connected’ in today’s world. Li Shuang, Li Yi-fan, Miao Ying, Wong Ping, Lu Yang, Shao Chun, Zhang Yibei, and the Xijing Men collective are among the many artists exhibiting. Collaborative duo Sun Yuan & Peng Yu – whose claim to fame is the Can’t Help Myself kinetic sculpture with a robotic arm – is also participating.

A new exhibition at M+ showcases 12 immersive installations by pioneering women artists from Asia, Europe, and the Americas, including three new works by Asian artists. Dream Rooms: Environments by Women Artists 1950s–Now emphasises the multisensory experience of art and highlights women’s contributions to installation art, a field often overshadowed by male artists. Visitors can actively engage with the environments, which include nine historic pieces that have been painstakingly reconstructed, such as Aleksandra Kasuba’s Spectral Passage (1975), which invites individuals to journey through interconnected nylon structures as a metaphor of the life cycle; Judy Chicago’s Feather Room (1966), an all-white space filled with 300 pounds of feathers; and more.

M+ will also host talks with co-curators Andrea Lissoni and Marina Pugliese to discuss the concept behind the exhibition, and a panel discussion with the three Asian artists whose new, commissioned work is part of Dream Rooms. Additionally, M+ Cinema will screen three documentaries about some of the exhibited artists to supplement the show.

Head to the Hong Kong Palace Museum (HKPM) to find our city’s first comprehensive exhibition dedicated to Mughal art. The Mughal empire was one of the world’s most powerful kingdoms that encompassed much of modern-day Indian, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, ruling from the 16th to the 17th centuries. Though they ruled a mainly Hindu population, the Mughals were Muslim with Mongol origins, and were known for their rich culture and architecture – the Taj Mahal is one such legacy from this empire.

Over 100 artefacts from the golden age of the Mughal dynasty, from paintings and jewellery to weaponry, architectural segments, and even some rare surviving textiles from this period are now on show – Hong Kong is this exhibition’s only Asia venue after its London premiere in the Victoria and Albert Museum. Under the rule of three emperors, the Mughal court greatly fostered artistic development and embraced cross-cultural influences, shown here in jade pieces that have incorporated motifs from the Chinese court. Highlights include a casket with mother-of-pearl inlays, a thumb ring from Emperor Akbar’s reign with western enamelling that shows the Mughal court’s hybrid aesthetic, and a beautiful dagger sheath and hilt lavishly decorated with gold and red gemstones.

‘Treasures of the Mughal Court’ runs until February 23, 2026, and tickets are priced from $150 which also grants access to HKPM’s thematic exhibitions in galleries one to seven.

The Hong Kong Space Museum has launched a new 3D dome show catered to little Einsteins and space-loving adults. ‘The Great Solar System Adventure 3D’ replaces their previous programme exploring the Arctic wilderness with an immersive, interstellar voyage.

The show will run until October 14, 2026, with screening times at 2pm and 6.30pm on weekdays, 12.30pm and 5pm on weekends and public holidays at the Space Theatre. Tickets are priced from $15 to $40 per person.
