No, the Death card doesn’t<br />
mean death. Mostly. Instead it<br />
represents endings, beginnings,<br />
change or transformation. So what’s<br />
ending and beginning this year?<br />
The South Will Rise Again<br />
With last year’s opening of the West Island Line,<br />
Western district became <strong>THE</strong> place to hang out.<br />
But one year on, Sai Wan’s old news. Where next<br />
for the self-respecting hipster? The Southside,<br />
of course. The South Island Line is (finally) slated<br />
to open in 2016 and the former industrial district<br />
of Wong Chuk Hang is quietly transforming into<br />
something way cooler. Here are six things to do in<br />
a day, before everyone moves in and ruins it all.<br />
1) Start with brunch at 3/3rds (22D Yally Industrial<br />
Building, 6 Yip Fat St., Wong Chuk Hang, 3462-<br />
2951), a cool and charming cafeteria serving healthy<br />
salads, pizzas and pancakes with a side of abundant<br />
natural light.<br />
2) Then head to one of the many galleries in the<br />
district, including Blindspot Gallery (15/F, Po Chai<br />
Industrial Building, 28 Wong Chuk Hang Rd., Wong<br />
Chuk Hang, 2517-6238), for an artsy hour or two.<br />
3) Go furniture shopping at the spacious and<br />
exceedingly well-stocked Lane Crawford Home<br />
Store and Showroom (G/F, One Island South,<br />
2 Heung Yip Rd., Wong Chuk Hang, 2118-2288).<br />
4) Caffeine junkies, take a pit stop at Sensory Zero<br />
(G01, One Island South, 2 Heung Yip Rd., Wong<br />
Chuk Hang, 2511-6011), a small artisan coffee joint.<br />
5) Grab a dry-aged beef wellington for dinner at<br />
The Butchers Club Deli (16/F, Shui Ki Industrial<br />
Building, 18 Wong Chuk Hang Rd., Wong Chuk<br />
Hang, 2884-0768).<br />
6) End your day with a nightcap at Ovolo Southside’s<br />
rooftop bar Above (23/F, Ovolo Southside, 64 Wong<br />
Chuk Hang Rd., Wong Chuk Hang, 3460-8100), which<br />
has fantastic views out towards Repulse Bay.<br />
