This coffee and dessert bar is located in a grand and sparse space near the top of Langham Place. Honestly, we were expecting something more local and colorful in a district like Mong Kok, and were surprised by the generous gaps between each table and the understated colors of the whole interior. Lots of white, and lots of light, bright furniture.

You’ll be (literally) floating 42 stories above ground level. Swim some laps to the rhythm of their underwater audio system, step into a Jacuzzi or sit pretty in a lounge chair while enjoying your favorite cocktail, along with the spectacular views you can only get from on high.

The buzz: With creative direction and branding management by local artist Stanley Wong, rwb330 (which stands for red-white-blue 330) takes the red, white and blue striped pattern of those ubiquitous nylon bags—oft spotted being dragged up steep hills by amahs and grannies—and gives them a new lease on life in trendy totes, backpacks and other accessories.
The aforementioned red-white-and-blue bags… and placemats, tissue box covers, and whatever other homey knick-knacks you can think of. All the wares here are great for those who look at the pattern with nostalgia, or who’re fans of the “cheap-n’-chic” phenomenon that’s been on the rise lately. Handmade products and patchwork by local designer Prudence Mak (also known as Chocolate Rain) and others are also available.
