If you're still out and now getting hungry, continue via taxi to Wong Tai Sin's Chui Wo Lee (Shop 2, Lower Wong Tai Sin Estate, Ching Tak St), a 24-hour outdoor seafood restaurant whose fried squid balls have been satiating a late-night boozy clientele for years. Run by a post-rock band, it’s large, painfully cool and there's a bring-your-own-booze policy. If there is no action here, try the Italian restaurant room around the corner, Tfvsjs (Unit B, 10/F, Gee Luen Factory Building, 316-318 Kwun Tong Rd). The entrance is through a car garage and is far from obvious look for a gig poster or security guard to guide you. Most MTR lines close around 1am in Kowloon, so you'll want to jump in a red taxi to get across to punk den Hidden Agenda in Kwun Tong on the east side of Kowloon Bay. Cover charges depend on who is playing, but average around HKD$100. Catch your breath over a whisky in the dimly lit Veni Bar (G/F 40-42 San Po Kong Road).
Kowloon City is also home to a vibrant Thai community, who spill onto the streets after dark. These days, it’s a beautiful public park open around the clock. Wander east (or hail a taxi) past the flower market – busy setting up for the morning at this time of night – and you'll eventually find Kowloon Walled City, which was un-governed Chinese territory during British rule and home to hundreds of opium dens and brothels.
