Hong Kong is a decidedly 24/7 city, necessitating that we find food to chomp on at any time of the day around where we live and work.
For those beginning or finishing a night out in Hong Kong, ending your work day later, or for some reason having a yearning for dinner out later, we outlined some of the best spots to visit for late-night dining.
