Ping Pong 129 — Restaurant in Hong Kong Island

After being around for a while, I finally made it out to trying Ping Pong. Hidden behind a single red door, Ping Pong is an underground bar with high ceilings and a bright neon sign. It can feel spacious yet crowded at the same time.

Although I'm not an expert on gin, I decided to go for the classic gin & tonic (Half Crown). I wish they had more seasonal flavors in their menu, maybe like a summery peach, lychee twist, or mangosteen punch, just something besides the classic citrus-flavor profiles.
