As we take one more step towards summer, we’re looking at new bars and restaurants in Hong Kong that might help you beat the heat.

Wind down in an adult ball pit cocktail bar, switch up heavier broths for coconut water hotpot, and try out some new ice creams.

Again, this is a month heavy on imported names as concepts from Japan, mainland China and Macau have opened their doors in Hong Kong.
