There’s plenty going on in HK this weekend that you won’t want to miss! Tickle your funny bone at a charity comedy night, zen out at a silent yoga party or enjoy a bottle of wine outdoors at Botellón… you’re sure to find something to help you wind down after such a busy week. It’s all in this week’s Weekender!
Get waffled
If you fancy yourself as the next Top Chef, why not register to take part in Umami Concepts Waffle Pop Up Brunch Cooking Party? It’s all about the sweet goodness that is the waffle… Bring a buddy (because we know sharing is caring) so that you can tag team, cooking for each other with the skills you pick up from head chef Nolan Ledarney. You’ll also get to take home a free waffle iron for those lazy Saturday mornings at home.

Where: Umami Concepts, 35 Bonham Road, Mid-Levels, Hong Kong
How much: $600 for two people . RSVP here!

Light it up!
This event is for all our Sassy yogis out there! Zen out this Sunday at Sun Yat Sen Park for a truly unique yoga experience. The Yoga Room is hosting another ‘Silent Yoga Party‘ in the evening, where music and teacher instructions will only be heard through illuminated disco headphones. Imagine a sea of lights moving together in silence… magical! We can’t imagine a better way to wind down at the end of the weekend and get ready for the week ahead. Don’t forget to bring your own mat!
