Fusing the worlds of art, food, mixology, architecture, and music, the evening brought together five masters of their respective crafts: Chef Edward Lee, architect Otto Ng, artist Eddie Kang, mixologist Halim Kim, and DJ Andrew Bull. The goal wasn\u2019t only a collaboration but a \u201ccollision\u201d \u2014 an experiment where the boundaries between permanent architecture and ephemeral consumption were blurred. The result? A stunning, edible centerpiece co-curated by Lee and Ng, which saw guests enjoy an intricate way to consume a meal.<\/p>\n<p>For Otto Ng of LAAB, this project was about stepping out of the \u201clarge-scale\u201d comfort zone. While he usually designs entire restaurants, this time he shrunk his focus to the palm of a hand, creating the Harbour Plate \u2014 a 12-foot sculptural vessel inspired by the iconic Victoria Harbour. \u201cI had to literally imagine how Edward Lee would glide his sauces across the surface,\u201d Ng shared to Hypebeast, \u201cand how the curvature of my contours could complement his movements to create one harmonious presentation.\u201d Meanwhile, Chef Lee approached the collision with a student\u2019s curiosity. Working with Ng\u2019s three-dimensional landscapes forced him to rethink the very nature of plating. \u201c[Ng&#8217;s] medium is space, design, and three-dimensional landscapes. The landscape that he did is very interesting because it is three-dimensional, and plates are usually flat or it\u2019s a bowl,\u201d Lee noted. \u201cTo be able to plate on something that\u2019s sculptural three-dimensional is very interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Kang, he saw his role as providing the \u201cnarrative layers\u201d that people feel rather than see. As he saw it, the collaboration proved that the \u201cblueprint\u201d of an event isn\u2019t always a physical document, but a shared emotional atmosphere. \u201cArchitecture, food, drinks, and music all have their own narratives,\u201d Kang explained. \u201cWhen these come together, people don\u2019t think about each part. They just feel one atmosphere.\u201d It was mixologist Kim who brought a sense of balance to the \u201ccollision\u201d through the concept of his drinks for the evening: Yin and Yang. His contributions, titled \u201cShadow\u201d and \u201cBloom,\u201d were designed to be incomplete on their own, only finding unity when experienced together. \u201cMy drinks are built on this idea\u2026 Individually, they are incomplete \u2014 but together, they become a single narrative,\u201d Kim said, noting that HIS inspiration often came from the \u201cimperfections\u201d found in Kang\u2019s art.\n<\/p>\n<p>As the musical curator, Bull viewed the space as his most formidable partner. In a room defined by precise architectural lines, he treated every surface as a reflection of the sound itself. \u201cThe venue is absolutely a collaborator,\u201d Bull remarked. \u201cThe building listens back\u2026 it\u2019s the sixth collaborator, and probably the most unforgiving one.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\" data-animate=\"slide\" data-slideshow data-loop data-slideshowspeed=\"7000\" data-group-cells=\"1\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"1\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">1 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F03%2F27%2Fedward-lee-otto-ng-halim-kim-eddie-kang-andrew-bull-them-good-party-interview-3.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tim Lee\/Hypebeast<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"2\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">2 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F03%2F27%2Fedward-lee-otto-ng-halim-kim-eddie-kang-andrew-bull-them-good-party-interview-4.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tim Lee\/Hypebeast<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"3\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">3 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F03%2F27%2Fedward-lee-otto-ng-halim-kim-eddie-kang-andrew-bull-them-good-party-interview-5.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tim Lee\/Hypebeast<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"4\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">4 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F03%2F27%2Fedward-lee-otto-ng-halim-kim-eddie-kang-andrew-bull-them-good-party-interview-6.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tim Lee\/Hypebeast<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"5\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">5 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F03%2F27%2Fedward-lee-otto-ng-halim-kim-eddie-kang-andrew-bull-them-good-party-interview-7.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tim Lee\/Hypebeast<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Hypebeast: Every masterpiece, whether a building, a dish, a cocktail, a canvas, or a soundscape, starts with a structural logic. In this five-way collision, how do your individual \u2018blueprints\u2019 overlap to create a single, cohesive atmosphere?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Eddie Kang:<\/strong>I think we all bring our own stories. It\u2019s not only artists who tell stories; architecture, food, drinks, and music all have their own narratives. When these come together, people don\u2019t think about each part. They just feel one atmosphere.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Otto Ng:<\/strong> For me, it\u2019s about celebrating a diversity of talents in the same space. Although we are from different disciplines, the common denominator is the artistic pursuit in our own forms. We aren\u2019t trying to force a single, unified atmosphere. Instead, we\u2019re layering different senses so that when they finally intersect, people can find their own harmony in the chaos\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Halim Kim:<\/strong> Whether it is something we eat and drink, something we see and hear, or even the space we inhabit in this world \u2014\u00a0everything carries its own story. This project was less about aligning around a single, fixed answer, and more about expanding a shared narrative through individual interpretations. We began from the same point, yet translated it through our own languages and sensibilities. And when we came back together, those differences did not clash\u2014they formed a flow. What may seem like divergence on the surface becomes, in fact, a sharper clarity when viewed through sensibility. Everyone involved here operates at a level where understanding and trust do not rely on explanation, but exist naturally within each other\u2019s approach. There was no visible blueprint, yet within each of us there was already a refined internal structure. My role was to translate that flow into the most fluid medium\u2014liquid. In the end, what brought this work together was not a predefined system, but trust. And through that trust, our individual interpretations overlapped into a single, cohesive moment.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Edward Lee:<\/strong> Oh, that\u2019s a big question. I wanted to do something interesting in my field of expertise, so we created sauces. I wanted to think about how food is very temporary. We spend so many hours making beautiful food, and then people eat it in minutes or seconds even. There\u2019s always a temporary nature of food. And unlike most other art, food is here and then it\u2019s gone. So we wanted to kind of celebrate that aspect of it. There\u2019s a bit of an unpredictability and randomness to this experiment as well.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hypebeast: Architecture and Fine Art are built to last decades, while a Chef\u2019s sculpture, a Mixologist\u2019s drink, and a DJ\u2019s set are designed to be consumed in the moment. How does the \u201cpermanent\u201d space change the way we experience these ephemeral performances?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kang:<\/strong>The space gives everything a strong background. M+ has a clear identity, so whatever happens inside feels more focused and meaningful. It helps connect all the different elements together.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ng: <\/strong>M+ itself is an ever-evolving museum. Every time I visit, it feels completely new\u2014the light shifts from day to night, the exhibitions rotate, and the crowd\u2019s energy changes the vibe.\n<\/p>\n<p>Nothing is essentially permanent, not even architecture\u2013the experience can be different during summer and winter. Everything we experience today can only be experienced once, so it really makes me think about how to bring out the best in this collaboration.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kim:<\/strong> Architecture and art may appear permanent, but ultimately they exist as emotions translated through the viewer. And those emotions are neither identical nor fixed. Depending on who experiences them, when, and under what conditions, the same work can be remembered in entirely different ways. A cocktail is no different. The glass empties, the liquid disappears\u2014but what remains is not simply a substance, but a feeling. That feeling lingers in the body through aroma, temperature, and texture. When something that appears permanent yet remains fluid meets something that is momentary yet deeply lasting, the entire experience becomes more dynamic. I hope that everyone who enters this space can move freely within this current of sensations.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lee:<\/strong> A restaurant is a very, very precise and curated space. Any you go into a new environment like this, it\u2019s not my restaurant, you know? The lighting is different, the temperature is different, the noise level is different \u2014 I usually don\u2019t cook in a environment like this, which is kind of a nightclub, so it\u2019s all very different. At the end of the day, I\u2019m a chef, and I can cook in any environment, but it\u2019s interesting to see how all of it affects the end result, which is what the customers think of it.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hypebeast: This venue is defined by its sharp lines and cultural weight. How did this specific architectural environment influence the way the sculpture was built, the art was drawn, the drinks were shaken, and the music was programmed? Is the venue the sixth collaborator?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kang:<\/strong> Yes, I think so. The space has its own character; it affects how we place things, how people move, and how the whole experience feels. So it feels like we are working with the venue as well.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ng: <\/strong> Architecture is not just about the structure, but also the context. M+ is surrounded by the iconic harbour, which has been the muse for a number of my projects at LAAB, including the Harbour Plate this time.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bull:<\/strong> The venue is absolutely a collaborator. It dictates constraints, and constraints are what shape good decisions.\n<\/p>\n<p>The sharp lines and scale at M+ push you toward precision. There\u2019s less room for chaos unless it\u2019s controlled. I programmed these sets with more defined transitions, cleaner EQ work, and a focus on spatial sound in mind\u2014how things move across the room, not just through time.\n<\/p>\n<p>As the \u201cMusical Curator\u201d you are not just \u201cplaying to people\u201d; you\u2019re playing to surfaces, volumes, reflections. The building listens back. So yes, it\u2019s the sixth collaborator, and probably the most unforgiving one. Lucky for us we are at the fabulous new M+ AGATE restaurant space which is carpeted and acoustically warm, so it\u2019s all good!\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kim:<\/strong> This space, especially Eddie Kang\u2019s work, was a major source of inspiration. What I first felt was a narrative of life \u2014 one that becomes clearer precisely through its imperfections. His work, the space, and all the elements gathered here seemed to speak the same language. So rather than creating a single, self-contained drink, I chose a structure that is only complete when two elements come together. Yin and Yang \u2014\u00a0a concept deeply rooted in Korean and Eastern philosophy. The tension between imbalance, and the eventual flow into unity. My drinks are built on this idea. Yin is expressed as \u201cShadow,\u201d and Yang as \u201cBloom.\u201d But no bloom exists without shadow. These two drinks exist in symbiosis. Individually, they are incomplete \u2014\u00a0but together, they become a single narrative.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\"

Ng<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Hypebeast: If you had to translate one another\u2019s work into your own medium, what would it look like?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kang:<\/strong> I would paint something warm and simple. Soft colors, gentle layers, and maybe one small surprising detail. Something comforting, but also a little playful.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lee:<\/strong> They\u2019re all very different. Otto is the one that I worked closely with. His medium is space, design, and three-dimensional landscapes. The landscape that he did is very interesting because it is three-dimensional, and plates are usually flat or it\u2019s a bowl. To be able to plate on something that\u2019s sculptural three-dimensional is very interesting.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hypebeast: Chef, a question for you. Do you have a favorite dish that you really enjoyed consuming recently?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Lee:<\/strong> Myself? No, I eat everything under the sun. I\u2019m looking forward to eating a lot of dim sum in Hong Kong while I\u2019m here. Although I\u2019m a chef, I\u2019m also still a student of food, so I\u2019m always trying new things, trying new recipes, trying new restaurants. It\u2019s very rare that I eat the same thing twice.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hypebeast: Final question for you all. By stepping out of your silos and into this five-way collision, what is one thing you\u2019ve learned about your own craft from observing a discipline so different from your own?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kang:<\/strong> I learned that emotion can be created in many different ways.\n<\/p>\n<p>From the chef, I felt the power of a strong moment.\n<\/p>\n<p>From the mixologist, the importance of small details.\n<\/p>\n<p>From the architect, how space and scale affect experience.\n<\/p>\n<p>From the DJ, how quickly energy can change.\n<\/p>\n<p>It made me think about being more present in my own work.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ng: <\/strong> Usually, when I work with a chef, like how we worked with Anh Sung Jae for Mosu, I\u2019m designing the restaurant \u2014 the space at large, right down to the tables and the lighting. But this time, I\u2019m stepping completely out of my comfort zone to design the plate itself. It\u2019s a much more intimate encounter with the chef\u2019s actual creation. I had to literally imagine how Edward Lee would glide his sauces across the surface, and how the curvature of my contours could complement his movements to create one harmonious presentation.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bull:<\/strong> I\u2019ve learned to think less about dominance and more about coexistence. In a club, the DJ often drives everything. In this context, you\u2019re one layer in a larger system. Watching the other disciplines, especially the precision in architecture and the restraint in fine art, reinforced the idea that subtraction is as important as addition. Not every moment needs to peak. Sometimes holding back creates more impact across the whole experience. It\u2019s made me more deliberate \u2014\u00a0less about playing more, and more about placing the right thing at the exact right moment.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kim:<\/strong> It was an honor to be part of a project alongside such exceptional individuals from different fields. Hong Kong is also a city I deeply love\u2014a place where different cultures and sensibilities naturally coexist, which made it even more fitting for this collaboration. Before being a bartender, I am someone who loves taste, style, music, art, people, and the world itself. Through my work, being able to meet people from different disciplines and share a common sensibility within a single project is deeply meaningful to me. This experience expands my world. It goes beyond simply making drinks behind a bar\u2014it opens new ways of seeing, for both myself and those who experience it. In the end, I was reminded that truly meaningful work is not explained \u2014\u00a0it is felt.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lee:<\/strong> Everyone approaches their work seriously, and they have a focus and a process. But I think what most people don\u2019t see is the hours of work that go into it behind the scenes. It was very eye opening to see how many hours, how much prep work goes into creating everything, including the food. I take my work very seriously, and they take their work very seriously. I love seeing the passion and the work ethic that goes into their craft, because it\u2019s the same that I bring to mine.

Fusing the worlds of art, food, mixology, architecture, and music, the evening brought together five masters of their respective crafts: Chef Edward Lee, architect Otto Ng, artist Eddie Kang, mixologist Halim Kim, and DJ Andrew Bull. The goal wasn\u2019t only a collaboration but a \u201ccollision\u201d \u2014 an experiment where the boundaries between permanent architecture and ephemeral consumption were blurred. The result? A stunning, edible centerpiece co-curated by Lee and Ng, which saw guests enjoy an intricate way to consume a meal.<\/p>\n<p>For Otto Ng of LAAB, this project was about stepping out of the \u201clarge-scale\u201d comfort zone. While he usually designs entire restaurants, this time he shrunk his focus to the palm of a hand, creating the Harbour Plate \u2014 a 12-foot sculptural vessel inspired by the iconic Victoria Harbour. \u201cI had to literally imagine how Edward Lee would glide his sauces across the surface,\u201d Ng shared to Hypebeast, \u201cand how the curvature of my contours could complement his movements to create one harmonious presentation.\u201d Meanwhile, Chef Lee approached the collision with a student\u2019s curiosity. Working with Ng\u2019s three-dimensional landscapes forced him to rethink the very nature of plating. \u201c[Ng&#8217;s] medium is space, design, and three-dimensional landscapes. The landscape that he did is very interesting because it is three-dimensional, and plates are usually flat or it\u2019s a bowl,\u201d Lee noted. \u201cTo be able to plate on something that\u2019s sculptural three-dimensional is very interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Kang, he saw his role as providing the \u201cnarrative layers\u201d that people feel rather than see. As he saw it, the collaboration proved that the \u201cblueprint\u201d of an event isn\u2019t always a physical document, but a shared emotional atmosphere. \u201cArchitecture, food, drinks, and music all have their own narratives,\u201d Kang explained. \u201cWhen these come together, people don\u2019t think about each part. They just feel one atmosphere.\u201d It was mixologist Kim who brought a sense of balance to the \u201ccollision\u201d through the concept of his drinks for the evening: Yin and Yang. His contributions, titled \u201cShadow\u201d and \u201cBloom,\u201d were designed to be incomplete on their own, only finding unity when experienced together. \u201cMy drinks are built on this idea\u2026 Individually, they are incomplete \u2014 but together, they become a single narrative,\u201d Kim said, noting that HIS inspiration often came from the \u201cimperfections\u201d found in Kang\u2019s art.\n<\/p>\n<p>As the musical curator, Bull viewed the space as his most formidable partner. In a room defined by precise architectural lines, he treated every surface as a reflection of the sound itself. \u201cThe venue is absolutely a collaborator,\u201d Bull remarked. \u201cThe building listens back\u2026 it\u2019s the sixth collaborator, and probably the most unforgiving one.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\" data-animate=\"slide\" data-slideshow data-loop data-slideshowspeed=\"7000\" data-group-cells=\"1\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"1\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">1 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F03%2F27%2Fedward-lee-otto-ng-halim-kim-eddie-kang-andrew-bull-them-good-party-interview-3.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tim Lee\/Hypebeast<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"2\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">2 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F03%2F27%2Fedward-lee-otto-ng-halim-kim-eddie-kang-andrew-bull-them-good-party-interview-4.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tim Lee\/Hypebeast<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"3\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">3 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F03%2F27%2Fedward-lee-otto-ng-halim-kim-eddie-kang-andrew-bull-them-good-party-interview-5.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tim Lee\/Hypebeast<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"4\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">4 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F03%2F27%2Fedward-lee-otto-ng-halim-kim-eddie-kang-andrew-bull-them-good-party-interview-6.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tim Lee\/Hypebeast<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"5\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">5 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F03%2F27%2Fedward-lee-otto-ng-halim-kim-eddie-kang-andrew-bull-them-good-party-interview-7.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tim Lee\/Hypebeast<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Hypebeast: Every masterpiece, whether a building, a dish, a cocktail, a canvas, or a soundscape, starts with a structural logic. In this five-way collision, how do your individual \u2018blueprints\u2019 overlap to create a single, cohesive atmosphere?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Eddie Kang:<\/strong>I think we all bring our own stories. It\u2019s not only artists who tell stories; architecture, food, drinks, and music all have their own narratives. When these come together, people don\u2019t think about each part. They just feel one atmosphere.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Otto Ng:<\/strong> For me, it\u2019s about celebrating a diversity of talents in the same space. Although we are from different disciplines, the common denominator is the artistic pursuit in our own forms. We aren\u2019t trying to force a single, unified atmosphere. Instead, we\u2019re layering different senses so that when they finally intersect, people can find their own harmony in the chaos\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Halim Kim:<\/strong> Whether it is something we eat and drink, something we see and hear, or even the space we inhabit in this world \u2014\u00a0everything carries its own story. This project was less about aligning around a single, fixed answer, and more about expanding a shared narrative through individual interpretations. We began from the same point, yet translated it through our own languages and sensibilities. And when we came back together, those differences did not clash\u2014they formed a flow. What may seem like divergence on the surface becomes, in fact, a sharper clarity when viewed through sensibility. Everyone involved here operates at a level where understanding and trust do not rely on explanation, but exist naturally within each other\u2019s approach. There was no visible blueprint, yet within each of us there was already a refined internal structure. My role was to translate that flow into the most fluid medium\u2014liquid. In the end, what brought this work together was not a predefined system, but trust. And through that trust, our individual interpretations overlapped into a single, cohesive moment.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Edward Lee:<\/strong> Oh, that\u2019s a big question. I wanted to do something interesting in my field of expertise, so we created sauces. I wanted to think about how food is very temporary. We spend so many hours making beautiful food, and then people eat it in minutes or seconds even. There\u2019s always a temporary nature of food. And unlike most other art, food is here and then it\u2019s gone. So we wanted to kind of celebrate that aspect of it. There\u2019s a bit of an unpredictability and randomness to this experiment as well.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hypebeast: Architecture and Fine Art are built to last decades, while a Chef\u2019s sculpture, a Mixologist\u2019s drink, and a DJ\u2019s set are designed to be consumed in the moment. How does the \u201cpermanent\u201d space change the way we experience these ephemeral performances?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kang:<\/strong>The space gives everything a strong background. M+ has a clear identity, so whatever happens inside feels more focused and meaningful. It helps connect all the different elements together.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ng: <\/strong>M+ itself is an ever-evolving museum. Every time I visit, it feels completely new\u2014the light shifts from day to night, the exhibitions rotate, and the crowd\u2019s energy changes the vibe.\n<\/p>\n<p>Nothing is essentially permanent, not even architecture\u2013the experience can be different during summer and winter. Everything we experience today can only be experienced once, so it really makes me think about how to bring out the best in this collaboration.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kim:<\/strong> Architecture and art may appear permanent, but ultimately they exist as emotions translated through the viewer. And those emotions are neither identical nor fixed. Depending on who experiences them, when, and under what conditions, the same work can be remembered in entirely different ways. A cocktail is no different. The glass empties, the liquid disappears\u2014but what remains is not simply a substance, but a feeling. That feeling lingers in the body through aroma, temperature, and texture. When something that appears permanent yet remains fluid meets something that is momentary yet deeply lasting, the entire experience becomes more dynamic. I hope that everyone who enters this space can move freely within this current of sensations.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lee:<\/strong> A restaurant is a very, very precise and curated space. Any you go into a new environment like this, it\u2019s not my restaurant, you know? The lighting is different, the temperature is different, the noise level is different \u2014 I usually don\u2019t cook in a environment like this, which is kind of a nightclub, so it\u2019s all very different. At the end of the day, I\u2019m a chef, and I can cook in any environment, but it\u2019s interesting to see how all of it affects the end result, which is what the customers think of it.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hypebeast: This venue is defined by its sharp lines and cultural weight. How did this specific architectural environment influence the way the sculpture was built, the art was drawn, the drinks were shaken, and the music was programmed? Is the venue the sixth collaborator?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kang:<\/strong> Yes, I think so. The space has its own character; it affects how we place things, how people move, and how the whole experience feels. So it feels like we are working with the venue as well.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ng: <\/strong> Architecture is not just about the structure, but also the context. M+ is surrounded by the iconic harbour, which has been the muse for a number of my projects at LAAB, including the Harbour Plate this time.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bull:<\/strong> The venue is absolutely a collaborator. It dictates constraints, and constraints are what shape good decisions.\n<\/p>\n<p>The sharp lines and scale at M+ push you toward precision. There\u2019s less room for chaos unless it\u2019s controlled. I programmed these sets with more defined transitions, cleaner EQ work, and a focus on spatial sound in mind\u2014how things move across the room, not just through time.\n<\/p>\n<p>As the \u201cMusical Curator\u201d you are not just \u201cplaying to people\u201d; you\u2019re playing to surfaces, volumes, reflections. The building listens back. So yes, it\u2019s the sixth collaborator, and probably the most unforgiving one. Lucky for us we are at the fabulous new M+ AGATE restaurant space which is carpeted and acoustically warm, so it\u2019s all good!\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kim:<\/strong> This space, especially Eddie Kang\u2019s work, was a major source of inspiration. What I first felt was a narrative of life \u2014 one that becomes clearer precisely through its imperfections. His work, the space, and all the elements gathered here seemed to speak the same language. So rather than creating a single, self-contained drink, I chose a structure that is only complete when two elements come together. Yin and Yang \u2014\u00a0a concept deeply rooted in Korean and Eastern philosophy. The tension between imbalance, and the eventual flow into unity. My drinks are built on this idea. Yin is expressed as \u201cShadow,\u201d and Yang as \u201cBloom.\u201d But no bloom exists without shadow. These two drinks exist in symbiosis. Individually, they are incomplete \u2014\u00a0but together, they become a single narrative.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\"

Ng<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Hypebeast: If you had to translate one another\u2019s work into your own medium, what would it look like?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kang:<\/strong> I would paint something warm and simple. Soft colors, gentle layers, and maybe one small surprising detail. Something comforting, but also a little playful.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lee:<\/strong> They\u2019re all very different. Otto is the one that I worked closely with. His medium is space, design, and three-dimensional landscapes. The landscape that he did is very interesting because it is three-dimensional, and plates are usually flat or it\u2019s a bowl. To be able to plate on something that\u2019s sculptural three-dimensional is very interesting.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hypebeast: Chef, a question for you. Do you have a favorite dish that you really enjoyed consuming recently?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Lee:<\/strong> Myself? No, I eat everything under the sun. I\u2019m looking forward to eating a lot of dim sum in Hong Kong while I\u2019m here. Although I\u2019m a chef, I\u2019m also still a student of food, so I\u2019m always trying new things, trying new recipes, trying new restaurants. It\u2019s very rare that I eat the same thing twice.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hypebeast: Final question for you all. By stepping out of your silos and into this five-way collision, what is one thing you\u2019ve learned about your own craft from observing a discipline so different from your own?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kang:<\/strong> I learned that emotion can be created in many different ways.\n<\/p>\n<p>From the chef, I felt the power of a strong moment.\n<\/p>\n<p>From the mixologist, the importance of small details.\n<\/p>\n<p>From the architect, how space and scale affect experience.\n<\/p>\n<p>From the DJ, how quickly energy can change.\n<\/p>\n<p>It made me think about being more present in my own work.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ng: <\/strong> Usually, when I work with a chef, like how we worked with Anh Sung Jae for Mosu, I\u2019m designing the restaurant \u2014 the space at large, right down to the tables and the lighting. But this time, I\u2019m stepping completely out of my comfort zone to design the plate itself. It\u2019s a much more intimate encounter with the chef\u2019s actual creation. I had to literally imagine how Edward Lee would glide his sauces across the surface, and how the curvature of my contours could complement his movements to create one harmonious presentation.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bull:<\/strong> I\u2019ve learned to think less about dominance and more about coexistence. In a club, the DJ often drives everything. In this context, you\u2019re one layer in a larger system. Watching the other disciplines, especially the precision in architecture and the restraint in fine art, reinforced the idea that subtraction is as important as addition. Not every moment needs to peak. Sometimes holding back creates more impact across the whole experience. It\u2019s made me more deliberate \u2014\u00a0less about playing more, and more about placing the right thing at the exact right moment.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kim:<\/strong> It was an honor to be part of a project alongside such exceptional individuals from different fields. Hong Kong is also a city I deeply love\u2014a place where different cultures and sensibilities naturally coexist, which made it even more fitting for this collaboration. Before being a bartender, I am someone who loves taste, style, music, art, people, and the world itself. Through my work, being able to meet people from different disciplines and share a common sensibility within a single project is deeply meaningful to me. This experience expands my world. It goes beyond simply making drinks behind a bar\u2014it opens new ways of seeing, for both myself and those who experience it. In the end, I was reminded that truly meaningful work is not explained \u2014\u00a0it is felt.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lee:<\/strong> Everyone approaches their work seriously, and they have a focus and a process. But I think what most people don\u2019t see is the hours of work that go into it behind the scenes. It was very eye opening to see how many hours, how much prep work goes into creating everything, including the food. I take my work very seriously, and they take their work very seriously. I love seeing the passion and the work ethic that goes into their craft, because it\u2019s the same that I bring to mine. It\u2019s a lot of mutual respect and admiration for the other artists.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6704038\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>The A-Z&#8217;s of Active NBA and WNBA Players&#8217; Signature Shoes: 2026 Edition\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6703923\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>The &#8216;Ghost in the Shell&#8217; x atmos x Reebok Instapump Fury 94 Is a Cybernetic Upgrade to This Week&#8217;s Best Footwear Drops\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6703502\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Michelin-Starred Udatsu Sushi Lineage Continues With New HISASHI SUSHI in Omotesando\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-email-signup-wrapper impression-tracker\">\n<h3>We got you covered.

Fusing the worlds of art, food, mixology, architecture, and music, the evening brought together five masters of their respective crafts: Chef Edward Lee, architect Otto Ng, artist Eddie Kang, mixologist Halim Kim, and DJ Andrew Bull. The goal wasn\u2019t only a collaboration but a \u201ccollision\u201d \u2014 an experiment where the boundaries between permanent architecture and ephemeral consumption were blurred. The result? A stunning, edible centerpiece co-curated by Lee and Ng, which saw guests enjoy an intricate way to consume a meal.<\/p>\n<p>For Otto Ng of LAAB, this project was about stepping out of the \u201clarge-scale\u201d comfort zone. While he usually designs entire restaurants, this time he shrunk his focus to the palm of a hand, creating the Harbour Plate \u2014 a 12-foot sculptural vessel inspired by the iconic Victoria Harbour. \u201cI had to literally imagine how Edward Lee would glide his sauces across the surface,\u201d Ng shared to Hypebeast, \u201cand how the curvature of my contours could complement his movements to create one harmonious presentation.\u201d Meanwhile, Chef Lee approached the collision with a student\u2019s curiosity. Working with Ng\u2019s three-dimensional landscapes forced him to rethink the very nature of plating. \u201c[Ng&#8217;s] medium is space, design, and three-dimensional landscapes. The landscape that he did is very interesting because it is three-dimensional, and plates are usually flat or it\u2019s a bowl,\u201d Lee noted. \u201cTo be able to plate on something that\u2019s sculptural three-dimensional is very interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Kang, he saw his role as providing the \u201cnarrative layers\u201d that people feel rather than see. As he saw it, the collaboration proved that the \u201cblueprint\u201d of an event isn\u2019t always a physical document, but a shared emotional atmosphere. \u201cArchitecture, food, drinks, and music all have their own narratives,\u201d Kang explained. \u201cWhen these come together, people don\u2019t think about each part. They just feel one atmosphere.\u201d It was mixologist Kim who brought a sense of balance to the \u201ccollision\u201d through the concept of his drinks for the evening: Yin and Yang. His contributions, titled \u201cShadow\u201d and \u201cBloom,\u201d were designed to be incomplete on their own, only finding unity when experienced together. \u201cMy drinks are built on this idea\u2026 Individually, they are incomplete \u2014 but together, they become a single narrative,\u201d Kim said, noting that HIS inspiration often came from the \u201cimperfections\u201d found in Kang\u2019s art.\n<\/p>\n<p>As the musical curator, Bull viewed the space as his most formidable partner. In a room defined by precise architectural lines, he treated every surface as a reflection of the sound itself. \u201cThe venue is absolutely a collaborator,\u201d Bull remarked. \u201cThe building listens back\u2026 it\u2019s the sixth collaborator, and probably the most unforgiving one.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\" data-animate=\"slide\" data-slideshow data-loop data-slideshowspeed=\"7000\" data-group-cells=\"1\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"1\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">1 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F03%2F27%2Fedward-lee-otto-ng-halim-kim-eddie-kang-andrew-bull-them-good-party-interview-3.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tim Lee\/Hypebeast<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"2\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">2 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F03%2F27%2Fedward-lee-otto-ng-halim-kim-eddie-kang-andrew-bull-them-good-party-interview-4.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tim Lee\/Hypebeast<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"3\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">3 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F03%2F27%2Fedward-lee-otto-ng-halim-kim-eddie-kang-andrew-bull-them-good-party-interview-5.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tim Lee\/Hypebeast<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"4\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">4 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F03%2F27%2Fedward-lee-otto-ng-halim-kim-eddie-kang-andrew-bull-them-good-party-interview-6.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tim Lee\/Hypebeast<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"5\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">5 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F03%2F27%2Fedward-lee-otto-ng-halim-kim-eddie-kang-andrew-bull-them-good-party-interview-7.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tim Lee\/Hypebeast<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Hypebeast: Every masterpiece, whether a building, a dish, a cocktail, a canvas, or a soundscape, starts with a structural logic. In this five-way collision, how do your individual \u2018blueprints\u2019 overlap to create a single, cohesive atmosphere?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Eddie Kang:<\/strong>I think we all bring our own stories. It\u2019s not only artists who tell stories; architecture, food, drinks, and music all have their own narratives. When these come together, people don\u2019t think about each part. They just feel one atmosphere.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Otto Ng:<\/strong> For me, it\u2019s about celebrating a diversity of talents in the same space. Although we are from different disciplines, the common denominator is the artistic pursuit in our own forms. We aren\u2019t trying to force a single, unified atmosphere. Instead, we\u2019re layering different senses so that when they finally intersect, people can find their own harmony in the chaos\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Halim Kim:<\/strong> Whether it is something we eat and drink, something we see and hear, or even the space we inhabit in this world \u2014\u00a0everything carries its own story. This project was less about aligning around a single, fixed answer, and more about expanding a shared narrative through individual interpretations. We began from the same point, yet translated it through our own languages and sensibilities. And when we came back together, those differences did not clash\u2014they formed a flow. What may seem like divergence on the surface becomes, in fact, a sharper clarity when viewed through sensibility. Everyone involved here operates at a level where understanding and trust do not rely on explanation, but exist naturally within each other\u2019s approach. There was no visible blueprint, yet within each of us there was already a refined internal structure. My role was to translate that flow into the most fluid medium\u2014liquid. In the end, what brought this work together was not a predefined system, but trust. And through that trust, our individual interpretations overlapped into a single, cohesive moment.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Edward Lee:<\/strong> Oh, that\u2019s a big question. I wanted to do something interesting in my field of expertise, so we created sauces. I wanted to think about how food is very temporary. We spend so many hours making beautiful food, and then people eat it in minutes or seconds even. There\u2019s always a temporary nature of food. And unlike most other art, food is here and then it\u2019s gone. So we wanted to kind of celebrate that aspect of it. There\u2019s a bit of an unpredictability and randomness to this experiment as well.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hypebeast: Architecture and Fine Art are built to last decades, while a Chef\u2019s sculpture, a Mixologist\u2019s drink, and a DJ\u2019s set are designed to be consumed in the moment. How does the \u201cpermanent\u201d space change the way we experience these ephemeral performances?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kang:<\/strong>The space gives everything a strong background. M+ has a clear identity, so whatever happens inside feels more focused and meaningful. It helps connect all the different elements together.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ng: <\/strong>M+ itself is an ever-evolving museum. Every time I visit, it feels completely new\u2014the light shifts from day to night, the exhibitions rotate, and the crowd\u2019s energy changes the vibe.\n<\/p>\n<p>Nothing is essentially permanent, not even architecture\u2013the experience can be different during summer and winter. Everything we experience today can only be experienced once, so it really makes me think about how to bring out the best in this collaboration.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kim:<\/strong> Architecture and art may appear permanent, but ultimately they exist as emotions translated through the viewer. And those emotions are neither identical nor fixed. Depending on who experiences them, when, and under what conditions, the same work can be remembered in entirely different ways. A cocktail is no different. The glass empties, the liquid disappears\u2014but what remains is not simply a substance, but a feeling. That feeling lingers in the body through aroma, temperature, and texture. When something that appears permanent yet remains fluid meets something that is momentary yet deeply lasting, the entire experience becomes more dynamic. I hope that everyone who enters this space can move freely within this current of sensations.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lee:<\/strong> A restaurant is a very, very precise and curated space. Any you go into a new environment like this, it\u2019s not my restaurant, you know? The lighting is different, the temperature is different, the noise level is different \u2014 I usually don\u2019t cook in a environment like this, which is kind of a nightclub, so it\u2019s all very different. At the end of the day, I\u2019m a chef, and I can cook in any environment, but it\u2019s interesting to see how all of it affects the end result, which is what the customers think of it.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hypebeast: This venue is defined by its sharp lines and cultural weight. How did this specific architectural environment influence the way the sculpture was built, the art was drawn, the drinks were shaken, and the music was programmed? Is the venue the sixth collaborator?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kang:<\/strong> Yes, I think so. The space has its own character; it affects how we place things, how people move, and how the whole experience feels. So it feels like we are working with the venue as well.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ng: <\/strong> Architecture is not just about the structure, but also the context. M+ is surrounded by the iconic harbour, which has been the muse for a number of my projects at LAAB, including the Harbour Plate this time.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bull:<\/strong> The venue is absolutely a collaborator. It dictates constraints, and constraints are what shape good decisions.\n<\/p>\n<p>The sharp lines and scale at M+ push you toward precision. There\u2019s less room for chaos unless it\u2019s controlled. I programmed these sets with more defined transitions, cleaner EQ work, and a focus on spatial sound in mind\u2014how things move across the room, not just through time.\n<\/p>\n<p>As the \u201cMusical Curator\u201d you are not just \u201cplaying to people\u201d; you\u2019re playing to surfaces, volumes, reflections. The building listens back. So yes, it\u2019s the sixth collaborator, and probably the most unforgiving one. Lucky for us we are at the fabulous new M+ AGATE restaurant space which is carpeted and acoustically warm, so it\u2019s all good!\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kim:<\/strong> This space, especially Eddie Kang\u2019s work, was a major source of inspiration. What I first felt was a narrative of life \u2014 one that becomes clearer precisely through its imperfections. His work, the space, and all the elements gathered here seemed to speak the same language. So rather than creating a single, self-contained drink, I chose a structure that is only complete when two elements come together. Yin and Yang \u2014\u00a0a concept deeply rooted in Korean and Eastern philosophy. The tension between imbalance, and the eventual flow into unity. My drinks are built on this idea. Yin is expressed as \u201cShadow,\u201d and Yang as \u201cBloom.\u201d But no bloom exists without shadow. These two drinks exist in symbiosis. Individually, they are incomplete \u2014\u00a0but together, they become a single narrative.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\"

Ng<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Hypebeast: If you had to translate one another\u2019s work into your own medium, what would it look like?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kang:<\/strong> I would paint something warm and simple. Soft colors, gentle layers, and maybe one small surprising detail. Something comforting, but also a little playful.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lee:<\/strong> They\u2019re all very different. Otto is the one that I worked closely with. His medium is space, design, and three-dimensional landscapes. The landscape that he did is very interesting because it is three-dimensional, and plates are usually flat or it\u2019s a bowl. To be able to plate on something that\u2019s sculptural three-dimensional is very interesting.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hypebeast: Chef, a question for you. Do you have a favorite dish that you really enjoyed consuming recently?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Lee:<\/strong> Myself? No, I eat everything under the sun. I\u2019m looking forward to eating a lot of dim sum in Hong Kong while I\u2019m here. Although I\u2019m a chef, I\u2019m also still a student of food, so I\u2019m always trying new things, trying new recipes, trying new restaurants. It\u2019s very rare that I eat the same thing twice.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hypebeast: Final question for you all. By stepping out of your silos and into this five-way collision, what is one thing you\u2019ve learned about your own craft from observing a discipline so different from your own?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kang:<\/strong> I learned that emotion can be created in many different ways.\n<\/p>\n<p>From the chef, I felt the power of a strong moment.\n<\/p>\n<p>From the mixologist, the importance of small details.\n<\/p>\n<p>From the architect, how space and scale affect experience.\n<\/p>\n<p>From the DJ, how quickly energy can change.\n<\/p>\n<p>It made me think about being more present in my own work.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ng: <\/strong> Usually, when I work with a chef, like how we worked with Anh Sung Jae for Mosu, I\u2019m designing the restaurant \u2014 the space at large, right down to the tables and the lighting. But this time, I\u2019m stepping completely out of my comfort zone to design the plate itself. It\u2019s a much more intimate encounter with the chef\u2019s actual creation. I had to literally imagine how Edward Lee would glide his sauces across the surface, and how the curvature of my contours could complement his movements to create one harmonious presentation.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bull:<\/strong> I\u2019ve learned to think less about dominance and more about coexistence. In a club, the DJ often drives everything. In this context, you\u2019re one layer in a larger system. Watching the other disciplines, especially the precision in architecture and the restraint in fine art, reinforced the idea that subtraction is as important as addition. Not every moment needs to peak. Sometimes holding back creates more impact across the whole experience. It\u2019s made me more deliberate \u2014\u00a0less about playing more, and more about placing the right thing at the exact right moment.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kim:<\/strong> It was an honor to be part of a project alongside such exceptional individuals from different fields. Hong Kong is also a city I deeply love\u2014a place where different cultures and sensibilities naturally coexist, which made it even more fitting for this collaboration. Before being a bartender, I am someone who loves taste, style, music, art, people, and the world itself. Through my work, being able to meet people from different disciplines and share a common sensibility within a single project is deeply meaningful to me. This experience expands my world. It goes beyond simply making drinks behind a bar\u2014it opens new ways of seeing, for both myself and those who experience it. In the end, I was reminded that truly meaningful work is not explained \u2014\u00a0it is felt.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lee:<\/strong> Everyone approaches their work seriously, and they have a focus and a process. But I think what most people don\u2019t see is the hours of work that go into it behind the scenes. It was very eye opening to see how many hours, how much prep work goes into creating everything, including the food. I take my work very seriously, and they take their work very seriously. I love seeing the passion and the work ethic that goes into their craft, because it\u2019s the same that I bring to mine. It\u2019s a lot of mutual respect and admiration for the other artists.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6704038\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>The A-Z&#8217;s of Active NBA and WNBA Players&#8217; Signature Shoes: 2026 Edition\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6703923\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>The &#8216;Ghost in the Shell&#8217; x atmos x Reebok Instapump Fury 94 Is a Cybernetic Upgrade to This Week&#8217;s Best Footwear Drops\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6703502\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Michelin-Starred Udatsu Sushi Lineage Continues With New HISASHI SUSHI in Omotesando\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-email-signup-wrapper impression-tracker\">\n<h3>We got you covered.

Fusing the worlds of art, food, mixology, architecture, and music, the evening brought together five masters of their respective crafts: Chef Edward Lee, architect Otto Ng, artist Eddie Kang, mixologist Halim Kim, and DJ Andrew Bull. The goal wasn\u2019t only a collaboration but a \u201ccollision\u201d \u2014 an experiment where the boundaries between permanent architecture and ephemeral consumption were blurred. The result? A stunning, edible centerpiece co-curated by Lee and Ng, which saw guests enjoy an intricate way to consume a meal.<\/p>\n<p>For Otto Ng of LAAB, this project was about stepping out of the \u201clarge-scale\u201d comfort zone. While he usually designs entire restaurants, this time he shrunk his focus to the palm of a hand, creating the Harbour Plate \u2014 a 12-foot sculptural vessel inspired by the iconic Victoria Harbour. \u201cI had to literally imagine how Edward Lee would glide his sauces across the surface,\u201d Ng shared to Hypebeast, \u201cand how the curvature of my contours could complement his movements to create one harmonious presentation.\u201d Meanwhile, Chef Lee approached the collision with a student\u2019s curiosity. Working with Ng\u2019s three-dimensional landscapes forced him to rethink the very nature of plating. \u201c[Ng&#8217;s] medium is space, design, and three-dimensional landscapes. The landscape that he did is very interesting because it is three-dimensional, and plates are usually flat or it\u2019s a bowl,\u201d Lee noted. \u201cTo be able to plate on something that\u2019s sculptural three-dimensional is very interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Kang, he saw his role as providing the \u201cnarrative layers\u201d that people feel rather than see. As he saw it, the collaboration proved that the \u201cblueprint\u201d of an event isn\u2019t always a physical document, but a shared emotional atmosphere. \u201cArchitecture, food, drinks, and music all have their own narratives,\u201d Kang explained. \u201cWhen these come together, people don\u2019t think about each part. They just feel one atmosphere.\u201d It was mixologist Kim who brought a sense of balance to the \u201ccollision\u201d through the concept of his drinks for the evening: Yin and Yang. His contributions, titled \u201cShadow\u201d and \u201cBloom,\u201d were designed to be incomplete on their own, only finding unity when experienced together. \u201cMy drinks are built on this idea\u2026 Individually, they are incomplete \u2014 but together, they become a single narrative,\u201d Kim said, noting that HIS inspiration often came from the \u201cimperfections\u201d found in Kang\u2019s art.\n<\/p>\n<p>As the musical curator, Bull viewed the space as his most formidable partner. In a room defined by precise architectural lines, he treated every surface as a reflection of the sound itself. \u201cThe venue is absolutely a collaborator,\u201d Bull remarked. \u201cThe building listens back\u2026 it\u2019s the sixth collaborator, and probably the most unforgiving one.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\" data-animate=\"slide\" data-slideshow data-loop data-slideshowspeed=\"7000\" data-group-cells=\"1\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"1\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">1 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F03%2F27%2Fedward-lee-otto-ng-halim-kim-eddie-kang-andrew-bull-them-good-party-interview-3.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tim Lee\/Hypebeast<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"2\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">2 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F03%2F27%2Fedward-lee-otto-ng-halim-kim-eddie-kang-andrew-bull-them-good-party-interview-4.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tim Lee\/Hypebeast<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"3\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">3 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F03%2F27%2Fedward-lee-otto-ng-halim-kim-eddie-kang-andrew-bull-them-good-party-interview-5.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tim Lee\/Hypebeast<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"4\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">4 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F03%2F27%2Fedward-lee-otto-ng-halim-kim-eddie-kang-andrew-bull-them-good-party-interview-6.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tim Lee\/Hypebeast<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"5\"><span class=\"gallery-image-index\"><span class=\"image-index\">5 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F03%2F27%2Fedward-lee-otto-ng-halim-kim-eddie-kang-andrew-bull-them-good-party-interview-7.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"credit\">Tim Lee\/Hypebeast<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Hypebeast: Every masterpiece, whether a building, a dish, a cocktail, a canvas, or a soundscape, starts with a structural logic. In this five-way collision, how do your individual \u2018blueprints\u2019 overlap to create a single, cohesive atmosphere?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Eddie Kang:<\/strong>I think we all bring our own stories. It\u2019s not only artists who tell stories; architecture, food, drinks, and music all have their own narratives. When these come together, people don\u2019t think about each part. They just feel one atmosphere.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Otto Ng:<\/strong> For me, it\u2019s about celebrating a diversity of talents in the same space. Although we are from different disciplines, the common denominator is the artistic pursuit in our own forms. We aren\u2019t trying to force a single, unified atmosphere. Instead, we\u2019re layering different senses so that when they finally intersect, people can find their own harmony in the chaos\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Halim Kim:<\/strong> Whether it is something we eat and drink, something we see and hear, or even the space we inhabit in this world \u2014\u00a0everything carries its own story. This project was less about aligning around a single, fixed answer, and more about expanding a shared narrative through individual interpretations. We began from the same point, yet translated it through our own languages and sensibilities. And when we came back together, those differences did not clash\u2014they formed a flow. What may seem like divergence on the surface becomes, in fact, a sharper clarity when viewed through sensibility. Everyone involved here operates at a level where understanding and trust do not rely on explanation, but exist naturally within each other\u2019s approach. There was no visible blueprint, yet within each of us there was already a refined internal structure. My role was to translate that flow into the most fluid medium\u2014liquid. In the end, what brought this work together was not a predefined system, but trust. And through that trust, our individual interpretations overlapped into a single, cohesive moment.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Edward Lee:<\/strong> Oh, that\u2019s a big question. I wanted to do something interesting in my field of expertise, so we created sauces. I wanted to think about how food is very temporary. We spend so many hours making beautiful food, and then people eat it in minutes or seconds even. There\u2019s always a temporary nature of food. And unlike most other art, food is here and then it\u2019s gone. So we wanted to kind of celebrate that aspect of it. There\u2019s a bit of an unpredictability and randomness to this experiment as well.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hypebeast: Architecture and Fine Art are built to last decades, while a Chef\u2019s sculpture, a Mixologist\u2019s drink, and a DJ\u2019s set are designed to be consumed in the moment. How does the \u201cpermanent\u201d space change the way we experience these ephemeral performances?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kang:<\/strong>The space gives everything a strong background. M+ has a clear identity, so whatever happens inside feels more focused and meaningful. It helps connect all the different elements together.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ng: <\/strong>M+ itself is an ever-evolving museum. Every time I visit, it feels completely new\u2014the light shifts from day to night, the exhibitions rotate, and the crowd\u2019s energy changes the vibe.\n<\/p>\n<p>Nothing is essentially permanent, not even architecture\u2013the experience can be different during summer and winter. Everything we experience today can only be experienced once, so it really makes me think about how to bring out the best in this collaboration.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kim:<\/strong> Architecture and art may appear permanent, but ultimately they exist as emotions translated through the viewer. And those emotions are neither identical nor fixed. Depending on who experiences them, when, and under what conditions, the same work can be remembered in entirely different ways. A cocktail is no different. The glass empties, the liquid disappears\u2014but what remains is not simply a substance, but a feeling. That feeling lingers in the body through aroma, temperature, and texture. When something that appears permanent yet remains fluid meets something that is momentary yet deeply lasting, the entire experience becomes more dynamic. I hope that everyone who enters this space can move freely within this current of sensations.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lee:<\/strong> A restaurant is a very, very precise and curated space. Any you go into a new environment like this, it\u2019s not my restaurant, you know? The lighting is different, the temperature is different, the noise level is different \u2014 I usually don\u2019t cook in a environment like this, which is kind of a nightclub, so it\u2019s all very different. At the end of the day, I\u2019m a chef, and I can cook in any environment, but it\u2019s interesting to see how all of it affects the end result, which is what the customers think of it.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hypebeast: This venue is defined by its sharp lines and cultural weight. How did this specific architectural environment influence the way the sculpture was built, the art was drawn, the drinks were shaken, and the music was programmed? Is the venue the sixth collaborator?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kang:<\/strong> Yes, I think so. The space has its own character; it affects how we place things, how people move, and how the whole experience feels. So it feels like we are working with the venue as well.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ng: <\/strong> Architecture is not just about the structure, but also the context. M+ is surrounded by the iconic harbour, which has been the muse for a number of my projects at LAAB, including the Harbour Plate this time.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bull:<\/strong> The venue is absolutely a collaborator. It dictates constraints, and constraints are what shape good decisions.\n<\/p>\n<p>The sharp lines and scale at M+ push you toward precision. There\u2019s less room for chaos unless it\u2019s controlled. I programmed these sets with more defined transitions, cleaner EQ work, and a focus on spatial sound in mind\u2014how things move across the room, not just through time.\n<\/p>\n<p>As the \u201cMusical Curator\u201d you are not just \u201cplaying to people\u201d; you\u2019re playing to surfaces, volumes, reflections. The building listens back. So yes, it\u2019s the sixth collaborator, and probably the most unforgiving one. Lucky for us we are at the fabulous new M+ AGATE restaurant space which is carpeted and acoustically warm, so it\u2019s all good!\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kim:<\/strong> This space, especially Eddie Kang\u2019s work, was a major source of inspiration. What I first felt was a narrative of life \u2014 one that becomes clearer precisely through its imperfections. His work, the space, and all the elements gathered here seemed to speak the same language. So rather than creating a single, self-contained drink, I chose a structure that is only complete when two elements come together. Yin and Yang \u2014\u00a0a concept deeply rooted in Korean and Eastern philosophy. The tension between imbalance, and the eventual flow into unity. My drinks are built on this idea. Yin is expressed as \u201cShadow,\u201d and Yang as \u201cBloom.\u201d But no bloom exists without shadow. These two drinks exist in symbiosis. Individually, they are incomplete \u2014\u00a0but together, they become a single narrative.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\"

Ng<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Hypebeast: If you had to translate one another\u2019s work into your own medium, what would it look like?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kang:<\/strong> I would paint something warm and simple. Soft colors, gentle layers, and maybe one small surprising detail. Something comforting, but also a little playful.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lee:<\/strong> They\u2019re all very different. Otto is the one that I worked closely with. His medium is space, design, and three-dimensional landscapes. The landscape that he did is very interesting because it is three-dimensional, and plates are usually flat or it\u2019s a bowl. To be able to plate on something that\u2019s sculptural three-dimensional is very interesting.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hypebeast: Chef, a question for you. Do you have a favorite dish that you really enjoyed consuming recently?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Lee:<\/strong> Myself? No, I eat everything under the sun. I\u2019m looking forward to eating a lot of dim sum in Hong Kong while I\u2019m here. Although I\u2019m a chef, I\u2019m also still a student of food, so I\u2019m always trying new things, trying new recipes, trying new restaurants. It\u2019s very rare that I eat the same thing twice.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hypebeast: Final question for you all. By stepping out of your silos and into this five-way collision, what is one thing you\u2019ve learned about your own craft from observing a discipline so different from your own?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kang:<\/strong> I learned that emotion can be created in many different ways.\n<\/p>\n<p>From the chef, I felt the power of a strong moment.\n<\/p>\n<p>From the mixologist, the importance of small details.\n<\/p>\n<p>From the architect, how space and scale affect experience.\n<\/p>\n<p>From the DJ, how quickly energy can change.\n<\/p>\n<p>It made me think about being more present in my own work.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ng: <\/strong> Usually, when I work with a chef, like how we worked with Anh Sung Jae for Mosu, I\u2019m designing the restaurant \u2014 the space at large, right down to the tables and the lighting. But this time, I\u2019m stepping completely out of my comfort zone to design the plate itself. It\u2019s a much more intimate encounter with the chef\u2019s actual creation. I had to literally imagine how Edward Lee would glide his sauces across the surface, and how the curvature of my contours could complement his movements to create one harmonious presentation.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bull:<\/strong> I\u2019ve learned to think less about dominance and more about coexistence. In a club, the DJ often drives everything. In this context, you\u2019re one layer in a larger system. Watching the other disciplines, especially the precision in architecture and the restraint in fine art, reinforced the idea that subtraction is as important as addition. Not every moment needs to peak. Sometimes holding back creates more impact across the whole experience. It\u2019s made me more deliberate \u2014\u00a0less about playing more, and more about placing the right thing at the exact right moment.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kim:<\/strong> It was an honor to be part of a project alongside such exceptional individuals from different fields. Hong Kong is also a city I deeply love\u2014a place where different cultures and sensibilities naturally coexist, which made it even more fitting for this collaboration. Before being a bartender, I am someone who loves taste, style, music, art, people, and the world itself. Through my work, being able to meet people from different disciplines and share a common sensibility within a single project is deeply meaningful to me. This experience expands my world. It goes beyond simply making drinks behind a bar\u2014it opens new ways of seeing, for both myself and those who experience it. In the end, I was reminded that truly meaningful work is not explained \u2014\u00a0it is felt.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lee:<\/strong> Everyone approaches their work seriously, and they have a focus and a process. But I think what most people don\u2019t see is the hours of work that go into it behind the scenes. It was very eye opening to see how many hours, how much prep work goes into creating everything, including the food. I take my work very seriously, and they take their work very seriously. I love seeing the passion and the work ethic that goes into their craft, because it\u2019s the same that I bring to mine. It\u2019s a lot of mutual respect and admiration for the other artists.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-body-author d-block d-lg-none\">\n<hr class=\"sidebar-divider share-divider\">\n<h6>Text By<\/h6>\n<p><span class=\"author-name\">Sophie Caraan<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-body-share d-block d-lg-none\">\n<hr class=\"sidebar-divider\">\n<h6>Share this article<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-body-content-tags\">\n<div class=\"body collapsed\">\n<p>    Edward LeeOtto NgEddie KangAndrew BullHalim Kim\n                                                            <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/2026\/3\/edward-lee-otto-ng-halim-kim-eddie-kang-andrew-bull-them-good-party-interview&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F03%2F27%2Fedward-lee-otto-ng-halim-kim-eddie-kang-andrew-bull-them-good-party-interview-tw-a.jpg?w=1080&amp;cbr=1&amp;q=90&amp;fit=max&#8221;] Food &amp; Beverage Mar 27, 2026 387 Views 0\u00a0Comments Comments Save Text By Sophie Caraan Share this article Tim Lee\/Hypebeast Food &amp; Beverage Mar 27, 2026 387 Views 0\u00a0Comments Comments Save On the evening of March 25, deep into Hong Kong Art Week 2026, THEM GOOD transformed M+\u2019s AGATE restaurant into a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[226,39],"class_list":["post-1884228","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","tag-crawlmanager","tag-hypebeast-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1884228","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1884228"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1884228\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1884228"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1884228"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1884228"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
