See out ESEA Heritage Month with MilkTea as we celebrate the 30th anniversary of Wong Kar-wai’s beloved Chungking Express. The whiplash, double-pronged Chungking Express is one of the defining works of 1990s cinema and the film that made Wong Kar-wai an instant icon. 

Two heartsick Hong Kong cops (Takeshi Kaneshiro and Tony Leung), both jilted by ex-lovers, cross paths at the Midnight Express take-out restaurant stand, where the ethereal waitress Faye (Faye Wong) works. Anything goes in Wong Kar-wai’s gloriously shot and utterly unexpected charmer, which cemented the sex appeal of its gorgeous stars and forever turned canned pineapple and the Mamas and the Papas’ California Dreamin’ into tokens of romantic longing.

Put on your best blonde wig & shades, cabin crew outfit or police uniform and join us on Monday 30 September at the Charlotte Street Hotel. The booking link will shared on our Instagram channel from 18 September.
