Crossing Hennessy - Jacky Cheung (2010) - Honolulu Cafe, 176-178 Hennessy Road

Hennessy Road for real this time as Oi-lin's aunt makes her take Loy out for a coffee after he delivers a free dehumdifier to the shop as a gift. This film was quite influential in making this cafe quite popular at the time and it features extensively throughout. I've never been but it looks like it is still around and I hope it remains so. Unfortunately, the Hong Kong Government fails to understand or appreciate the benefit that the local film industry has on tourism. Unless you intend to stay in expensive hotels and part with loads of cash at the (too) many jewelery stores in the city, then you are not really a priority. What a shame.

Anyway, this place also has a website, and several branches it seems, but it's the main site at 176-178 Hennessy Road that features in the film.
