Karoke in Wanchai

The British love the pubs. The Americans love the sports bars. The French are all about the wine and cheese. What really gets a Chinese party going is Karoke. And here in Hong Kong, it is legit.

First, you can't do it unless you stay out til at least 3-4AM, easily. Second, the private rooms are enormous. The "small" room we got can comfortably fit at least 20 people without a problem. Our group of ten seemed very tiny for the room. Third, the drink you consume is whiskey and green tea. Now, it sounds weird but actually the mix is quite good. You can barely taste the whiskey in a mixture that is half and half (very potent). It's also great because you're drinking green tea the whole time, you don't get a hangover.

Lastly, the singing is amazing. There are multiple flat screen TVs. 4 mics for use. high-tech controls. It is built to make the experience as easy as possible. The selection of songs is amazing. There is all the English songs from Lady Gaga to Journey to Bohemian Rapsody. There is also a very wide selection of Japanese, Korean, and Chinese songs.

The best part is it is always a ton of fun here in Asia. No one ever dislike it and it's very reasonably priced for everyone invovled. For 3 bottles of Johnny Walker Black Label and a bucket of beers, it was a little under HK$300 per person. That's 4 hours in a private room with a large quantity of alcohol for less than $50 bucks.
