Your Hong Kong weekend drinks guide for July 31

We're (supposedly) due a calm weekend after this past week's inclement weather – and we can't think of a better way to soldier through the rainy season than with refreshing summer cocktails. This weekend, The Opposites bar has a special array of tea and coffee concoctions, Aperol is partnering on a pop-up with The St. Regis Bar – offering not just the classic Aperol spritz but also the Paper Plane – while new Peel Street venue Sugar King is bringing us the pint-sized best of Cuba. Thursday, July 31 Coffee or Tea? at The Opposites The Opposites, in SoHo, is hosting the third volume of its Coffee or Tea? series. Photo: Handout What: The Opposites looks to answer that age-old question – coffee or tea? – with Plantation Teas and EN Coffee taking over the SoHo bar for the third volume of its Coffee or Tea? series. Co-founders Antonio Lai and Samuel Kwok launched their own coffee and tea cocktails on July 21, but for just one night on Thursday, Nana Chan of Plantation Teas, and Jeremy Yeung and Jason Chan of EN Coffee will step behind the bar to show guests just how powerful an ingredient tea or coffee can be with their signature cocktails.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps movie review – Marvel's original superhero team returns

4/5 stars 'I will eat your planet slowly while your child watches.' So says Galactus, the world-destroying entity – and enemy – of The Fantastic Four in Marvel's latest offering. As lines go, it is one of the better put-downs in Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) history, and Galactus – aka The Devourer of Worlds – is arguably the best villain since Thanos clicked his fingers . All this adds real bite to this big-screen return for the superhero team created by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee. The Fantastic Four: First Steps is a stylish work from director Matt Shakman, who brings the same retro-cool aesthetics to this as he did to the Marvel TV show WandaVision. Play Far superior to the two Fantastic Four films from the early aughts, as well as 2015's previous reboot – all of which First Steps overrides without a thought – this new reboot/restart brings us a whole new cast, one that is destined to become integral to next year's anticipated Avengers: Doomsday. Set on Earth 828, an alternate to our own planet, the film begins with a rapid-fire intro that reveals it has been four years since a quartet of astronauts returned from a space mission, their DNA changed by a cosmic turbulence that has given them superpowers.
