The story of two cops dropped by their girlfriends.Cop 223, who swears to fall in love with the first woman that enters the bar in Chungking House where he is drowning his sorrows. Cop 663, who stops off each evening at the Midnight Express take-away in the Lan Kwai Fong district, where the pretty counter girl, Faye, serves him a “Chef’s Salad” destined for his airhostess sweetheart.
“The district around Chungking House held a special appeal for me. Five thousand tourists visit it daily… For me, this overcrowded and unsafe district represents a mini Hong Kong.” (Wong Kar-wai)
