  "account": "Soho's clandestine 'sul jib' alcohol house Obp plans to close permanently on September 19 after six years of serving foodies and drinkers. Situated in a hidden alley on Old Bailey Street, the casual spot was well-known for its abundance of soju, beer, and Korean cuisine. The eatery's final day of service will be on Saturday, September 19, so patrons are encouraged to visit one last time to indulge in mandu dumplings, their crispy-bottomed ChiBap rice pot, and plenty of soju. Obp's culinary vision was brought to life by chef Junwoo Choi in the kitchen and Daniel Eun behind the drinks. The restaurant operates under Liberty Group, which also owns 11 Westside in Kennedy Town. It is worth noting that just last month, Victoria Park lights up for the first International Lantern Spectacular during the Mid-Autumn Festival, leaving some to hope that other foodie favorites in Hong Kong will not be closing down unexpectedly before the end of the year.",
