…Now for the bad part, Big Top, it was a Saturday around 5 pm 

First Impressions 

Although the guys at the reception were friendly and asked me where I heard about the place, as soon as I walked in I found it to be a dive.  I don't mind the prying eyes when changing in the locker room, but the narrow corridor to the showers and sauna are too narrow to hang out in. The wet saunas were way too small, the maze was ok but again, you have to see who is going in before you wander in (I know it's par for the course with saunas).  

The so called gym was pathetic, with a bench and hula hoop!! They would be better served turning it into another cruising area.  The lounge area was way too bright and although they had water and a few crackers, certainly no bananas, cake, noodles and you had to ask for a hot coffee cup.  I personally felt uncomfortable holding a mini towel in front of my privates, maybe that's just me. The place just had an old run down feel to it, even though it's supposed to be relatively new.

FuelMix says:  The staff will happily admit that “the gym” is a gimmick.  Actually, Big Top does offer free bananas and cakes too.  Maybe they hadn’t refilled it.  Also on certain days, they offer free noodles or hot dim sum.  They’ll tell you at the Reception when you arrive. 

The Guys 

I don't know what it is, the guys in general had nicer bodies but I finally understood what you meant by the term Fugly! Like I said I don't consider myself an Adonis,  but the guys with lean muscular bodies, their faces were downright hideous, and I don't like to judge looks too much LOL, a few of them looked like Skeletor!  

Even though this is Mong Kok, my cock turned downright soft seeing these guys.  Some of the Asian twinks were chatting each other up.  I sort of fooled around with an OK- looking Asian guy but he had a funky smell and was a bit too aggressive in having me suck his nipples, so I told him I had to shower.  

I hung out a bit, but from the time I came in to leaving there were only about 10 to 12 guys. By the way, all were Asians and no whites. 

The Verdict 

I totally know why they dropped the price to 80 dollars.  There is just NO comparison to the classiness of Alexander.  You get what you pay for.  Although a higher price may be justified in a crappy looking place, the caliber of men in Big Top was flaccid-penis inducing. 

Major disappointment in terms of quality of place and of men.  I felt I had to take a shower when I got home because it had an icky feel to it.

FuelMix says:

The price drop to HK$80.00 is currently valid till 30 November 2011.

You’re correct in pointing out that the corridors to the showers are too narrow to hang out in.  

For some bizarre reason, they recently added more partitions and alcoves in the Dark Area which made it narrower and claustrophobic.  As a result, a customer is now just inches away from a massively bright porn screen that when looked at, blinds the ability to see anything in the Dark Area or outside.

Unlike say, Alexander or Galaxy, where guys regularly come through the door one by one or as buddies, Big Top fills up in spurts. 3 or 4 random guys can show up at once, followed by another 2 or 3 random guys a few minutes later.  It also gets extended periods where nobody is checking in and the people inside are just hanging around.  That’s why the staff go to great lengths to assure customers that guys do show up.

It certainly attracts muscular Asian guys.  Whether they’re good looking is in the eye of the beholder:

• It appears that on Saturdays, the muscular guys show up later in the evening from about 9pm, looking to stay till around 2am the next day.
• They are also around on Sunday afternoons from about 5pm.
• FuelMix also heard that the muscular guys show up around 6pm on weekdays and stay till around 11pm.
• Again, it’s all in the timing which can never be accurately predicted.

On balance, FuelMix is somewhat less thrilled with this place than initially, due mainly to the silly changes in the Dark Area, but is still keeping an open mind.
