Hong Kong’s Stanley, once packed with tourists, is now dead. What happened?
With summer’s heat dissipating in Hong Kong, I decided to do a country walk last weekend and ended up in Stanley, a coastal neighbourhood in the south of Hong Kong Island. What we found there shocked us. It had been a few years since I visited the area, mostly because it was always packed with tourists. In all previous Stanley outings, hordes of visitors, whether from mainland China or Western countries, packed the side-street market and the main beach promenade. On this recent hike, a trail led...

Life in Macau from a creative lens
Kevin Lai, head mixologist at The St Regis Bar in Macau, is originally from Taiwan. Meng Shu, a glass artist and lecturer who is also based in the city, grew up in mainland China. Inspired by their current home, these two individuals recently combined their talents to create a cocktail and accompanying piece of glass art that represent what Macau means to them as expats – mirroring the way in which parts of the local cultural heritage were shaped over the years by people who came to the port...
How Hong Kong cocktail bars design for service, ergonomics and success
“You can tell in about 30 seconds whether a bar was designed by someone who’s worked a busy shift or by someone who drew a nice picture,” says Nikita Matveev. Ask mixologists what they notice when they walk into a bar, and they won’t mention the menu or the mood board. Matveev, head bartender of Dead Poets and The Old Man, counts the steps – how far bartenders must reach for ice, trash and stock, and whether they’re bumping into each other. Lorenzo Antinori sees light first: how it falls on the...

How Gab Waller sources sold-out luxury for the likes of Hailey Bieber and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
Anyone who’s seen the dreaded words “sold out” while navigating the endless scroll of online shopping – or worse, heard those very same words after hours spent queuing outside a store – should have Gab Waller on speed dial. Where some may see those words for what they are, Waller sees an invitation to dig even deeper to find the coveted item you want, whether it’s the hottest accessory this season – she recently cited Alaïa’s Le Teckel suede clutch and Dior’s Médaillon belt as new must-haves –...
A Hong Kong duplex regains light and space after renovation restores a 5.8-metre ceiling
Holding on to a newspaper cutting for years reminded Sarah and Jeff Lee of whom to contact when the time came to renovate their 3,100 sq ft (288 square metre) 1980s Repulse Bay duplex. Several years ago, designer Peggy Bels answered that call. The couple, who have lived there for two-plus decades, told Bels they admired her work. They described their home as a place where conversation-fuelled dinner parties stretch well into the night and house guests are frequent. How could Bels improve...

Clayface review: DC spin-off delivers a grisly, vengeance-fuelled body-horror thriller
3.5/5 stars From Venom and Morbius to Birds of Prey and The New Mutants, elevating side characters to centre stage in Marvel and DC comic-book adaptations rarely takes flight. Clayface, however, is an exception. Set in the Gotham underworld, the new film features no sign – or even mention – of Batman, but no matter. A grisly but delicious tale of Hollywood excess, this DC thriller is part crime, part horror and certainly not one for the squeamish. Tom Rhys Harries (Suspicion) stars as Matt...

Peruvian tenor Juan Diego Florez on Hong Kong debut, Pavarotti’s regret and singing food
Before Juan Diego Florez became one of the most celebrated opera tenors of his generation, he was on his way to being a pop star. Music was always part of family life. His father, Ruben Florez, was a respected singer of Peruvian criolla folk music; his mother, Maria Teresa Salom, managed a Lima pub with live music. As a boy, Juan Diego Florez would sometimes be asked to stand in and perform with his guitar. That early exposure gave him his first taste of being on stage, and by his teens, he was...
