Inauthentically Hong Kong: the Disneyfication of cha chaan teng and bing sutt must stop

If you have walked down SoHo in Central lately, your eyes might have been attacked by the flashy crimson facade of a new cha chaan teng (Hong Kong-style diner) on Staunton Street. It is the latest opening in what appears to be something of a cursed space: it was previously home to a short-lived Nordic-style cafe called Moma, and before that Majo Tapas Bar and the California-inspired Big Sur restaurant.

Style Edit: Bonhams’ Amayès Aouli on the art of collecting wine and whisky ahead of Hong Kong sales

Before a bottle reaches the auction room, Amayès Aouli wants to know who chose it. For Bonhams’ global head of Wine & Spirits, a collector’s taste or a winemaker’s convictions help explain what makes a wine worth pursuing. “Before we catalogue a bottle, we want to understand the philosophy and the history of the owner and the collection,” he tells Style. Aouli’s own route into wine began with a desire to see the world. Finance took him to New York, London and Hong Kong before he returned to...

Style Edit: Chow Sang Sang opens new flagship store at The Venetian Macao

The graceful motion of swimming fish might seem an unexpected starting point for a jewellery boutique. At Chow Sang Sang’s new flagship at The Venetian Macao, however, it inspires a design of flowing curves and warm champagne-gold tones, bringing a sense of continuity to the displays and spaces within.
