At 52, how Hong Kong skateboarder Julius Brian Siswojo is redefining ageing and longevity

Julius Brian Siswojo is as well known for co-founding Hong Kong’s pioneering hip-hop group 24Herbs as he is for championing skateboarding in the city. Having been “on the deck” – skateboarding, for the uninitiated – since 1988, the 52-year-old is acutely aware of the negative stereotypes associated with the culture: rebellious youths causing trouble in the streets late at night. But Siswojo, who says he does not drink, smoke or touch drugs, stays focused on a healthy lifestyle – not just for...

Cranes spread their wings behind it, while neat towers of shaved ice hold portions of seafood waiting for the pot. For a few minutes, at least, dinner looks almost too carefully arranged to disturb. This is postured hot pot, Chef Ye Hui’s speciality at Enchanté, MGM Macau’s Chinese private-dining restaurant. Ingredients that might...

From Hong Kong to Guangdong, exploring the rich tapestry of Cantonese culinary traditions

The term “Chinese cuisine” is an almost pointless label, encompassing as it does styles of cooking as diverse as Sichuan, Dongbei and Zhejiang, to name but a few. If thinking about a monolithic Chinese cuisine is inappropriate, does the same hold true for Guangdong’s Cantonese cuisine? Consider chicken. A classic Hong Kong-style preparation might see white-cut chicken cooked in a simmering aromatic stock so the meat is gently poached and the skin adopts a gelatinous layer. Further up the Pearl...

Hong Kong-born, London-based designer Katie Ko wanted to be a ballet dancer. What changed?

London-based fashion designer Katie Ko blurs the line between fashion and fine art, turning unconventional materials such as bamboo strips and preserved flowers into wearable narratives that seemingly defy gravity. Taffeta ruffles and feather-adorned layers explode from Ko’s silk bodices while other pieces evoke the elegance of porcelain. The 26-year-old also pays homage to her hometown, Hong Kong, which she left at 18. She says her 2025 spring/summer collection, “Chrysanthemum Dew”, was...
