香港首對大熊貓雙胞胎BB誕生啦！🎉🐼
今年，香港迎來咗屬於自己嘅大熊貓BB！呢對雙胞胎被親切地叫做「細佬」同「家姐」，佢哋嘅媽媽盈盈已經19歲，成為全球最年長嘅新手大熊貓媽媽！呢個奇蹟多得海洋公園動物護理團隊嘅悉心照顧同對大熊貓護理以及繁殖行為嘅深入了解。
其實，大熊貓係獨居嘅動物，通常每年3月至5月嘅繁殖季節先會短暫「約會」，交配之後，爸爸媽媽會分開，由媽媽獨自撫養BB。喺海洋公園，團隊每年都會喺繁殖季節留意盈盈同樂樂嘅行為，幫佢哋營造合適嘅環境，促進自然交配。
盈盈成功誕下雙胞胎之後，團隊亦全力支持佢做媽媽，利用育嬰箱幫手照顧兩隻BB，仲用帶有BB氣味嘅毛公仔，幫盈盈同仔女建立親密感。同時，佢哋亦希望俾盈盈充分嘅時間學習點樣做一個好媽媽，陪伴BB成長至2至3歲，享受呢段珍貴嘅親子時光。
呢次成功誕下雙胞胎，唔單止係一個開心嘅消息，仲反映咗海洋公園對優質動物護理嘅堅持同承諾！
準備好去探盈盈同佢一對超可愛大熊貓BB未？🐾✨
提到余仁生，大家第一時間會諗起百年信譽嘅中醫藥保健企業，但其實呢個超過140年歷史嘅品牌，仲做咗一件突破傳統嘅事——全力支援浸會大學中醫藥學院，聯合出版咗一本專業級嘅中藥材圖鑑《香港中藥材圖鑑》。
呢本書嘅誕生背後有一個重要嘅原因：由於中藥材品種眾多，名稱相近嘅藥材經常容易混淆，甚至引致安全風險。例如，附子同生附子雖然名稱相似，但實際性質差異極大，後者更加含有毒性；又例如滇烏鹼與烏頭鹼名稱相近，但滇烏鹼毒性明顯更強。為咗澄清呢啲混亂，建立中藥材嘅標準，《香港中藥材圖鑑》以「澄清混亂，建立標準」為宗旨，收錄咗多種本地常見嘅中藥材，詳細研究藥材品質，確保用藥安全有效，對推動中醫藥學嘅現代化發展有重大意義。
呢本書唔單止詳細記錄咗香港常見嘅中藥材特徵、用途同檢測方法，仲結合傳統智慧同現代科學，提供準確同權威嘅專業知識，成為中醫藥界重要嘅參考書籍。比起一般網上資訊，呢本圖鑑內容經過實證同驗證，資料專業性及準確度極高，甚至有人話佢「仲勁過Wikipedia」。
透過呢本書，余仁生提升咗中藥材嘅可靠性，成功將中醫藥推向現代化同專業化，更拉近咗中醫文化同普羅大眾嘅距離，展現咗傳統品牌喺創新路上嘅無限可能。

🎃 Halloween in Hong Kong is far from just trick-or-treat. It’s an iconic week-long event that brings together locals and visitors alike. It has grown into one of the biggest Halloween festivities in the world, with around 60,000 people coming together to enjoy the spookiest night of the year on October 31st.
At the heart of this transformation is Allan Zeman, the chairman of the Lan Kwai Fong Group, who introduced Halloween in LKF about 25 years ago. What began as a small gathering has evolved into a talk-of-the-town celebration that blends Eastern and Western traditions, featuring everything from costume parties to family-friendly activities. He recalls, “The first year it was all the gweilos who dressed up. Then slowly, I started to see more locals getting involved. Today, it has become almost a national holiday in Hong Kong.”

Biryani Masala? Cantonese Worcester Sauce? MSG? Charred Corn Husk? These are just some of the unusual ingredients that delightfully come together in The Savory Project’s one-of-a-kind cocktails.
Ajit Gurung and Jay Khan dared to defy norms with The Savory Project, a “never normal” establishment that flips the script on traditional bars by focusing solely on savory flavors.
Its menu caters to the bold and curious, with unexpected creations such as “Thai Beef Salad”, “Biryani”, and “Mala Punch”. In the intriguing Pepper+Corn cocktail, corn husk is meticulously skinned off the corn, cooked on the stove for hours to remove the moisture, and then further reduced sous vide. The dedication to detail is evident in every sip.
In an industry-leading move, The Savory Project presents a thoughtful selection of non-alcoholic cocktails to cater to evolving drinking preferences. “We don’t want people to miss out on the experience of a cocktail bar just because they don’t drink. We put equal thought and craft into our non-alcoholic cocktails, so non-drinkers don’t have to awkwardly settle for a lime soda.”
For Ajit and Jay, it’s not just about drinks; it’s a philosophy of pushing boundaries, challenging the status quo, and standing out in a sea of conformity. The Savory Project embodies their belief being bold and blazing their own trail – ultimately redefining the city’s cocktail scene. 🥃🍹🍸

Picture this… 500+ runners in costume, racing around the city, raising funds for mental health care and awareness, to a finish line where a pasta party awaits! Blending fun, wellness and community mindedness.
Hong Kong’s “Halloween warm-up event” by default, as it takes place the weekend before the eponymous spookfest, the Pasta Run is hosted by neighbourhood pasta bar, Pici, and is a beloved fixture on our city’s annual racing calendar.
🏃♀️This year, runners covered 4,000 cumulative kilometres – half the distance from Hong Kong to Italy, birthplace of pasta. Oldest finisher 🇬🇧Mark Graham – 70 years old; youngest finisher 🇫🇷Ysee Croq – 5 months old.
The run ended with a party in Pici Taikoo Place, where our costumed crusaders enjoyed handmade pasta masterpieces, bomboloni, tiramisu, awards, and the altruism of having raised over HKD100,000 for our charity partner, Mind HK.
