South China Morning Post - Sep 30, 2026

Tucked away in an alley in Kyoto’s Gion district, Niku no Takumi Miyoshi – popularly called Nikushi no Miyoshi – is easy to miss.

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.

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...

Taffeta ruffles and feather-adorned layers explode from Ko’s silk bodices while other pieces evoke the elegance of porcelain.
