If you’re curious (course you are) about Miss Hong Kong, you can check out all the winners every year from the last 35 years on the Miss Hong Kong Gallery website.

As pointed about by the British Born Chinese blog, you can see some famous names in there such as Maggie Cheung (1983). I’m personally not too sure about some of the entrants, but then, who am I to judge beauty.

If you like all manner of good quality and unique stationary, you might like Hong Kong based Patrick Ng’s blog.

Titled Scription, he writes “thoughts on stationary and beyond” and puts together blog posts with ideas, news and great photos of his stuff and what he creates, stationary-wise.

It probably helps that he works for stationary provider City’Super in Hong Kong, but then he does have a good sense of taste in his choice of leather, wood materials and traditional hand printing techniques.

Of course, there is also the Moleskine..

“Currently, she divides her time between London and Hong Kong, the latter in where her days are spent defying the skinny-Minnie norm by eating as much as her gut and wallet will allow.”

She recently blogged about restauranteur Alan Yau’s latest opening Cha Cha Moon here.
