I have some…

🚨 PERSONAL NEWS!

After almost ten years at @tatlerdininghk, I’ve joined @scmplifestyle as their new Food & Wine Editor. The incredible @susanjungfood left massive shoes to fill (not literally, ofc) and so please bear with me as I find my footing 😉

@daisydunnesci @orladwyer_ @ruwaidaamer8 @AJEnglish @GraihaghJackson @BBC @Petro_Kotze @MongabayOrg WATCH, READ, LISTEN: The South China Morning Post examined the Chinese new year staple “fat choy” and how its overharvesting has turned parts of China “into desert”.

When Beef came out on @netflix earlier this year, the little cameo that Sara Lee pound cake made on the show inspired me to dive into how this everyday dessert seemed to be a collective memory for so many Asians: https://t.co/7gjv91tJeR

Hong Kong is going mad over the news of Sara Lee (in Australia) going into voluntary administration. I checked and yes the cakes we get here are indeed manufactured in Aus (rather than the US, under the original company)… wonder who’s going to start hoarding pound cakes 😅

@moevino @WineFraud Hi Maureen, I work with SCMP newspaper in Hong Kong - one of our freelancers has been trying to get in touch with you for a story on your upcoming HK workshops. Could you let me know the best way to contact you to arrange an interview? Thanks!

@FY4Chan When a super typhoon and hungry ghost festival collide… 😂

[Charmaine Mok @supercharz]

The aftermath from five years ago when we felt the force of #SuperTyphoonMangkhut.

I don’t remember feeling as afraid back then in my apartment… but tonight’s winds from #Saola really seem worse.

[Charmaine Mok @supercharz]

Scenes from #SuperTyphoonMangkhut's aftermath, at Island Resort and Siu Sai Wan Sports Ground. Never seen this scale of destruction here from a typhoon.

"Hong Kong is everything to me," says COA's Jay Khan, which won the top spot in @50BestBars for the third year running, this year on home turf. We love to see it!

So I wonder how long people can post links to their #Threads account 🤭

At one point, I would comfort myself imagining that at least 1 in 4 of those strangers standing in the carriage of the train, or sitting on the bus, or sat in a restaurant had been there that day in June 16, 2019, and remembered it too.

Time flies. 5 years ago, we lost Anthony Bourdain - but his legacy lives on. Loved this story by @chrismdwyer taking a look at how he impacted the lives and careers of 3 chefs in Hong Kong. Out in Post Magazine this Sunday! https://t.co/5WpDXS9jR2

@TripperheadToo It seems random, or maybe linked to whoever is sponsoring the act? Went for the Tone Music Fest in Sep ‘22 - no alcohol sold except for canned Bacardi cocktails they handed out at the end of the concert 🙄 But at BSB in March, they had beer for sale.

[Charmaine Mok @supercharz]

@zannahb @Jay_Watt You are a genius 🤣

[Charmaine Mok @supercharz]

Had a lot of fun recording a reading of my story on the world-famous Sara Lee pound cake! Thanks @Jay_Watt and Jasmine for the support 😎

@cheekyangelHK No need for kids 😆

[Charmaine Mok @supercharz]

Sometimes I just love how I can leave my office in the middle of the day to buy snacks as part of my job 😂

Looking for people who have ever found the elusive “eyebrow” koala biscuit!

[Charmaine Mok @supercharz]

@TripperheadToo 😂 fierce… but apparently not!

[Charmaine Mok @supercharz]

@FY4Chan If you don’t already use @inaturalist to identify various insects and plants I recommend it!
