Linda Chung on natural childbirth experience: 'I struggled to walk afterwards'
Hong Kong-based actress Linda Chung shares three children with Jeremy Leung, whom she married in 2015. Photo: Linda Chung/Instagram Canadian actress Linda Chung has been happily married to chiropractor Jeremy Leung since 2015, and the couple share three children – Kelly, eight, Jared, six, and Anika, two. In a recent interview on Hong Kong actress Carol Cheng's online programme, Chung said marriage and family had always been part of her dream since she was younger. 'But after entering the entertainment industry, that dream kept getting pushed back. At one point, I even thought I might never get married,' the 41-year-old said. Chung, who's based in Hong Kong, then recounted her first pregnancy, revealing that the biggest struggle was dealing with the hormonal changes in her body. 'Although I looked slim, some parts of my body became swollen and painful,' the former TVB star said. The actress went on to explain why she chose a natural delivery over a caesarean section. 'I wanted to experience what my mum went through when she gave birth to me,' she shared. Chung revealed that the recovery was grueling as she had torn badly, adding: 'I struggled to walk afterwards.' Still, enduring the physical pain of a natural delivery made her realise just how strong she was. For her second and third child, Chung took an even bolder step, opting for home births. Inspired after speaking with other parents, she thoroughly researched the process and adjusted her diet to prepare. Her efforts paid off in the end. 'No stitches were needed then. I could walk right away, and the wound healed well,' she said.

From coconut cold porridge to bubbling crispy rice in broth, Hollysweet serves the best ‘tong sui' and ‘pao fan' in Melaka
MELAKA, Aug 14 — The bowl of Coconut Cold Porridge awaits us, pale and glistening. Rich coconut milk, slow-cooked to a silken thickness, slips over the tongue with a nutty sweetness. Thanks to an abundance of ice cubes, the tong sui stays cold as we take our time with every spoonful. There is no rush; the crowning scoop of coconut ice cream in the centre won't melt unless we hurry it along. Desiccated coconut offers a fragrant, toasty lift to ensure it stays refreshing. We are at Hollysweet, tucked into the calm neighbourhood of Taman Pertam Jaya in Melaka. The name might suggest confectionery but what the kitchen dishes out instead are sweet dessert soups or tong sui in Cantonese. Outside, a cluster of potted greenery spills towards the pavement, hinting at the relaxed mood within. Hollysweet is located in Taman Pertam Jaya, a quiet neighbourhood in Melaka. — Picture by CK Lim Inside, the space is bright and airy, perfect given whatever you order might arrive chilled by ice cubes or steaming in a stone hotpot. For Hollysweet's menu focuses on two specialties: the aforementioned tong sui as well as soup rice or pao fan (literally 'submerged rice' in Chinese). Having started with an exemplar of the former, we turn to the latter, but not before a small plate of seasonal greens. Today's is kailan, blanched to a satisfying crunch. Crowned with a savoury XO sauce that smells faintly of shrimp paste, each leaf of this Chinese kale is seasoned to sublime levels of umami. Seasonal 'kailan' (left). Crispy puffed rice (right). — Picture by CK Lim There are three versions of their signature Crispy Rice in Broth (the soup rice, essentially) to choose from: seafood, old hen and mushroom; we decide on the first two. Both come with a trio of sides: chilled stewed mushrooms, fresh carrot and radish pickles, and blanched vegetables with chilli. And, of course, a saucer of crispy puffed rice (but more on that later). For the Crispy Rice in Seafood Broth, the stock is a deep amber, brewed from prawn shells fried until they surrender their colour and scent to the oil. The steaming broth comes with soft rice already mixed in, the grains nearly indistinguishable from the soup.

We ladle some of this ocean-kissed congee into smaller bowls, to allow it to cool (be careful not to burn your tongue!). Now comes the fun part, pouring some of the puffed rice into the bowl and watching as each crunchy grain first swells quietly in the broth, before softening into something more yielding. The contrast of textures is what makes this such a winning combination. The Crispy Rice in Old Hen Broth offers a different sort of depth. The broth's lighter golden hue tells of long hours over the stove, the chicken lending a savouriness that is both assertive and rounded. Here there is little more accompaniment to the chicken than ginger, scallion and salt, yet the result feels divine. The old hen used to create this broth has to be at least two years old; more often than not, the bird is at least three to four years of age – hence the intense flavour.

It arrives in yet another stone hotpot, the taro melting into thick wedges that seem to balance the meaty chunks of chicken. The velvety gravy is sharpened with rice wine and garlic. The pink sakura ebi – the shrimp get their name from the Japanese cherry blossoms – scattered on top remain crisp despite the heat, a counterpoint to the unctuous textures beneath. Elsewhere on the menu are savoury delights such as Century Egg Steamed Egg Custard, Beef Stew with Daikon, Steamed Cuttlefish Paste, Prawn Dumplings in Red Oil and Drunken Chicken. Taro Chicken with Sakura Shrimp. — Picture by CK Lim For those with a sweet tooth, there are different tong sui such as Red Bean Soup with Tangerine Peel, Barley Beancurd Soup, Walnut Paste, Osmanthus Jelly and even, rather unusually for a Chinese restaurant, Red Wine Poached Pear. What lingers most after a meal here at Hollysweet isn't just the refined yet unpretentious menu but the sense of comfort it fosters. We take our time to appreciate every bowl that is set before us, be it their signature tong sui of Coconut Cold Porridge, or the bubbling pots of Crispy Rice in Broth. Whether the dish is ice cold or steaming hot, the approach is the same: Slow down, sip and savour, surrender. Hollysweet 荒糖 55, Jalan Taman Pertam Jaya, Taman Pertam Jaya, Melaka.

J-pop star Kenshin Kamimura fined in Hong Kong for indecent assault on interpreter
HONG KONG, August 13 — J-pop star Kenshin Kamimura was found guilty by a Hong Kong court today of the indecent assault in March of a woman who served as his interpreter during a fan event. Kamimura, 26, was previously a member of the six-member boy group One N' Only. He pleaded not guilty in April and chose not to testify during the trial in July. Magistrate Peter Yu said that Kamimura's behaviour showed obvious disrespect towards women, noting that his touches suggested a sexual undertone. 'Such behaviour should be condemned,' Yu said, fining him HK$15,000 (RM8,040) after his lawyer in mitigation urged a financial penalty rather than jail. On hearing the sentence, Kamimura hugged his court translator, while a handful of fans wept in the public gallery. Dozens more waited outside after the hearing ended as Kamimura left court without saying anything. The victim, identified only as X, testified in July that Kamimura and actor Junsei Motojima hired her as an interpreter to translate during a fan meeting in Hong Kong on March 1. The group then attended a celebratory dinner at a restaurant in the city's Mong Kok district. She told the court Kamimura moved to sit beside her during a toasting session and started repeatedly brushing and patting her thigh before suggesting they visit the bathroom together. He asked both in Chinese and Japanese if she knew what he meant, she added. X said she declined, telling him, 'If you want to go, you can go by yourself.' She said she then moved away to get some tea, but Kamimura blocked her path and again asked her to go outside. She told the court she refused. After X returned to her seat, Kamimura also came back and sat beside her. He apologised and said, 'Forget what just happened,' she recalled in her testimony. The singer also asked her about her relationship status and whether she planned to marry her boyfriend, she said. Kamimura then brushed her inner thigh again with the back of his right hand, X told the court. She shrank away, but he repeated the action about two to three times. Kamimura's lawyer said in mitigation that his client did not intend to coerce or threaten and that alcohol might have affected his judgment. The magistrate said that Kamimura had paid a huge price for the incident, saying he was immediately fired by his company and forced to leave the band. — Reuters
