Since November 2024, luxury shopping destination Landmark has undergone 'Tomorrow's Central', a three-year-long project to refresh its facilities. As part of the renovations, Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong (MOHK) has unveiled that they are collaborating with French culinary legend Daniel Boulud to unveil a new dining venue. Set to take over the 25th floor of Landmark Princes', Terrace Boulud will bring the award-winning chef's acclaimed French fare to Hong Kong for the first time.

I tried the new Crieff Hydro restaurants and bars after £5m makeover
We're checking in for an overnight following a multi-million pound transformation of the resort's food and beverage offerings, which includes a new Asian small plates restaurant, a kitsch dining room for afternoon teas and a 'secret' speakeasy bar accessed only by cracking a cryptic code. Read more: Though it's my first time at the hotel, almost everyone I've told about this weekend's trip back in Glasgow has had their own fond memories of the Hydro to share. "Let me know if the giant chess set is still on the grounds," a friend ask after reminiscing over family holidays. Another urges me not to skip the Victorian Baths, "there are no kids allowed," she says, "you need a passcode from the front desk to get in, and it's so peaceful." Alice, who is accompanying me on the trip, is also no stranger to the hotel with family who hail from nearby, but as we step into the reception area, she notes that this sleek room with plush seating areas and heavy lighting fixtures suspended from the ceiling is nothing like the one she remembers. Even among the chaos of families scrabbling to make it to the desk for check-out, this newly revamped space offers a real wow-factor welcome. When it's our turn to step forward and pick up our room keys, they are handed over with a pair of maps detailing all there is to see at this historic spa hotel alongside a rundown of all the activities the team are offering today. Should the mood strike, we could take part in a spot of archery, horseback riding or even a ceilidh later on in the evening. We mull it over from the comfort of the stately armchairs in our room, perfectly positioned to make the most of views across the impossibly picturesque Strathearn Valley, and conclude that no decisions should be made on an empty stomach. Pictured: Head to The Winter Garden for a light lunch (Image: Supplied) A light lunch The first of the new restaurant offerings on our list is The Winter Garden. Led past the beautiful ornate Ballroom Bar to our seats, there's an instant sense of calm in this bright and airy space. Though there are families with young children about, at no point does it feel overcrowded or noisy. We order a pair of saintly salads, one a classic Caesar with shavings of grand pandano and anchovies, and the other a superfood extravaganza. Charred sprouting broccoli, roasted butternut squash, edamame beans and quinoa; there's so much goodness here I'm sure I'll leave the table an hour later a new person with glowing skin and boundless energy for the afternoon ahead. Well, that might have been the case were it not for the side order of truffle and parmesan-topped fries. With each bite of crunchy, oily goodness, balance is restored to the universe. Pictured: A superfood salad at The Winter Garden (Image: Supplied) There are a few hiccups with service, which appear to be the result of tablet devices used for processing orders. It will become a recurring theme throughout the trip, as the system struggles to handle simple requests like a gin martini rather than the espresso version listed on the menu, but each time, the team deals with mix-ups professionally and promptly. I wonder if a return to a trusty pen and pad might solve this problem, but in a resort as big as this with multiple food and drink outlets, it's understandable that a digital system might be the best way to keep track. It's only a month into the new menus after all, and I'm sure these kinks will be ironed out in time. Pictured: East serves a small plates menu full of Asian flavours (Image: Supplied) A few surprises in store Did I think I would come face to face with a shaggy-haired, miniature goat during our stay? No. But that's just one of the fun surprises our afternoon stroll reveals. It turns out that a number of farmyard animals, from donkeys to alpacas, call Crieff Hydro home, with guests even offered the chance to take part in trekks with their newfound furry friends. Paired with the vast play area further up the hill, I'm now coming to appreciate how brilliant this place must be for families with kids. After hopping aboard the 'Hydro Express' back to reception alongside a mix of bemused parents and awe-filled youngsters, there are more unexpected delights in store at the East restaurant. Pictured: A veggie-friendly cabbage dish from East (Image: Supplied) I'll admit to being sceptical when reading about this small plate dining concept that uses local Perthshire produce for dishes ranging from Hong Kong style whole sea bass to Filipino spatchcock chicken in Adobo spice. The sheer scope of this menu felt dangerously overambitious. Pictured: Slow-cooked Cambodian Spiced Lamb (Image: Supplied) But it's a knockout meal. The slow-cooked Cambodian Spiced Lamb is my favourite of our choices, its tender chunks of meat sliding from the bone into rich masala sauce. Elsewhere, Javanese chicken is wonderfully sticky and sweet, while veggie dishes of tempura samphire with honey Gouchujang sauce or chargrilled cabbage with crispy onions and wild mushrooms easily outshine the Duck Momos we had chosen as a 'safe bet'. More than just another concept to add to their dining portfolio, East quietly proves itself to be a real powerhouse of a restaurant. Based on my first experience, I'd be tempted back to the hotel just to sample further options of Slains Farm sticky pork belly or Cantonese chilli monkfish tails. Pictured: Take a seat at The Ballroom Bar as you crack the code to find The Hermitage (Image: Supplied) A 'secret' spot Before dinner at East had its chance to impress, our server had passed us a riddle printed on a piece of card to solve while we indulged in cocktails at the Ballroom Bar. 'Are we missing something really obvious here?' Alice asked after five minutes of back and forth as we tried to figure out the key to locating the hotel's secret speakeasy. Without offering any spoilers to those planning to visit the Hydro in the future, the answer was yes. Yes, we were. But with some gentle guidance from our host, we later made it through the hidden doorway to The Hermitage bar for a nightcap. It's dark and moody inside, with the only light sources provided by small lamps on each table and a bar heavy with spirits and liquors used for a cocktail menu that's far more advanced than the one you'll find in the hotel's other spaces. Think smoky mezcal-based numbers, local honey-infused sippers or sophisticated highballs. Perhaps the best bit of this whole experience is the fact that there is strictly no photography allowed at The Hermitage. It's a bold move in an age where social media content reigns supreme, but one that really pays off, forcing you to focus on the here and now, while appreciating every last drop of your chosen drink. Read more: When the evening is over, we're directed to leave through a door leading straight back to a hallway area of the hotel. It's a little disorientating, but there's a real kick in knowing we had walked past this same concealed exit multiple times before with no inkling of the excitement awaiting on the other side of the wall. The Hermitage will surely be the highlight of a stay for whisky and cocktail lovers. Pictured: Afternoon tea and brunch is served in the Loggia (Image: Supplied) Tea for two Following a fabulous hot stone massage and time to enjoy the heated pool, sauna and steam room at the Victorian Baths, the next day we've one more dining space to explore before we depart the Crieff Hydro. Though enjoying the same view framed by tall windows next door in the Winter Garden, there's a touch more elegance and grandeur at the Loggia, from the dainty glass chandeliers to towering flower arrangements and accents of baby pink dotted throughout. It's almost like stepping into a doll's house, and exactly the sort of place you would expect to be served platters of bite-sized savouries like Cullen Skink tarts or salmon and prawn roulade, followed by a sweet selection of scones and cakes. We have room to ourselves while finishing off pots of herbal teas, but it's easy to picture this room full on a special occasion like Mother's Day. Once again, I'll find myself impressed by the versatility of the hotel's revamped spaces. Others might have been eager to share their memories of the Crieff Hydro ahead of the trip, but I leave content to have made my own, and ready to return with tales of all the new treats in store for guests this summer.

Highland Park mural on Kirkwall shop may soon disappear as distillers plan new paint job
The large mural on the side of Kirkwall's Highland Park shop may be about to disappear. The whisky distillery has submitted plans to Orkney Islands Council which would see its Albert Street shop undergo a change in colour scheme. Much of the shop's exterior would be changed from the current blue-grey colour to 'Wimborne white.' This would have the shop align with the re-branding the company unveiled last October. Highland Park says the new look was created to allow it to celebrate its Orkney roots more. The shop's large Viking-inspired mural on the shop's gable end became an eye-catching addition to the high street when the company took over the premises in 2019. However, under the new plans, it would be replaced by a more basic Highland Park logo with 'single malt scotch whisky' underneath. The front-facing signage would also be repainted, maintaining dark colouring. New lettering would be fitted as well. While this may signal the disappearance of one mural from Kirkwall's high street, planning permission has just been given for another. The soon-to-open Garden Square development will be adding one designed by artist Lauren Morsley. Highland Park's shop serves as a town centre hub for visiting tourists while the distillery is located on the outskirts of Kirkwall. The shop has been particularly useful for the company over the past year while the distillery has been closed to tours and tastings. This was while work was done to make the distillery more environmentally friendly. It is estimated the project will cut the carbon emissions of the site by about 20%. Highland Park's planning application for its new mural on its Kirkwall shop is now with Orkney Island's Council's planning department, awaiting a decision.

Division between US and China is the biggest risk confronting world now, France's Macron says
SINGAPORE, May 30 (Reuters) - French President Emmanuel Macron said on Friday that division between the two superpowers, the United States and China, is the main risk currently confronting the world as he emphasized the need for building new coalitions between Paris and partners in the Indo-Pacific. Macron is visiting the region as France and the European Union aim to strengthen their commercial ties in Asia to offset uncertainty over U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff measures. "I will be clear, France is a friend and an ally of the United States, and is a friend, and we do cooperate - even if sometimes we disagree and compete - with China," said Macron, who was speaking at the Shangri-La Dialogue, Asia's premier defence forum, alongside a two-day state visit to Singapore. The French president said Asia and Europe have a common interest in preventing the disintegration of the global order. "The time for non-alignment has undoubtedly passed, but the time for coalitions of action has come, and requires that countries capable of acting together give themselves every means to do so," Macron said. Macron is following leaders of China, Japan and other European countries in visiting the region in recent weeks, in a sign of south east Asia's strategic importance amid uncertainties on global supply chains and trade.
