75-year-old TVB actress Nancy Sit opens up on love and 17-year gap with younger partner
HONG KONG: Back in 2018, Hong Kong actress Nancy Sit caused a buzz. She told everyone that she had been in a relationship for twelve years with someone 17 years younger than she was, as reported by The Star. Photo: Instagram/Nancy Sit
The 75-year-old actress once had doubts about their age gap, which eventually led them to split, according to Lianhe Zaobao. Reignited their romance
The TVB actress and her partner, Andy, have reignited their May-December romance, suggesting their romance isn't over yet. Just recently, Sit had a chat with Hong Kong media figure Stephen Chan, and during their conversation, she sent a sweet message to Andy, saying something like, 'I really hope our love lasts forever.'
Sit also mentioned that she was hesitant when Andy first showed his feelings for her. She was worried that maybe his feelings wouldn't last.
She went on to say how she feels cherished by Andy. She pointed out that he could probably be with many other people, but he's chosen to treat her incredibly well for all this time they've been together.
She also got a bit more serious, admitting that the age difference weighs on her mind. She said it makes her think about the fact that she might pass away before him. She even talked to her oldest daughter about it, who gave her some comforting advice, basically telling her not to worry so much and to just enjoy the happiness they have right now. No intention of marriage
Sit, who is well-known for her parts in dramas like A Kindred Spirit (1999), Return of the Cuckoo (2000), and Virtues of Harmony (2001), has no intention of getting married again despite her affections for Andy since she does not want to deal with the hassles of another divorce.
She also shared a bit about her history, explaining that her marriage to the rich businessman Shek Bo Hing ended quite a while ago, back in 1995, and that she has two daughters and a son from that time. She happily shared that her kids have already welcomed Andy into the family, and he even joins them when they go on trips together.
Expressing her deep appreciation for Andy's devotion, Sit remarked that finding such a sweet and loving connection at this stage of her life felt like a truly rare and special gift. Wonderful gift
She also said to Andy, 'Whenever things get tough for me, you're always right there by my side, sharing the load. Meeting you has been such a wonderful gift in my life. I really hope we can keep our love as strong and happy as it is now.'
Nancy Sit Ka-yin, whose Chinese name is 薛家燕, was born in Hong Kong on March 30, 1950. She's a respected actress and singer who's been in the business for many years.
Nancy Sit began her career as a child actress at nine. She quickly became a popular teen idol in the 1960s, alongside other notable figures like Connie Chan Po-chu and Josephine Siao.
During this period, she released numerous albums featuring 'Hala-Hala (Go-Go)' style music, which included both covers of Western hits (some in English) and Chinese songs. She also mentored Anita Mui, who later became a superstar in Hong Kong. See also Moses Chan makes SGD5.2 million a year at TVB

NewJeans responds to latest court ruling on independent activities
The legal representatives of K-pop girl group NewJeans have responded to a recent court ruling which stipulated that each of the group's five members would have to pay 1 billion won (US$726,800) every time they engage in activities without the approval of South Korean music label Ador. After unilaterally ending their contracts in November 2024, citing workplace harassment and other issues, NewJeans carried out numerous independent activities, including opening a separate Instagram page, providing free food to protestors in South Korea last December, rebranding to NJZ and performing at the pop culture festival ComplexCon Hong Kong in March this year. In January this year, Ador filed an injunction to halt NewJeans' independent activities, which the Seoul Central District Court granted on Mar 21 – days before the group's ComplexCon Hong Kong performance. After their ComplexCon performance, NewJeans declared that the group will go on a hiatus to respect the court's ruling. NewJeans is currently appealing against the injunction. View this post on Instagram A post shared by COMPLEX 中文 (@complexchinese) On May 30, the Seoul Central District Court announced that it had accepted Ador's application for an indirect compulsory enforcement – a type of penalty imposed for not complying with a court order – against NewJeans. As such, the court declared that each NewJeans member will have to pay 1 billion won for every unauthorised activity performed from May 30 onwards. In response, NewJeans' legal team said the recent court ruling is "not related to the ongoing appeal of the original injunction decision". 'Today's indirect compulsory enforcement decision is only temporary until a ruling is made on the injunction appeal,' wrote the team. 'If the NewJeans members win the appeal, both the injunction and the indirect compulsory enforcement decision will become null and void. In practice, when an injunction is granted, a corresponding indirect compulsory enforcement order is typically issued as well.'

Viral Kichi Kichi Omurice chef coming to Singapore in July
If you've spent any time on social media watching food videos, chances are you've encountered this guy in the red beret who makes hypnotic omurice videos. Chef Motokichi Yukimura, 69, from Kichi Kichi Omurice in Kyoto, has built a cult following with his theatrical take on the Japanese-Western dish, turning a simple omelette and fried rice combo into performance art. His videos, where he deftly slices open perfectly cooked omelettes with creamy insides cascading over rice like eggy waterfalls, have garnered millions of views. His 14-seat Kyoto restaurant has become a pilgrimage site for food tourists – same-day reservations are snapped up within seconds, with as many as 600 people trying to make a booking at any one time. COLLAB WITH TSUKIMI HAMBURG IN SINGAPORE Now, he's bringing his famous demi-glace omurice to Singapore through a collaboration with local hamburg chain Tsukimi Hamburg. Well, sort of. And there's a catch (more on that later). Given how tough it is to snag a seat at his Kyoto restaurant, this Singapore collaboration offers a convenient way to experience his viral omurice. Again, sorta. Tsukimi Hamburg is a Singapore-born concept by RE&S Group, which was founded in 1988 by Osaka native Hiroshi Tatara. The group operates several Japanese dining concepts in Singapore, including & JOY Japanese Food Street, Fiesta, Kuriya Dining and Ichiban Boshi. "This collaboration has been in discussion for some time, driven by our deep admiration for chef Motokichi's culinary flair and infectious energy," said Tsukimi Hamburg's PR representative. She added: 'RE&S group in Singapore has strong ties in Japan, and one of their Japanese counterparts bridged this connection with chef Motokichi'. TWO PERMANENT DISHES CO-CREATED BY KICHI KICHI CHEF Starting Jul 10, two new items will join Tsukimi's permanent menu. The Kichi Kichi Hamburg Omurice (S$16.80) combines the chef's omelette with demi-glace fried rice, edamame, chicken, and a hamburg steak. A simpler Kichi Kichi Omurice (S$12.80) offers just the omelette over demi-glace fried rice. For context, Tsukimi Hamburg's regular offerings include hamburg steaks served as donburi over rice (from S$12.80) or as teishoku sets with the patty on a sizzling hotplate (from S$14.80). SAME SAME BUT DIFFERENT KICHI KICHI OMELETTE STYLES IN SINGAPORE Both new dishes use what the brand claims is Chef Yukimura's signature rich demi-glace sauce recipe, which contains beef stock. However, the Singapore version differs from the original Kyoto presentation. "Instead of the classic sliced-open omelette style, our version features a beautifully dressed tornado-style omelette," the representative explained. The adaptation was made for operational consistency. 'Tsukimi Hamburg's [created in collab with the Kichi Kichi chef] tornado-style omelette is creamier and oozes more than the fully cooked tornado eggs that you might have seen in other eateries in Singapore,' said their spokesperson. Chef Yukimura was involved in the menu development process. Tsukimi Hamburg's Japanese head chef travelled to Kyoto to work with him on adapting the recipes for the Singapore market. "Through in-depth discussions and hands-on sessions, key techniques and flavour elements, including his signature demi-glace sauce and chicken fried rice, were carefully adapted to suit Tsukimi Hamburg's kitchen and service style," the representative stated. MEET THE OMURICE MASTER IN SINGAPORE The Kyoto chef will be in Singapore on Jul 11 and 12 for cooking demonstrations at Tsukimi Hamburg's Jurong Point outlet. The catch? These sessions are limited to just 20 people each and will showcase his famous omelette technique live. "Chef Yukimura will be performing a live demonstration of both his iconic Kyoto-style cascading omelette as well as the [Singapore] tornado-style omelette. He will personally prepare and serve his famed omurice to all winners, just like he does in Japan," said the PR rep. Tsukimi Hamburg staff will provide behind-the-scenes support during the demonstrations. Tickets will be given out through a lucky draw, open to customers who spend a minimum of S$20 at any &JOY Japanese Food Street outlet (at Nex or Jurong Point) between Jun 3 to 30. The Kichi Kichi omurice dishes from the collaboration will be available at all three Tsukimi Hamburg outlets islandwide for both lunch and dinner service as part of the permanent menu. As for the possibility of a permanent Kichi Kichi outlet in Singapore, the rep clarified: "At the moment, there are no plans for Chef Yukimura to open a permanent Kichi Kichi outlet in Singapore. This collaboration with Tsukimi Hamburg is a rare and exclusive opportunity for fans to experience his iconic omurice and signature flavours." Tsukimi Hamburg has three outlets, including 1 Jurong West Central 2, #B1-52 Shopping Centre, Jurong Point, Singapore 648886. Open daily, 11am to 10pm. Tel: 6250 6728. More info via website.
