World Games: China extend gold-medal lead through Bai Yulu, Han Yu, Shang Chunsong
China extended their lead at the top of the World Games medal table on Wednesday after adding three gold medals through the current women's world snooker champion, a three-time world champion, and a former Olympics gymnastics bronze medallist and also ex-world champion. Playing in the six-red snooker event, reigning world champion Bai Yulu beat Thailand's Narucha Phoemphul 2-0 at the Civil Aviation Flight University of China's Tianfu Campus Gymnasium, after ousting Wendy Jans in the semi-finals on Tuesday. Later at night, Han Yu, a three-time world nine-ball women's pool champion, beat the Philippines' Chezka Centeno 7-6 in the women's pool final, with compatriot Liu Shahsha finishing third. And Shang Chunsong, competing under the gymnastics programme in Chengdu, won the parkour freestyle women's event at the Xinglong Lake Hubin Arena. Scoring a total of 24.7 points, the 2024 world freestyle champion finished ahead of Japan's Nene Nagai, who scored 22.9 points, and Sara Banchoff Tzancoff of Argentina, who finished with 20.6.

5 new Hong Kong restaurants that you need to try this July
We're a week into July, and with exciting events like international artist Joan Cornellà returning to Hong Kong for a large-scale art exhibition, the Hong Kong Book Fair, and an exclusive pop-up from British designer Anya Hindmarch, this month is shaping up to be a fun-filled one. But if you need a break from the sweltering heat, why not take shelter while grabbing a bite at some of the city's new dining venues? Here are five new must-try restaurants in Hong Kong you need to check out. 1. Shoo Loong Kan Eating hot and spicy food can help cool you down in hot weather. It sounds counterintuitive, but when you work up a sweat while eating, it cools you down as it evaporates. With that in mind, Sichuan-based fiery hotpot chain Shoo Loong Kan has opened its first Hong Kong branch in Lee Theatre Plaza. They've got a supreme beef tallow spicy broth made with blended chillies and spices that'll tantalise your taste buds, but the signature Tianfu yeast preserved soup base is a milder option if you'd prefer something more mellow instead. As for hot pot add-ins, the restaurant offers a wide selection of premium beef cuts, fresh seafood items such as fish heads and prawns, as well as a variety of fresh veggies. 2. Pineapple Bakery Ok, so they're not technically a restaurant, but we think Pineapple Bakery in Sheung Wan definitely deserves to be on your radar. Like their name suggests, this bakery specialises in pineapple buns, one of Hong Kong's most beloved staple baked goods, but they've jazzed them up by using premium ingredients like free-range Ping Yuen chicken eggs and French AOP butter. Since opening for business this month, Pineapple Bakery has been the talk of the town amongst local foodies, and their pineapple buns are selling out like hotcakes. Only 88 of their coveted buns are sold daily, so refer to their Instagram to see when the baps come fresh out of the oven. Don't forget to try their other offerings like classic and pandan-flavoured cocktail buns or pork floss bun filled with bacon and scallion cream cheese, and pair it all with their nitrogen-brewed silk stocking milk tea (which also comes with a cute mini pineapple bun). 3. Thai Pai Dong (Central) Since opening in September 2024, Thai Pai Dong has become one of the hottest spots in town for authentic Thai fare, and has recently opened a brand-spanking-new branch on Staunton Street, which means you won't have to commute to Jordan for their scrumptious Thai plates. Expect to chow down on Wagyu beef boat noodles, pad kee mao (drunken noodles), crab meat omelette, and more. Unlike its flagship venue in Jordan, Thai Pai Dong's Central branch offers Thai-inspired cocktails after 9.30pm, and we reckon this outpost will be popular for those unwinding after a long day. 4. Moodle by the Grand Moodle by the Grand is the place to be if you find yourself craving a big bowl of noodles. This restaurant in Wan Chai's Hopewell Centre specialises in regional noodle dishes from all across China, so you won't find any rice dishes on their menu. Whether you like Beijing's savoury zha zhang mian (black bean sauce noodles), Shaanxi's youpo biangbiang noodles tossed in oil, or Cantonese braised beef shank and tripe noodles, they've got it all. Don't forget to pair your dishes with Moodle by the Grand's curated tea set inspired by the five elements, or opt for delectable Chinese desserts like osmanthus jelly cake with bird's nest. 5. Peng Leng Jeng Chef Archan Chan and teammate Johnathan Leung of Ho Lee Fook have joined forces to open Peng Leng Jeng, a pop-up dai pai dong in the heart of Central. This joint venture gets its name from a popular Cantonese slang that directly translates to 'cheap, beautiful, and great', which represents the dining experience here. On their menu, you'll find all sorts of plates like crispy oyster omelette, Hong Kong-style mala chicken in a sizzling clay pot, crispy pork ribs tossed in mayonnaise, and plenty more. Be sure to pair your sizzling hot dishes with an ice-cold bottle of Blue Girl, or ask the restaurant's staff for their wine list if you'd prefer something classier. This neon-drenched venue will only be around until August 31, so you'd better book your tables fast if you want to experience this quintessential Cantonese dining experience.

Tianfu Rapoil Shines at Hong Kong Hometown Market Carnival
HONG KONG, June 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- This is a report from Xinhuanet: Co-organized by 30 provincial-level hometown associations in Hong Kong, the "Third Hometown Market Carnival" was kicked off on June 1 in Victoria Park, marking the beginning of the five-day event. The Sichuan Provincial Grain and Material Reserve Bureau showcased its premium products under the 'Tianfu Rapoil' brand at the event, becoming the star attraction in this year. At the event, Tianfu Rapoil brought nearly 2,000 products, ranging from 'Traditional Small-Pressed Rich-Aromatic Rapeseed Oil' made using non-heritage pressing techniques, to low-erucic acid rapeseed oil, and small-packaged rapeseed oil specifically designed for younger consumers. On-site, residents and tourists participated in 'Come to Play and Win Oil in Victoria Park'. They not only won Tianfu Rapoil products but also received its limited-edition cultural and creative merchandise. Items such as umbrellas, folding fans, and canvas bags featuring panda patterns became the most sought-after items at the event. This year's Hong Kong Hometown Market Carnival features a special Chinese Food Street, with 30 food stalls offering cuisines from all over China. When Tianfu Rapoil meets regional specialities such as Xinjiang lamb skewers, Shaanxi Roujiamo, and Hunan Changde rice noodles, magical sparks occur. At Xinjiang association stall, chefs blended Tianfu rapeseed oil with cumin and chili powder to create a secret sauce brushed onto sizzling lamb skewers, drawing a snaking line of eager customers. At Shaanxi association stall, chefs tried Tianfu rapeseed oil to bake Roujiamo, praised by diners as a 'soulful carb bomb'. At Hunan association stall, chefs used Tianfu rapeseed oil to prepare the special topping for Changde rice noodles, delighting noodle lovers with its fragrant and refreshing taste. During the event, procurement managers from local Hong Kong catering groups and buyers from high-end supermarkets were drawn by the aroma. "The fragrance of Tianfu Rapoil is unique. After testing it in cooking, we noticed a significant improvement in the dishes' flavor," said a procurement representative from a well-known chain restaurant, who expressed immediate interest in establishing a stable supply channel after learning about the oil's production process and quality standards. The flood of partnership inquiries reflects the robust strength of Sichuan's rapeseed industry. As the province with the largest rapeseed cultivation area and the highest rapeseed oil consumption in China, Sichuan has in recent years taken the Tianfu Rapoil initiative as a starting point to drive the upgrading of the entire industrial chain, and enabled Tianfu Rapoil to stand out in the domestic edible oil sector, winning the 'China Grain and Oil Influential Public Brand' award for five consecutive years, with a brand value exceeding 10 billion yuan.
