Mumbai’s The Oberoi Comes to Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong For 3 Days Only For Indian National Day


Experience the flavours of India with executive chef Gurmeet Bhamra at Clipper Lounge and Café Causette.

It’s the question most often foisted upon us: Where’s the best Indian food in Hong Kong?  

Well, the usual suspects make the cut: Michelin-starred Chaat and Leela in Causeway Bay are both worth your time and dime; someone adventurous will mention a dive at Chungking Mansions; and, of course, vegetarians go wild for Woodlands in Wan Chai and Gaylord in Tsim Sha Tsui, which recently celebrated 50 years in Hong Kong. Personally, I was mad about the original Veda, which tragically closed its doors in 2008, and its younger cousin, Veda Bar & Café, now opposite Dragon-I, still serves the best cheese dosa known to humanity. With options at every price range, style of cuisine (28 states and as many—if not more—styles of cooking), atmosphere, and service, there is no single answer… 

Until now. 

For three days, the answer is surprising: the Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong. In a remarkable celebration of India’s culinary heritage, the iconic hotel is set to host a unique gastronomic experience to mark Indian National Day. From 15 to 17 August, the popular Clipper Lounge and Café Causette will transform into a vibrant epicurean haven, showcasing the innovative and authentic cuisine of executive chef Gurmeet Singh Bhamra from The Oberoi, Mumbai, one of Asia’s truly great hotels, a collaboration that promises to delight the senses with a menu that fuses traditional Indian flavours with contemporary culinary techniques.

Porsche Unveils the New 911 Carrera 4S, a Triumph of Engineering and Design


Porsche’s latest offerings in the 911 lineage elevate performance and luxury to unprecedented heights.

As Porsche celebrates the 60th anniversary of the Targa model, a trifecta of new offerings are in store, encapsulating the brand’s relentless pursuit of perfection and marrying cutting-edge technology with timeless design. With the introduction of the 911 Carrera 4S, alongside the Cabriolet and Targa 4S variants, the storied marque not only pays homage to its illustrious past but also boldly strides into the future.

At the heart of the new 911 Carrera 4S models lies a potent 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged six-cylinder boxer engine, now delivering an exhilarating 480 PS. This represents a significant leap in power, with an increase of 30 PS over its predecessor. The enhanced performance is attributed to an optimised intercooler system, a design borrowed from the revered 911 Turbo, ensuring that the driving experience is about speed and emotional engagement. The all-wheel-drive system—a hallmark of Porsche’s engineering prowess—provides exceptional traction, particularly in adverse weather conditions, instilling confidence on even the most challenging roads.
