The Punjabi Pop King is here: Long Live the King! Diljit Dosanjh lands in Hong Kong
Not going to list out all his groundbreaking achievements --that's why we have AI--but its breathtaking in scope. Its just nice to see a good guy win.
When Diljit did a cover shoot for GQ India with Jackson Wang--Hong Kong's own super celeb--we had an inkling the Punjabi icon was on his way to the 852. His concert, despite its hefty price tag, has done exceptionally well.
With an Emmy nomination under his belt, wonder what career mountains he'll climb next?
The music royalty landed in Hong Kong last night for a one-night-only show. He killed it. Long live the King!
Throwback: Shooting Eurasian model Ana R: outtakes
Some of the outtakes from this photoshoot in Macau, with Hong Kong model, one of my favourite people (I meet most amazing people through work - one of the very few perks esp these days!), gorgeous agency owner Ana R.
We usually meet at events, show face - and then go to our dive to chill with friends without the paparazzi.

What’s Happening in Hong Kong’s Drink Scene? The 11 Hottest Bars to Try Right Now
For the second consecutive year, Bar Leone has clinched the top spot in Asia’s 50 Best Bars, with Lorenzo Antinori and his stellar team earning well-deserved accolades—hardly surprising to local media who’ve championed this gem despite its often-daunting queues. But this is Hong Kong—queuing in an orderly fashion is practically a civic duty.
While other Asian cities boast mixologist cocktails and beachside bars with coconuts at arm’s reach, Hong Kong has something unique: a fierce edge honed by brutal rents and relentless competition. Only the strongest survive in this Darwinian landscape, where every barkeep and restaurateur must bring their A-game to stand out in a city teeming with options.
Our friendly neighbourhood haunt—full disclosure, Robb Report Hong Kong’s offices are two streets and a hop and climb away from Bar Leone, and our team frequents it more than we’d care to admit—is buzzing as ever. Securing a booth is now even trickier, but fear not, dear reader, for Hong Kong boasts over 9,000 watering holes. When the queues grow long and the rains loom ominous, there are plenty of stellar alternatives.
In our relentless pursuit of the novel, the different, and the downright delicious, we’ve done the hard yards—sacrificing for the greater good with the precision of a scientist on sabbatical. Here’s our curated guide to Hong Kong’s hottest bars to try right now, and what they’re serving this season.

Homa Caviar Makes Freshly Harvested, Authentic Iranian Caviar Directly Accessible
Discover the luxury of genuine Iranian caviar, delivered fresh from the Caspian Sea to your table within 48 hours. Well, while stocks last.
Since its inception in 2020, Homa Caviar has been rewriting the code for luxury dining experiences by making authentic Iranian caviar accessible to discerning palates. Nestled just outside of Tehran, Homa Caviar’s farm is dedicated to preserving the rich heritage of Iranian caviar, a delicacy that has long been revered for its unparalleled quality. With a commitment to delivering the freshest harvests directly to your door, Homa Caviar is transforming the way we enjoy this exquisite treat, and we have two young entrepreneurs to thank.
Homa Caviar’s story began with a simple desire: to ensure that familial bonds could be nurtured through shared culinary experiences. Founders Anthony Yuen and Bradley Yih, both 23, recall how the idea fermented early on. Yih’s grandmother cherished genuine Iranian Beluga caviar, a luxury that became increasingly difficult to find as the market was flooded with subpar alternatives. What started as a quest to preserve a treasured family tradition has blossomed into a venture that connects Iran’s finest caviar farms with the sophisticated tastes of modern diners. And it all begins with a memorable name.
