Miriam Yeung tries to get back in shape after maternity break

Miriam Yeung Chin-wah gave birth to her first child just five months ago but has been out and about a lot since she re-emerged in public last month.

Yeung attended the launch of the latest collection of handbags by local fashion brand Salad on Tuesday at Causeway Bay's Crowne Plaza hotel. She turned up in a black ensemble with a leather jacket and handbag in her favourite colour, purple.

Fresh from her maternity break, the Canto-pop singer and actress still looked a little chubbier than usual. Asked about her efforts to get back in shape, Yeung said her public relations consultant husband Real Ting Chi-ko had joined her on a new exercise and dietary regimen.

"Everyone else can laugh about my chubbiness, but not my husband. He is partly to blame for the extra weight I've gained," Yeung joked. She had always been the prettiest girl in Ting's eyes, she added.

It's good to see Yeung playing the diva again.
