Over the past 10 days, somewhere on the internet, you’ve likely already read any sentiment I’d like to type. Or you’ve heard it in conversation. Tragic, devastating, heavy. I’ve grasped for other words, if only for variety’s sake, but these are the ones I keep coming back to, like everybody else. They’re accurate and true. When news of the Tai Po fire broke on November 26, we were in the midst of sending off pages for that... https://www.scmp.com/postmag/passions/article/3335316/week-postmag-standing-together-people-tai-po?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/postmag/passions/article/3335316/week-postmag-standing-together-people-tai-po?utm_source=rss_feed Sun, 07 Dec 2025 04:45:08 +0000 Cat Nelson Cat Nelson It’s a twisted truth that it’s always when a venue’s closing that everyone suddenly remembers how much they loved it. On September 27, the Metropol Restaurant shut its doors after 35 years, and the public reaction has been, unsurprisingly, intense. Our cover feature this issue joins the crowd. Over several visits in its final weeks, photographer Jocelyn Tam captured the Admiralty restaurant’s slow wind-down. Her images convey, as associate editor Gavin Yeung writes in his intro, “a relic of Hong... https://www.scmp.com/postmag/culture/article/3327771/week-postmag-macaus-revitalised-kam-pek-market-and-farewell-metropol-restaurant?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/postmag/culture/article/3327771/week-postmag-macaus-revitalised-kam-pek-market-and-farewell-metropol-restaurant?utm_source=rss_feed Sun, 05 Oct 2025 04:45:07 +0000 Gavin Yeung Gavin Yeung On a recent September lunchtime visit, the Metropol Restaurant was heaving with hordes of hungry office workers, jostling for space among newspaper-toting elderly diners. It seemed as if every high-rise inhabitant in Admiralty had descended upon the 35-year-old restaurant to say farewell, with September 27 marking its last day of business, after serving dim sum to untold millions over the decades. The Metropol’s closure leaves a gaping hole; it was one of only a handful of restaurants still... https://www.scmp.com/postmag/food-drink/article/3327728/end-era-hong-kong-iconic-dim-sum-restaurant-metropols-farewell-photos?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/postmag/food-drink/article/3327728/end-era-hong-kong-iconic-dim-sum-restaurant-metropols-farewell-photos?utm_source=rss_feed Fri, 03 Oct 2025 04:45:07 +0000 Cat Nelson Cat Nelson One of the first things I ever loved was a Hello Kitty diary. Yes, there were stuffed animals (Snuffy the bear, RIP), sticker books and an American Girl doll or two, but it’s the red Sanrio diary from 1993 that’s somehow become a core memory. The lock, shaped like Hello Kitty’s head, was cute but flimsy at best. Inside? Kindergarten confessionals, scrawled in shaky handwriting and even shakier grammar. Things escalated in Grade 2 when Miki moved from Japan to our sleepy California town.
