Tea with the girls
What do we love more than afternoon tea? Afternoon tea with a high fashion twist!

Created in partnership with jeweller Stephen Webster, the limited-edition Stephen Webster Bijoux Teais inspired by his most recent jewellery collection with handmade scones, luxury sandwiches and unique sweet creations including the Poison Apple (red peppercorn and dark chocolate shortbread) and Crystal Clear Diamond (a Guinness macaroon with blackcurrant jelly). It almost looks too good to eat… but we’re sure we’ll manage somehow!When: 21-29 April

Buns galore!
It’s time to celebrate one of Hong Kong’s oldest traditional festivals – the Cheung Chau Bun Festival. For those who haven’t been before, the centrepiece is a 14-metre tower covered with 9000 Chinese buns that people have to scramble up! So catch a ferry from Central Pier and enjoy several days of festivities, including the famous climbing carnival, Chinese Opera performances, lion and unicorn dances, the Piu Sik parade and the exciting Bun Scrambling competition.
