Frosty.
• Hong Kong will host Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2026 award ceremony on March 25th.

• And finally, via Wok This Way’s latest post, a nifty CNY present from Lego for the upcoming Year of the Horse.
The set costs C$140 in Canada, but I found it for HK$753 online at the HK Lego store, which is about 10 Canuck dollars cheaper.
