Guess who also turns 61 this year? The beautiful Hong Kong actress Carina Lau.

She shares her birthday greetings for Singapore (turning 61 not 16 😆) with our colleague, who is in Hong Kong to interview Lau for Stephen Chow’s new movie Kung Fu Soccer - where she plays an Emei martial arts grandmaster.

Kung Fu Soccer is out in cinemas now.

Did you know that Singapore’s MRT station network might also be the country’s biggest public art gallery?

Since 1997, all new MRT stations have been furnished with artwork by a Singaporean or Singapore PR.

From 2026, stations along the North-South and East-West Lines will also get their own art pieces.

Find out what it takes to create art for an MRT station – and the millions of commuters who pass through it – at the link in bio The Straits Times Food

For the first time in its 101-year history, the iconic Chin Mee Chin is expanding out of its Katong location - albeit with a modern spin.

On Aug 8, it will open a 26-seat cafe at Nex - offering its classic kaya toast sets with freshly toasted buns, soft-boiled eggs and a hot drink.

Expect new additions such as sandwiches, choux puffs and speciality drinks.
