HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 July 2026 – Yung’s Bistro, the contemporary dining concept under Yung Kee Restaurant, today announced the official opening of its relocated venue at Shop 704, K11 MUSEA. Unveiled with a refreshed look, the brand first debuted at this arts and architecture landmark in 2019, consistently driving a dynamic dialogue between tradition and innovation. Moving from its original location at Shop 701, this relocation deepens that vision, integrating classic Cantonese cuisine and contemporary art into a newly redesigned space.
A Dialogue in Colour and Craft
The new Yung’s Bistro showcases 3,380 square feet of inviting space, its interiors glowing in vermilion — the traditional Chinese hue first introduced at the Taikoo Place branch. A gentle touch of green also runs through the design, adding nature, heritage and a dash of style that bridges Yung’s Bistro with the iconic Yung Kee flagship.
At the entrance, handcrafted brick walls with a tactile 3D finish nod to the materials and texture of Yung Kee’s Central flagship, warmly connecting past and present with a fresh, youthful twist. Inside stands a large hand-painted mural sharing the same artistic roots as the Taikoo Place branch. Inspired by the legendary ‘Winding Stream Party,’ the artwork captures Black Mane Geese relaxing with tea in the wild, adding a touch of playful heritage to the room.
The new venue’s visual centerpiece is a pair of wall installations by local artist Sim Chan, titled ‘Who Says I’m Silly’. Blending the existing white landscape relief with detailed 3D-printed miniatures, the classic Orchid Pavilion Preface is reimagined into a fantastical Yung Kee world packed with Hong Kong humor.
Here, being ‘Silly’ simply means staying optimistic and creative. Looking closely, diners will spot whimsical miniatures like Wang Xizhi chilling with geese, a goose-shaped Star Ferry, teapot cable cars, selfie-taking scholars, and lively water sports along the lakeshore. It truly is ‘an elegant landscape from afar, an intriguing world up close.’
Two Zones Crafted for Every Occasion
The space unfolds across two tailored zones designed for different gatherings:
Orchid Pavilion Space: Taking cues from the legendary “Winding Stream Party,” curved glass and rich vermilion accents set an easygoing, carefree vibe. Whimsical goose murals and 3D wall art add a touch of playfulness, while sunlit olive-green velvet booths line the windows -creating a cozy corner for afternoon tea or casual bites.
The Banquet Space: Centered around a deep green marble wall, this sophisticated zone blends warmth with privacy. It features a private room with Victoria Harbour views and two semi-open spaces separated by sliding screens, providing a versatile, stylish backdrop for business dinners and celebrations of up to 50 guests.
A Culinary Symphony Reimagined
Yung’s Bistro upholds its philosophy of “Taste of Art, Made with Heart” through four key pillars: modern interpretations of classics, nostalgic favourites, childhood-inspired creations, and refined home-style dishes.
Among the modern interpretations, the Deep-fried Cod with Diced Salted Fish, Crispy Garlic and Chili in Special Sauce (HK$380) reimagines a traditional dish by combining typhoon shelter-style cod with salted fish’s umami notes, finished with yuzu juice. Nostalgic favourites include the Steamed Egg White, Mini Crab Roe with Rice (HK$150) is a classic dish that is laboriously made by hand-picking the crab roe from around ten mini crabs prized for their strong umami flavour and delicate texture. The Steamed Beef Patties and Stir-fried Sliced Beef with Premium Aged Tangerine Peel (HK$300) presents beef prepared two ways, elevated by the 25-year-old tangerine peel sourced exclusively from Xinhui.
Childhood-inspired creations feature the Roasted Whole Goose Leg with Charcoal Stove (HK$350), served tableside with a charcoal brazier to preserve its chargrilled aroma, depicting the tradition of gifting goose legs during festivals. It is followed by the White Rabbit Candies Custard (HK$58), which reimagines a beloved childhood sweet as a dessert course. Among the refined home-style dishes, the Homestyle Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetables in Soy Sauce (HK$320) features Hong Kong-reared Berkshire pork prepared with traditional methods that highlight the meat’s succulence and the preserved vegetable’s natural sweetness.
Beyond the four core pillars, the team has also expanded the drinks and dining menu to cater to K11 MUSEA’s diverse clientele. A new cold-brew tea series has been introduced for summer, slow-brewed at low temperatures for a cleaner, smooth taste. Weekly rotating lunch sets have also been added for business diners seeking a quick yet polished midday option. Dim sum remains available throughout the day, featuring an enhanced weekend selection for the ultimate yum cha experience.
First-Time Collaboration with Tim Ho Wan
To celebrate the reopening, Yung Kee has collaborated with Tim Ho Wan for the first time, bringing a mini version of the limited-edition Tim Ho Wan x Yung Kee “Baked Roasted Goose Bun” to Yung’s Bistro at K11 MUSEA. Yung Kee’s roast goose is carefully deboned and combined with a secret sauce developed jointly by both brands, then encased in Tim Ho Wan’s celebrated golden, flaky baked bun.
The mini version is available exclusively at Yung’s Bistro’s K11 MUSEA branch in July, customers will receive a complimentary serving of 2 mini Baked Roasted Goose Buns upon spending a net amount of HK$500 or more in-store, and 4 pieces for those spending over HK$1,000, and so on.
Returning to K11 MUSEA, Yung’s Bistro honours its Tsim Sha Tsui heritage—welcoming familiar faces and new guests to experience an authentic, reimagined taste of Hong Kong.

Floor-to-ceiling glazing along ocean-facing elevations frames sweeping Andaman Sea views, and each residence’s private rooftop infinity pool and terrace are oriented west to capture the sunset.
Each four-bedroom, four-level townhome draws on Southern Thailand’s traditional architecture, with layered thresholds and vertical timber lines. The principal living and dining spaces occupy the upper level behind full-height glazing which opens out fully to allow breathtaking seaviews.
A private lift connects all floors, and each unit includes a ground-floor garden terrace. The master suite occupies its own floor, with a walk-in closet, reading room and ensuite bathroom opening to a private courtyard, finished throughout with premium appliances.

Novum Studio has raised a new round of funding to launch Ahoy Project, its enterprise AI solution, with internal testing scheduled for July 2026.
Ahoy Project is positioned as the infrastructure for AI-native enterprise transformation – an AI-native communication platform serving as the underlying system, delivered as an end-to-end tailored solution.
The launch expands the company beyond Frog, its Gen Z consumer social app that has reached 20 million users across the U.S. and Europe.
Novum Studio said it is applying lessons from operating high-frequency social platforms at scale to workplace communication and knowledge systems.
NEW YORK, USA – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 July 2026 – Novum Studio, the company behind Frog – a Gen Z social app often described as a “new-generation Snapchat” – said it has raised a new round of funding and will use the proceeds to launch Ahoy Project, an AI-native enterprise communication and collaboration platform, with internal testing scheduled for July 2026.
The Novum Studio team at London Tech Week 2025.
Unlike conventional workplace software, Ahoy Project will not be sold as a standalone software subscription, the company said. Novum Studio provides the infrastructure and a full tailored solution for enterprises undergoing AI-native transformation, with the communication platform serving as the underlying system on which that transformation is built.
Founded as a consumer social company, Novum Studio has reached more than 20 million users across the U.S. and Europe. Frog gained traction among younger users through spontaneous, real-time sharing designed around authenticity and low-pressure interaction. The company said its experience building large-scale social “spaces” – where millions of people communicate, form groups and coordinate in real time — directly informs its approach to enterprise collaboration.
The new funding will support the launch and international expansion of the enterprise business as artificial intelligence reshapes how organizations communicate, collaborate and operate, the company said.
Novum Studio was founded by Anna Danyi, who graduated from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) in 2018 and began her career in consulting and technology. Before founding Novum Studio, she built multiple consumer applications and exited through an acquisition. In 2025, Forbes China recognized her among the Top 100 most influential global Chinese figures in AI digital products area.
“We spent years understanding how millions of users communicate online,” Anna Danyi said. “In the AI era, communication itself is becoming intelligent. We believe the next generation of platforms will not only connect people — they will understand workflows, collaboration and organizational behavior.”
From Consumer Social to Enterprise AI
Modern organizations face growing challenges as critical knowledge, decisions and workflows become fragmented across chats, meetings and disconnected tools, the company said. Ahoy Project addresses this as a conversation-driven, AI-native collaboration layer: it captures context from day-to-day communication to build a searchable enterprise knowledge base and support workflow coordination.
Core capabilities include conversation-based knowledge organization, AI-assisted collaboration and workflow support integrated directly into team communication. Because the platform sits at the layer where work is discussed and decided, it can serve as the foundation for a broader AI-native operating model – with Novum Studio designing and delivering the surrounding transformation solution for each enterprise client.
Ahoy (Popeye AI) turns everyday team conversations into a searchable enterprise knowledge base.
A New Direction for Social Technology
Novum Studio said its expansion reflects a broader shift across the technology industry. Platforms such as TikTok and Instagram defined how content was distributed and consumed in the mobile social era; as AI becomes embedded in digital products, the company believes the next stage will center less on feeds and more on intelligent systems that understand communication and coordination.
“We are no longer just building products where people post content,” Anna Danyi said. “We are building systems that understand how humans communicate and operate together.”

From spontaneous seaside escapes to culture-filled city breaks, OZO makes it easier for travellers to recharge, explore and enjoy more of what they love—even when time is limited
BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 July 2026 – As travellers across Asia-Pacific increasingly look for greater flexibility and balance in the way they travel, shorter and more frequent getaways are becoming a popular alternative to waiting for one long annual holiday. Enabled by convenient regional connections and destinations within easy reach of major cities, these micro-trips allow travellers to recharge, reconnect and discover somewhere new without the need for extensive planning.
Rather than rushing between attractions or following packed itineraries, many travellers are choosing to experience a destination at their own pace—exploring local neighbourhoods, cafés, food, culture and communities. Even a few days away can offer a meaningful change of scenery and the opportunity to return home feeling refreshed.
Responding to this evolving travel mindset, OZO, the upper-midscale hotel and resort brand under ONYX Hospitality Group, invites travellers to embrace micro-trips through its “Unpack. Good. Vibes.” philosophy. Combining quality sleep, convenient locations and an easy-going atmosphere, OZO provides a comfortable base from which guests can rest well, step out and make the most of every destination.
Designed around the belief that a rewarding journey begins with feeling well rested, OZO places equal importance on restorative sleep and destination discovery. Thoughtfully designed guestrooms, welcoming hospitality and locations close to beaches, cultural attractions, shopping districts and local neighbourhoods mean guests can spend less time getting around and more time enjoying what they love.
Across Thailand and Malaysia, each OZO property offers a distinctive starting point for a micro-trip.
For a seaside escape that combines relaxation with the lively atmosphere of Phuket, OZO Phuket is located just 150 metres from Kata Beach. Guests can begin the day by the sea before discovering neighbourhood cafés, Kata Night Market and scenic viewpoints nearby. Back at the hotel, SPLASH swimming pool, Prego Italian restaurant, EAT and THIRST Pool Bar make it easy to continue enjoying the day without having to venture far.
At OZO Chaweng Samui, travellers can slow down and embrace island life from a beachfront location on Chaweng Beach. Mornings can begin with a walk along the shore, followed by visits to Fisherman’s Village, waterfront cafés and local markets. At the end of the day, guests can return to the Beach Bar for sunset drinks before enjoying a restful night in a guestroom designed around quality sleep.
Within easy reach of Bangkok, OZO North Pattaya offers a convenient coastal break for travellers seeking a mix of beach time, local food, shopping and shared experiences. The hotel connects guests with North Pattaya Beach, Terminal 21 Pattaya, the Naklua community and Lan Pho Market. After exploring the city, they can cool off at SPLASH swimming pool, spend time together at BIG CHILL or relax over food and drinks at EAT and THIRST Pool Bar.
In Malaysia, OZO George Town Penang provides an ideal base for a culture-filled city break. Guests can explore the UNESCO World Heritage streets of George Town, discover street art and local cafés, sample Penang’s renowned food and visit landmarks including Armenian Street, Chew Jetty and Penang Hill. Back at the hotel, the rooftop swimming pool offers a relaxing setting overlooking the city skyline.
For families, OZO Medini makes it easier to turn a few days away into quality time together. Located close to LEGOLAND® Malaysia Resort, Puteri Harbour and X Park, the hotel places guests within convenient reach of Johor’s leading family attractions. After a full day out, families can unwind by the swimming pool, enjoy a meal at EAT or return to comfortable guestrooms designed to help everyone recharge.
Together, these destinations demonstrate that meaningful travel is not defined by the length of a holiday, but by how travellers choose to experience it. A micro-trip might mean walking along the beach at sunrise, discovering a neighbourhood restaurant, exploring heritage streets or simply spending uninterrupted time with family and friends.
This approach reflects ONYX Hospitality Group’s wider brand platform, “More of What You Love”, which encourages guests to create journeys shaped by their individual interests. Across its portfolio, the Group continues to connect accommodation with dining, local culture and destination experiences, giving travellers more ways to enjoy the things that matter most to them.
Supported by ONYX Rewards, the Group’s loyalty programme, members can also enjoy exclusive benefits at participating properties, making frequent regional getaways even more rewarding.
Whether it is a spontaneous weekend by the sea, a food-focused city break or a few fun-filled days with the family, OZO demonstrates that travellers do not need a lengthy holiday to create lasting memories. Sometimes, all it takes is a few days away, a good night’s sleep and the freedom to discover more of what they love.

홍콩 – Media OutReach Newswire – 2026년 7월 24일 – 미디어 산업이 세계화되고 국가 간 연결성이 더욱 강화되면서, 다양한 문화와 글로벌 시장을 아우르는 교육을 원하는 학생들이 늘고 있다. 멕시코 출신의 홍콩중문대학교(The Chinese University of Hong Kong, CUHK) 장학생인 호세 마누엘 세르반테스 산체스(Jose Manuel Cervantes Sanchez)는 홍콩중문대에서 이러한 교육 환경을 경험하며 국제적 시각과 실무 역량을 키워가고 있다.
호세 마누엘 세르반테스 산체스는 홍콩중문대에서 미디어를 통해 가교 역할을 하고 있다
글로벌미디어의전략적허브, 홍콩
현재 홍콩중문대 글로벌커뮤니케이션(Global Communication) 프로그램에 재학 중인 국제학생 호세는 동서양을 잇는 문화 및 상업적 관문으로서 홍콩이 가진 전략적 역할에 끌려 홍콩중문대를 선택했다. 평소 아시아 문화에 관심이 컸고, 홍콩과 남다른 가족적 인연도 있었던 그는 다양한 문화를 연결하는 홍콩의 위치에 매력을 느꼈다. 호세는 “진정한 현지 구성원이 되고 멕시코와 홍콩을 잇는 가교 역할을 하고 싶었다”고 말했다.
그가 홍콩중문대를 처음 알게 된 것은 학교 진학 상담교사의 추천을 통해서였다. 캐나다와 영국의 대학들도 함께 고려하긴 했지만 처음부터 호세의 최우선 선택지는 홍콩이었다. 이후 홍콩중문대 입학 장학금을 받게 되면서 그의 선택은 더욱 확고해졌다.
학업적우수성과창의성을키우는학습환경
호세는 글로벌커뮤니케이션 프로그램이 기대 이상이었다고 평가했다. 특히 학생들이 전문 미디어 장비를 직접 사용하며 자유롭게 창의성을 발휘할 수 있도록 지원하는 실습 중심의 수업을 가장 큰 장점으로 꼽았다. 그는 “많은 교수님들이 창의적인 도전을 적극 장려해 준 덕분에 내 안의 새로운 면모를 발견할 수 있었다”고 밝혔다.
강의실 밖에서도 그는 홍콩 생활을 적극적으로 즐기고 있다. 다양한 문화행사와 학생회 활동에 참여하고 현지 길거리 음식을 맛보며 도시의 활기찬 분위기를 만끽하고 있다. 캠퍼스 내 지하철(MTR)역이 있어 샤틴과 홍콩섬은 물론 선전 접경 지역까지 편리하게 이동할 수 있다는 점도 학교 생활의 편의성을 더하는 요소다.
홍콩에서구체화되는창의적커리어
호세는 앞으로 한 학기 교환학생 프로그램과 미디어 제작 인턴십에 참여해 실무 경험을 탄탄히 쌓을 계획이다. 졸업 후 진로로는 빠르게 성장하는 멕시코의 엔터테인먼트 산업과 역동적인 홍콩 미디어 산업 모두를 염두에 두고 다양한 가능성을 모색하고 있다.
해외 유학을 고민하는 학생들에게 대해 그는 분명한 메시지를 전한다. 홍콩중문대는 우수한 교육과 장학금을 지원할 뿐 아니라, 세계에서 가장 역동적인 도시 가운데 하나인 홍콩에서 글로벌 커리어를 시작할 수 있는 귀중한 발판이 되어준다는 것이다.
홍콩중문대글로벌커뮤니케이션프로그램소개
홍콩중문대 글로벌커뮤니케이션 프로그램은 학생들이 빠르게 변화하는 미디어 환경에 대응할 수 있도록 커뮤니케이션 이론과 실무가 결합된 교육과정을 제공하며, 모든 학생에게 해외 교환학생 기회를 보장한다.
최첨단 교육시설: 4K UHD 버추얼 세트 스튜디오, 디지털 라디오 스튜디오, VR 랩 등 전문 미디어 시설 이용 가능
