Eatery grants singer Kwok free steamboat for life

AARON Kwok, who is one of Hong Kong’s “Four Heavenly Kings”, finds steamboat meals so delicious that he once ate it seven days in a row.

At the opening ceremony of a spicy steamboat restaurant in Hong Kong recently, the eatery gave him a VIP pass to have free steamboat for life, Oriental Daily reported.

Kwok, who turns 53 today, said he once considered investing in a steamboat restaurant business, but gave up the plan due to his busy schedule.

“I’m happy that I can now have free steamboat for the rest of my life,” he quipped, adding that he once had steamboat everyday for a week.

“I really love it,” he said. >A statue depicting a nude woman in a housing area in Henan province, China, was painted over with a pink “swimsuit” with white polka dots, Nanyang Siang Pau reported.

The European-style statue was “dressed up” with the swimsuit after the local management received complaints from some elderly residents, who felt that it was not appropriate to have nude statues in a housing area.

The incident made headlines in local media, which prompted the management to repaint the statue to its original white colour.
