- Yarra Valley - Victoria, Australia
Yarra Valley is an amazing region within the State of Victoria in Australia, and planning a regional tour of this region, would simply add charm, finesse, charisma, colour, spice and diversity into your total experience of Australia, aside from just visiting the familiar city of Melbourne. Less than an hour's drive from Melbourne, the Yarra Valley will have you feeling a world away, offering quality local food and wine, breathtaking scenery, romantic hideaways and indulgent adventures. The Yarra Valley is recognised as one of the world's premier wine growing regions with over 80 sensational cellar doors, superb restaurants serving fresh regional produce, luxury accommodation and more. Recognised as one of the world's great cool climate wine producing regions, the Yarra Valley not only has a rich history of wineries but also a significant history with beer and cider production dating back to early 1800s. Along with the famous Domaine Chandon (Moet & Chandon's Australian winery), De Bortoli and Yering Station, there are many other mid-size and boutique cellar doors providing an intimate wine experience you won't find in other wine regions. The Yarra Valley is a cool climate region with average temperatures of: > Summer : 26.6°C > Autumn : 20.4°C > Winter : 14.1°C > Spring : 19°C Destination Hopping - Road Trip around the Yarra Valley region 1st Stop - Yering Gorge Cottages For our visit to the Yarra Valley, we stayed over at the amazing Yering Gorge Cottages - set in the centre and heart of Yarra Valley and Eastern golf course, where the mammals roam freely, from Eastern grey kangaroos, swamp wallabies to wombats and echidnas. Nothing beats see teams of kangaroos, up close and personal, hopping around during dusk and dawn and almost throughout the entire day, right outside our cottages across the 120 acre countryside...roaming freely in their natural habitat! Amazing! Our coverage of the cottage stay is at this link.. https://www.rosettemedia.com/post/yering-gorge-cottages 2nd Stop - Levantine Hill Our first stopover is the awesome winery and cellar door of Levantine Hill; it is the perfect merger of two vineyards right in the heart of the Yarra Valley. On the one side, a vineyard producing superior grapes since the 1990s. On the other, lovingly planted family blocks right alongside a truffiére surrounding our Homestead. Together, this combined estate is pure testament to the passion and toil of dedicated human hands and man’s tenuous relationship with the nurturing love of Mother Nature. We simply adore the way they laid out the estate, the architecture, and the props which are absolutely lovely as a backdrop for social media sharing, a highlight of our visit here, aside from partaking of the wines and food at the cellar door and restaurant. Rising from the shores of the Yarra River at 75 meters and peaking at 225 meters above sea level, Levantine Hill vines thrive in looking out over steep clay loam slopes, at similar elevations to the Grand Cru vineyards of Chablis, France. This remarkable avant-garde space was created by Fender Katsalidis Architects, the same firm that designed the Museum of New and Old Art (MONA) in Tasmania, recognised as one of Australia’s great architectural achievements. For Karl Fender, given free rein by close friends Colleen and Elias Jreissati, it was a labour of love. In Karl they knew they had someone who shared their obsessed with perfection. And he repaid their faith with a building of timeless grandeur. With glorious views of the vineyard and the Yarra Valley across a spacious Village Green, the building and grounds also feature an array of wonderful paintings and sculptures by Australian artists. 3rd Stop - Healesville Sanctuary Our next stop is Healesville Sanctuary; we dropped by and met up with Donna and team. Healesville Sanctuary is part of Zoos Victoria. A not-for-profit, zoo-based conservation organisation dedicated to fighting wildlife extinction. Zoos Victoria is made up of four unique properties Melbourne Zoo, Werribee Open Range Zoo, Healesville Sanctuary and Kyabram Fauna Park, as well as a wildlife conservation team that works outside our zoo walls. Our coverage of the visit is here.. https://www.rosettemedia.com/post/healeville-sanctuary-yarra-valley-australia 4th Stop - Dominique Portet We visited this gorgeous winery serving Bordeaux-styled variants as the day progressed - lots of tourist and gastronomic attractions to visit.. Ninth-generation winemaker Dominique Portet chose the cool climate of aptly named Coldstream in the Yarra Valley as home to the eponymous winery he founded in 2000. It was the culmination of a tenacious search for grapegrowing terroir to rival that of his native Bordeaux – but also the start of a new chapter in a winemaking story that has its roots in France in the early 1700s, and so the origins of this awesome lovely wine brand has its humble beginnings liked to the wineyards in France. Our coverage of the winery is showcase here at this link.. https://www.rosettemedia.com/post/dominique-portet 5th Stop - Hubert's Estate Finally it was time for lunch, and we headed over to Hubert's Estate. In the heart of the Yarra Valley region is this dynamic and refined F&B and Wine establishment termed Hubert Estate, that is led by by the wonderful team of Ryan Hospitality, who is responsible for creating Michelton Winery and Nagambie Brewery & Distillery. This fascinating new Estate is designed by Cera Stribley and it juxtaposes the elements of food and wine together in a cellar-door, boutique wine store, event space and restaurant (heaps of people during lunch time, from even the close-by locals and corporate crowd) along with an art gallery, and with key plans to introduce accommodation and spa-wellness treatments by 2024. The link to this place https://www.rosettemedia.com/post/hubert-estate 6th Stop - Healesville : The Shire - The Town The Shire of Healesville was a local government area about 60 kilometres (37 mi) northeast of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia and the main town itself is truly a charming place - quaint, calm, peaceful but has the feel of a tourist-centric town, but yet not crowded with tourists or packed with people - it's probably my fave town to visit in the world right now - truly a wonderful place for great coffee, food, shopping and art. We visited a few of the local stores including the famous Barrique Wine Store, which cuts through the Maroodah Highway in Healesville, and had a great time speaking with the proprietor, whilst he gave me a tour of his store, and spoke with me on the festivities, culture, local-feel and personality of Healesville and the Yarra Valley and township - truly amazing! Walking around town allows me to take on the local stride and experience, and also I pondered around a souvenir-wellness shop and a spice-ingredient store nearby! The locals are so friendly and helpful! Splendid! 7th Stop - Four Pillars Gin Next on our itinerary was the world-famous Four Pillars Gin, where we were taken on a personal tour, did tons of Gin variant tasting, and spoke with the owners and also the bartenders, they do lots of customized tours and are so friendly! Four Pillars Gin make their famous gin in Australia; the most delicious, diverse and creative place on earth. And that’s why they get to combine intense creativity around gin with a huge passion for hospitality and gin-fuelled fun. We visited the place at the end of the road leading from the main drag from the Healesville quaint town, on Lilydale Road, and saw tourists, both domestic and international, awaiting to sample and to tour this renowned gin entity. Our Four Pillars Gin experiential tour is captured here.. https://www.rosettemedia.com/post/four-pillars-gin 8th Stop - Chandon Chandon was founded in 1986 in the beautiful Yarra Valley on Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country. Since then, they have been crafting exceptional sparkling wine drawing from the diverse richness of our lands and benefiting from the expertise of their bold and passionate winemaking community worldwide. A visit to their winery provides an opportunity to immerse one in one of the most extensive collections of méthode traditionnelle sparkling wines in Australia, all while enjoying the breathtaking views of the surrounding Yarra Ranges. As we indulge their bubbly in one single flight of 3 bubblies, it truly immersed me in exploring their craft; one can also savour delectable dining options ranging from a chef's restaurant menu and also share plates in their lounge bar. The place was packed when I visited and I could see tons of well-heeled tourists and locals in their midst enjoying their sparklings, having some nice cheese platter and soaking in the setting afternoon sun! 9th Stop - Joey & Helen Estate Our final and last stop for this regional trip, before heading back to Melbourne city was Joey & Helen Estate; It's a beautiful story that started in 2010 with the purchase of a 200 acre farm on Spring Lane, in the heart of the Yarra Valley. Their cellar door is open seven days a week, from 10am to 5pm, and we visited them just before they closed, and the wine manager in charge took me on lovely tasting cellar door, and introduction to their wines, store and wineyard. Helen & Joey owners story is one of grit, determination, legacy, immigration, love of the land and a rich history of farming. To them the unicorn symbolises the softness and elegance they hope is reflected in their wines combined with the courage to have it’s own personality. Much passion, hard work and expertise has gone in to producing premium fruit across this stunning 200 acre farm that brings each visitor a cellar door brimming with unique tastes and diverse stories. As we were taken through the auspices and tasting flight, we enjoyed especially the Alicorns followed by the Wayward Childs, the Re-ems and the Inaras!

In the heart of the Yarra Valley region is a dynamic and refined F&B and Wine establishment termed Hubert Estate, that is led by by the wonderful team of Ryan Hospitality, who is responsible for creating Michelton Winery and Nagambie Brewery & Distillery. This fascinating new Estate is designed by Cera Stribley and it juxtaposes the elements of food and wine together in a cellar-door, boutique wine store, event space and restaurant (heaps of people during lunch time, from even the close-by locals and corporate crowd) along with an art gallery, and with key plans to introduce accommodation and spa-wellness treatments by 2024. The restaurant, termed Quarters, sit 220 people and is led by dynamic chef, Michael Smith, who take on a modern curated approach, with finesse and European styled cuisine, exuding flavours, structure and fine ingredients. What drove me super-inspired and happy is the wonderful hospitality given by their chief custodian manager, who service attitude and personality is the best I have experienced whilst on my 16-day day in Australia, this July 2023.. Quarters boasts of a custom-built charcoal grill along with a fine-looking Italian-made Marana pizza oven, and we can see the culinary team busy with this apparatus whilst we were dining there, whilst we tasted an entire plethora of snack-lunch plates along with pizza and pasta, along with a superb smokey aroma that permeates the restaurant. With a menu full of familiar Modern Australian and European inspired dishes, Quarters is the perfect spot for foodies, families, and everyone in between. The Char grilled tiger prawns, so delicately done with chimchurri and charred lime was a sure winner, bursting with flavor and freshness! The dirty martini kingfish ceviche prepared with green olives and smoked caviar drove us wanting for more, with a clean slate of structure and balance. The cajun spiced baked cauliflower lightly toasted with parmesan and labneh, was just a culinary delight. The braised lamp campanelle tasted so good, as I never imagined lamb to be prepared in this format, so the melangé of roasted tomato and pangrattato became a superb dish. The grass fed Southern Rangers scotch fillet weighing 280 grams was delivered with harisa and charred baby gem lettuce - simply exquisite! It was such a delight to dine here, and it has and will become one of my favourite restaurants in Australia, modern, trendy, classique yet simply tasty and memorable! The wine style is very apparent notably with Pinot Noir which is so trendy now along with the estate's Cabernet Savignon and Chardonnay varietals, so the portions were good and wonderful and we very much enjoyed them along with our food pairing!

- LUCE by Davide Giacomelli
Rosette Media Tasting Panel Rating : 9.3/10 LUCE ON THE PRODUCE, LUCE ON THE CRAFT, LUCE ON YOUR PLATE. Traditional Italian cuisine meets purity and simplicity in an art form - where flavours, taste, structure and freshness juxtapose with seasonal produce, colour, warmth, familiarity and creativity. The culmination of many years of training are conveyed in a distinctive menu that is characteristic of modern innovation in Italian cuisine. Chef de Cuisine Davide Giacomelli’s training under the tutelage of multiple Michelin-starred chefs throughout his career pays homage to his initial love affair - the sight, scent and flavours of classic Italian cooking at his father’s restaurant in the quaint town of Sirmione, ‘the pearl’ of Lake Garda. Davide has gained experience working at different restaurants, including Michelin starred restaurants Trattoria Vecchia Lugana, La Speranzina Restaurant & Relais and Villa Cortine Palace Hotel in Italy; he also worked in Monaco with one Michelin-starred restaurant Le Vistamar, located inside Hôtel Hermitage. Subsequently, he moved to Paris and worked with Le Diane, a one-Michelin starred restaurant, and also at Le Meurice Alain Ducasse, a three- Michelin-starred restaurant. Chef Davide challenged me on my rating score when we visited him one quaint noon time, and the type of audit rating that I would bestow upon him, given my many years of hospitality, in fine cuisine with a multitude of food tastings, and opening boutique hotels all over Asia; I like this sort of confidence in a culinary chef, it shows that there is no limit, as that means he understands technique, delivery, cooking methods, temperature - key traits that govern a superior dish! A-la Carte Menu You can have the choice of a semi-buffet lunch that goes for $48++ per adult and $22++ per child or you can go straight to the a la carte menu, which was our natural choice. We were tempted by the Crudo di Capesante, which was delivered in a bed of carpaccio garnished with horseradish, celery and daikon on top of seasoned Hokkaido scallop, neatly and thinly sliced pieces; the sharing from Chef Davide, on this dish, make it more tasty, and super exquisite. Next, we had another starter, the Polpo e Ceci, I get fascinated when I see the way octopus is cooked and presented in Spanish and Italian restaurants, so when this was brought to us - nicely done is classique Sicilian style, cooked and pan-roasted with chickpea puree (what a delightful mash) and fresh salad - it was crispy on the outside, almost burnt taste but not roasted black, yet tender on the bite, a testament to Chef Davide's expression and culinary expertise. Following this, we ordered the Acquerello Lobster, which comprise a lovely round dish of Carnaroli rice that is cooked for hours to absorb the natural goodness of lobster stock from a Boston Lobster; honestly, the best risotto I have eaten in my many years of gourmet premium tasting and degustation! Our Secondi, which is always my highlight in any Italian restaurant, was their Entrecote di Wagyu Australiano MB6-7 weighing 200g, packed with juicy split jus, and nicely pan-seared to medium rare, was a "Carrara" Wagyu beef entrecote that is cooked a la planca, with sufficient marbling, overspilling with that nice fatty ensemble tucked with a tender meat resonance. We had the choice of one or two contorni (side dishes), so we chose one which was termed Asparagi - aptly Asparagus prepared in two styles - the pairing was absolute with the marbling cut of the MB6 - Just Marvelous! Following the starters, risotto and secondi, we didn't have any more space for the pastas, the pizzas and other super palatable dishes on the menu; we didn't even have space for dessert, so that means we have to come back again, which was the whole idea! International Champagne Brunch Buffet On every Sunday and first Saturday of each month between 12 to 3pm, LUCE presents an enticing relaunch of its popular Italian or Frnehc Champagne Brunch; an expanded selection of international flavours with highlights on Italian specialities. Diners can truly embark on a gastronomic journey that transcends borders, embracing flavours from various cuisines while savouring the beloved Italian dishes that have made the restaurant a culinary favourite. Along with Live Music or DJ set with cool trendy vibe music, the Sunday brunch comes with an unlimited array of seafood, comprising of premium snow crab leg, freshly shucked oysters and mussels, Boston lobster and tiger prawns, a wide selection of tipples including Aperol Spritz, Prosecco, Champagne. In the Cheese room, there is a wide selection of Italian imported cheese and cold cuts, together with fresh honey and hand tossed Italian pinsas, and in the meat corner, there are meat carvings of roasted Angus beef striploin, roasted chestnuts, Orecchia di' Elefante Lombardy's signature veal chop, Italian beef stew, egg a L'Amatriciana. In the dessert selectione, there is the Luce-Misu, Nutella Bomboloni, chunchy choux pastries. We were very pleased with the dynamic spread, with a huge diversity of Italian, International and some local delights like the Old Cucumber Pork Rib Soup, which was absolutely tasty, being a Cantonese (who drinks soup on a daily basis), and this to me actually went very well with the seafood on display, and meats that were in full abundance, the Italian spreads were so juicy and tasty, and truly reminiscent of an era gone by, traditionelle la formidable! Adults $168++ with free flow Bauget-Jouette Champagne, Aperol Spritz and selected cocktails and wines $148++ with free flow Prosecco, Peroni Beer, and soft drinks $108++ with free flow soft drinks, juices, coffee and tea Children $38++ for children aged between 3 to 5 years old $68++ for children aged between 6 to 11 years old Chef Davide invites guests to experience an authentic Italian dining experience at the InterContinental® Singapore. either a la Carte or Champagne Brunch, go check it out! it's superb!

- Man Fu Yuan x Irish Duck Company - Best of Irish Showcase
Rosette Media Tasting Panel Rating : 9/10 From 1 October to 15 November 2023, Man Fu Yuan and Irish Duck Company will showcase three 6-course menus, each showcasing some of the finest produce Ireland has to offer. Irish Duck Company is revered amongst serious food connoisseurs as the sole purveyor of the world-famous Silver Hill Duck in Asia. In partnership with Man Fu Yuan, Irish Duck Company recently introduced the exquisite John Stone Dry-Aged Beef and Pork products and it will be the first time that all three products will be presented in one menu in Singapore. Executive Chinese Chef Aaron Tan has crafted distinct set menus, each an opulent celebration of Irish cuisine, using the best of Irish produce from the Irish Duck Company and we had the brilliant opportunity of tasting and sampling some of their lovely creations before it opened to the general public and hotel guests, so we were simply thrilled when we hopped over one evening to meet the culinary and marketing team along with the folks from the Irish Embassy and IDC. Under the visionary leadership of Executive Chinese Chef Aaron Tan, Man Fu Yuan continually strives to deliver lovely culinary experiences and Chef Aaron's unwavering commitment to excellence is evident in his relentless pursuit of the finest ingredients and cooking style and this allows diners to indulge in uniquely crafted experiences that transcend the ordinary, setting Man Fu Yuan apart as a beacon of gastronomic innovation. Man Fu Yuan remains at the forefront of redefining the boundaries of Cantonese fine dining, guided by Chef Aaron's unwavering dedication to culinary perfection, and one of our favourite dining places for Cantonese cuisine in Singapore! Irish Duck Company, the exclusive distributor of the world-famous Silver Hill Duck in Asia, is renowned for providing the "wagyu of duck" to fine-dining establishments and luxury hotels globally. "In Singapore, Irish produce is relatively new and offers an exceptionally high level of quality. Ireland, known for its exceptional agricultural practices, boasts some of the world's finest produce due to its pristine land, abundant water resources, and advanced farming techniques. The meticulous care invested in animal breeding further ensures consistently high-quality products, reflecting the company's dedication to delivering excellence in every aspect of their offerings," shares Joel Lim of the Irish Duck Company (IDC), highlighting the partnership's aim to promote Irish meat and produce in the country with the support of the Irish Government. Alongside Silver Hill Duck, the Irish Duck Company is set to introduce the exquisite John Stone Dry-Aged Beef and Hampshire Pork in Singapore, marking the very first occasion where all three of these exceptional products will grace a single menu in Singapore. As such, Chef Aaron Tan has crafted three meticulous set menus that will be available to mark this beautiful collaboration, each representing an opulent celebration of Irish cuisine, super lovely! "In this exciting partnership with the Irish Duck Company, I am embarking on a journey to weave the rich tapestry of premium Irish meats into the intricate fabric of traditional flavoursand techniques. This collaboration offers an extraordinary opportunity to craft culinaryexperiences that seamlessly fuse tradition with international finest quality ingredients, offering our diners a distinctive taste of Ireland's finest brought to life in a Cantonese way." says Chef Aaron. He shares his passion on various statements as he takes us through our menu tasting for the evening. The artistry of Irish produce is brought to LIVE at Man Fu Yuan as they showcase their finest offerings from the esteemed Irish Duck Company through three exclusive set menus, each with a different symphony of opulent flavours. We sampled the Elegant Set Menu priced at $228++ per person, and were fascinated with the presentation, the taste, the ingredients, the style of cooking, and the way each dish was shared and a detailed explanation given, that depicts the tremendous effort put in my Chef Aaron and his team, in preparing the menu, which depicted each dish in a simple format on the tasting menu in 5 main headers (bolded). We are given a lovely welcome drink to prepare our palates first, and then we had our first course Appetizer, which comprise of the John Stone Irish smoked salmon flower, wasabi aioli, along with the Chilled cherry vine tomatoes with crab meat, and Chilled John Stone Dry-Aged beef aged-citrus honey soya sauce and sesame seed - the mix was incredibly tasty! For Soup, we had the Braised golden bird's nest with golden pumpkin superior stock; it was exquisitely presented and as a Cantonese who drinks superior soup on a daily basis, I can simply testify to the work executed in delivering this yummy soup, full of stock taste. The Bird's nest was separately added and we had the self-service option, so it gave us the opportunity to try the soup, with and without the Nest option. We then had the Vegetable which hit the right tasting notes with a wok-fried John Stone Irish lamb loin melangé with a good dice of Sarawak black pepper sauce and tossed with a humble Hong Kong kai-lan - the presentation and taste was sufficiently flowing with prime goodness. We truly immersed ourselves in the sublime tenderness of their slow-braised Irish Hampshire Pork Belly, which exudes a brilliant testament to the artistry of Irish gastronomy. For the Pork Dish, the Braised Irish Hampshire pork belly was tempted along with a South Africa 5-head abalone, which brought about a value distinction to the dish, as we revelled in the expertly prepared dish to taste the overflowing Irish marbling in the pork belly, just sumptuous beyond belief! When it came to the Noodles dish (as humble as it sounds), it actually consists of Chinese ramen (which was done with a decent al dente bite, as I am a noodle lover) with rock lobster (powerful), Silver Hill Irish Duck (which was blended and fitted well) along with superior XO sauce. We just succumbed to the enchanting aroma and exquisite flavours of their perfectly roasted-smoked Silver Hill Irish Duck, with that super fresh Lobster, marvellous! As we went to the last course of the menu tasting which was Dessert, it didn't taste or look ordinary, as you can assess and see that this "aburi-looking" Oven-baked mango pudding brought about a nice finish to the entire course; the overall menu fitted well and not super filling, but yet portioning was just nice, so we loved it! Immaculate! So patrons are encouraged to booking this limited time menu that is Available from 1 October to 15 November 2023 Lunch Weekdays 12:00pm to 3:00pm Last order 2:30pm Weekends and Public Holidays 11:30am to 3:00pm 1st seating: 11:30am to 1pm (Last order 12:30pm) 2nd seating: 1:30pm to 3pm(Last order 2:30pm) Dinner 6:00pm to 10:00pm Last order 9:30pm The limited time only set menus are available at Man Fu Yuan, InterContinental Singapore, from 1 October to15 November.

Madagascar vanilla pods complement the sweetness of the ex-sherry casks, Caribbean coconuts add an exotic creaminess, and Jamaican wild ginger contributes a spicy freshness. This careful curation leaves you with a rum that evokes notes of dark chocolate, creamy caramel, and a rich mix of spices with every sip. Just immaculate and driven to perfection with every sip! Versatility in Every Bottle Developed over three years with 90 different experiments to produce Canerock Jamaican Spiced Rum’s current recipe, each spice is individually infused to ensure each level of flavour is done justice.

- The Hair Shop
Origins & Background The Hair Shop commenced their creative hairdressing salon back in 1986, and they have a wide range of clientele, from celebrities and royalty to white-collar workers and students. The founders Sam Koh and Gina Lau met in their early 20s at a hair salon named Mosche (pronounced moosh), which was a renowned salon back in those days, and after several years, they left and started The Hair Shop. The Hair Shop, its staff and owners, strive for a constant reinvention of existing styles and techniques. They are always on the lookout for the latest products and treatment techniques, and often reflect on a way to weave in the old with the new. Even with the constantly changing fashion trends, expect to be given a hairstyle that will suit not just your style, but also your personality. Combined with their lengthy experience in the industry, customers can always rely on their expertise for a fresh look, and for thorough hair care. Personalities I spoke with both of them, and noted Gina's superb personality and her eagerness to please and exceed the creative expectations from their clientele, and also enjoyed speaking with Sam, who gave me a good sharing of his journey in the hair and design world, including interior design and art pieces which has shaped his creative mind. Gina built her career in the Singaporean fashion industry and is a respected and admired individual. She has travelled the world as singer Sandy Lam's hairstylist for various shows and concerts in Beijing, Hong Kong, Taiwan and the United States, and her work has dominated Singapore's fashion magazine covers, being prominently featured in major magazines such as Her World and Female. She was also heavily involved in the Elite Asia Pacific Models Award in Shanghai in 2006. Sam has been involved and worked with international product companies such as Wella, P&G and L'Oreal in their many product launches, shows and seminars over the years, and his artistic flair helped him to create and design styles for theatrical productions— namely Dick Lee's Nagraland, staged in both Singapore and Japan. He has judged numerous hair competitions, taken part in hair shows, and conducted various seminars in the Asia Pacific. Sam has also had the privilege of working with visiting top fashion designers, as well as styling supermodel Naomi Campbells' hair for the opening of Valentino's flagship store in Singapore.

Styled the Taiwanese singer Tracy Huang (黄莺莺)when she performed in Singapore, and followed to her shows in Hong Kong as well. Gina was invited by the Queen of Brunei to style her hair, and would later work on the princesses as well. I become sort of a “resident stylist” for the royal family, which was a huge privilege. Styled the hair of the models for the annual cover of Her World magazine. She had worked with the late Tan Yoong, who was a very respected local fashion designer best known for his bridal gowns. For me, this collaboration was big deal for anyone working in this industry. Gina served as a guest judge for a hair competition in Singapore (I recall vaguely the name was “Golden Scissors”) 1989 Served as Dick Lee’s stylist for his Mad Chinaman tour and his wedding (to Jacintha Abishegandan) as well, among many, many other occasions. 2000s The whole shop worked on the Elite Model search in Shanghai, which was a huge show by the model agency Elite that flown in models from all around the world.They serviced all the participating models for their runway walks, and other appearances.

Styled Hong Kong Heavenly Idol Aaron Kwok when he performed in a concert in Singapore. 2004 They did Sandy Lam’s hair on several occasions, notably her 2004 tour, her award presentation in Hong Kong, a magazine feature in Singapore and her MTV album cover in Taiwan. Featured in many newspapers and magazines throughout the years 2007 Sam and Gina authored 'The Hair Book' published by Marshall Cavendish, a step-by-step guide to personal hair care, styling, treatments, and more. Testimonials We have gathered some testimonials from recent clients, to give an indication of the creative styling work from both Gina and Sam, and also their team of hairstylists Pamela Kwan "A good hairstylist is one who makes you look stunning, trendy and attractive. Tried many salons, from renowned to mediocre. Finally I relented to try Gina (The Hair Shop). She has been persuading me all these years to have a change. All thanks to her, I not only love her cut but Sam’s choice of hair color too. I get compliments from family and friends all the time. That’s what you want to achieve and hear. All thanks to the team and friendly staffs for making me look so fabulous" Ivy Loong "Gina has been making our entire family look good for many, many years! She is a warm and friendly hairstylist who has been a big part of our lives. She has cut my children’s hair since they were toddlers. Now having grown up into their teens and early 20s, they also only look to her to giving them the up-to-date hairstyles. Besides my generation, she is also styling the young and next generation with her bespoke style. Everyone in her beautiful shop are professionals in their own field for many years. Service is great with wonderful hair wash and state of the art colouring / dyeing procedures. Gina is always on the cutting edge of new hair products and procedures that help enhance the clients’ crowns of glory" Adeline Mow "A good friend long ago said I have to try this stylist named Gina Lau. That was way back when Hair Shop was still at the old Promenade shopping mall. She raved about Gina’s cut and so I had to try. And I am so glad I did. Gina’s cut from day 1 has always drawn positive comments from family and friends. Her care and colouring of my tresses through the years has been impeccable. So much so, not only has my mother been coming but my 2 daughters and now their children as well. Yes, a four generation story, a story we are all very proud of! A big shout out to Gina and Sam’s team too - the service here at the Hair Shop has been nothing short of amazing" Judy Lau "Gina has been cutting and styling my hair for over 35 years. During the course over these 35 years, I have tried a few other hair stylists but they could not match her skills in cutting and styling hair. I always return to her as I realize she knows how to cut and style hair that would suit her clients best. Also I always gets compliments from friends and acquaintances on my different hair styles. She also has great knowledge on hair treatments that would benefit the health of my hair. Besides Gina I’m also very satisfied with her colorist Sam and nail technician Melissa. Overall the services and equipments of ‘Hair Shop’ are excellent" Cheryl Yap "I had the pleasure of being a client at The Hair Shop for almost 20 years, and I can confidently say that Gina is an exceptional creative director/stylist. Her passion for hair and dedication to her craft truly shines in every visit. Gina’s expertise and attention to detail ensures that every client leaves the salon feeling fabulous. I trust her so much such that my entire family visits her salon to get their hair done, and there’s never been once where she has disappointed. The warm and welcoming atmosphere at The Hair Shop, under Gina’s leadership, makes it a top-notch salon experience. I highly recommend Gina and her team for anyone seeking exceptional hair care and styling" Jocelyn Tay "For nearly two decades, Gina has been the mastermind behind my hair's impeccable style. Known for my meticulous standards, I have a passion for looking my best, yet I lack the time to keep up with the ever-changing hair trends. Gina has consistently stood as the guardian of my hair, displaying an exceptional ability to manage both its style and colour. What sets Gina apart is her deep understanding not only of my hair but also of my personality and style preferences. She has an uncanny knack for knowing precisely when to gently encourage me to step outside my comfort zone, resulting in fresh styles and new hair colors. My heartfelt appreciation extends to Gina, Sam, and the entire team at The Hair Shop. Each visit is characterized by their quiet confidence in providing exceptional service, making me feel at ease without ever becoming overbearing" Vincent and Gwen "When it comes to styling our hair and getting a hair cut, Hair Shop is the only place that we as a family have in mind. Vincent has been getting his hair cut for over 35 years while I have been a loyal and faithful customer for almost 30 years. As for Tristan and Iain- ever since they were born and now into adulthood. Gina and Sam have continued to be at the forefront of hairdressing all these years and look set to continue as leaders of their profession long into the future" Personal Testimony I had the good fortune of meeting both of them and working with them to create a brand new look, style and hair colour in my recent visit to their gorgeous salon! Gina advised me to maintain a certain look and cut for my hair, and Sam shared that I could actually adopt a new hair colour code 28, a blue-black metallic tinge to achieve a modern and trendy look - the result was absolutely stunning, wonderful and captivating and it earned many accolades and bravos" from my many fans in the media world!
