HONG KONG: At a recent event in Hong Kong, actress Crystal Fung addressed all those rumours floating around about a disagreement with her good friend, fellow beauty queen Louisa Mak, according to The Star. Photo: Instagram/Louisa Mak
Fung, who's 31 and actually won the Miss Hong Kong crown back in 2016, flat-out denied those rumours. Mak, 33, won Miss Hong Kong a year earlier in 2015. Rumours of falling out
According to the beauty queen, the misunderstanding came about when a journalist asked if she had visited Mak and her baby. She explained that she simply said she hadn't had the chance yet, but that response sparked rumours of a falling out between them.
'We're all still in touch — we've got a group chat going, and we're actually planning a birthday dinner for next month! We're just trying to figure out a date that works for everyone right now,' she shared, as translated by Jaynestars .
Fung admitted they haven't seen each other in over six months, but she quickly explained it by saying that Louisa Mak has been incredibly busy since getting married and having a baby. See also BTS is the most popular group based on Idol Chart's 'Acha Ranking' No tension between them
'She's just been swamped, really. We're actually trying to plan a get-together so she can catch up with all of us at once, instead of having to meet everyone one by one,' Fung explained, making it clear there's no tension at all between them.
And although both women have moved into the education field, Fung brushed off any talk of competition, saying there's really none of that between them.
'We're just heading in slightly different directions these days,' she said. 'Louisa's really diving deep into early childhood education, and I've been putting my energy into supporting primary and secondary school students — and their parents — on the emotional side of things.' She added that she'd just come from giving a talk at a local secondary school.
When asked if their friendship had shifted, Fung simply replied, 'Nope, our friendship hasn't changed a bit!' Winning Miss Hong Kong

While she has a career in acting, appearing in various TV shows and dramas, she has also been pursuing academic interests. She's actually putting a lot of her energy into offering emotional support to primary and secondary students, and even their parents.
In fact, she recently gave a talk at a secondary school, sharing insights from this very work. This is a different area of focus compared to her friend Louisa Mak, who specialises in early childhood education. Incredibly bright
Louisa Mak Ming-sze, born on December 11, 1991, is a prominent figure in Hong Kong, known for her diverse career as an actress, television host, lawyer, and entrepreneur.
Winning the Miss Hong Kong Pageant in 2015 was truly the moment she first stepped into the spotlight and gained widespread recognition.
Louisa Mak is also incredibly bright; she actually earned a law degree from the prestigious University of Cambridge and even got admitted to the New York Bar in 2018 . See also Selena Gomez might retire from music
After her time in entertainment, she pivoted to the corporate world, working at the consulting giant McKinsey & Company as a junior associate and then an engagement manager from 2019 to 2022.

Durian lovers, rejoice! ‘All Hail the King Durian Fest' is back with an all-you-can-eat buffet starring Musang King, Red Prawn, D24 @ Resorts World Sentosa
Photo: RWS Sentosa SINGAPORE: All right, people, this is not a drill! Musang King, D24, Red Prawn, and other tropical fruits are on the 'All Hail the King Durian Fest' menu—only for six nights this July! Trust us when we say that this is the ultimate combo: Mao Shan Wang (Musang King) + tropical fruits + coconut water + resort vibes = the most epic durian night out you'll have this year. So if you love durian as much as we do (or know someone who does), here's the ultimate treat: Resorts World Sentosa is bringing back its wildly popular durian buffet—and it's more indulgent than ever. Clear your schedules: The Durian Buffet of your dreams is back! Running over two weekends in July (11–13 and 18–20), this exclusive durian feast will take place at The Bay Restaurant inside Adventure Cove Waterpark. Photo: FB/Brendon Chan ( For 90 glorious minutes (6 pm to 7.30 pm), guests can go wild with bottomless servings of Musang King, D24, and Red Prawn durians—arguably three of the most legendary varieties out there. And the price of this fruity splurge? S$268 per person. Worth it? You bet, especially if you're the kind who treats durian season like a national holiday. Booking Details (before it's too late) If you're already drooling, here's everything you need to know: 🗓 Dates: July 11–13 and 18–20 🕕 Time: 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm 📍 Location: The Bay Restaurant, Adventure Cove Waterpark, Resorts World Sentosa 💸 Price: S$268 per person 📲 Booking: Slots are limited, and these events usually sell out fast, so gather your durian squad and book ASAP! And it's not just durian… There's fresh fruit and cooling drinks too! This isn't your usual roadside stall scene. Think chill vibes, resort setting, and tropical fruit galore. Besides the durians (which, let's be honest, are the main event), you'll get to snack on an abundant spread of tropical fruits like rambutan and mangosteen, and may be more—all of them perfect palate cleansers between durian rounds. Photo: Freepik/jcomp To help you stay refreshed, they're serving up a cooling coconut water or the iconic 'Three Legs Cooling Water.' It's the classic go-to for balancing out the 'heatiness' of durian, and every local knows it's a must after a durian feast. Let's talk durians: What's on the table If you're not already convinced, here's a quick Durian 101 on what's being served: Depositphotos/awaygy (for illustration purposes only) Mao Shan Wang (aka Musang King) The rockstar of all durians. Bold, buttery, and packed with punch. If you like your durian bitter-sweet and ultra-creamy, this one's your soulmate. D24 Reliable, balanced, and smooth. Once the top dog before MSW took the throne, D24 is still a fan fave—less intense, but deeply satisfying. Red Prawn Soft, sweet, and a little flirtier than the others. It has a unique reddish tint and melts like custard in your mouth. Beginners tend to love this one. Basically, if you've ever argued over which durian is best, this buffet gives you a chance to settle the score. Or just eat them all and call it a win. Soak it in: Luxe vibes without the street heat Set inside the waterpark's Bay Restaurant, the buffet setting is equal parts breezy and bougie. No need to hunch over on plastic stools or swat away flies—this is durian eating in comfort. It's also perfect for family outings, date nights (for adventurous couples), or a fun treat-yourself weekend with your fruit-loving crew. Plus, you get to skip the durian stall gamble. No guesswork, no bad batches—just good, fresh fruit. Final Bite: Is this even worth it? If you're the kind who counts down to durian season or hoards Mao Shan Wang in your freezer, this buffet is calling your name. You're getting premium fruit, a chill tropical setting, refreshing drinks, and a flavour-packed evening—all rolled into one. So yeah! This is definitely not just another buffet. It's a full-on durian fantasy with a five-star twist. But wait! Why are people so crazy about durians anyway, you may ask Love it or loathe it, durian is one fruit that refuses to be ignored. Nicknamed the 'King of Fruits,' it's known for its powerful aroma, spiky exterior, and rich, custard-like flesh that delivers a complex flavour—sweet, bitter, and slightly savoury—all at once. Photo: Facebook/Uncle Tan Orchard Stingless Bee Farm For many Southeast Asians, durian isn't just food; it's an experience. From childhood memories of eating it by the roadside with family, to late-night durian hunts during peak season, this fruit has deep cultural roots. Part of the obsession comes from its seasonality. Durians aren't available all year round, and when they do appear, fans rush to get their fix before they're gone. It's that fleeting nature—like cherry blossom season in Japan—that adds to the hype. And with varieties like Mao Shan Wang or Musang King commanding premium prices, durian has become something of a luxury indulgence, sparking debates over which breed is best and where to find the 'creamiest' bite. The intensity of durian's smell and taste also creates a kind of cult appeal. First-timers are often overwhelmed, but those who get hooked are hooked for life. It's not unusual for die-hard fans to travel across the island or even across borders just for a trusted stall or farm. Whether you're Team Musang King or Team Red Prawn, one thing's for sure: once you fall in love with durian, there's no going back. Just don't do anything crazy like what a tourist from China did after she ate a durian in a local hotel unless you want to be slapped with an S$200 cleaning fee. The woman then took to social media to warn others so they don't make the same costly mistake.
