Mullewa Muster & Rodeo: Another sell-out event credited to surge in popularity with younger generation
For three years in a row, the Mullewa Muster and Rodeo has been a sell-out and the organisers credit the surge in popularity of the outback bash to the 'TikTok generation'. It was a family-friendly weekend of thrills and spills last weekend for 3500 people from across Australia, donning their best leather boots, denim jeans and cowboy hats. It was the 11th year of the Mullewa Muster and Rodeo and organiser Caitlin Bryant says it keeps getting better and better. 'We've seen a really big demographic shift over the last three years; post-COVID, we have started to appeal to a much younger crowd,' she said. 'It's definitely that TikTok generation. Country and western is so popular at the moment, we were worried that maybe it was a trend, but then you sell out three years in a row and it only gets more popular.' The wild weekend in the bush included bull riding, barrel racing and steer wrestling. As the sun set the crowd flocked to the main field for a country music festival featuring Christie Lamb and Reuben Styles from Peking Duck. The night was capped off with the crowd camping under the stars.

How Instagram influencer who speaks Hakka Chinese honours her unique family roots
At first sight, you probably would not guess that Jephina Lueche could speak Hakka, a Chinese language variety most widely spoken in China's south, let alone that she teaches it to others. Advertisement But the content creator of Chinese and Guyanese descent has been giving short lessons on basic but useful everyday Hakka phrases on social media for over four years, wowing tens of thousands of followers along the way. An Instagram video of her speaking Hakka while sharing Peking duck with her multicultural relatives has racked up more than 2 million views. Other 'Hakka 101' clips, in which she covers practical phrases like 'good night', 'I like you' and 'don't speak', have also generated much online interest and reaction, as have her culture-focused videos, earning her more than 90,000 followers. The video that really kicked things off for her was posted in February 2021. It was one of her first Instagram videos detailing her family and features footage of her late Chinese grandmother playing with Lueche's now seven-year-old son.

Acclaimed chef returns to Celtic Manor with new concept
An acclaimed chef has made his return to an iconic Newport resort. Larkin Cen, who reached the finals of MasterChef in 2013, is back at the Celtic Manor Resort, where his culinary journey began. The Cardiff-born chef, who was originally trained as a lawyer, swapped the courtroom for the kitchen after his success on the BBC show. He went on to open Cen at Celtic Manor Resort in 2016, a bold Asian dining concept that quickly earned recognition for its fusion of traditional Chinese flavours and contemporary flair. Following a successful three years at the five-star resort, Larkin expanded his culinary vision by creating his own fast casual noodle and bao bar brand chain, now called XO. He later appeared on The Great British Menu before returning to the Celtic Manor Resort in 2023 with The Monkey King, a pop-up dining experience inspired by the legendary Chinese novel Journey to the West. Nearly a decade since his first venture at Celtic Manor, Larkin returns with a fresh new vision for his residency at the resort's renamed Asian restaurant – PAD by Larkin Cen. Guests can look forward to a vibrant, refined menu, shaped by Larkin's journey from his parents' Chinese takeaway kitchen to national TV screens. A standout feature of the new menu is the Legendary Peking Duck Experience (£60 per person), an indulgent celebration of Peking duck, where the whole duck is served and cooked classically. The à la carte menu also showcases innovative Asian tapas, large plates and a Curries of Asia section plus set sharing menus offering diners the chance to sample a range of Larkin's signature dishes. Chef Larkin Cen said: "Returning to Celtic Manor Resort feels like coming full circle. "My vision has always been to take the traditional dishes I grew up with and elevate them into something beautiful, combining authenticity with creativity. "This new menu is a celebration of classic Asian flavours, presented in a fresh and exciting way and served in the wonderful surroundings of the resort. "I'm looking forward to returning to my roots and picking up where we left off." Celtic Manor Resort operations director David Griffin added: "We're delighted to welcome back such a talented and inspiring chef and look forward to this exciting new chapter in our shared culinary journey with the launch of PAD by Larkin Cen. "We know Larkin will create a truly special dining experience for our guests to enjoy." Larkin's new menu is available at PAD by Larkin Cen, with dinner service available from 6pm to 9.30pm.
