On Monday's programme, we talked about the fine wines and culinary delights that will be featured at this year's Wine & Dine Festival. A wine expert and a restaurateur previewed the SAR's signature gastronomical spectacle, that'll turn the Central Harbourfront into a world-class epicurean hotspot later this month.
After the break, we spoke to a former jockey about his transformation into a professional runner, and how he plans to raise awareness and funds for the disabled by completing a charity run that will begin in the capital Beijing, and end in Hong Kong.
And finally, a researcher from the Hang Seng University explained her findings on a study that surveyed the behaviour of star chasing.
