Beauty Isabella Leong

Isabella Leong (pinyin: Liáng Luò Shĩ) is a Hong Kong-based singer, actress, and model of Portuguese and Chinese descent. She is considered a symbol of a new generation of actresses in Hong Kong's entertainment industry. She can speak Cantonese, Portuguese, Mandarin and English.

Isabella Leong was born on June 23, 1988. Her father died when Leong was six months old. Leong's family struggled, as her Portuguese mother had to work hard to raise both her and her elder sister, but her father´s Chinese family always did what they could to support Isabella. They remained in Macau until Isabella was 15 years old.

To help her mother support the family, Leong joined the Emperor Entertainment Group at 12 years old and began to work as a teenage model. She later turned to singing and released her debut album, Isabella, at 16 years of age. Isabella did not achieve the success hoped for and Leong turned to acting instead. In 2004, Leong appeared as a guest star in the TV series Sunshine Heartbeat. In 2005, she made her film debut in The Eye 10 and also appeared in Bug Me Not, for which she was nominated as Best New Performer in the Hong Kong Film Awards.

In 2006 Leong won the leading role in the highly successful Isabella. The film allowed her to win a number of award nominations -- Best Actress at the Hong Kong Film Awards, the Fantasporto and the Hong Kong Film Awards, and an award at Golden Bauhinia Awards for Best New Performer. The film also won the Silver Berlin award at the Berlin Film Festival for Best Film Music. Best of all, the film led to an increased level of public recognition and admiration, especially from the China community.

Beauty Fiona Yeun

Fiona Yuen (traditional simplified pinyin: Yuán Cǎiyún) was born in January 20, 1976 in Cologne, Germany. She went to Hong Kong and took part in the 1996 Miss Hong Kong Pageant, where she was second runner-up and won the Miss International Goodwill award. She can speak German, French, English and Cantonese fluently. She is currently under TVB, a local Hong Kong television station, as a regular actress and program presenter.

In reality, during the seven years that Fiona has been in the industry, she has kept a good girl image and even rumours have been a rarity. However, as an artiste, this can be an obstacle as you get less press coverage for a start, especially with the waves of newcomers every year, if she has little noise then it is easy for the audience to forget her. Has she ever thought about having a breakthrough? Fiona says: "Of course, but I just hope that this breakthrough is in my performance, by playing my characters well or letting people see my improvement in the documentary side."

When Fiona was asked whether it is better for girls to be able to cook, she laughs: "Knowing how to cook is an advantage, but the women of today are too clever and don't necessarily have to go into the kitchen. (What is your best dish?) Western food, but I really want to learn how to make Chinese food, because it incorporates steaming, frying, boiling, braising and there are a lot of skills that will also be very interesting to learn." Fiona usually loves to make soup, often making Wai Sai Gei Ji Lean Pork Soup and adding Northern Almonds, Honey Dates and Preserved Peel to give the soup a sweet, delicious flavour. She endorses it strongly: "This is an economical and hearty soup, give it a try!"
