Monaco’s Song Qi Restaurant – Curating Food as Art
Song Qi is a gourmet Chinese restaurant in Monaco. The establishment is well-known for its intimate surrounding. The decor is a great example between modernity, luxury and timelessness. Much have been written about Alan Yau’s restaurant (Michelin-starred chef of Hakkasan fame) Song Qi since it opened its door in Monaco back in 2014. Yes, it is true that the establishment was named one of the best 17th restaurant in the world by Casa Vogue Brasil. Yes, it’s also true that the scrumptious Chinese gourmet food found at Song Qi is unique in the sense that it is the first of its kind to be opened in the principality.
Song Qi is the brainchild of two of the world’s top restaurateurs: Alan Yau and Riccardo Giraudi. But little has been said (until now) about how their elevated cuisine is able to transform Asian flavors, and Mediterranean products into edible works of art.
Alan Yau and Riccardo Giraudi’s artful collaboration brought to Monte-Carlo the only offer that had not yet been created: a luxurious Chinese gourmet restaurant with quality cuisine. 
Song Qi was named one of the 17th best restaurant in the world by Casa Vogue Brasil.
Song Qi’s signature dishes, include their famous whole Peking duck, with homemade pancakes, cucumber and spring onion. That particular dish requires 45 minutes of preparation. 
Gastronomy paradise: Once can relish in the superbly presented dishes at Michelin-star chef Alan Yau’s restaurant Song Qi. 
Homemade Dim Sum, jasmine tea smoked pork ribs, mango crispy beef fillet, honey roasted char sui pork, crispy dragon shrimps are all in the menu at Song Qi. 
Part of the experience of dining at this restaurant (besides savoring their delicate artful dishes), is their glamorous surrounding. The decor, sleek and luxurious, reflects the spirit of Shanghai’s golden age of the 1930’s. - Aspen, France, Hotels, London, Luxury Hotels, Monaco, Morocco, New York, Paris, Tangier, The Weekender, United Kingdom

Classic Cars Fit for a Prince
Owning a piece of history has never been easier than it is right now. Over 38 vehicles out of more than 100 from the Royal family of Monaco are up for grabs during an auction from Heritage which takes place today, July 26. You may be wondering why are these irreplaceable rides are on the auction block ….High Retro: This Porsche 928 is considered the high-lights of the sale, with a reported estimate of $317,000
According to Prince Albert – a huge collector of classic cars – he’s simply ready to “add some new models to a collection which is so very dear to my heart”. What’s great about this sale is that while there are a number of classic cars among the lot, overall, the vehicles on offer are what they call ‘real world’ models which are affordable to the man on the street. The 1925 Citroën (pictured below) is estimated between $15,500 to $19,000. Heritage described the sale as a ‘unique opportunity to acquire a motor car from one of the most well known collections, from the most famous and prestigious Principalities’.
True Provenance: 1925 Citroën 5 HP torpédo Trèfle, Super-culasse from Prince Albert II of MonacoPhotos via Daily Mail UKDesigned initially as a replacement for the Porsche 911, the 928 S has a 4.7-litre V8 engine which Heritage Auctions described as a ‘very fine tourer’. Prince Albert II was quoted as saying: ‘The Princes of Monaco have always been passionate about motor cars. Prince Pierre initiated the Grand Prix in 1929, and competed in it, in a Torpedo. My father, Prince Rainier, took over the development of the race, which has today become one of the most prestigious events in the world.”NOTE: Please notify us directly, if you believe that certain images on this post are alleged to infringe upon the copyrights of others, according to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

Les Monégasques
of Grace Kelly?
or will she strike out on her own, and start developing her own “brand”, sort of speak?
Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene of Monaco reported $58 million wedding was staged as to “rival” Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier III, but history will note the asterisk that remained on their marriage, as Charlene almost became a run away bride, and rumors
of more paternity tests in the works for Prince Albert.
Yes, Princess Charlene projects a serene personality which sometimes can be mistaken as being slightly austere, but pensive. Which is good, because it is most likely who she is, and why should anyone want her to change that?
As for Grace Kelly, well, Princess Grace remains in our memory as majestic and ultra chic.
In modern times, her sense of style and savoir fair is often replicated, but alas, never duplicated.* Don’t forget to participate in our End of Summer Giveaways, listed here on High End Weekly™.
