Crystal Fung Shares Her Favorites for Miss Hong Kong

31-year-old Crystal Fung (馮盈盈) attended a sharing session for the coming Miss Hong Kong Pageant <2025香港小姐競選>, where she shared about her pageant experience as a former winner with the fourteen contestants this year!

Explains Why She Gave Up On a PhD 

Interviewed by the press, Crystal revealed that she thinks well of contestant no. 9 Stacey Chan (陳詠詩), praising her for her outstanding academic qualifications, small face and beautiful smile, which Crystal believes gave her a huge edge over other contestants onscreen.

Crystal, who was crowned winner of 2016 Miss Hong Kong, said, “Very high caliber, not only did the contestants have their own unique selling points, they also each have their own strengths. Singling out contestant no. 9 for having attained a PhD, Crystal expressed awe and admiration for her studiousness, sharing that although she had considered getting one herself, and had done much research to find out more, she shelved her plans as she realized it involved a lot of effort and time, which she felt was not the most opportune time for her.

Lack of Cantonese Fluency A Recurring Issue

As many out of this year’s fourteen contestants did not have a good grasp of the Cantonese language, Crystal expressed her views on whether this linguistic disadvantage would translate into a loss of points. “Actually we’ve seen many contestants whose mother tongue is not Cantonese, but it’s okay as internationalism is an edge. What matters is not whether your Cantonese is fluent but whether you make the effort to present yourself and communicate with the audience,” said Crystal, adding that everyone should put in their utmost effort. As an alumnus, she’s also shared personal tips which she hopes would come in handy, such as what to eat to appear more flattering in general and especially during the swimsuit segment!

Criticized by netizens for appearing bloated and aunty-like during TVB assistant GM Virginia Lok’s (樂易玲) recent birthday party, Crystal explained that she could not help overindulging a little during a time where she attended more social gatherings, pointing out that it was a “very normal” experience everyone would probably have dealt with, and that she is currently working hard to lose the weight through healthy eating and exercise, and has already lost much of the excess weight, looking forward to get back in top condition.
