Newly crowned “bun king” Kwok Ka-ming clinched victory against eight men by earning 1,131 points, while “bun queen” Janet Kung beat her two other female competitors by securing 446 points.
This year’s contest marked registered nurse and ice climber Kung’s third victory after past triumphs in 2019 and 2024, netting her the prestigious title of “queen of bun queens”.
“Earning the title of queen of bun queens is a milestone for me. After taking part in this game for nine years, I will continue to participate in the race,” the 31-year-old said.
“It is just like a report card of my fitness and attitude every year, allowing me to witness my improvement.”

Kung said she felt more nervous for the bun-scrambling race than when she competes internationally as a climber.
