Throughoutt its fleet, Start Cruises aims to create relaxingg and versatile vacations, enabling you to cast aside isure stress and thoroughly indulge in your leisure time. On board, pick a quiet corner of the ship and enjoy the clear blue sky and warm sea breeze of the early spring, or enjoy the variety of on-board entertainment and themed events. In April 2014, Hong Kong will become the home port of Star Cruises’ SuperStar Virgo, Singapore will become the home of SuperStar Gemini and SuperStar Aquarius will return to Taiwan, with Keelung City as its homeport. Meanwhile, SuperStar Libra will continue to call Penang in Malaysia its home port. In an effort to provide even more enriching Asian experiences to you, Star Cruises is staging an ASEAN food festival, bringing aboard the region’s many colourful cuisines, with popular dishes such as grilled prawns with lemongrass and fenugreek beans from Thailand, and Singapore-style chilli crab. These appetising dishes will enable travellers to get a taste of authentic ASEAN cuisines before heading out on a tour of the actual destinations. The home ports of the Star Cruises’ fleet are famous for their tourist attractions. The Garden City of Singapore, for instance, is known for having lush greenery that will inject fresh air into your journey. Hong Kong, meanwhile, has a vibrant cultural scene. The city’s many museums, art galleries and creative events are major attractions that bring together the region’s art collectors and art lovers. Migrant Chinese culture, meanwhile, has enriched Penang for generations. Its ancestral halls belonging to various Chinese clans are a unique fusion of Chinese and Malaysian architectural styles; those who appreciate historical architecture will certainly not want to miss visiting these attractions. Last, but not least, we hope that such vividly rich content and vibrant scenery will inspire everyone to explore the lesser-known aspects of their destinations. We wish you a truly happy holiday on board Star Cruises.

The annual Dragon Boat Festival, also called Tuen Ng, takes place in June, with races in Asia ranging from 200-metre sprints to high-endurance hauls of up to two-kilometres. More light-hearted events include fancy-dress races, bath tub tournaments and impromptu dance performances. Taipei, Penang and Hong Kong all host races.

The curry should be reasonably saucy but not too thin. A green curry of beef with roti should be salty, spicy, quite thick and oily. The predominant spice note should be quite dry, thanks to the coriander seeds and cumin.” ⪶ど Duangporn Songvisava 虃╗▜ Bo 虄☛ Dylan Jones 䦣䰅䊈 橹╳䷜虇ㄭᾼ㚆╥棗㊮虇␄⎉劌 冐櫤崩╲ᾜ令䠓㹿ゞ儝橮Ҹ IMAGES: Chilli pepper and bay leaves: Getty Images INDIAN Indian mutton curry (right) gets a healthy makeover at the Conrad Hong Kong ᣍᵁ⚡ᵁᙏᐵឯᒖᒞ ᘀᲭᅳᎷ‽ᅴ➦ᑯ᪠ᬌᡱᣋ Thai-style curried ried crab (left) from m KOH, at the Four Seasons asons Resort Koh Samui amui ⛙᭼Ꮘᘵឯᙏ ᙏ ♙ KOHᛵᦤᑨᘀᲭ♙ ᅳᏔ‽ᅴ JAPANESE Pannya Cafe Curry in Osaka and Tokyo 㝴㢻啫 ᨷƱ ᢍᘀᲭ⟞ᛵᐷᐬᘀᲭ ⋀Ꮰᅳጆ‽ᅴᓕᗤᐵឯᣉᗾ ⪶枹╙㤀※䠓 ʥ去 呴ʦ Jones 尹處ʥ㎠↠ㄭ悒╳冐䠓㜖䔊 ᾼ䠋䖍虇☥❀挻㏏㔰䚷䠓欨㜨㢒 ⡯㍘刘槭䠓塚䠌幹ℕ㸉Ҹʦ幹 ⢿悒┩㎥槞吁悒㾀䠓刘㢒䚷悒 ⪩欨㜨Ҹʥℚ⬑䏪儙㢒䚷欨 㜨虇军泩⏖㢒䚷ᾙ⪶捞㜿洽䠓欨 咔ҷⓦ圠╙㹿⢚㸨圠 grachai Ҹʦ 檟も䠓⋸⃜⪶ど▓䮽▓㮲䠓棡 ☥❀拜㖼棭⿇岪䰅處ʥ㹿ゞ棡☥ ❀泩塚丂丘㍘封愲军欨虇㛲䠋㹿 ⢚㸨圠☛欨咔䠓欨☂虇☥❀㷐⏖ 䮯䮏懸ᾼҸ棡☥❀䏪刘拜圓檔䠓 尀虇☥❀䠓☂懢㍘㞾╗♇╗愲虇 䅒䮯㹈䃳虇⁴欨㜨⬑吺咫丌 ☛哃欨䠓欨☂䉉ῊҸʦ www.bolan.co.th Actor, author and all-round renaissance man Takashi Matsuo is a curry aficionado who’s pushing to bring Japan’s curry back to its Indian roots.

In the elaborate Indian cuisines, there are hundreds of spice blends, with cumin, coriander and clove particularly common. Thai curries typically feature fresh herbs rarely used in India, such as lemongrass and kaffir-lime leaves. Malaysian curries, meanwhile, feature fewer fresh herbs but a lot of the same dried spices found in Indian dishes. Turmeric powder, for instance, gives Malaysian curries their distinctive yellow colour. Extra flavour comes from palm sugar and a pungent Southeast Asian shrimp paste called belachan. The Japanese adopted an Anglicised curry during the Meiji period (1868-1912) and use a roux base of butter and flour. The result is thick, sometimes gloppy, and often includes soy sauce, umami and dashi – Japan’s staple fish and kelp stock.

The renowned Roman poet Ausonius lived in the town in the fourth century and lauded the quality of the wine in verse. He owned about 40 hectares of vineyards, and the Château Ausone is named in his memory. The hilly terrain is ideal for merlot and cabernet franc, which have emerged as the dominant varieties on SaintÉmilion’s limestone slopes and gravelly plateaus. Cabernet sauvignon comprises only a small percentage of the grapes grown in the area, as it does not favour this environment. In comparison to the vast estates of the Bordeaux left bank, Saint-Émilion’s producers tend to be small landholders. The local vineyards can be as small as one hectare and are often family-owned operations. As a result, winemaking is frequently a small-scale, handson affair. In fact, producers are often referred to as garagistes — makers of garage wine. The local wine estates are ranked using a unique classification known as the SaintÉmilion Grand Cru Classé system. Established in 1955, it is a three-tiered system comprising Premier Classé A, which contains the four best châteaux; Premier Classé B, a list of the next 14 châteaux; and Grand Cru Classé, which includes the other 64 vineyards. Since 1969, the classifications have been revised every decade or so. The most recent peer-review tasting in 2012 saw Château Cheval Blanc and Château Ausone joined by two newcomers, Château Pavie and Château Angélus, in the top class. Stylistically, all Saint-Émilion wines tend to be opulent and beautifully perfumed, underpinned by fine tannins and supple fruit. The small-scale production and rarity of the wines account for the often high price tags. 儝拡Ҹ⣟㙐⃣⢿亓40⋻榒䠓嗰 喓⢡虇䖍⁙䠓Château Ausone拡 唙ⷀ⁴⌅▜⳦☌▜Ҹ 凥名儝栕⸀⽡弆䠓⢿ヱ懸 䮽㪜merlot╙cabernet franc嗰 喓虇ⴒ↠⢷䦂䇿⸸⣰╙䦑䪺汧┮ ᾙ咐⩾㎟朆虇㎟䉉䜅⢿Ὴ嬐♐䮽Ҹ 厂㝋cabernet sauvignon嗰喓虇 ⢷䜅⢿䚱捞ㄗⶠ虇⡯䉉ᾜ⢷封 Ⓩ䠓䘿⨒ᾼ䚮朆Ҹ 䢇㝋㹱䏍⪩⽵⹇ⴞ⇘戋杙䠓 唙⢡虇凥名儝栕䠓捏拡⛕⪶⪩㞾 ⢿ῊҸ䜅⢿棱䯜㢏䠓嗰喓⢡╹ 㢘ᾏ⋻榒虇拡唙憩⿇䛀ⵅ〼䍮懚虇 ⡯㳳嬞㮰㟽懜ᾜ⪶虇ᾣ⁴㏚⽴⃫ 㫼Ҹ戲⋡䠓捏拡⾺⿇娺䯀䉉Ӂ恙〺 拡捏拡⾺ӂҸ 䜅⢿嗰喓拡唙㢘卹⾀ᾏ⫦䓷䐈 䠓寤亩⏅〵虇▜䉉凥名儝栕⎦亩 拡唙寤亩Ҹ憨↚寤亩⏅㝋1955 〃 ␄䱚虇⌀⎕ᾘ↚䳘亩虇⒔㑻ᾏ亩 䐈䳘A 亩虃⡪↚㢏ℂ拡唙虄虖ᾏ亩 䐈䳘B亩虃♐幹≔㲰A 亩䠓14朢拡 唙虄虖䲻ᾘ亩䠓䐈亩拡唙⏖⒔㑻⌅ ⢚ᾼᾥ亏╳攽凥名 檧 64↚嗰喓拡唙Ҹ卹1969〃弆虇 儝栕⋴戇䉉凾▗⢚ 寤亩㵞ⓐ〃⽵▂㢒捜㜿㰱嬥ᾏ㲰Ҹ 㛨䭠㜖 仓俣ᾥ䛛戉 㢏慠㢮䠓㫼䛛♐寤⪶㢒⢷2012〃 ᛈ 䚱虇⣟ 嗌 㝋 㹱䏍⪩ 厘姛虇仟㤫Château Cheval Blanc Ⓩ〵⪩䀋㹂▂⹇ᾏ⿅䠓⸀ᾧ虇㵞 〃⣖◇イ㜇⁴ⓒ宗䠓㝔ⴱℕ⎿攽 ╙Château Ausone ⋸ⵅ拡唙虇 憲▛Château Pavie╙Château ᾙ虇╒孏╳㯇ら䵘╙滬┄䦂彾Ҹ Angélus ⋸朢㜿⋴戇拡唙虇㬽⎦ 攽䠓╳桔儝㋚虇厖抿慠㨔⪩⋚Ⓩ 㢏汧䳘亩Ҹ ⋶㶲⑱䩔䫃䠓唙⢡䢇㞯㎟弲Ҹ 厂㝋凥名儝栕ℂ捏䠓樷㧋⣖挖 ᾏ去䢇ⅰ虇儔欻⁉㢏㝸㝋‛ᾥ亏 ┩欴扐虇⁴⊹幹✽╙洽ⱸ㷃㤫 ⅎ⢷凥名儝栕䮽㪜嗰喓Ҹᷕ▜儔 ☂嫾㏧Ҹ䛀㝋䜅⢿拡唙嬞㮰䢇 欻寸⁉Ausonius㝋⡪ᾥ亏⢷攽ᾙ 悒虇㏏⁴嗰喓拡䠓䚱捞悒ⶠ虇ㄏ ⷔ⃞虇㘿寸䵖㳛榛䜅⢿嗰喓 ㄏ⊈㧋ᾜ喁Ҹ IMAGES: Winemaking and Château Pavie: Jean-Bernard Nadeau – Cephas.

T PEPPER PIE People from Mainland China’s Fujian Province have been migrating to Taiwan in considerable numbers since the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and have played a big part in shaping the food culture of the island. One popular snack they have contributed is the pepper pie, which originated in Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian. The dish contains minced pork and spring onions wrapped in a flaky crust that’s topped off with sesame seeds. With their crispy crusts, the spicy kick from the pepper and delicious juicy meat, the pies are enjoyed piping hot, right out of the oven. Many snack stalls also pride themselves on making pies with spring onions from Taiwan’s Yilan County, where the fertile soil gives them a strong flavour. 20 Q2 2014 i n d u l g e i Ꮔ 䇲⁉⿇尹Ɣ㶠⁴橮䉉⪸ƕ虇ᾜ䴰⃤㟑虇⁴⧺ 檌利ⳟ䉉⋗Ҹᾏ↚䶰✽䠓橮⳦虇⢷ᾜ▛䠓 ⧃▗虇㢘ᾜ▛䠓䂣倈㝈ゞ虇橮刕䡪ⵃ♐⠟ 䠓㞾⸀䕜㼆☂虇姦榼橮⏖㞾㾀⋴ぅ㶠 㜖⒥䠓䚿捝Ҹ ᖰᣍᏡ↛ᅝᴱ ╿䇲㞾↚䮊㶠䫍㢒虇㾔⁴ℕ虇⁴䬞らℕ╿䠓䮊㶠㢏⪩虇 Keelung, Taiwan, is the homeport of SuperStar Aquarius.

A case in point is the socalled nutritious sandwich. Resembling a hotdog, the nutritious sandwich is filled with Western ingredients such as ham, cucumber, tomato and salad dressing, while a soy-sauce-marinated egg and a deep-fried exterior add a Taiwanese touch. A trip to Keelung is not complete without tasting this snack – the local Miaokou Night Market is where the sandwich first earned its fame. Many street stalls there do a roaring trade in this late-night snack. TAIWANESE HOTDOG Known in Chinese literally as “big sausage wrapping small sausage”, this snack appears to be Western in shape but is entirely Taiwanese in its creation. A long bun made of glutinous rice is wrapped around a pork sausage, which is slit open and filled with garlic, slices of ginger and mustard. A more sophisticated version comes with pickled vegetables. Whether the dish is tasty or not depends largely on the pork sausage itself. Eating this snack, with its dripping mustard, is often a messy affair, but utterly worth it. Up all night ᘝጴᯔᤳ Taiwan is known for its night markets, which host a wide variety of shops and and a vast array of food stalls. Apart from the dishes already mentioned, classic street foods include salted crispy chicken, oyster omelettes, rice dumplings, taro balls with grass jelly, thick soup noodles and rice-tube pudding.

This car-free and landscaped path is part of the 230-kilometre Park Connector Network, which provides verdant corridors joining up Singapore’s many parks. “The park connectors have allowed me to discover cycling not just as a hobby but also as a lifestyle,” Toh says. Singapore, more than most of Asia’s modern cities, is full of parks and greenery. Many of its buildings feature garden breakout spaces and a tree-lined highway connects the city to the airport. From its early ambition to become a “garden city” in the 1970s and 1980s, Singapore has long recognised the benefits that come with cultivating a green urban environment. “Being surrounded by greenery is good for our well-being,” says Tan Jun Han, Director of the (Planning Policies) Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA). “Despite being land-scarce, we have purposefully set aside about eight percent of our land for nature reserves, parkland and roadside trees. It softens our urban landscape and brings other benefits, such as improving air quality and reducing the urban heat island effect.” Parks have been developed to provide an assortment of activities and sights. Bedok Reservoir Park, for instance, is popular for water sports and has 嗦㜿⣰ⴇ㦰⇖㢮虇Phyllis Toh冐⾺⢷42⋻ 捛朆䠓㤀⹇䘿佩ℕᾏ弮朆憣卹姛恙Ὶ㝔Ҹ⬈ I In the Loop ⒭≹⟤ᐤ From local food to an ecological water feature, all tastes are catered for 㹎憣╾♐⠟懢⢿儝橮╙㷃ᾙ䚮㋚亊伀 ḑ ㄭ㤀扷⥝攽䠌㸨䠓ⵅ⎉䠋虇㹎嗦樷⋘㞝Ⱙ䠓 㼆䆀恙懢殝恙⎿㤀⹇⋻⢡虇䰎弙」↚ⷚ呠懁 ⋴⒎㺪㷃〺⋻⢡虇䋅ㄛ㐧慣㤀棱虇亓‣㟑▝⡭⎿ⵅᾼҸ 憨㨬㸡㢘㸌恙姛廿ҷ樷㟾⊹儝䠓彾ㄠ虇㞾⋷朆 230 ⋻ 捛䠓⋻⢡凾懢佁仰䠓ᾏ扷⎕虇㹎憣伯㯈㎟嚼虇憲㔴㜿 ⣰⪩↚⋻⢡ҸToh 姷䫉處ʥ⋻⢡凾懢⁉汣㢒⎿殝卹姛恙 ᾜ╹㞾㼗朡㻊⑤虇㢃㞾ᾏ䮽䚮㻊㝈ゞҸʦ 㜿⣰⨒⋶懜⃗⋻⢡╙伯⒥Ⓩ虇㜇捞悒⪶扷⎕㻁䖍 ⥝⾑䉉⪩Ҹ㝔ⴱㄭ㯮⧃⎿⾑ᾼㅒ䠓彾ᾙ虇╾⁴孉憣伢䠓 ら䵘⪶⪩宼㢘⢡㤦䰉朢Ҹ㜿⣰㝋1970厂1980〃⾁摂 ㊞㎟䉉Ɣ呀⢡⥝⾑ƕ虇㝸⾁䩉尜⦈剁伯⒥抌⾑䘿⨒䠓⬌埤Ҹ ⾑Ⓩ捜ら虃⾑ら虄䠓嬞␒㛎䳥俌䡲Tan Jun Han 姷䫉處ʥ⡪◷䠓伯⒥䘿⨒㢘䡙⇴うҸ⊧䴰⢮⢿䮏ⶠ虇㎠↠ T H E S U PE R TREES ḐᨑᏒ⍯ The “trees” contain more than 162,900 plants, including tropical bromeliads, orchids, ferns and climbers ʥ⽷㯈ʦ⋶㢘懍 162,900䮽㪜䏸虇 ⒔㑻䍀⿅溂㨷䭠 㪜䏸ҷ垼呀ҷ囷槭╙ 㚏佲㪜䏸 ⁜䋅㢘宗␒⢿榟䛨―8%⢮⢿宼䱚卹䋅Ⅼ崆Ⓩҷ⋻⢡╙䮽 㪜彾㝐㯈㢷Ҹ伯⒥Ⓩ╾⁴抌⾑㟾孏㢃☛屶虇⿅ℕ⌅ 婷䡙虇ℚ⬑㛈✓䰉㶲幹亯虇⁴╙佸☛抌⾑䍀⺅㛗㍘Ҹʦ 㜿⣰䠓⋻⢡㕟Kᾜ▛䠓㻊⑤╙㟾孏Ҹℚ⬑⒎㺪㷃 〺⋻⢡⁴㷃ᾙ懚⑤凭▜虇⢡⋶㢘䓷㢷厮ҷ呀ゞ䁠㷃╙ 庌焜厮䳘宼㝌Ҹ憌㷑⏉䅏䠓⁉⩺虇╾╒厖▜⏾⌅䠓 䰉ᾼ㩽㤦㔱根Ҹ⢷憨婰虇抌⾑⁉╾⁴捚㛍ㅒ〤婰䠓捝ㆶ虇 ℎ䚷汧㥅㢷㯚ҷ汧䰉椵楕╙▙俸䰎弙㷃〺Ҹ ᾼ⪽桕㷃Ⓩ卹䋅Ⅼ崆Ⓩ㞾⋷㜿⣰㢏⪶䠓Ⅼ崆Ⓩ虇噋 兯俐咑䠓㩽㤦⃣⢿弔懝2,000 ⋻榒虇㞾⥝⾑ᾼㅒ䠓伯吁 ⽷剉虇Ⅼ⳧―䜅⢿┮䍀⿅㤦⢿䠓䚮䏸⪩㮲ㆶҸⅬ崆Ⓩ⋶ 䠓瀴捛听卹䋅ㄠ⋷朆 20 ⋻捛虇䛀⪩㨬㳴懢╙㻽㯚仓 ㎟虇帺憩㩽㤦╙䘿俭㷃〺Ҹ容ⴱ戓╾⁴廿懝桱⢿ 25丂ҷ 朆250丂䠓▙㯚虇䂺㳴㝋㯈榑Ὶ朢Ҹ ⋻⢡凾懢䠓╵ᾏ彾佩㞾26 ⋻捛朆䠓㤀⒦㹂⹇䘿佩卹 姛恙懢Ҹ懙ⴱ殝恙伢懝䅤⢿ҷ懚㹂╙㷃懢虇㹎憣╾⁴孏 幭湴槭╙㪜䏸䚮㋚虖 孏湴⁉⩺䐈⎴✫㳰憨㨬彾佩虇⡯ 䉉㢘㯮㢒ᾏ䤈䠌榧兯湴╙䠌匈䭶桭䳘㷃湴⢷㱂㬣懚㹂 㓤泩⃫㟩檟Ҹ㱂㬣懚㹂㻐伢㬫滬⋻⢡虇军⢷ 2.4 ⋻捛䠓 㬫濔䁷㷃㳴懢卹䋅ㄓ虇戓╾⁴䢚⎿䚿潩╙灒匈呀墫湴Ҹ EASTERN COASTAL LOOP ᚣᙂ⒭≹ᒢᒭᖯ NORTH EASTERN RIVERINE LOOP ᚣᎫᛂᙂ⒭≹ᒢᒭᖯ Recommended start point: Bedok Reservoir Park, 825 Bedok Reservoir Road.

For adrenaline junkies there is the aptly named aerial Forest Adventure. Here, urbanites can unleash their inner Tarzans by swinging on trapezes, abseiling and crossing the forest via purpose built elevated wooden bridges. The Central Catchment Nature Reserve is the largest in Singapore. With more than 2,000-hectares of lush forest, it acts as a green lung in the heart of the city and helps preserve the rich biodiversity of the native tropical forestland. The reserve’s MacRitchie Trails are a 20-kilometre series of paths and boardwalks that wend their way through the forest and around MacRitchie Reservoir. Meanwhile at TreeTop Walk, a 250metre suspension bridge hovers 25-metres above the forest floor. Another route among the park connectors is the 26-kilometre North Eastern Riverine Loop. Here, cyclists can enjoy long stretches of wetland and observe a variety of birds and plant life along the way. Waterside birds such as the Collared Kingfisher and White-Breasted Waterhen can often be spotted fishing for their supper at Sungei Pinang Canal, which runs adjacent to Punggol Park. Similarly, Punggol Promenade Nature Walk is a 2.4-kilometre trail from which the Paddyfield Pipit and Olive-Backed Sunbird can be observed. While Singapore’s many gardens and parks flourish, the city’s ambition to be even greener has involved leveraging its technological credentials.

It also is home to 18 “supertrees” – treeshaped vertical gardens up to 50-metres tall. Constructed of reinforced concrete and steel, the “trees” contain more than 162,900 plants, including tropical bromeliads, orchids and climbers. At night, the trees are illuminated by a light display using energy from photovoltaic cells embedded in the treetops. Technology has also revitalised Bishan Park. The use of bioengineering techniques and carefullyselected plants has transformed a concrete canal into a meandering river that is now home to an entire eco-system of aquatic life. The 62-hectare park also features three dedicated areas for children, including a playground that uses recycled water, which is open on weekends. Learning and play in a natural setting are also features of Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden in Singapore Botanic Gardens. With the theme “All Life on Earth Depends on Plants”, the garden aims to give children under 12 a grounding in life sciences and to inspire a sense of wonder for nature. While Singapore’s interconnected parks and natural urban spaces are widely recognised, the city’s aim to be a “garden city” has evolved. “We have grown,” explains the URA’s Tan Jun Han. “From being a garden city, our aim now is to become a city in a garden.” Cyclists can enjoy stretches of wetland, canals and waterways 懙ⴱ╾⁴殝卹姛恙㹎憣㲲幭䅤⢿ҷ懚㹂 ╙㷃懢䠓樷㟾 桥䋅㜿⣰㙐㢘䣍⪩呀⢡╙⋻⢡虇⁜㸉㊞懁ᾏ㳴伯 ⒥虇䚩厂ℎ䚷⋗懁䭠㐏ℕ懣⎿䡽㮨Ҹ⃣⢿ 101⋻榒䠓䆀㼆 䇲呀⢡ⷀイ⋴㶲↨㔶⏅亊伀虇⁴⋗懁⢡坬㐏姢䴰䖕䀺ⴳ 梁梶㩽㤦╙呀ⓘ檷虇ⶖ⢿ᾼ㼆╙汧⸀㪜䏸䮊㪜⎿憨䍀⿅ ⢿ⓏҸ⢡⋶宼僽18 㪄Ɣ弔亩⽷㯈ƕ虇㵞㪄抌㞾ᾏ↚汧 50 丂 䠓㯈ヱ䢃䱚呀⢡Ҹʥ⽷㯈ʦ㔰䚷テ⒥㾆⍬⢮╙撋旄ら憯虇 ⋶婰㢘懍162,900䮽㪜䏸虇⒔㑻䍀⿅溂㨷䭠㪜䏸ҷ垼呀ҷ 囷槭╙㚏佲㪜䏸Ҹ㟩ᾙ虇㯈〈㢒娺䍗檍䍒‽虇䛀婬宼 ⢷㯈榑䠓⋘㤎䠋梊Ҹ 䭠㐏‵ℎ䨶⸀⋻⢡䋴䋅ᾏ㜿Ҹ⢡㝈㔰䚷䚮䏸⽴䮚㐏姢虇 ⡃㧋㒠戇㪜䏸ℕⶖ㷃㹴懚㹂儝⒥㎟壎墡㹂懢虇䖍⾁㎟䉉ⴛ Bishan Park (below left), a native of the Central Catchment Nature Reserve (right, top) and some forest thrills at Bedok Reservoir (right, bottom) ⃜ጢፊẀᅳጄᏔ‽ᅴᅜጱᏋṇ ᎁ᪸ᒢᵩᝉ✬᪸ፇᛵ᪳ ᛦᅳᎷጆ‽ᅴᅜᵂហᑋፒᎁ ᥈ፊẀᎵ᎔ᐺ♇ᡤḏᴨᚩᅗ ᗬ⎃ᑺ⋎ᅳᎷጄ‽ᅴ 㜃䠓㷃䚮䚮㋚亊伀Ҹ62⋻榒䠓⋻⢡宼ᾘ↚⋡䱴Ⓩ虇⌅ ᾼᾏ↚㞾ℎ䚷ㄹ䘿⌜䚷㷃䠓懙㮑⧃虇憱懀㢺朚㛍Ҹ 㜿⣰㪜䏸⢡婰䠓Jacob Ballas⋡䱴呀⢡⋶虇‵㢘崢 ⋡䱴⢷卹䋅䘿⨒⋶ⵢⴇ兡㝋懙㏁䠓⢿㝈Ҹ呀⢡⁴ʥ㪜䏸ῒ 喻䏸Ὶ䀟ʦ䉉Ὴ槛虇崢12㴁⁴ᾚ䠓⋡䱴尜峧䚮☌䭠ⴇ虇㕟 ⓖ↠⪶卹䋅䠓⬌⫖ㅒҸ 㜿⣰⪩↚‡䢇῁凾䠓⋻⢡╙卹䋅抌⾑䰉朢ひ╦尜 ▛虇⌅⃫䉉Ɣ呀⢡⥝⾑ƕ䠓䡽㮨懁ᾏ㳴䠋ⷤҸ⾑ら䠓 Tan Jun Han姷䫉處ʥ㎠↠⾁伢㎟朆虇䡽㮨㞾ㄭ呀⢡⥝⾑ 墊崙䉉ʢ呀⢡ᾼ䠓⥝⾑ʣ Ҹʦ i n d u l g e Q2 2014 29 C RU I SE ᨴ HONG KONG 欨㾾 Hong Kong has become the art hub of Asia, luring big-name galleries and hosting international shows throughout the year 欨㾾⃫䉉㻁坬姢㮭亟虇◇イ⪩ⵅ ⢚株䥴▜坬す懁歟虇㵞〃㢃厘愵⪩ ↚⢚株坬姢ⷤ孌 Word s / 㘿 㜖 T a m s i n B r a d s h a w Cake Man and Hong Kong Toy Painting by Yinka Shonibare at Pearl Lam Galleries ♐ᰰ᜴ᶁ᳘᤺ᎤYinka Shonibareᛵᆃᰬ⎺ዷᆄ ᆃHong Kong Toy Paintingᆄ 30 Q2 2014 i n d u l g e ATTACK 坬㤦孌幭 i n d u l g e Q2 2014 31 C RU I SE ᨴ HONG KONG 欨㾾 or a long time considered “a cultural desert”, Hong Kong is now seen as one of the region’s key hubs for contemporary art. As of March 2013, the city was the world’s third-largest market by auction sales, after New York and London, and last year Art Basel held its first Asian show in the city. Hong Kong’s success is due in part to its central location. The city is a gateway to the growing art scene in the Asia-Pacific region, connecting galleries and auction houses to about 3.7 million highnet-worth individuals. “Hong Kong is attractive because of its tax and open-port status and that will always be relevant,” says John Batten, art curator and organiser of Hong Kong ArtWalk. In Hong Kong, there is no valueadded or sales tax on art sales; nor is there any import or export duty. It’s no surprise, then, that respected galleries from all over the world have flocked to the city, forming a “golden circle” in the Central district. It is easy to walk from gallery to gallery and explore exciting offerings from Asia and the West, with many of the venues beautifully designed creative spaces worth the visit alone. F BEN BROWN FINE ARTS Ben Brown was one of the first gallerists to open in the historical Pedder Building, setting a trend that has seen the building become a nucleus for art in Hong Kong. The former Sotheby’s director of Contemporary Art hired AFSO, the firm led by Hong Kong’s wunderkind architect, Andre Fu, to create his Hong Kong gallery. Fu left the ceilings raw and open in order to make the most of their four-metre height and his simple, calm design allows the viewer to focus on the Western and international art on display. The gallery represents artists such as industrial artist and designer Ron Arad, photographer Candida Höfer and painter Simon Birch. ᣍ 㾾㢍伢娺嬥䉉Ɣ㜖⒥㸨䂯ƕ虇⃕䖍⢷⾁怜ⓖ 㾾㢍伢娺嬥䉉Ɣ㜖⒥㸨䂯ƕ虇⃕䖍 ⢷⾁怜ⓖ 䉉Ⓩ⋶䜅坬姢䠓捜嬐㮭亟Ҹ㎹ 厂2 䉉Ⓩ⋶䜅坬姢䠓捜嬐㮭亟Ҹ㎹厂 2013 〃 虇欨㾾㞾⋷䖒㑜干摆⚽槜䲻ᾘ⪶⾑⧃虇 ᾘ⪶⾑⧃虇 ᾘ⪶ 3㢗虇欨㾾㞾⋷䖒㑜干摆⚽槜䲻ᾘ 䏍坬姢ⷤ ≔㲰㝋亟亓☛↺㛵Ҹ╊〃虇⾃⧭䏍坬姢ⷤ 㢃⢷欨㾾厘愵欥↚㻁ⷤ孌Ҹ 欨㾾䠓⢿䖕⃜僽⊹弙虇㞾㎟䠓⡯亯ῚᾏҸ憨婰㞾懁 ⋴⪹⢿Ⓩ噻坬姢⾑⧃䠓朏㏅虇⃫䉉ᾏ懢㯚㮠㐙Ⓩ ⋶亓370喻ⵛ巹彮䛺す☛㑜干姛憲俺弆ℕҸ 欨㾾 ArtWalk 䠓坬姢䳥ⷤ⁉╙䳥␒⁉亓兿ʬ䠍ㅆ姷 䫉處 Ɣ欨㾾䠓䮔⑨㛎䳥☛卹䛀㾾䠓⢿⃜虇㢘㬄⪶◇イ虇 憨㞾ㄗ捜嬐䠓ᾏ灭Ҹƕ⢷欨㾾懁姛坬姢♐摆⚽虇㝱㸡㢘⨭ ⇋㎥摆⚽䮔虇΅㸡㢘懁╲㎥⎉╲䮔Ҹ 桲ㆹ⋷䖒 ▜䛺す墑㙐军厂虇⢷ᾼ䘿ヱ㎟―ᾏ↚坬姢 Ɣ灒捠⢗ƕҸ坬姢㊪⬌冔╾⁴㈯朡⢿ㄭᾏ↚䛺す䂺㳴⎿╵ ᾏ↚䛺す虇㔱亱㻁╙嬎㝈䠓␄㜿坬姢䠋ⷤ虇军ᾜⶠ䛺 す㢻怺⾁㞾宼宗⎴厃䠓坬姢䰉朢虇ㄗ⇋ㄦᾏ懙Ҹ BEN BROWN FINE ARTS 301, Pedder Building, 12 Pedder Street, Central Ben Brown㞾㢏㝸懁歟㴆▁ら䵘䛱㏢姛䠓坬すῚᾏ虇朚␄ 䃽㻐虇䛱㏢姛㎟䉉欨㾾坬姢圗喒䠓ᾼㅒҸ␄愵⁉Ben Brown㞾垖ⵛ㵣䜅坬姢扷⏜₊俌䡲虇凧䚷欨㾾〃悤 宼宗㏜⅙∔┩㶠Ὴ䖕䠓AFSO宼宗‚⑨㏏宼宗憨䛺すҸ∔ ┩㶠⋔₌䠋㕽⡪丂汧㮢〤䠓⊹灭虇朚㕩䠓⪸呀Ⅼ䛨卹䋅樷 㧋虇㜃汣宼宗䶰亓ㇻ棫虇崢容ⴱㅒ㲲幭嬎㝈╙⢚株坬姢 ⷤ♐Ҹ䛺す䖕⽴㫼坬姢ⵅ⌋宼宗⾺ Ron Aradҷ㚬⾺ Candida Höfer╙䛺ⵅSimon Birch䳘䠓⃫♐Ҹ ጱ⒭ᯉᏞᷭ12ᾊᯉᏞᒭ301ស www.benbrownfinearts.com www.benbrownfinearts.com 32 Q2 2014 i n d u l g e Singe Alternatif by François-Xavier Lalanne at Ben Brown Fine Arts Ben Brown Fine Artsᱯᐬ François-Xavier Lalanne ᲐᓆᛵᆃSinge Alternatifᆄ EDOUARD MALINGUE GALLERY OMA, the architecture firm headlined by Rem Koolhaas, designed this Queen’s Road Central gallery. OMA conceived it as a “box within a box”, encasing the gallery’s three rooms in an aluminium space that can be seen from the street. The effect is cocooning, enabling visitors to view pieces by emerging and established contemporary artists in a secluded and spacious environment. The eponymous gallerist inaugurated his Hong Kong space with an exhibition of the largest collection of Pablo Picasso works to have been shown in the city.

The Hong Kong gallery launched in 2011 with Forgotten Promises, the first solo show in Asia from British artist Damien Hirst. Photorealistic paintings and gold sculptures featured alongside a controversial piece called For Heaven’s Sake – a diamond-encrusted platinum cast of human baby’s skull.

These lavish and often grand buildings are the legacy of Chinese immigrants who arrived in Malaysia in the 18th and 19th centuries, a living heritage that pays tribute to their collaborative achievements. With more than 170 kongsi, the Malaysian state has one of the densest concentrations of lineage institutions outside China. The migrants brought their cultural-religious traditions when they emigrated from South China – many from Hokkien-speaking Fujian Province – and that legacy has endured. Clan membership was based around a shared surname or village of origin and the kongsi provided assistance to build a new life, from accommodation to jobs and cultural continuity for arrivals who often had nothing but debt. When established, members served their clan. The kongsi is a space for the rituals of ancestral veneration and keeps genealogical records to preserve lineage. Many Chinese believe the dead live on as spirits, continuing to influence their descendents. They, as represented by a temple-housed tablet, must be honoured to maintain filial piety. George Town is home to numerous kongsi, particularly in the state capital’s UNESCO World Heritage Site core and buffer zones. These include the “big five” Hokkien clanhouses: Lim, Yeoh, Cheah, Tan, and Khoo, which is the grandest kongsi in Malaysia, if not the region. “Clans are caretakers of built and intangible heritage,” says historian David Faure, author of Emperor and Ancestor: State and Lineage in South China. He says filial piety was considered a virtue, but also a form of business savvy, as being filial meant one was creditworthy. Making money for oneself might be considered selfish, but prosperity was good for your ancestors. Ronni Pinsler, a local culture expert based in Singapore, says the kongsi and their Taoist rituals “are a traditional link to the past”, though the lavish clanhouses are the result of increased wealth. The Hokkien word kongsi is used for clan, but translates literally as company.

Its present temple, rebuilt after fire, was completed in 1906. Khoo Boo Hong, Honourable Secretary for the past 24 years, says the temple was built of wood with an Indo-Malay influence on the floorplan, raised to protect against flooding and incorporating Western elements such as wrought-iron fencing. Ongoing maintenance, paid for with admission fees, is performed by craftsmen from China. The clanhouse is the kongsi’s “greatest treasure”, says Khoo. Also valuable are its 27 volumes of detailed ancestral records that Mainland Chinese visitors consult to find information lost in the 196676 Cultural Revolution. “Many visitors from China have never seen a temple like this,” he says. Khoo Salma Nasution, writer, social historian and President of the Penang Heritage Trust, says that as a Khoo, the kongsi is “a special part of my heritage”. She respects clanhouses as places for teaching Confucian philosophy, a “kind of humanism” encompassing gratitude, acknowledgment and tolerance. “Clan temples still represent some of these old values,” she says. Kwoh Soo Chen, Executive Secretary of the Penang Chinese Clan Council (Malaysia), has spent two years editing and researching more than 100 kongsi for the first volume of Chinese Clans in Penang: A Concise History. She is impressed with how the clans maintain traditions, such as celebrating the Lunar New Year with “open house” activities, the winter solstice in December, and the “grave sweeping” festival in April. “This is one part of Chinese culture you can still see in Penang,” she says.

The temple’s style is “classic Hokkien” with British colonial elements. Cheah Swee Huat, clan chairman, says one of his responsibilities is to make new generations “aware of Chinese and Hokkien culture”. The clan does this by “celebrating the religious festivals and holding functions for the Lunar New Year and other events”, he says. The 90-year-old Yap Kongsi, located along Lebuh Armenian and open to visitors who ask permission, stands on a 10,056-square-foot parcel of land donated by self-made businessman Yeap Chor Ee. Members share the surname Yap, or Yeap. Teoh Kongsi, located off Lebuh Carnavon, is named after the tycoon who established it, Cheong Fatt Tze – Teoh being the Hokkien pronunciation of Cheong. The clan maintains records, helps educate children and celebrates seasonal festivals. “We unite and make things happen,” says Lily Teoh, the kongsi’s Youth Secretary. With its elaborate façade of carved stone and pillars swathed in dragons, the Penang Hainan Association on Lebuh Muntri is popular with visitors. Founded to help Hainanese in Penang, the clanhouse is open daily and organises ceremonies dedicated to its deity, the Chinese sea goddess Mazu. Datuk Lim Chiew Ah, the clan’s first female president, says the association serves the community through events, supporting education and as a tourist attraction. Young people are involved in making the clan digital; a Facebook page has been created and there are plans to launch a website. Lim says that travellers from Mainland China are often interested in studying the clan’s records. In the multicultural mix that made Penang a vibrant port city, the kongsi hold an important role and are evolving to engage new generations. Protecting distinct elements of Chinese and Malaysian history, they are part of the “cultural townscape” underscoring George Town’s 2008 inclusion on the UNESCO World Heritage List. i SuperStar Libra’s home port is Penang.

It is also the birthplace of karate, a form of selfdefence now practised by millions across the world. In the 15th and 16th century, Okinawa, then known as the Ryukyu Kingdom, was a nation of traders that had strong connections with both China and Japan. Okinawans had a traditional fighting style known as te, but they also learned Chinese kenpo from visiting merchants, emissaries and their bodyguards. The hybrid fighting style produced was called karate. Although in recent years “kara-te” has been translated as “empty hand”, the original meaning of the word – “Chinese hand” – reveals its origins. In 1609, the Satsuma clan of southern Japan invaded Okinawa. Once in control, the samurai banned the locals from carrying weapons or practising martial arts. Okinawans learned how to defend themselves behind the cloak of everyday life – farming equipment became weapons and martial-arts training was hidden in folk dances.

The internationalisation and commercialisation of karate has led some to believe that it is little more than a sport, or worse, a business opportunity. On Okinawa, however, karate remains in its traditional form: a method of self-defence and a way of life. There are four main styles of Okinawan karate: Uechi-ryu, Goju-ryu, Shorin-ryu and Matsubayashiryu. Many karate students on Okinawa also study kobudo, the use of traditional weapons such as the bo staff and nunchaku. Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme may be the most famous proponents of karate, but the true masters of the art are based on Okinawa. It is on this small group of subtropical islands that they continue to train, passing down their wisdom to locals and international students who have made a pilgrimage to karate’s spiritual heart. Kiyohide Shinjo was the nine-time Okinawa Karate Champion in both kumite (sparring) and kata (set forms). His skill and power gained him the nickname “The Okinawan Superman”. In 1979, when his father died, he retired from competition undefeated and took over the family dojo.

It is my calling to make sure the traditional skills of Uechi-ryu are handed down to future generations.” When asked if after a lifetime of training there is any more he can learn, Shinjo sensei replies: “You can never achieve perfection; you just keep on training, staying fit, staying strong. Karate allows you to protect your family, maintain your health and gives you pride in your abilities.” Masaji Taira sensei is renowned for the level of conditioning he puts his body through. His calloused knuckles are testament to the fact he has spent thousands of hours punching wooden boards. His deep understanding of karate comes from the analysis of techniques so that he can see how best to apply each strike, block or kick with maximum efficiency. Brutal methods are used by Takehiro Gaja sensei to condition himself for open-hand techniques using fingertips to jab an attacker. He places a bucket of sand on the floor and then drives his fingers down into the sand like a spear. He says once your fingers can take this you can move on to the next stage. He strides over to a second bucket filled with small stones. He thrusts his hand into the bucket so hard that rocks bounce out onto the dojo floor. Some of the small stones have cracked and splintered, Gaja sensei’s hand is unscathed. Hidemi Tamayose sensei is a master of kobudo and has filled his dojo with different types of traditional weapons. Some were designed specifically for fighting, but many had once been farm tools that were repurposed. He holds an unusually shaped nunchaku then explains that it is shaped after a horse’s bridle. Likewise the kama, a small i SuperStar Aquarius calls in to the Okinawa prefecture from its homeport of Keelung.

At 72 years old, Kensho Tokumura sensei shows no signs of slowing down. Also a master of kobudo, he shows how an Okinawan woman could use a seven-centimetre steel rod as both a hairpin and a means of self-defence. He gestures how, if someone grabbed the woman’s shoulder, with one fluid movement the hairpin would be removed from the hair and placed firmly in the attacker’s arm. Karate master Masakazu Kinjo has taught Uechiryu karate and kobudo for decades. Unsurprisingly, his two sons, Satoshi and Kenta, have become exceptionally talented in each discipline. What is surprising is the contrast between the brutal training the masters put themselves through and the calm, gregarious nature they have with others. Kinjo sensei laughs and smiles as he demonstrates the sansetsukon, a small three-piece nunchaku, whirling it around his body. He explains how nunchaku can be used for striking or to trap and immobilise limbs. He demonstrates the technique with his younger son. Kenta lunges forward to punch, Kinjo clamps his son’s outstretched arm with the nunchaku, then with a twist and a sidestep he has completely taken control of the encounter. Once again he flashes his beaming smile. On many levels, a balance between hard and soft is at the very heart of karate. In combat, the body is soft, supple and fast until the final moment when muscles lock tight. The masters are formidable combatants capable of delivering devastating blows, but their greatest power is as respected members of the community teaching new generations the importance of discipline, hard work and strength in both mind and body. Toshimitsu Arakaki sensei has spent his whole life training. Each day, he hones his skills in Matsubayashi-ryu karate practising movements he’s done many thousands of times. I ask him on how many occasions he has had to fight to defend himself outside the dojo. He smiles, then answers: “Never.” M E E T T H E M A S T E R S ៌Ồᘶ᥇ The Karate Masters Portrait Project began in March 2012, with the goal of photographing the highest-ranking karate masters living in Okinawa, the birthplace of karate. James Pankiewicz, owner of the Dojo Bar in Naha, discussed with photographer Chris Willson how there were few, if any, 48 Q2 2014 i n d u l g e good pictures of certain karate masters, so together they set out to visit the numerous dojos and photograph these living legends. The portraits produced will hopefully become a historical record of the grand masters of Okinawan karate alive and kicking at the start of the 21st century. ᜀ፯ጙ᥇ᖙ‡✎⇝ᢤ ⢷2012〃3㢗ⷤ朚虇㝋䰉 ㏚懢䠋䀟⢿㸥俸亏撓䜅ᾥ䰉㏚懢⾺䠓㳵㐏Ҹ戲棇 ⾑䠓The Dojo Bar〦ῊJames Pankiewicz■㚬 ⾺Chris Willson姷䫉虇䡽⏜≂ᾥ䠓䰉㏚懢⪶⾺⊹ 幹⢥䏖ⶠῚ╗ⶠ虇⡯㳳↠㸉懙廿▓⪶懢⧃虇㑜 㚬憨≂⫖⾺䠓䋶䏖Ҹ憨䋶䏖ⶖ㢒㎟䉉 21ᾥ亏 㸥俸䰉㏚懢⪶⾺䠓㴆▁宧撓Ҹ 汣䑏㹐☛㶲Ҹ䰉㏚懢崢⃯劌Ⅼ崆ⵅ⁉ҷテ怺⇴汣虇ℎ⃯ 㟑⏊䉉卹⾀䠓劌军卹巹Ҹƕ 。叾㳲㲰⪶⾺㢏╦⁉㛻捜Ὶ埤虇㞾㟑⏊Ⅼ㒐㢏ℂ汣 㧋Ҹ㒂榼ᾙ仟俼䠓㒖䵏虇㳲㞾呵侃㙙㏢㢷㤎㜇⁴ⓒ 宗㟑ㄛ䠓㞝寋Ҹ䰉㏚懢䠓尜峧虇䀟㝋▓䮽㐏姢 䠓㾀⋴⎕㤟虇榧㈮⎉⬑⃤⁴㢏汧㛗䔖⎉㒂ҷ柁ⴗ╙徱匎Ҹ ㎠岬ⳮェ⪶⾺⁴⡃呪䠓㝈㹤虇ℕ擪擙䚷㏚㒖⏉■㏚ 䠓䰉㏚懢㑪ゞҸ㢒ⶖᾏ㨅㸨㛍⢷⢿ᾙ虇䋅ㄛ⁴㏚㒖䉉 䥪虇䒪㕡懁㸨ᾼҸ尹侃兡厂㏚㒖劌㕡懁㸨ᾼ虇ⷀ╾ ⁴懁⋴ᾚᾏ栝㵄Ҹ䋅ㄛ彷㳴⎿㝐戙ᾏ㨅䦂ⳟ㝐戙虇 ⶖ㏚㔛㕡⋴㨅ᾼ虇䛀㝋〵⍛╁虇䦂ⳟ΅娺梖桱㷃㨅虇 㔘⎿懢⧃⢿棱虇扷⎕䦂ⳟ䚩厂婑㎟䨝䏖虇㎠岬⾺∔䠓 ㏚㔛┊企㵺䊰㖜Ҹ 䔘ⵓ咀儝⾺∔㞾╳㳵懢䠓ᾏ⾺虇䠓懢⧃⋶㢘 ▓ゞ▓㮲䠓≂伀㳵⟷虇扷⎕朏䉉㧋沴军宼宗虇⃕⪶扷 ⎕⣖䛀慁冤⽴⌆䂣崙军ℕҸ㒎弆ᾏ桨憯⤚䓷䐈䠓桨䵏 㩜虇孲捚憨↚ヱ䑏㞾ㄭ欻楐䂣崙军ℕҸ厂㝋╳㳵懢ᾼ 䠓⤚施⎏虇㝱╾⁴⢷䚿婰柳哘虇΅╾⁴㏚⎒⅄䛴冔Ҹ ㅆ㣠幱㞛⪶⾺桥䋅〃ⷕ72㴁虇㒂匂⪺⁜ᾜ㾪䜅〃Ҹ 㞾╳㳵懢⪶⾺虇嬹怺䫉䵓㸥俸⯵⬂⬑⃤ℎ䚷ᾏ㧈ᾒ┧ Clockwise from top: Sokuichi Gibu trains at his dojo in Urasoe, Okinawa; Hiroshi Akamine’s prowess with weaponry includes turtle shell tinbe and a rochin short spear; Masaji Taira and Katsuhiko Yogi demonstrate a strike-and-block technique ጆ‽ᩪṍ᪂፵ᐿᅝ ↞ᚷᥖዯᑋᕵ♇ᦩᮐᏕ Ḷ᰿ᛵᲵᭈᚷᅜᖫ⑦ᦳ ῒᏸ᎔ᴼᓆᡓᐃᶟ ᚷ⌸ጦῖ⚻ᎂᨎᅜ ᏗᖠᏩᑿKatsuhiko Yogi ᐆ≨⁝ᚌ 丂朆䠓撋媌汽掄卹姪ʟ ʟ⢷娺㴈ㄡ㐢⃞券匙㟑虇╹㼗ᾏ↚ 㻐⎸䠓⑤⃫虇ⷀ劌㑌⎉汽掄虇䑯䑯⏉懁㝈㏚卑Ҹ 䰉㏚懢⪶⾺捠⥝㛎☛⾁伢≂㔗ᾙ⢿㻐䰉㏚懢☛╳㳵 懢㜇ⓐ〃虇䠓⋸⃜⋡ⳟ捠⥝㠉☛捠⥝⇴⪹΅榕䖕㎟ 䱯⢷憨⋸㝈棱⪶ⷤ䃪劌Ҹ崢⁉㊞㊂ᾜ⎿䠓㞾虇桥䋅憨 ⪶⾺↠⢷客侃㟑抌棭⿇⡃呪虇⃕↠ㄔ⁉㔴䏸┊㞾ㅒ 。㶲☛ҷ。㞢慠⁉Ҹ捠⥝⾺∔⢷䫉䵓ᾘ䵏㩜㐏姢㟑虇㢃 㞾ᾏ戙ㄽ䲠虇ᾏ戙ⶖᾘ䵏㩜⢜俭怺恏㝚惘Ҹ㳳⪥虇 ᾣ孲捚⬑⃤ℎ䚷桨䵏㩜㛊㙙☛柁ⴗ虇⁴厂ⶐ㵉㏚䠓 ⑤⃫Ҹ䫉䵓懝䮚ᾼ虇䠓⋡ⳟ⇴⪹ᾙ⏜㕽㒂虇捠⥝⾺ ∔⏖䚷桨䵏㩜⫍余⋡ⳟ⎉䠓⏜卑虇䋅ㄛ䚷ᾏ㏼虇■ 㝐從朚ᾏ㳴虇ⅎ欻ᾙ⒥孲―㝈䠓㛊㙙虇䋅ㄛ╗⌜㲰 ⷤ䖍䀺☛䠓䲠ⵈҸ 䰉㏚懢岪䰅⏪㥣䅮Ҹ㑕㟑虇怺汣嬐㥣恮棗㛞虇⢷ 㸉⑬㟑⏊┊嬐䡰䚷㵞ⶇ创刘䠓捞Ҹ憨⪶⾺⋷抌㞾 䒪䠓㏚虇㒂㒂㢘虇ᾜ懝↠㢏⇘⪶Ὶ埤虇㞾㛨㜿ᾏ ギⳟⅽㅒ檙ㆶ虇侃㳵虇擪擙怺ㅒҸ 㜿⤲㛞⋘⾺∔䛱䚮抌⢷侃㳵Ҹ㵞⪸抌㢒䩷擙㤍㤦㻐 䰉㏚懢㑪ゞ虇㜇ⓐ〃ℕ樷桷ᾜ㛈Ҹ㎠⛞⁉䚮ᾼ㢍▵⢷懢 ⧃⪥㝌ⷤ䰉㏚懢Ⅼ姪卹⾀虇ㄽ䲠尹蘅Ɣㄭ㢹寵懝Ҹƕ i n d u l g e Q2 2014 49 C RU I SE ᨴ FASHION ᾜ 㮨槛處㤦ᾼῚ䔚 50 Q2 2014 i n d u l g e 㤀㝈泔 LOOK EAST Hold court in this season’s striking fashions ᦟ᠘ጉᛵᘼ‐ᅗ⟇ᓇᑋፂᘵ᤺ᯀ✍ዷᛵᣉᜱ SHE’S WEARING ጚᖮᡤ Dress by Shanghai Tang Necklace by Kenneth Jay Lane from On Pedder, Hong Kong ጆᦫ❥᱕ᖮᾙ HE’S WEARING Blazer and pocket square by Ermenegildo Zegna Shirt and leather belt by Fendi Trousers by Shanghai Tang Kenneth Jay LaneṌ♼ᅗ ᣍᵁOn Pedderᑺ᫋ ᖎᖮᡤ Ermenegildo Zegna Ꮚᤞ᰷ጨ Fendi❲ᢡ᐀ᬉ ጆᦫ❥ᜳ⏣ C RU I SE ᨴ FASHION 㟑婬 SHE’S WEARING ጚᖮᡤ Blazer by Fendi Long dress by Escada Leather belts by Shanghai Tang FendiᏊᤞ Escadaᜳᾙ Wristband by Feverish from On Pedder ጆᦫ❥᐀Ὤᬉ Feverish፯✺ On Pedderᑺ᫋ SHE’S WEARING ጚᖮᡤ Jacket and skirt by Lanvin Rings by Bernard Delettrez, earrings by Feverish – both from On Pedder LanvinᏊᤞᎮ⁶ᾙ Bernard Delettrezᔽ។ Feverishᒜ⒭ On Pedderᑺ᫋ ᖎᖮᡤ HE’S WEARING Shirt by Cerruti 1881 Jacket and trousers by Fendi Shoes by Burberry London Cerruti 1881❲ᢡ FendiᏊᤞᜳ⏣ Burberry London᐀⌄ THE SHOOT 52 Q2 2014 i n d u l g e ✎ℽḻ PHOTOGRAPHY ✎⇝ Ricky Lo PHOTOGRAPHY ASSISTANTS ✎⇝ᓛᮿ Ken Leung and Kelvin Sim STYLING ᔲḁ។⍈ Anson Lau STYLING ASSISTANT ᔲḁ។⍈ᓛᮿ Kyle Wu MAKEUP ፓᔍ Karen Yiu MAKEUP ASSISTANT ፓᔍᓛᮿ Vincy Lee HAIR STYLIST ⌗ង Seifert Cheung ASSISTANT HAIR STYLIST ⌗ងᓛᮿ Teresa Ltk MODELS ∗ᧁᗡ Jeong Sunju at Elite and Edwin K at Calcarries LOCATION Ჵᑊ Jumbo Kingdom, Hong Kong ᣍᵁᠸ⚮ᎊ www.jumbokingdom.com Stag sans light S TA G S E M I 9 P T i n d u l g e Q2 2014 53 C RU I SE ᨴ FASHION 㟑婬 SHE’S WEARING ጚᖮᡤ SHE’S WEARING Trouser suit by Escada Necklace by Swarovski Escadaᤞ⏣ HE’S WEARING ᖎᖮᡤ Dress by Emilio Pucci Clutch by Shanghai Tang Necklace by Feverish at On Pedder Blazer by Ermenegildo Zegna Cardigan, shirt and trousers by Shanghai Tang ጆᦫ❥ᏊᒮᅘᎮ⁶ᾙᜳ⏣ 54 Q2 2014 i n d u l g e Swarovski♼ Ermenegildo ZegnaᏊᤞ ጚᖮᡤ Emilio Pucci᱕ᖮᾙ ጆᦫ❥፯ᥢᎩ Feverish♼ᅗ On Pedderᑺ᫋ Stag sans light S TA G S E M I 9 P T i n d u l g e Q2 2014 55 C RU I SE ᨴ VIETNAM 弙ⓦ 㼆⹇⑬㟾 COAST ALONG Central Vietnam’s Da Nang is poised to become Southeast Asia’s next hot beach retreat, rivalling the luxury resorts of Phuket and Bali 弙ⓦᾼ扷䠓⺃㾾厃䠋ⷤ㎟䉉㤀ⓦ䍀朏䠓巹啾㼆䇧〵⇖⑬⢿虇彮㹿⢚⾒▘厖⓿ⷋ⹖捛䎼ᾏ㝴朆䥼 Wo rd s / 㘿㜖 N g a H o a n g he Vietnamese city of Da Nang is sandwiched between the lantern-lit riverfront town of Hoi An to the south and the imperial city of Hue to the north. With a vast sweep of unspoilt beaches fringed with densely forested mountains, Da Nang has recently pulled in a steady stream of big-name resorts. It’s not difficult to see the appeal, either: dramatic scenery is coupled with easy access to a treasure trail of UNESCO World Heritage-listed sites. With pro-development policies, a well-put-together infrastructure and an international airport known as the main hub for the region, Da Nang is fast gaining momentum, and its path to becoming the next Phuket or Bali is only just beginning.

Each has a clay-tiled pitched roof, an open courtyard, a wood rafter ceiling and intricate latticework featuring lotus motifs emblematic of the imperial palaces. All of the villas are outfitted with a private plunge pool, a covered pavilion facing out onto a tropical private garden and a glass-walled bathroom. Among the resort’s main attractions is its Nick Faldo-designed golf course. What was once scattered with vast swathes of rice paddies has been reincarnated into a world-class 18-hole course.

The SuperStar Virgo region. This means we can plan our market lists well ahead and accommodate the nationalities we expect to have on board. We also ensure there are plenty of options available for different tastes. On SuperStar Virgo, for instance, the guests have a choice of nine different food outlets, offering Western, Chinese, Asian and Indian Cuisine. is a 13-deck, 75,338-tonne ship and its sheer size means we have to produce an enormous number of meals. On an average day, we provide catering for 2,000 passengers, plus a crew of 1,000. Just in eggs alone, the ship’s consumption is 35,000 every week. How do you plan the ship’s menus? We like to plan three months in advance and take into consideration the latest market trends, new ingredients and guest preferences. The head chef of each outlet drafts his or her own menus, which are then reviewed by the food-and-beverage and galley teams. Different nationalities board at each port. How do you cater for them? The nationalities of our guests change with every cruise, but they’re often dependent on variables that we can predict, such as the schedule of school holidays around the 62 62 Q 2 2014 Q2 20 2 201 01 014 indulge What’s the most popular item on the menu?

In our Asian restaurant, the Blue Lagoon, for instance, bak-kut-teh [a Chinese soup] and fish-head noodle soup are the most popular. At the Chinese banquet in Noble House, everyone loves the Peking duck. In the Japanese restaurant, Samurai, salmon sashimi and avocado salad is a big hit, while Palazzo offers Italian fusion and here spaghetti lobster is a favourite among guests. Is there a dish you think most people should try and why? The Peking duck at Noble House. The taste and crispiness of the skin is exceptional. If you like fish, then the salmon sashimi and avocado salad of Samurai has an interesting combination of flavours and a unique presentation. Which is your favourite port and why? Hong Kong. When disembarking from the vessel you’re immediately in the centre of Kowloon, which is really exciting. Even on board, whether we’re docked or sailing through, there is an unforgettable view of the city, with Victoria Harbour on one side and Tsim Sha Tsui on the other.

It was the mid 1980s and Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay, then an executive with the Genting Group run by his father, Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong, was working on the development of the Grand Lucayan Beach Resort on Grand Bahama. As the resort took shape, he watched a series of sleek cruise liners sailing by; North America’s budding cruise industry was just taking off and Lim Kok Thay (also known as KT Lim) realised it was only a matter of time before Asians were looking to holiday in the same way. “When I returned to Asia I saw the potential for a worldclass cruise line here,” he says. His reasoning was sound: Asia had a growing prosperity and beautiful natural scenery – perfect for cruising. And importantly, there was no competition in Asia at that time. From the start KT Lim, now T 70 Q2 2014 i n d u l g e Chairman and Chief Executive of the Genting Group, wanted to do things differently; he called it “freestyle cruising”. There would be no ties or tuxedos, just a relaxed resort ambience where guests choose what to do and when. His ships would be floating five-star resorts for everyone. Today, KT Lim’s vision has become the award-winning Star Cruises, Asia’s leading cruise operator which, in 2013, celebrated its 20th anniversary. It has a fleet of 20 ships cruising to 200 destinations under the brands Star Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line. But success didn’t happen overnight: though KT Lim was sure of the idea for an Asian cruise operator he needed to convince his father, the late Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong, who was Chairman of the company. Together they visited the local cruise industry based in Miami and luckily Lim Goh Tong liked what he saw. “It was my first acquaintance with the industry,” he wrote in his 2004 autobiography, My Story. “I told myself if I went into this industry I would buy the biggest and best cruise ships . .. and make my entry as a major player in Asia.” The opportunity arose in 1993. An operator with two newly built 1,700-passengercapacity ships had run into financial difficulties. Genting made a cash offer of US$162.5 million, which was accepted, and Star Cruises was incorporated in the same year. Though the cruise industry was non-existent in Asia at that time, Lim Goh Tong stood firm. “I was convinced investing in Asia’s cruise industry was the right move at the right time,” he wrote. The first Star Cruises liner Star Aquarius arrived in Singapore in December 1993 for its maiden voyage. In 1998 the company took delivery of its first new-build ship SuperStar Leo followed by SuperStar Virgo in 1999. The new ships were an instant hit. In November 2000 Star Cruises listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. In the same year it expanded with the purchase of Norwegian Cruise Line, making Star Cruises the third-largest cruise operator in the world. The new cruise ships allowed Star Cruises to tap into the more established markets of North America and Europe, with cruises to destinations from Hawaii and the Bahamas to the Mediterranean, Canada and the Mexican Riviera. In November 2002, the dual arrival of SuperStar Aries and SuperStar Leo in Shanghai made maritime history as it was the first time that two world-class cruise liners had been berthed alongside each other at Gao Yang Pier.

Norwegian Cruise Lines listed on New York Stock Exchange in January 2013. The investment continues with the order of a brand-new 4,500-passenger-capacity ship, designed especially for the Asian market.
