Editor's Note
“Serious sport has nothing to do
with fair play. It is bound up with
hatred, jealousy, boastfulness,
disregard of all rules and sadistic
pleasure in witnessing violence.
In other words, it is war minus
the shooting.”
So said George Orwell, and if
you agree with his standpoint (a
bit OTT, I fancy he had just lost
a game of ping pong to Ernest
Hemingway and wrote those
words in anger) then Shanghai is
in for World War III this month,
and Andrew Chin is our battlehardened correspondent.
First up, in basketball the
Brooklyn Nets take on the
Sacramento Kings, and Mr. Chin
took the chance to look back over
the history of the NBA in China
(p54). Oh, and talk about the future of basketball in the country
with none other than Yao Ming
(p58). He also looks forward to
the CBA season, and the arrival of
The Pandas Friend (p59).
“Hockey is a sport for white men.
Basketball is a sport for black
men. Golf is a sport for white
men dressed like black pimps.”
Tiger Woods said that. Well he
is no longer king of the pimps.
That crown rests on the unlikely,
boyish head of Rory McIlroy. Chin
went big pimpin’ with him too
ahead of the BMW Masters (p60).
Marin Čilić just won tennis’ US
Open. Guess who spoke to him
about taking off all his clothes
like coach Goran Ivanišević? Yup,
Chin (p62). Finally, just to prove
he is not afraid of the frontline,
Erik Crouch gives you the rundown of the Asian Le Mans (p64).
OCTOBER
There is plenty of non-sport stuff
too. New Food & Drink Editor
Betty Richardson not only tells
you where best to gobble down
one of the town’s most famous
residents, the Shanghai hairy
crab (p70), but also takes us on
a gourmet tour of Bali (p36).
Meanwhile, Marianna Cerini
takes a look at the movers and
shakers in China’s fashion industry, from the model to the blogger
to the It Girl (p28).
I’ll sign off with the wise words
of Matthew Hansen: “It’s not
the winning that counts, nor the
taking part; it’s the making fun
of the little fat kid who always
comes in last.”

Market crash
The People’s Park marriage market has been a match-making hotspot in the city for nearly a decade, but
its time may be coming to an end. Authorities cracked down on the market in early September, aiming to
catch scammers and unlicensed matchmakers red handed. Illicit matchmakers have been found charging exorbitant fees and failing to deliver a proper partner for those in need. But true love never dies: police have vowed to fight the fraudsters while leaving the legitimate love masters to do what they do best.

Pool photos
Taobao troubles
China’s insatiable appetite for
wedding photos has led us into
new territory: underwater
glamor shots. With long, flowing dresses and waterproof
make-up, participants can strike
a pose or two before their love
of dazzling, floating photos
is surpassed by their love of
oxygen. A Shanghai-based photography group that offers such
services claims to make up to
RMB500,000 per month. Time to
invest in a glass pool and a few
lenses?
A Taobao customer in Shanghai got
quite the shock last month after he
left a low rating on an online shop
and received an ominous response. A
body bag. Delivered to his door. The
customer, surnamed Xue, traced the
threatening corpse-container back to a
store that had sold him some low-quality footwear online. Taobao told Xue it
would suspend the shop’s activity, but
it didn’t act in time to stop the store from attempting to send Xue an
expensive refrigerator marked ‘pay upon delivery.’

HELP
School stress
A Shanghai counseling service
has set up a 24-hour hotline
specifically reserved for
stressed out school teachers,
because education anxiety
isn’t confined to students alone. Education officials have said that
kindergarten and primary school teachers face tremendous pressures
from constantly criticizing parents, while gaokao-preparation woes
have struck teachers in higher grades. The counseling service boasts
30 psychologists at three different centers, all working to alleviate the
city’s terrible teaching tension.
If you have a fancy designer
handbag, don’t bring it to the
zoo. If you must bring it to the
zoo, don’t drop it into the tiger
pit. Simple enough rules. Yet
one visitor to the Shanghai Zoo
left empty-handed after she lost
her grip on her handbag and
it careened into a river in the
white tiger enclosure. A nearby
cat swiftly snatched up the bag,
dragged it onto the grass and
mauled it. Let this be a lesson to
all of you.
Metro
It. Just. Keeps.
Growing.
Construction of Shanghai’s
Metro Line 14, the last big subway network to pass through
the downtown area, will begin
early this month. The new 39kilometer line (seen above in
dark blue) will have 31 stations
spread across five districts —
Jiading, Putuo, Jing’an, Huangpu
and Pudong New Area — and
connect to a whopping 15
other lines, including at Pudong
Avenue, Lujiazui, Yuyuan Garden
and Jing’an Temple stations.

Liam Reardon
Britain’s Shanghai Consul
General was in the news last
month after he and his ChineseAmerican partner, Scott Chang,
were married in the Beijing residence of the British Ambassador.
Although gay marriage is
by no means legal in China,
Davidson and Chang were wed
thanks to a loophole in Britain’s
same-sex marriage legislation
that allows British diplomats to
preform gay marriage ceremonies overseas provided at least
one of the partners has British
heritage, whether or not the host
country recognizes the union.
The ceremony has sparked a
mixed reaction on China’s social
media, but a large number of
people wished the newlyweds
well, showing their support for
the marriage.
Wei Jiangang, founder of
Beijing gay rights group Queer
Comrades, attended the ceremony, which was the first legal
gay marriage that he had experienced. He described it as something that “sends a very good
and positive message to China’s
gay community.”
Homosexuality is still a taboo subject among some circles
in China, but there is reason to
think that the public is warming to the idea. An (admittedly
non-scientific) poll was held
on Weibo last month in which
89,000 people voted in favor
of same-sex marriage and only
8,000 users voted against it.

“I was in a bad mood.”
The words of Mr. Lu, while on trial last month for torching nine cars
in Zhejiang province. Lu said that he was “bored,” and “just wanted a
release,” so he decided to light a stranger’s car on fire. He proceeded
to do the same to eight more vehicles, causing RMB800,000 in property damage. Ever the gentleman, after starting this automobile inferno, Lu hung around and tried to put the flames out. He was, sadly,
unsuccessful.
That’s the number of divorces
between Chinese and foreign
nationals processed by the
Supreme People’s Court in 2013,
a hefty 26 percent upswing from
the previous year’s statistic.
Chinese-foreign marriages are
going through some rocky times,
which the court blames primarily on cultural difference and, of
course, arguments over finances.
The court has recommended
that gleeful spouses-to-be take
a moment to engage in just one
more tried and true wedding
tradition before tying the knot:
the pre-nup.

Locks were sheared and curls chopped last month after the No. 1
Middle School of Huairou District, Beijing, decided to crack down on
its shaggy haired youth. Three students were suspended from their
first day of middle school for having hair that was “too distracting,” an
offense that could include, among other things, dye or a perm. Girls
are required to keep their hair in braids or ponytails, and long or polished fingernails are forbidden. No distractions! Ever!

Five mao notes aren’t particularly useful for purchasing anything
pricier than a stick of gum, but it turns out they are excellent for
trolling local iPhone retailers. A “mysterious man” hauled in 4,000
of the notes, tied into bricks and stuffed in burlap sacks, to buy an
iPhone 5s in Wenzhou, Zhejiang province last month. The vendor
accepted his payment, although if he tries this with a car dealer or
real estate agent, we doubt he’ll be as lucky.

Hits and misses in the

he most iconic photo submitted to
Chinese cellphone maker OnePlus’s
recent contest was a girl holding both
of her hands up, middle fingers extended.
One hand had the OnePlus logo written on it
in black ink and the other hand said, “Don’t
be sexist!” The headline read “OnePlus asks
women to participate in degrading contest to
get a smartphone.”
The campaign was not a success.
Maybe it had seemed like a good idea at
the time? The cellphone company had been
able to generate much excitement about its
upcoming ‘One’ smartphone, which was receiving rave reviews online. “A tiny Chinese
startup has made my favorite new smartphone of the year” gushed a Business Insider
headline. The phone featured top-of-the-line
hardware, sleek looks and a mind-blowing
low price.
Seeking to capitalize on the buzz,
OnePlus launched a campaign this August
entitled ‘Ladies First.’ The company invited
women to submit photos of their bodies with
the OnePlus logo written on their “hand/
face/wherever” — but did include the admonition, “Ladies, no nudity please” — promising that whoever received the most ‘likes’

online would win an invitation to buy the
new phone — they still had to pay, mind you
— and a t-shirt. Accusations of sexism ensued, and the company pulled the competition and issued a hasty apology, calling their
campaign “a misguided effort.”
PR disasters have become commonplace
in the world of Chinese cellphone manufacturers. Xiaomi, the country’s most popular
homegrown phone company, continually
takes one step forward and two steps back in
attempts to distance itself from, as The New
York Times put it in a headline last June, “aping Apple.”
Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun, in turn, has repeatedly said that he is tired of the constant com-
parisons to Apple, and Hugo Barra, the Vice
President of Xiaomi Global, has called such
claims “sensational.” Xiaomi’s software, after
all, is significantly different from Apple’s, and
the company has produced several products,
like a TV, that have no equivalent in Apple’s
catalog.
Nevertheless, just this summer the
company was caught using an Apple stock

Look familiar?
Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun shows off the
company's rocketing sales
image in an official Xiaomi advertisement,
literally copying-and-pasting one of Apple’s
icons (Barra later called the incident, “someone’s stupid mistake). Anyone familiar with
Apple products would easily see parallels in
Xiaomi’s designs (see right), and the company’s use of Apple taglines in official presentations isn’t exactly helping. (Also, one can
simply drop the letter “M” from the Mi Pad or
Mi phone.)
While PR may not be their strong suit,
companies like Xiaomi and OnePlus do excel
where it counts: making and selling phones.
This August, Xiaomi passed Samsung to
become the most-sold cellphone brand in
the country, despite the company being just
barely four years-old. OnePlus’s One receives
reviews that border on disbelief (“It doesn’t
make sense that the OnePlus One should be
this inexpensive,” raves Engadget).
“Innovation is improving and catering
to market demands, and that’s what Chinese
firms are great at. It’s not invention, it’s innovation,” explains Shaun Rein, author of the
upcoming book The End of Copycat China.
“Even Steve Jobs didn’t invent anything, really. He didn’t invent the mobile phone, mp3
players or computers, he just improved what

was already on the market.”
Chinese cellphone companies have become exceptionally adept at innovating new
ways of selling phones. Both Xiaomi and
OnePlus are conspicuously absent in realworld stores, preferring to save on overhead
and sell all of their products through online
raffles. These have become wildly successful,
with Xiaomi selling 100,000 phones in just 90
seconds last summer.
The companies also sell their devices
at staggeringly low prices, undercutting the
competition. “They [Xiaomi] sell pretty much
at cost, and then make money afterwards selling services and apps,” Rein says. Xiaomi is
able to sell their phones at virtually no profit,
and then pull in money from sales in phone
accessories and — most importantly — a
share of all of the transactions conducted
usings its software services. Samsung’s competitor to the Xiaomi Mi4 costs more than
twice as much.
“People are being choosy, showing very
little loyalty to Samsung — and why should
they?” TechInAsia’s Steven Millward tells
That’s Shanghai. “Local phone makers like
Xiaomi, Huawei, ZTE, Coolpad, Lenovo,
Meizu, Oppo and OnePlus are finding it
relatively easy to woo people away from
Samsung with their much lower pricepoints.”
It has proved easy for Chinese brands to
take control over the budget phone market,
but the gold standard is the iPhone, and
it’s proving difficult to unseat Apple at the
top. When the iPhone 5 came to China, it
sold more than two million units in the first
three days. When the even more expensive
iPhone 5s was released in the Mainland last
September, Apple’s online store sold out
within minutes.
Apple has a stellar reputation in China,
and brand loyalty is strong, but feelings can
change quickly. The internet seethed with
desperate anger last month when Apple —
after initially advertising that the Mainland
would be included in the iPhone 6 release
— cancelled the Chinese launch of their new
lead » CITY
phone at the last moment.
Last year’s iPhone 5 was released simultaneously in the USA and in China, and many
had expected the same pattern this year.
Following Apple’s announcement, Internet
users condemned the company as “ungrateful” and “traitors” who had insulted the
country.
“They [Apple] are shooting themselves in
the foot,” says Rein, talking about the iPhone
6 launch. “China is their fastest growing market and second largest market overall, [but
current CEO Tim] Cook is following Steve
Jobs in marking it an America-centric company.” Apple’s stock price fell nearly 3% after
it announced the delay.
At first, it was unclear what caused the
delay, and rumors seared through the internet at a pace normally reserved for photos
of cats. Some said that Apple failed to obtain
a permit from China’s Ministry for Industry
and Information Technology, while others
maintained that the delay was intentional
on Apple’s part, and was meant to punish
Chinese companies who leaked images of the
iPhone 6 before launch.
The former now seems most likely;
Xinhua News reported that, although the
iPhone 6 received approval for use on China’s
cellular networks, it failed to obtain an additional permit needed for sale within the

country. Some speculate that Mainland consumers may have to wait until 2015 before
they can get their hands on Apple’s latest
creation.
The delay has given some Chinese cellphone users a new perspective. When Apple
first made its announcement, Weibo lit up
with calls to boycott Apple products and buy
domestic instead. Reviews comparing the
new phone to Xiaomi’s Mi4 have, in some
cases, sided with the Chinese brand.
Nevertheless, the iPhone 6 is sure to be
a success when it eventually hits Chinese
shores. Its release in Hong Kong immediately
created a cottage industry of resellers to
the Mainland, with prices hitting between
RMB15-20,000.
A YouTube video entitled “Black Market
Takes Over the iPhone 6 Lines” went viral
when a man in New York City followed a
group of Chinese customers as they waited in
line for days outside a New York Apple store,
bought the new phone and promptly handed
it off to a group of men down the street, presumably for export. The iPhone isn’t going
away any time soon, but it also isn’t running
unopposed, and — as getting ahold of one
in China is only getting more difficult and
expensive — the alternatives are starting to
look better and better.
In August, just as OnePlus was realizing
the mistake of its ‘Ladies First’ contest, their
phone was reviewed in The Guardian as “simply the best combination of hardware and
software, at a more-than-fair price.”
In an article that initially spurned Xiaomi’s
Mi4 “a big iPhone,” the reviewer eventually
concluded that it was “one of the best smartphones of the year.” OnePlus is gaining admirers throughout the US, while Xiaomi is targeting India as its next big market.
Chinese companies may still be figuring
out the Do’s and Don’ts of public relations,
but Apple isn’t the only company producing
high quality devices any more. At this rate, it
may only be a matter of time before companies abroad are accused of “aping Xiaomi.”

caught up with him and got the lowdown on
how this comic, storyteller, game show host
and reality TV persona will be spending his
time in the city.
What are you hoping to achieve in your
two months in Shanghai?
Most places bring a comedian in for a week or
just a night. Being given two months is an extraordinary gift for a comic like me who wants
to learn and absorb as much about the place
as I can. It’s an exciting time in Shanghai right
now. There is such a crush of different cultures, ideas. And some of the most interesting
people I have ever met seem to be drawn to
the city. I get to live a normal life as someone
in the city, and then stand in front of audiences as the outsider telling stories. I can’t wait!
As part of the residency, you’re hosting a
stand-up comedy game called Punch. Lines.
Could you give us some details about the
concept?
I am really proud of this and think the crowds
will love it. Essentially it’s a simple memory
game, but instead of contestants being asked
about movies or history, the questions are
about a stand-up who just did a short set. We
bring two rounds of three people on stage
each. The first person to get 10 questions
correct wins the round. We bring on another
comic for the ‘speed round’ portion at the end
to see who will be the champion of Punch.
Lines.
I host it as a sort of sarcastic but curious guy,
poking fun and keeping things moving along.
The comics who have been on the show when
18
I was only on a single
show but I spent three
days returning email
from people all across
America
I’ve done it in San Francisco love to see what
exactly the audience remembers from their
sets, and the audiences love it because it’s a
fast moving game show with a lot of laughter.
Think of The Dating Game mixed with something from HBO and an American smart-ass
holding it all together.
Do you make adjustments to your material
to cater to an international audience?
This will be my third time performing in
Shanghai. There are lot of subjects that are
universal — love and sex being the most popular — but I really enjoy talking to the crowd.
The last time I was there we had a bachelor
party from Israel, four fashion women from
Russia, a handful of Americans and then every
sort of person, job and opinion in between. As
a comic, you rarely get to interact with such a
diverse audience. It makes for one-of-a-kind
shows for everyone. Audiences leave knowing that was their show. That’s my goal every
time: make each show unique.
You made a name for yourself as one of
San Francisco’s most unique comics. How
influenced were you by the alt-comedy
scene San Francisco is known for, with
figures like Mr. Show, Patton Oswald and
others?
Wow, that’s a huge question and you have
generously included me with Patton. San
Francisco has always been that one city where
being different really mattered. We police our
own when it comes to stuff that might have
been done before, and we push each other
to come up with the freshest or most honest
take on a subject.
I remember watching Patton when he first
came to town. Like a lot of comics at the time,
his idea was to come there, work on his act
and then move on to LA. It worked for him
wonderfully. As for the alt scene, I think it is
just about storytelling and slowing things
down so you can include more of the real
story rather than an edited quick punchline.
I think it clearly had an influence on me because my style has evolved to include a lot of
storytelling, too.
You appeared on Last Comic Standing. How
was that experience?
I have just recently auditioned for season nine
of Last Comic Standing. Previously, I was only
on a single show but I spent three days returning email from people all across America
who had seen me. It was my first real lesson
in the scope of fame and how important those
shows are. I would do it again in a heartbeat!
After Shanghai, what’s next?
I hope to lay the groundwork for a speedy
return. I will be in Hong Kong and Singapore
next year and I have a feeling the game show
is going to be huge! Besides, two months in
China should give me at least an hour of stuff
to talk about back home.

Return of the
clean comic
Dennis Regan is back
BY Andrew Chin
D
ennis Regan is a
Miami-born comedian who has
made a name for himself
as a class act on stage
and acclaimed writer
for the sitcom King of
Queens. He has appeared
on the Late Show with
David Letterman, the
Tonight Show with Jay
Leno, yet still made some
time to catch up with little ‘ol us…
You were a writer for several years on The King of Queens. How is
it fitting your comedic voice into a structured sitcom?
Writing for the sitcom was a big change. I went from having no bosses
for 15 years to having 15 bosses overnight. But everybody was cool. I
had fun and learned a lot about comedy from some brilliant people.
When you write for a sitcom it’s not about fitting your comedic
voice into the show, it’s more about learning how to write for the
characters in the show. You can’t just come up with something funny,
you have to write things that the character would say.
There was a lot of comedic talent on the show, with Patton Oswalt,
Jerry Stiller and Kevin James - what was it like working with
them?
When you write for a show, you spend 90 percent of your time with
the writing staff and a much smaller amount with the actors. But it
was fun to write for actors like Kevin James and Patton Oswalt knowing that if you gave them good material they would not disappoint.
Jerry Stiller is not a loud guy like the characters he played on
Seinfeld and The King of Queens. He is a rather quiet, thoughtful, and
even poetic man.
You have a reputation for clean comedy, perfect for corporate and
family gigs. Is that something you do intentionally? And do you
ever have the urge to go all Bob Saget on an unsuspecting audience?
Although I take pride in being able to work clean, I don’t like to promote myself that way. And I never make any promises along those
lines unless it’s a corporate gig. There’s a pretty hard edge to my comedy and I like to be spontaneous. What is often referred to as adult
humor is very often just sophomoric and crude. But look, I can use
bad words.... f#%*, m*^%}# f*}#^%*.

They will try again in the spring.

STREET LIFE
Tibetan sidewalk peddlers
words by karoline kan, photos by noemi cassanelli
W
hile the label ‘ant tribe’ usually describes well-educated but
poorly-paid Chinese graduates,
it seems more suited to Tibetan street peddlers. Working as a team, they live together
in shabby accommodation and scuttle about
the city in the shadows of skyscrapers. They
may sell similar wares but they are defined
by companionship, not competition.
Many are middle-aged and female, two
characteristics that make them more approachable than other minority groups in
the street trade.
Often former herders or farmers, and
mostly hailing from rural villages in Tibet
and ethnically Tibetan areas of Sichuan,
these street sellers share a familiar story:
there are fewer opportunities and less money in their rural hometowns.
“I have to work far away from home even
though the standard of living is much worse
for us here,” says 31-year-old Jing Cu, who
pays RMB500 a month for a room with no
heating and scant floor space beyond a bed
and a stand.
With no strategy for their trade, there is
something unpredictable about how the peddlers conduct business. They often head out
if the weather is good and stay at home making crafts when it’s not, explains Zhuo Ma.
“As for the time and location – sometimes
it depends on the chengguan [urban management officers]. When they are at work, we
take a rest. When they go east, we go west.”
But despite their caution, none of the
vendors we speak with have ever been fined.
The Tibetans’ identity offers them unique
protection, says Mr. Liu, a chengguan.
“In the first few years, we treated them
the same as we did Han people, but that
only attracts more trouble,” he explains.
“Any crackdown is seen as a political and
ethnic minority issue, so we just ignore them
most of the time. If there are fewer than
five Tibetan peddlers gathering in the same
street we don’t bother saying anything.”
The street sellers are well aware of their
special treatment and must play it to their
advantage. As well as attracting sales, their
traditional clothing can also deflect unwanted attention from the authorities.
“Even though some of us don’t dress like
this at home we must do it here. It differentiates us from the Han Chinese sellers and
keeps us out of trouble,” Zhuo Ma says of the
coexistence between seller and state.
The protection offered by these women’s
Tibetan identity does not make up for other
disadvantages, however. Their limited education and poor spoken Mandarin can leave
them with fewer opportunities than migrants from other provinces.
We ask another peddler, Na Mu, of her
dreams, but she does not know the word
‘dream’ in Chinese. “What do you want the
most?” we rephrase. “To collect enough
money to pay for my two children’s college
tuition,” she tells us, momentarily raising her
gaze from the yak fur she diligently crafts.

DONNIE DOES duck Boat
Cruising the Huangpu with China’s gigolo scene
BY Zach Etkind
S
o a little while back my friend got a call
asking him if he would like to be paid
RMB500 just to enjoy a three hour
VIP luxury river cruise filled with women,
free food and free champagne. He was told
to wear a suit, be clean shaven and that he
might have to do a catwalk at some point.
That was pretty much it. Naturally, I decided
to tag along, crash the party, and see how
weird this would really get.
When we arrived at the boat my buddy
and 14 other white guys were immediately
told to change into white suits. They were
then told to line up across from each other
on either side of a red carpet on the dock as
about 300 wealthy looking Chinese people
piled onboard.
Women see hiring
foreign ‘ducks’ as
revenge for their
husbands ignoring 
them and fooling
around with other
women
22
Once everyone was on the
boat, they told my buddy and the
other white boys to go upstairs to
rehearse some sort of performance. I decided to stay downstairs
and crush the free flow champagne and
gourmet buffet, because the spread was incredible.
I’m talking sushi, clams, prawns, smoked
salmon, sweet and sour pork, chocolate fondue fountain… you name it. I think my favorite item was the cured cow’s leg they were
serving. This was some Game of Thrones shit.
I was the only white dude downstairs
amongst 300 Chinese VIPs, just shoveling
food into my mouth, spilling cocktail sauce
on my RMB200 suit, and slurping down
dozens of champagne flutes. I was having the
time of my life. They even had a Chinese guy
with a saxophone come out and start playing the solo from George Michael’s ‘Careless
Whisper.’
After we ate, all the guests were told to
head to the roof of the boat for the rest of the
show. This is when shit started getting weird.
The MC announced that we would now see
an ‘Ukranian dance.’ In China an ‘Ukranian
dance’ apparently means two small Chinese
dudes dressed in skimpy leather sadomasochistic gear having epileptic seizures
to trashy European techno music (because
that’s exactly what happened next).
After that ‘performance’ – and as if
things couldn’t get anymore random – Raz-B
from American RnB group B2K comes out
lip-syncing and busting dance moves straight
outta the movie You Got Served. He then
starts bringing women up on stage and singing to their… special lady parts (check him
out in action down there).
And now for the grand finale: my friend
and all the other white dudes come out
dressed in sailor suits looking like the Village
People and start strutting their stuff on catwalk like its Fashion Week in Paris.
Here’s the kicker, my friend later tells me
that all the foreign dudes on the boat were
pretty much glorified gigolos – or as they’re
known in China, ‘ducks’– who were working
for the karaoke club sponsoring the event.
If any of them managed to bring one of the
women from the boat
to the Karaoke club afterwards they would be
paid an extra RMB800
and could expect a tip
between RMB1,0003,000 from the woman
themselves for making
them feel ‘special.’
That’s right folks, here
in Shanghai tall white boys
can make decent cash just
hanging out with wealthy Chinese women.
The way I see it, most of these women probably see hiring foreign ‘ducks’ as revenge for
their husbands ignoring them and fooling
around with other women.
Would I do it? Yeah, probably –if the
price was right and I could get drunk beforehand. It sure as hell pays better than working
as Donald Duck at Happy Valley amusement
park.
All in all, a wicked and weird night. I got
to drink free champagne to my heart’s content, crush an unbelievably delicious spread,
meet a G-list celebrity and learn about the
underground world of gigolos. No regrets.

Town Crier!
Holidays, air raids and golden cabs
BY Erik Crouch
T
own Crier! posts at Thatsmags.com/
shanghai give a shout-out to local
happenings in the city, everything
from subway expansions to boxing tournaments. Here are the hottest posts from
September…
Tacky taxi
London-style cabs
will soon be hitting
Shanghai’s streets,
with their long
stylish hoods and
iconic, understated
style. Understatement, of course, is not for
everyone - that’s why these British wagons
will be getting a thick coat of eye-searing
golden paint before coming Shanghai way.
This level of sophistication comes at a
price: London-style cabs will have a starting fare of RMB19. With a ride as thoroughly
pimped as this, however, is any price too high?
Air raid!
On September 20,
you may remember (or have been
woken up by, you
late-sleeper,
you) a quite
unpleasant
droning
sound that
made the entire city feel as though
it were placed within an ambulance
siren. Well, you can come out of your
soup can-packed bomb shelter, because
it was just a drill.
The third Saturday of every September
is annual National Defense Education Day, or
as we’ll call it, Annual Crazy Loud Air Raid
Day. Community centers and schools organize drills and lectures about public safety
and emergency measures, while we close our
windows and crank up the tunes.
Schedule switch
The Chinese
holiday
system may
be getting
a thorough
overhaul
that could,
in theory, make us kiss our Golden Week
goodbye.
While one may think that most people
would welcome a restructuring of the holiday system – if you have ever seen an urban
train station during a holiday or watched
flight prices triple on certain dates, you’ll
know what we’re talking about – a poll last
year asked many in China what they would
consider the ‘ideal’ vacation time: the winner? The traditional option of 7 days off at
National Holiday. We. Don’t. Like. Change.

Style Secrets
Alexandra Martina Rolfe, creative director at
Select 18 and founder of alexandra & martina
What’s your background?
I studied fashion and textiles in England
before going into fashion buying. I worked at
Oasis and GAP in London first, then moved
to Hong Kong to work for a German brand
called Colloseum. My partner and I arrived in
Shanghai six years ago and decided to launch
Select 18. I also have my own brand, alexandra & martina, which does vintage-inspired
wear.
What’s Select 18?
Select 18 is a concept-cum-vintage store.
My boyfriend Thomas Lee started it in Hong
Kong around eight years ago – one of the
first retro stores at the time. The name came
from the shop number but was also inspired
by the wide range of products we stock. Our
selection spans vintage furniture, lighting,
clothing and accessories from around the
world, as well as high-end designer pieces,
glasses and shades. I like to think of it as
a combination of old and new, past and
present, indie labels and bespoke items.
What’s a typical day for you?
I alternate between working from home and
at the shop. If I’m at Select 18 I do anything
from updating visual merchandising to creating looks and taking care of social networking. When it’s an alexandra & martina day I
either design, visit factories, source fabrics,
look for stockists or work on my website. I’ve
always got lots going on!
Latest fashion purchase?
A navy and cream vintage 1940s silk scallop edge dress from Camden Passage in
Islington, London – a street filled with antique stalls and shops.
What draws you to vintage wear?
Nostalgia. I like the experience of browsing
through vintage shops or flea markets. I love
the uniqueness factor. I also think that the
quality of retro garments is often far better
than what’s on offer on the high street.
If you could travel back in time to any decade of the past, which one would that be?
The 1960s. Fashion-wise, the silhouettes
from that period really suit my body shape.
That decade is also when fashion started
to become quite fun. I am a big fan of Mary
Quant and MOD dressing. After watching
Mad Men, I would quite happily go back to
that time.
Shanghai fashion scene. Discuss.
It’s complicated! There’s a lot going on, but
people are definitely becoming more daring in their fashion choices. Despite the
heavy presence of high-end designer brands,
there’s a growing interest in indie labels and
vintage – more and more people are looking
for something different.
What’s in your bag right now?
MAC Ruby Woo Red lipstick, iPhone, a comb,
wallet, notebook, sunglasses and a USB stick.

Baidu glasses
Eco Ride
Move over Google Glass – Baidu Eye is what tech cool is all about
this season.
After over one year of speculation, the Chinese tech company
unveiled its answer to Google Glass last month, presenting what
we think is a rather hot-looking device at the Baidu World conference in Beijing.
Unlike Google Glass, Baidu Eye sends visual information to the
user’s mobile device, making it “easier to browse than on a small,
mounted screen.”
The working prototype is also visually different from Google
Glass – it wraps around the back of the head with a camera on one
side and an earpiece on the other. It doesn’t go across the face,
which means that a) it’s a lot less goofy-looking than its American
counterpart and b) Baidu won’t have to enlist the services of fashion names like Diane von Furstenberg (who designed a range of
Google frames) to try make it hip.
Expect it to give the US giant a run for its money.
Overheard
“You’re so youthful,
but what is to be done
about the pimples on
your face?”
Over the last decade, cycling has become as ubiquitous and cool as
flat caps and beards.
Bucking the trend, a gaggle of young, hip, independent bikes have
sprung up around the globe, spanning ultra sleek fixies, hybrid prototypes and traditional models done up in expensive frames.
Bamboo bikes – think ‘green’ two-wheels made from environmentally friendly materials and socially responsible supplies – have
also risen to the spotlight, offering a clever mix of function and form.
In Shanghai, the ones by Shanghai Bamboo Bike are definitely
worth a shout.
Founded in 2009, the venture is the brainchild of Swiss entrepreneur Robert Hartmann. It does bikes, frames and DIY sets, each
locally crafted and built to order with renewable bamboo.
The material, which covers 4.21 million hectares of land in
China, is durable and shock resistant, meaning it doesn’t shatter like
carbon fiber or dent like aluminum. It also makes for a responsive yet
comfortable ride, the stiff frame absorbing vibration the way a hunk
of bread mops up gravy.
Proving that a positive social impact doesn’t have to be paired with
an eye-poking aesthetic, the Shanghai Bamboo Bike range also packs
style aplenty, with a streamlined look that has a real wow factor.
Available for both kids and adults, these two-wheels don’t come
cheap (RMB3,500-20,000 for a special edition) but they sure cue citysavvy folks to a whole new (and cool) eco-credibility.
// 330 Fahuazhen Lu, by Panyu Lu 法华镇路330号, 近番禺路 (www.shanghaibamboobike.com)
That’s the deeply philosophical question POCO, a new Chinese beauty
app for smartphones, asks purchasers on its iTunes store entry. The
program – which is all the rage among Chinese women from teens
to mid-30s – consists of a “beauty camera” that takes heavily edited
photo portraits. The app’s enhancing features
are somewhat disarming. Besides transforming
‘disappointing’ regular faces into doll-like, porcelain masterpieces, options also allow to add
huge eyelashes and anime-like makeup, widen
pupils, plump lips and even reshape chins. The
final results – unrecognizable
fantasy images verging
on the cartoonish – can
be promptly uploaded on
Weibo or other social media accounts with the tap of
a screen. Creepy much?

They’re in fashion
The glossy posse making style headway in China
By Marianna Cerini
China’s fashion scene is changing. Fast.
Although status symbols still trump sartorial
savvy all too often with the country’s newly
minted, logo-saturated luxury retail market, a
creative awakening has started out over the last
few years, flourishing into an almighty call to
arms.
China and Shanghai Fashion Weeks, held
in Beijing and Shanghai this month, are a
snapshot of the industry’s strengths. Both
events have become increasingly more relevant
since launching over a decade ago, promoting a
passion for originality and propelling a growing
cluster of home-grown designers into the
international spotlight.
Chinese models, too, are slowly but
determinedly coming to the fore of the fashion
set – both globally and locally.
On a more organic level, the recent
proliferation of street style blogs and other
forms of fashion-oriented social media has
inspired new excitement in fashion across
the country. More people are embracing the
artistry of dressing and taking risks with what
they wear.
With this resurgence in mind, we’ve put
together some of the budding talents shaping
the nation’s fashion world and helping to change
the way we think of Chinese style and, why not,
Chinese cool.

The (micro) blogger
S
Han Huohuo
tick-thin, daringly flamboyant and with over 3.5 million
followers on Weibo, Han Huohuo is a top-tier bloggerista
and fashion star in his own right.
His first foray into media was as a writer for a newly
launched fashion section of a Beijing magazine. Shortly after, he
was hired as an editor at Marie Claire China, where he built up his
fashion knowledge and network.
Two years later in 2008 he launched his Sina blog, which now
counts 1.3 million readers. His Weibo account came one year after
that, and proved so impressively popular Han left Marie Claire to

Both platforms feature a stream of portraits of the blogger taking to city
streets in leather pants, designer purses, fur-lined coats and gold bracelets, or attending swanky fashion events around the world often accompanied by model/
actress and BFF Angelababy.
Fashion enthusiasts and insiders have fallen for Han in a big way; he now rubs
shoulders with the upper echelons of the fashion world, from Vogue China editor
Angelica Cheung to legendary designer Karl Lagerfeld.
Signature look: Androgynous. Han is famed for his avant-garde, experimental style – think women’s clutches, skin-tight black pants and the occasional high
heel mixed with a badass Mohawk.  
Beyond the blog: Like most successful bloggers, Han has expanded his reign
in the fashion realm well beyond his blog. He has had a few stints as a stylist and
designer, and curated editorial features for Hong Kong luxury department store
Lane Crawford and global fashion e-tailer Yoox.
He has also released two books, Fire Bible 2012 and Fire Bible 2013, which
feature a collection of photos showcasing his favorite styles as seen on Chinese
models, fashionistas and celebrities. That’s what we call good business acumen.

S
Lucia Liu
tylists are a relatively new phenomenon in China, but
Lucia Liu is rapidly establishing herself as the most
buzzed-about image-maker to work with both here and
abroad.
Based between Beijing and London, she completed a
degree in fashion design in the UK and worked in the British
capital for three years before returning to China to pursue a
career in styling.
She has worked on editorials and covers for magazines
like i-D, Glass and Dazed & Confused alongside a list of influential fashion photographers such as Pierre Debuscherre, JohnPaul Pietrus and Chen Man.
As Harper’s Bazaar China’s style director, Liu has styled a
number of high profile celebrities and fashion icons, from Fan
Bingbing to Maggie Cheung, Faye Wong, Lucy Liu and Vivienne
Westwood. She has also collaborated on advertising and style
advice campaigns for luxury brands, including Lane Crawford,
Absolute Vodka and Mo & Co de Paris.
Her editorials embody a visionary and edgy aesthetic
often verging on the dreamy and the surreal. “I like to
present people with images I envisage in my mind,” she says.
“Sometimes I just stare at buildings from my window for a
long long time, and I get a sudden spark.”
Words of wisdom: “As a stylist, you have many ideas and
inspirations that blend into a new concept. You have to grasp
people's merits and be able to play with different bodies, but
also different personalities. There are no rules you have to
stick to. That’s why I love the job so much.”
Style icon: Chloë Sevigny.
Often seen with: Mega actress Yao Chen and fashion photographer Chen Man.
A
Ming Xi
rising cluster of Chinese models has been commanding the global fashion spotlight over the last few years.
Shanghai-born Ming Xi is no doubt one of them.
The quirky beauty had her breakthrough as China’s representative for the Elite Model Look competition, and was chosen
by Givenchy’s director Riccardo Tisci to walk exclusively for the
Parisian fashion house in 2010 – a first for a Chinese model. Her
career has been on a constant upward trajectory since.
Moving easily between haute couture and ready-to-wear, the
25-year-old has starred in a slew of campaigns and magazines
and has walked in shows of designers including Lanvin, Christian
Dior, Vivienne Westwood and Alexander Wang.
Her ascent in the industry was recently cemented by
American designer Michael Kors, who chose her to walk a
splashy fashion show he held in Shanghai in May. Kors also sent
her to New York’s Met Gala in one of his custom gowns – another
sign that Ming is doing things right.
Last November, Ming made her debut as a Victoria Secret’s
Angel at the American lingerie brand’s outlandish fashion show,
following the footsteps of Liu Wen – one of the highest-paid
models in the world – and Sui He, who has been in the
show for the last three years.
She is currently ranked 32nd on Models.com’s top 50
list, after fellow Chinese beauties Liu Wen, Fei Fei Sun, Sui
He and Xiao Wen Ju, but is likely to climb higher thanks
to her escalating stardom. Supermodel status is only a
matter of time.
Beauty pointers: Prominent cheekbones and
playfully protruding ears, which have no doubt
helped her stand out from the throng.

The designer
Christopher Bu
A
30
Beijing Film Academy
graduate, Christopher
Bu reinterprets Chinese
culture with a modern mentality. He first entered the
fashion industry as a stylist to the stars, most notably Fan Bingbing, one
of his oldest client and
closest friends.
In 2011 the actress
encouraged him to
start his own label, and
that year wore one of
his creations on the red
carpet of the Cannes Film
Festival – a red craneembroidered gown that
received some serious kudos
from the fashion set. The following year, she chose another of Bu’s
frocks. The rest is (quite recent, admittedly) history.
The designer’s bespoke range has done
so well among well-moneyed Chinese women that he decided to expand into readyto-wear in 2012, when he launched
quirky and eclectic label Chris by
Christopher Bu. Shunning away from
the glitz of department stores and
commercial areas, he opened a
showroom down an unassuming
Beijing hutong last year – a bold
move for a newcomer.
Things are only picking up.
Last month, Bu made his international debut at Milan Fashion Week, one of
three Chinese designers to be showcased at the
prestigious multi-brand store No.30 MILANO as
part of fashion platform Style East.
He might not be a household name just yet,
but the Milan appearance, and the fact that he’s
been instrumental in Fan Bingbing’s increasing
visibility on the global fashion scene, certainly
says a lot about his potential.
The aesthetic: Bu’s collections are beautifully executed and visually charming, playing
with bold prints and sharp silhouettes that show
impressive artistry.
T
he Alexa Chung of China, Mega Meng
Meng is a fashion force to be reckoned
with. Stylist, model, filmmaker, blogger, designer and muse to others in the
industry (among other things) there’s
nothing the 25-year-old Beijinger hasn’t
had a hand in.
She launched her career in school, first
at London College of Fashion and then
Tsinghua, and has quickly become a regular attendee of fashion weeks in London
and New York, as well as a fixture at A-list
events in Beijing and abroad.
But Meng is not only famous for floating around and going to parties. Intensely
driven, she has worked with dozens of
publications, penning columns and fashion editorials in magazines like Vogue and
GQ, and has collaborated with the likes of
Lanvin, Lane Crawford and Yoox.
The ‘It Girl’
Mega Meng Meng
A fashion icon in the making, this girl is the
antithesis of loud and brash. Her style is thoroughly endearing and often described as “quirky”
(shorthand: she don’t dress like no Kardashian!)
In a world of female celebrities stumbling
around in six-inch stilettos and Hervé Léger
bandage dresses, Meng is a refreshing dose of
accessible prettiness, as opposed to aggressive
sexuality.
Why the Mega: “I love big, extraordinary
things,” she told W magazine, which profiled her as
one to watch in 2012.

Vega Zaishi Wang
A darling of China’s fashion pack, Vega Zaishi
Wang always enchants with her highly referential collections. Season after season, her
inspiration has spanned themes and ideas
as different as Mongolian nomad people, the
intergalactic vision of Alpha Lyrae and the
ancient country of Loulan.
For fall/winter 2014, the Beijingbased designer has been influenced by the
Reindeer People, herders who have roamed
the taiga of Northern Mongolia for thousands
of years. The result is a heavily masculine
line of garbs featuring winter staples such as
checked long blazers, dress pants and white
shirts.
A palette of deep blue and black, often
embellished with a leather trim here or a
fur details there, gives a cohesive feel to the
range’s grown up aesthetic. Contrasting such
somber hues it’s the occasional vibrant red,
seen on a dress or a jumper, which represents “the sacrifice that reindeers have made
for its owners through the ages.”
Sharply tailored and exquisitely put together, this is one of Wang’s strongest collections; an ensemble of garments heralding a
new level of maturity from the designer.

Whenever a guy friend asks us where to find
good menswear in Shanghai, we can’t help
but mention Project Aegis. It’s a rare
pleasure to be able to enthuse about a
stylish boutique, with a beautiful shop
fit and perfectly edited selection of
quality garments. This venture has
just that.
The manly outfitter has just
expanded its presence in town,
taking over the two-story space on
Taojiang Lu formerly occupied by
The Villa. The new offshoot comes
with an in-house coffee bar and some hipster-than-thou
fixtures (read: retro-looking arcade games and dark wood
flooring), as well as an impeccable stock of casual wear.
Modern-minded gents looking to master media-type
good looks with ease will find labels such as Rag&Bone,
Folk and Native Union, and anything from immaculate man
bags to the perfect casual blazer. On our visit, we were particularly enamored with the threads of Swedish menswear
brand Our Legacy – sharp, contemporary and oozing creative charm.

Launched in 2009 by Tiffany Wu and Lynn

leather handbags that beg to be admired.
The brand’s latest collection, titled “Nouveau
Native,” has been inspired by the Maasai
tribe of East Africa, and brings some interesting exotic elements to the Heirloom’s
aesthetic.
It features a range of multi-functional
totes in purple red, dark blue and mysterious
gray, each individually handcrafted and hand
stitched by the company’s team of expert
artisans.
Among the splurge-worthy selection,
we fell in love with the Crystal bag, which is
sizeable and multi-layered, and can be worn
either casually or more formally thanks to
its adjustable straps, and the Vivi tote, which
boasts a smarter look.

SUSANTSENG
Mixing feminine lines, sexy cuts and contemporary fabrics,
SUSANTSENG is a newly launched label and showroom specializing

The venture is the brainchild of Austrian-Taiwanese Su San
Tseng, a fashion enthusiast who, among other things, has had a
three-year stint at Italian brand Patrizia Pepe. Tseng’s keen eye for
quality textiles and sophisticated but sexy style forms the aesthetic
of the label.
The fall/winter collection, created around the theme “Modern
Day Fairytale,” bears witness to that, featuring an alluring sample of
sensual tailoring that manages to be both timeless and very much on
trend with the season, with sequined mini dresses, seductive mesh
tops and exquisite cashmere sweaters.
The showroom, on leafy Nanchang Lu, has a minimalist, luxurious modern layout, which emphasizes the clothes while giving the
space a high fashion appeal.

of prints and colors this season, with gray, oxblood and black creating
an aesthetic that is both sober and fluid, versatile and chic.
Founder and designer Olivia Gurdjan travels extensively around
Asia to seek the fabrics and prints she integrates in her garments, with
the aim to “create a flagship piece that would be at the crossroads between Japan and Paris.”
The range on offer
reflects such eclectic
aspiration. Each piece
beckons images of
exotic places and people, weaving Oriental

Keeping it simple

Wooden beams and vaulted ceilings are the house’s most striking feature. A wall of

Flavors of Bali
A foodie’s guide to the island’s culinary temptations
By Betty Richardson
Babi Guling Spesial at Ibu Oka
J
ust a six hour flight away from Shanghai, the Indonesian
island of Bali is a rewarding getaway from big city life, one
of the most diverse and authentic places in South East Asia
despite its rate of development.
For many, the tropical destination conjures up images of
swaying middle-aged hippies in bongo circles, or beachy
bleached-haired Australian surfers chugging back pints in bars.
In all honesty, that side is still very much present, both in the
southern resort enclaves of Kuta and Seminyak and in Ubud,
Bali's cultural heart on the island's central hills.
But a charming, mystic aspect recurs across the island; a
spectacularly vibrant culture characterized by the all-pervasive
Hindu Dharma – the uniquely Balinese branch of Hinduism
practiced by the majority of the population – which defines Bali’s life
and spirit and makes this a place travelers return to time and again.
36
This unique trait shines through Bali's cusine. At once exotic
and accessible, its heritage of food tantalizes the senses, making
eating one of the main pastimes to indulge in while on the island.
Like most things in Bali, how much one can spend on food
can vary wildly from almost nothing to several hundred dollars.
Sticking to local delicacies is of course more cost efficient, and
almost always incredibly delicious.
Spanning flavors packed with rich, spicy and aromatic notes,
Balinese cooking heavily features coconut, lemongrass, tamarind
and garlic as its most prominent ingredients.
Despite being surrounded by Muslim neighbors in other parts
of Indonesia, Bali’s Hindu influence means pork, rather than
beef, is the focus of most local dishes.

Babi Guling at Warung Ibu Oka, Ubud
One of Bali’s most beloved dishes, Babi Guling finds its roots deep
in the community soul of the island. A suckling roast pig like you’ve
never had before, the delicacy makes use of almost every part of the
animal and features around five different dishes, from pigskin and
grilled sausage to grilled and deep-fried pork.
While most local places specializing in Babi Guling do a decent
job of it, Warung Ibu Oka in Ubud goes a step further and has since
garnered a sizable reputation for its rendition of this classic.
Upon our visit, we found a relaxed, high-ceilinged dining hall
brimming with locals and tourists alike. Don’t look for attentive service here – the staff are slightly on the surly side, and you’re expected
to share your table with other diners if need be.
Nonetheless, the pork is unbelievably succulent, and the crackling
L@=;9L@9QJGGE%;GJHGJ9L=;GDGMJK
is the best you will ever taste. If you’d like something else besides the
roast, this isn’t the place: the shanty café serves Babi Guling alone.
Once its daily six roasted pigs sell out, service simply stops, so we’d
recommend arriving early in the afternoon to ensure you get a slice of
the action.
Served in a woven basket lined with brown paper, our Babi Guling
Babi Guling
Spesial consisted of juicy, roasted white meat, golden-brown crackling, coconut infused fresh greens and a couple of slices of blackened
blood sausage (trust us, that’s better than it sounds).
An intensely delicious and satisfying meal, we were tempted to
order another portion if we hadn’t been so full.

Balinese heritage cuisine at Pondok Tempo Doeloe, Kuta
A fantastic place to become initiated to Balinese culinary culture
is the unassuming Pondok Tempo Doeloe on Kuta’s Sunset Road.
Casual, affordable and somewhat of an institution, this spot offers
just about any classic of the island’s heritage food – and does so very
well.
Come at lunchtime and you'll find it filled with local families
sharing plates of their main specialty - grilled or fried snapper
washed down with glasses of fresh papaya juice or young coconut.
Those with a penchant for sweet treats should order their famed
avocado ‘juice’ with Hershey’s chocolate syrup. Incredibly filling –
one glass can come in at a whopping 500 calories – the shake is an
Indonesian favorite and a definite must-try.
Besides the aforementioned signature Ikan Bakar Tempo Deloe
(grilled fish), we reccomend sampling the excellent Ikan Nila Pesmol
(sweet and sour steamed tilapia), which arrived with a tangy tomato
relish, fried garlic and onions.
BBQ Pork ribs on the grill at Naughty Nuri's Warung
In addition to fish, the restaurant does a mean grilled lamb in
peanut, shallot and soy marinade that comes fresh from the onsite
kambing oven. Ordering a couple of plates of Javanese Indo favorites
like Mie Goreng Jawa (Javanese fried noodles) and Nasi Goreng Jawa
(Javanese fried rice) along with Tahu Tek, a delicious tofu and rice
dish with peanut sauce, and an aromatic yet light
Soto Ayam (chicken soup with glass noodles,
cassava chips and cabbage) should also be

Trilogy of foie gras at Métis
Life changing ribs and grilled hot hogs at
Naughty Nuri’s Warung, Ubud
Dine among the rice paddies at Métis,
Seminyak
Hot dogs and martinis might not be the most predictable choice
on an ‘authentic culinary journey of Bali,’ but a somewhat surprising
bastion of Ubud’s culinary scene is a shack that does just that – plus
barbecued ribs – and excellently so, all for less than ten dollars a pop.
Featuring a smoking barbecue laden with rib racks, Naughty
Nuri’s Warung is a simple road-side warung (small, family-owned
restaurants that are ubiquitous across Indonesia) describing itself as
a ‘funky street-side food haven.’ A firm favorite with locals, the BBQ
pork ribs here are sublime, and that’s something we don’t say very
often. Sweet, salty, chargrilled and incredibly tender, they come with
a simple wedge of lime that adds a citrusy tang to the rich flavors of
smoky pork and BBQ sauce.
We recommend going for the whole hog, and also ordering one of
Nuri’s signature hot dogs along with your rack of ribs. Consisting of
grilled paprika sausage, fresh sauerkraut and mustard on a charcoaltoasted bun, they are to die for. Then, of course, there are the restaurant’s “brutal” martinis. A signature drink, they are a perfect match to
the platefuls of barbecued meat. Just don’t try and drive your scooter
afterwards.
Somewhat unexpectedly given the upscale nature of Seminyak (home
to some of Bali’s most luxurious resorts), Métis is a relatively affordable option for casual fine dining this side of the island. Doubling up
as a boutique gallery and cocktail lounge, it is situated on the brink of
a lush rice paddy garden extending right up to the restaurant’s edge,
and represents an excellent choice for European cuisine.
The space is beautifully thought out and stylishly designed, with
luxurious touches and a relaxed atmosphere thanks to its open dining
area. The culinary range is all about French and Mediterranean fare,
with particular focus on foie gras, which has its own specialty menu.
Their Legendary Pan Seared Hot Foie Gras,with a port and raspberry reduction,is excellent, and so is their luxurious Trilogy of Foie
Gras, which comes paired with three types of accompanying relishes:
champagne; apple balsamic compote and red wine with Morello
cherry.

Fine dining under the stars at Mozaic,
Ubud
One of Bali’s most famous restaurants, Mozaic in Ubud is one
of the few places on the island with true claim to its ‘fine dining’
tagline. The menu is both conceptual and avant-garde, presenting
diners with a choice of four tempting six-course tasting menus that
change daily. The setting, too, is there to impress, with tables laid
out in a magical candle-lit tropical garden.
Delicate, imaginative and yet filling when it needs to be,
Mozaic’s food could be defined as French gourmet cooking reworked to honor local ingredients. Two particular highlights for
us were a confied coral trout, paired with a bizarre sounding but
delicious ‘curried corn and crab ragout’ in a red wine reduction; and
a Gindara Carpaccio served with macadamia nuts, vodka crème fraiche and vanilla from the neighboring island of Flores.
Starting at around RMB300 for a vegetarian menu and rounding
off at RMB650 for the ‘Chef’s Surprise Menu,’ this is undoubtedly
one of the priciest dining options in Bali, but its stunning cuisine
makes it absolutely worth it.

Nails is an excellent mani/pedi pit-stop in the swanky mall.
The little nail bar sits around six people and sorts out your
digits in a quick, efficient and long-lasting manner, making it optimal
for nails on the run.
An impressive selection of Essie polishes – the popular American
brand of nail lacquer that’s been around since 1981 – is of course a
major draw of this spot. The eager staff, who is happy to get stuck in
with the power tools to file off dead skin, is another.
Services range from a basic shape and polish (RMB118) to gel
nails (RMB450), which is what we treated our claws to.
The aestheticians preened our digits with patience and precision,
diligently shaping the tips and trimming cuticles. She then slicked on
a double coat of our favorite Essie shade, and proceeded to administer a brief-but-soothing hand massage with copious amounts of
divine-smelling BCL Spa’s organic moisturizer.
Gals fond of sporting shocking hues on their nail beds will appreciate the selection of neon, which punches up the otherwise standard
line-up of colors.
If you’re looking to save some dough on pampering after dropping too much in the nearby designer boutiques, this no-frills spot
might just be the place. MC

Modern Sky Goes Global
Meet the Mainland’s first modern music mogul
BY Andrew Chin
This year has been one of expansion
for the mighty Modern Sky Empire.
They’ve organized over 20 festivals
across the Mainland, introducing
the Strawberry Music Festival to
cities like Xiamen and Dali, and
have infiltrated the mainstream
with their artists’ songs covered on
popular reality TV singing shows like
Super Boy. They are even taking the
Modern Sky Festival to New York’s
Central Park from October 4-5. No
wonder movie star Maggie Cheung
(In the Mood for Love) hooked up
with them to start her music career.
“In the future, Chinese bands will become
like Japanese bands and have a small market
internationally. While people say it’s a problem that some bands only sing in Chinese,
I don’t care. It’s one world. People will respond to a good record.”
Sporting Beatles bangs and Raybans,
Shen Lihui looks every part the former frontman-turned-creative-connoisseur. He’s the
gatekeeper of Modern Sky – the Mainland’s
marquee indie label with over 80 record
releases and a vast roster stretching from
noise-rock (Hedgehog) to urban folk (Song
Dongye) to live electronica (CNdy) and even
1980s disco-pop (Zhang Qiang). He’s drawn
comparisons to Virgin’s Richard Branson for
his ambitious vision that’s redefining what’s
possible in the Chinese music industry.
The 45-year-old’s story mirrors the development of Mainland music. He discovered
pop when Wham! became the first Western
group to perform in Beijing in 1985. Three
years later, he started the quintet Sober with
classmates from the Beijing Arts and Crafts
Institute.
After graduation, he started his own
design and printing company, and by 1997
had saved RMB4 million. He decided to take
a gamble, and poured the lot into creating
Modern Sky. The label’s first release was his
group’s sunny debut, Hao Ji Le?  
As the only game in town, Modern Sky
sold hundreds of thousands of copies of early
records like dance-rockers New Pants’ selftitled debut. Their music magazine, complete
with CD compilations, were gospels spreading the word of rock across a nation.
“The China market is very special be-

stage for music
entertainment?
cause everything is still new,” he says. “At the
beginning, we were championing tastes. It
was great. We then had some tough years because there was a lot of CD copying. And then
everything became free with the Internet.”
Despite losing money on their releases,
the label soldiered on to its 10th anniversary. To celebrate, they held the first Modern
Sky Festival at Beijing’s Haidian Park with
American indie rock band the Yeah Yeah
Yeahs headlining a bill featuring over 120 of
the country’s finest acts.
Over 10,000 people attended and it was
a eureka! moment for the company, who is
now best known for the Strawberry Music
Festival – a May holiday tradition in Beijing
and Shanghai that attracts 30,000 people
and foreign performers like Justice and
Explosions in the Sky.
“A record label and a festival are the
same thing: cool,” Shen notes. “Now, we must
do everything. We release albums, but festivals are the most important to us and youth
culture. While Strawberry has some international bands, it’s still about 80 percent local
bands. It’s very important they are given
more chances to grow.”
The formula will be tested internationally in Central Park. Modern Sky’s expecting
10,000 people to watch a lineup that mixes
established acts like Stars, Blood Brothers
and Lenka with label standouts RE:TROS,
Secondhand Rose and Omnipotent Youth
Society. New York favorites Cat Power
and Liars headline, artists that made their
Mainland debuts this year with Modern Sky.
“It makes a lot of sense to bring a similar
concept to cities with big Chinese communitiese like New York, San Francisco and
Vancouver,” says Michael LoJudice, director
of International Affairs at Modern Sky.
“You’re engaging a massive community
of kids studying from China and music fans
who are curious. All these people there to
see Liars will also Queen Sea Big Shark.”
With previous stints at hip New York
indie labels like Grand Royal and SpinART,

reading about Modern Sky. Three months later, he opened their New York office, bringing
bands to China and organizing international
shows for the label.
“I saw bands like Hedgehog and New
Pants and knew this stuff could work
overseas,” he says. “Kids are going to like
RE:TROS and not just because of curiosity.”
Modern Sky’s first American foray came
with the 2009 Sing for China Tour. Three
bands packed in a van travelled from coast
to coast playing 20 shows in 22 days, an experience LoJudice recalls as “awesome but
torture.”
Their acts continue to play overseas.
New Pants performed at Coachella in 2011,
while post-punk pioneers Gang of Four took
RE:TROS with them on their Australian tour
last year. With upcoming projects in Sao
Paulo to coincide with the Olympics and ongoing talks to bring the Modern Sky Festival
to Helsinki next summer, LoJudice is excited
about all the possibilities.
“Modern Sky wants to grow internationally. We have a lot to leverage. We do all
these big festivals in China and that’s very
interesting to bands,” he says, noting that if
successful, the Central Park festival will be
an annual affair.
“Why shouldn’t there be a company from
China on a global stage for music entertainment? Why not create localized versions of
Modern Sky all over the world?”
Meanwhile Shen has big plans at home.
He notes, “for Chinese bands, the biggest
market is still China.” He’s considering open-
ing Modern Sky centers across the country
– part livehouses for their groups to perform
and part store peddling the label’s records
and its Modern Sky Lab fashion line. He foresees more collaborations with the art and
fashion world, with the upcoming Modern
Sky Festival in Shanghai a test case.
Scheduled for October 25-26, the indoor
festival is a partnership with ELLE’s Style
Awards. After years of investing in China’s
indie music market, he’s thrilled to see the
country catch up.
“While pop is still the biggest, young
people want to try different music now and
indie is becoming popular,” he says. “Just like
artists are different every decade, so are we.
In the future, there will be more cool things.
For Modern Sky, the only requirment is that
the music must be good.”

Top 100 DJs Festival
A global gathering
BY Andrew Chin
trEDcarefuLEE
Starting in 1997, DJ
Magazine’s Top 100 DJ
List has been an annual
barometer for dance
music DJs, with legends
Paul Oakenfold, Tiësto
and Armin van Buuren all
topping the list. Last year,
Hardwell took the spot
with over 750,000 people
participating in the
online vote. This year’s
results will be revealed
with three simultaneous
parties in Amsterdam,
London and Shanghai.
Here are some of the top
dogs performing here.
Since a brutal photo scandal stymied his rise to the top
of Hong Kong’s entertainment world, actor Edison Chen
has focused more on his CLOT lifestyle brand and hiphop career. The bad boy will team up with his Dog Eat
Dog co-star and occasional LMF member Sam Lee, as
well as popular rapper Chef for a rare collective DJ set.
Fatboy Slim
New World Punx
Markus Schulz and Ferry Corsten are two former Top 10 DJs that
teamed up last year to form a devastating duo devoted to oldschool trance. They slayed Madison Square Gardens at their debut show and have thrilled crowds, amping each other up during
their back-to-back sets.
Norman Cook’s had an eclectic career, topping the UK
charts with indie rockers The
Housemartins and again with
Beats International. As Fatboy
Slim, he brought big beat to the
mainstream with irresistible
hits ‘The Rockefeller Skank’
and ‘Praise You.’ Free to do his
own thing, he releases the odd
passion project like his collaboration with Talking Head’s
David Byrne on a concept album
devoted to the infamous former
First Lady of the Philippines
Imelda Marcos, while bringing
his manic flair to major festivals
like Ultra and Glastonbury.

Listen up!
Giorgio Moroder
Arguably the father of electronic
dance music, Moroder pioneered
synth-disco, producing huge hits
for Donna Summer and releasing landmark solo albums From
Here to Eternity and E=mc2
that proudly declared its use of
electronic keyboards. His soundtrack for Scarface is iconic and
the 74-year-old is enjoying his
current resurgence. He guested
on Daft Punk’s Random Access
Memories and is working on a
new album, while touring as “the
world’s oldest DJ.”
Steve Aoki
The electro-house favorite has slowly risen from the underground to
breaking into the Top 10 of last year’s list. Through relentless touring
and an energetic live show, where he’s known to throw cake at the
crowd, Aoki has become a major force in dance music. Equally comfortable collaborating with Lil Jon and Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo, Aoki
picked up a nomination for last year’s Wonderland. Expect his set to
incorporate his just released follow-up Neon Future.
The festival will also include sets
by the Bingo Players, Quentin
Mosimann, Matthew Komaa and Ji
Ke Jun Yi. Heads up – there will be
no ATMS on site and no re-entries
allowed, so stack up on cash before going in. We also have a pair

Songs in the key of life
Mono explores light and dark in new albums
BY Andrew Chin
Over 15 years, Japanese
instrumental group Mono has
crafted an original sound,
grandiose soundscapes equally
inspired by ear-bleeding shoegaze
and experimental classical. As
they embark on a seven city
Mainland tour that touches down
at MAO Livehouse on October 18,
they’re breaking out of their mold
with a pair of new releases, The
Last Dawn and Rays of Darkness.
48
Mitsuyo Miyazaki
“
The two albums ended up representing
the counterpoints in life,” guitarist and
group leader Takaakira ‘Taka’ Goto explains. “Light and darkness, hope and helplessness, love and loss, the emotions which
can’t be expressed, pain which you can’t put
into words, happiness which you can’t simply measure.”
Set for release in late October, Taka admits the group had no intention to record
two albums. Describing them as opposites,
the discs capture the emotional extremes he
went through writing the group’s follow-up
to their sixth album, 2012’s For My Parents.
“I was feeling a darkness that wasn’t
about sadness, but more about anger and
suffering. Like an endless disappointment or
an uncontrollable despair,” he says.
Billed as Mono’s blackest album, Rays of
Darkness is a foreboding collection of scorching riffs, ominous drones and doom rhythms.
Initially beguiled by what he had written,
Taka admits it took time for him to become
comfortable with the songs he describes represents his dark side.
“We gradually accepted the chaos
wrapped in this negativity and really wanted
to express that to the world as art,” he says.
Writing those songs took their toll,
however, with Taka admitting its darkness
seeped into his daily life. “My feelings were
very rebellious without thoughts,” he recalls.
“Almost as though I sold my soul to hell.”
To fight off the feeling, he began writing a new set of distinctly different songs
as an emotional outlet. He also changed his
lifestyle, writing these songs during the day
rather than his customary time late at night.
Collected on The Last Dawn, Taka describes the tracks as “medicine for myself
just to live through everyday life” and summarizes the album as “about escaping from
My feelings were very rebellious
without thoughts. Almost as though
I sold my soul to hell
darkness and seeking the light.”
Recorded simultaneously this May in
Pennsylvania, both discs capture Mono at
their most straightforward, an effort to
“leave the chaotic ones as chaotic as possible
and make the positive ones as positive as
possible.”
While guests like Envy’s Tetsu Fukagawa
and Calexico’s Jacob Valenzuela pop up, the
new albums largely ditch the orchestral accoutrements the group has been praised for
on albums like 2009’s majestic Hymn to the
Immortal Wind, as well as their 10th anniversary concerts across the world with the 25member Wordless Music Orchestra.
“We wanted to go back to the straightforward approach of expressing everything as a
four-piece group and expand the possibility
of guitar,” Taka says, recalling how he started
the group with drummer Yasunori Takada,
bassist Tamaki Kunishi and guitarist Hideki
“Yoda” Suematsu at a time when Toyko was
entranced by electronic music.
“The original idea was to create a massive sound like My Bloody Valentine with
10 Marshall amps; a beautiful yet extreme
sound that could almost shake the roof. We
want to create that wall-crashing sound like
we used to back in the day.”

Light Travellers
Clara Feder’s Poetic Look at Shanghai
By Zoey Zha
Q
uietly dotting the intersection of
Yongjia Lu and Yueyang Lu, Noeli
Gallery is hosting French artist Clara
Feder’s Light Travellers. The show is a photographic take of life in a megacity. It’s only appropriate for the show to debut in Shanghai,
as the pieces were born in the city.
“When I first arrived at Pudong Airport
and saw all these lights, shining and floating
from the rooftops, I was fascinated,” says
Feder. “It was almost like a world that was
partly from a fairy tale and partly from a science fiction scene.”
She began to “internalize all these lights”
when she started work on the photography
series in January 2013. To convey that feeling, she staged miniature figures with special
light effects projected onto them. But who
are these faceless little men?
“Consider them just human beings on
this very planet. They are nobody yet eve-
rybody,” she says. “I worked with gesso and
gel when molding these figures. I intentionally blurred them so you can still see their
expressions, but they vary considerably depending on the way you see them.”
There are photos of solo little men
standing alone, on the edge of an abyss or
leaning forward on the road. They feel like
monologues of life. The specialized filming
techniques enlarge the surrounding environment creating an effect of the figures being
swallowed up by oblivion. It also makes it
easier for viewers to project themselves onto
the work.
In Light Travellers, Feder attempts to
visualize the confrontation between man and
society, which she boils down to two layers.
“First, the city itself,” she explains. “We
are little and fragile when confronting the
vastness of this city that was built up by us.
Trying to make it and stay focused is a constant struggle.”
“The second layer is about the various
communications that take place in this advanced and digital world. Everybody is trying
to stay centered and be who they are. That’s
We are little and
fragile when
confronting the
vastness of this city
that was built up by us
what I want the audience to appreciate
through my work.”
Based in France, she travels back and
forth between Paris and Aix en Provence. She
notices the differences between European
cities and Shanghai, pointing out the nuances
in its lighting.
“Europe is like a museum,” she says. “It
stores all beautiful ancient things and preserves it. In Paris, the Eiffel Tower has been
there since 1889. Apart from that, the lights
are pretty much in the house. Shanghai is
entirely different from that.”
Besides photography, Feder dabbles in
writing and film. Not only has she already
published 21 books and articles, she studied
cinematography at New York University’s
prestigious film program. She credits legendary filmmaker Georges Méliès for creating
the special effects for film that fuelled the
show’s inspiration.
Stepping away from the lights, Light
Travellers’ poetically penetrates through the
darkness and discovers the natural brightness of the city.
“Those people working on the barrage
over Huangpu River are not from Shanghai,”
she notes. “They seem invisible to this city
like ghosts but work on-and-off with a certain rhythm. They don’t belong here but are
devoted to this place, which I find fascinating.”

The Cloud Gate
Lin Hwai-min on ‘Happy Marriage’ with his dancers
BY Zoey Zha
The world’s leading companies in
dance, theater and music will converge
in Shanghai for the 16th Shanghai
International Arts Festival, which runs
from October 16 to November 16. Back
for their fourth time is Taiwan’s first
professional dance group, Cloud Gate.
Known for their exquisite technique and
unique choreography, they’ve become
cultural ambassadors for their home,
performing at the Olympics while racking
up prestigious international awards.
S
tarted by Lin Hwai-min, Cloud Gate
emerged from the island’s small dance
community in 1973. The 67-year-old
pinpoints his interest in the art form to
watching a performance by famed contemporary dancer Jose Limon as a 14-year-old.
That same year, his first short story
was published in United Daily News. Later
works like Cicada propelled the teenager up
Taiwan’s literary world. Despite the acclaim,
Lin spent his earnings learning to dance.
“There are too many brilliant writers out
there,” he says. “What the body can articulate
doesn’t necessarily make sense in writing
and vice versa.”
Deeply influenced by Martha Graham,
the ‘Picasso of Dance,’ Lin studied at her
Center of Contemporary Dance while living
in America on a university scholarship to
study journalism.
When he returned to Taiwan, he founded
Cloud Gate Dance Company, based on one
simple belief, “What I want to do is dance for
my people,” Lin says. “I want to take what
our ancestors and history have granted and
integrate it into dance.”
Bearing that same ideal, the Cloud Gate 2
group formed in 1999, touring every corner
of Taiwan. When the disastrous 921 earthquake hit that year, the group went to the affected area for a special performance.
The last thing that concerns Lin is a
proper stage; Cloud Gate has performed everywhere from rice fields in the countryside
to a basketball court. “Dance has to be related to its surroundings,” he shrugs. “What
kind of artist can you be otherwise?”
Dancers are selected from disparate
backgrounds, from ballet to martial arts,
with Lin introducing tai chi and internal
50
I want to take what
our ancestors and
history have granted
and integrate it into
dance
school boxing to their curriculum. He believes both harbor the essence of Chinese art,
rooted to its genes.
“I’ve had foreign students before and
they can’t make a stand properly,” he says.
“They are hardworking, but you can just
tell something’s not right with the move or
pose.”
It’s a sentiment he shares with calligraphy, which inspired Cloud Gate’s Cursive series. “You see the the character ‘一’ isn’t written in a horizontal direction, but more like
the shape of the number eight,” he explains,
comparing strokes to a dancer’s movements.
“To me, it’s not the move that matters but the
energy they convey.”
The group will be performing the second
part of the trilogy Pine Smoke during the
festival. Interestingly, the piece utilizes the
work of avant-garde musician John Cage.
When asked why he didn’t pair the piece
with a traditional instrument, he smiles and
rhetorically asks, “Can you bear a 70-minute
guzheng performance?”
As it turns out, the music – which sounds
like a collection of random noises like blasts
of wind – not only miraculously synchronizes
with the dancers’ breathing, it renders the
piece with a sense of mystery and Zen.
The concept has been appreciated worldwide. In 2000, the group performed at the
opening of the Sydney Olympics, its show
unanimously voted as the best performance
by European dance magazines. Last year, Lin
became the first Asian choreographer to be
awarded a lifetime achievement award at
the American Dance Festival, coinciding with
Cloud Gate’s 40th anniversary.
Widely considered Asia’s most important choreographer, Lin gives all credit
to his ‘happy marriage’ with the dancers.
“We spend most of our time together,” he
explains. “There are people that come in to
learn, but drop out later, which is absolutely
fine. It’s like a marriage. You can’t force your
partner to sign the paper, can you?”
Gradually, Cloud Gate has become more
than a brand, but a local culture. Taiwan
proclaimed August 21 as Cloud Gate Day, and
tickets for their Mainland shows are gobbled
up quickly.
“They are much more demanding now,”
Lin admits of local audiences. “The stronger
their cravings, the higher our requirements.
It’s a great thing.”

Black Diamond
Tim Rushton brings Danish
Dance Theater to the world
BY Zoey Zha
When multi-award winner Tim Rushton took over as
Artistic Director of Danish Dance Theatre in 2001, he led
them to the center stage of the dance world. They’ll be
presenting one of their latest works, Black Diamond,
as part of the Shanghai International Arts Festival. The
Royal Ballet trained choreographer chatted with us
about the futuristic show, performing for Denmark’s
royalty and collaborating with Beijing Dance Theatre.
How did you develop Danish Dance
Theatre onto the global stage?
When I took over, Danish Dance Theatre was
the world’s best kept secret. I was lucky to
collect a talented group of dancers from all
over the world, but also an administrative
team who believed in the company.
Coming from a small country has both good
and bad sides. I think this made me able to
work with continuity. It also seemed like the
performances I created garnered international interest. All in all, this made it possible
for the company to tour all over the world.
Many ballet dancers are becoming more
involved in contemporary pieces now, is
this becoming a trend?
Yes, it might be more appealing for young
people because of the body expression and
because the themes are more up to date.
With that said, I do think that proper technical ability is a strength and something that is
needed more and more within the arts both
within ballet and contemporary dance.
I don’t think it is particularly a trend that
more classical dancers are moving towards
modern dance, I believe that movement
has always been there. I think it is more a
personal desire to go and discover new art
forms.
Black Diamond is a highly physical demanding piece. What are your standards
for dancers?
The physical attributes of the dancers are
very important and they have to be, but I
think what is more interesting as a choreographer is to be able to express a certain situation or a certain feeling. The dancers also
need to have that sort of scenic will, a desire
to be seen and to communicate through their
physical body and to translate their visibility
to a communicative way of being.
The visual impact of Black Diamond is
considerably strong.
I worked very closely with the costume designer and we always work on the concepts
together. This creative process often takes
about a year, and I worked on the costume
design for Black Diamond for many years.
Design wise, we were trying to convey a futuristic feel to our costumes.
The show’s poster is very striking. Will
When I took over, the
Danish Dance Theatre
was the world’s best
kept secret
dancers perform naked in certain scenes?
There will be no nudity in the piece and the
woman on the poster is more a symbol of a
hopeful and sensitive humanity in a cynical
world.
Were you worried the intimacy in the choreography might upset the audience?
I have never had any complaints from our
audience or critics, and I have never experienced anybody feeling uncomfortable about
my work being too explicit – not even the
Danish Royal family, His Highness Prince
Joachim and Her Highness Princess Marie.
They saw the premiere in Copenhagen, and
found nothing offensive in any way. The performance might seem sensual, but hopefully
most of our audience sees Black Diamond, as
an artistic expression.
Do you have plans to tour or work with
any Asian dance company?
Danish Dance Theatre has already worked a
couple times with Beijing Dance Theatre and
the talented Chinese choreographer Wang
Yuanyuan. In 2012 we collaborated on a
performance called Monolith for the Danish
Royal Theatre, which we toured in China the
same year. It became a huge success and I
am sure it could be exciting to work together
with an Asian dance company in the future.

The New Chinese Traveler
Tracking the Middle Kingdom’s Tourism Revolution
By Aelred Doyle
T
he Chinese are coming. Actually,
as anyone in any tourist destination will tell you, they’re already
here to stay. As Gary Bowerman puts it in
The New Chinese Traveler, “the tourism
industry [is] now officially addicted to a
transformative new stimulant. It’s called
China, and the world is transfixed… In
whatever form and scope to which it may
evolve, the Chinese Travel Revolution is
only just beginning.”
The massive growth in Chinese tourist numbers in the last decade and its
knock-on effects is a fascinating new
chapter in the story of China’s rise. We’re
talking about around 100 million outbound tourists projected for 2014. The
number in 2000 was about 10 million,
and as recently as 2009 still under 50
million. It’s doubled in five years, and we
ain’t seen nothing yet: some suggest 200
million by 2020.
And Chinese people are not just
traveling in previously unseen numbers
with the most outbound tourists in the
world since 2012, they are also spending like crazy – USD102 billion. Again
number one, in both total and per person
average. This has not gone unnoticed:
“The Chinese are increasingly referred to
as ‘Walking Wallets,’ while Londoners joked
about the ‘Peking Pound’ as Chinese visitors
embarked on a buying spree during the 2012
Olympics.”
So what does this mean? Most of us have
seen more evidence of attention to Chinese
tourists in our home countries, whether celebrations of Chinese New Year in cities that
previously did not have them or Mandarin
signage in big department stores.
This is just the tip of the iceberg as countries compete for the Peking Pound. With
a new wave of sophisticated, independent
travelers looking for more experiential trips
that are WeChat compatible, everyone is going to have to up their game.
These Chinese visitors are in no way
wide-eyed naifs: “Armed with a diverse
library of mobile-based travel information
tailored for each trip, Chinese vacationers
are among the best-informed tourists in the
world.” Mobile is everything, and competition is fierce to provide information and
booking services.
Chinese tourists want plenty of shopping. They see free Wi-Fi as a necessity, by
far the most common request in a survey of
global hoteliers. They want to share their
holiday in real time on social media; the pho-
52
Chinese people are
not just traveling in
previously unseen
numbers, but they are

USD102 billion
to rather than the experience often seems to
be the point.
They also want kettles in their rooms
(for instant noodles), and they want Chineselanguage materials, such as hotel information and website, travel guides, even TV
channels. In-house Mandarin speakers are
highly prized. It’s going to be a good few
years for Confucius Institutes, or more likely
for local language schools all over the nonChinese world, especially since tourists are
looking further afield.
Until recently the majority of ‘international’ trips were to Hong Kong and Macau,
but that has changed. Asia is still the most
popular destination, but more and more
people are heading to Western countries, es-
pecially France and the UK. Interestingly,
the US is not seen as particularly attractive relative to other countries. There’s
a sense that it is falling behind in terms
of economy and infrastructure, and that
other countries offer more.
Intriguingly, the knock-on effect is
leading to changes in the domestic tourism experience too. “China itself has long
suffered from sterile, ineffective tourism
marketing. It has relied too heavily on its
one-dimensional mass tourism sites… little effort has been expended to diversify
and drive repeat visits to explore China
beyond its marquee attractions.”
Chinese people are fully aware of the
negative aspects of tourism in China –
crowds due to limited vacation days, the
tendency to change areas of natural beauty into commercial, ersatz environments
– and demand better. However, entrepreneurs in tandem with ambitious local
leaders are starting to turn this around,
part of another sea change: “China is now
an active creator, investor – and increasingly an acquirer – of modern tourism,
not just a consumer of facilities and
amenities created beyond its borders.”
Bowerman is an experienced China
and Asia journalist, and after Matthew
Crabbe’s Myth-Busting China’s Numbers,
this is the latest in the Palgrave Pocket
Consultants Series. It’s another well-written
primer for business people and laymen interested in the topic. Bowerman mixes the stats
with personal anecdotes and interviews with
experts, as well as including the approach
and opinions of a sample of experienced
Chinese travelers.
We found the general overview of the
Chinese tourism landscape most appealing;
for others, the sections where Bowerman
drills down into specific destinations like
Hong Kong and Macau will be invaluable
guides. Either way, this is an excellent look at
a phenomenon that is going to affect us all.

Life’s a cabaret!
East West Theater celebrates Weimar Berlin
By James Hockaway
Eric J Heise
A
fter tackling a Tennessee Williams
classic last month, East West Theatre
returns to musicals with their
adaptation of the two-time Tony Award
winner Cabaret. Inspired by Christopher
Isherwood’s novel Goodbye to Berlin, the
show is a perfect depiction of the writer’s
experiences in decadent and hedonistic
early-1930s Berlin. The songs, full of raunchy
lyrics with randy choreography, bring the
debauchery to life.
The story centers on the relationship
between American writer Cliff Bradshaw and
Sally Bowles, a 19-year-old English cabaret
performer at the Seedy Kit Kat Club. In the
background, the Nazi Party is gaining momentum, foretelling a clash of ideals in the
future between Hitler’s Germany and the liberal paradise that was the Weimar Republic.
Cabaret can be played out in different
ways. Some productions emphasize the
brutality of the Nazis, whereas others focus
on the good times of the city’s party scene.
Director Dave Earl (Lend Me a Tenor) gives
his reason for emphasizing the good times:
“The play is not about the Nazis. It’s about
Berlin.”
The play is not about
the Nazis. It’s about
Berlin
During Isherwood’s time in the city, the
Nazis were a notable but still small microcosm of life in the Weimar Republic. 1931
Berlin was very much a sexually liberated,
tolerant place, where people drank and partied until they forgot about the terrible state
the country was actually in following World
War I.
Of course, the show will include references to the Nazis, how could they not?
The musical number, ‘If You Could See Her
Through My Eyes’ centers around the MC’s
relationship with a Jewish girl, portrayed
on stage as a gorilla to satirize the racist attitude of the National Socialists.
A bit of goosestepping is involved in the
camp song and dance ‘Tomorrow Belongs to
Me.’ However, the overall message is that the
good times will keep on rolling and everything’s going to be okay, best summed up in
the lyrics of ‘Wilkomen.’
“Leave your troubles outside! So life is
disappointing? Forget it! We have no troubles here! Here, life is beautiful.”

Rosemary’s Baby
Urban Aphrodite tackles horror
By Emily Ferris
In Roman Polanski’s breakthrough, Rosemary’s Baby, a pregnant
wife fears her husband may have sold their unborn child to the devil.
The chilling film classic gets adapted for the stage by director David
Johansson ( Almost Maine, The Learned Ladies). Amanda Daniels gabs
about stepping into Mia Farrow’s shoes and the doomed titular character.
On her role…
I love the movie and I like anything a little
deep and dark. Rosemary and Guy aren’t new
to New York, but have just moved in together.
Their story has its own depth: someone offers Guy his dream and he almost becomes
brainwashed, which affects Rosemary. I also
like that you never know if Rosemary is
going crazy or if the events are really happening until the very end. I really wanted to
do this part and found out I had it the day
before I set out to climb Kilimanjaro.
On the play’s challenges…
We can’t switch scenes seamlessly like a
camera can or do that many set changes, so
we’ve had to do some melding. The director
has used the movie, novel and screenplay
to write it. There’s also Canadian, British,
French and Swedish cast members speaking
in a New York accent. There will be a workshop!
On her hopes for the show…
Even if you know what’s going to happen,
I hope you feel the suspense with us, that
you think that’s really creepy and get chills. I
hope we can keep the film’s authenticity. Mia
Farrow is brilliant in the way she portrays
being in pain and does a great job at showing
that downward spiral. I hope we can do the
same, but not the same.

COVER STORY
The resounding success
of the Beijing Olympics
heralded the dawn of
a new age for sports
in China. Leagues and
organizations rushed
in from around the
globe, eager to tap into
a potential gold mine of
new fans, sponsors and
investors. Blazing the
trail was the National
Basketball Association
(NBA). When the
Sacramento Kings tip
off against the Brooklyn
Nets at the MercedesBenz Arena on October
12, it will be the league’s
17th pre-season game in
the country since Yao
Ming’s Houston Rockets
took on the Kings a

COVER STORY
“
It’s very important that our fans get an
absolutely authentic NBA experience at
the game,” says NBA China CEO David
Shoemaker. “In 2004, the facilities were
nowhere near that level. We had to ship so
much of the infrastructure into China from the
floor to the benches.”
Much has changed in a decade. Now
the NBA plays in buildings of their creation,
partnering with AEG to build state-of-theart arenas across the country, including
the MasterCard Center in Beijing and the
Guangzhou International Sports Center, on a
par with the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
It’s part of a building boom that includes
opening the first NBA Center in Tianjin next
year – a four floor behemoth that includes an
NBA-style basketball court, a fitness center, an
NBA themed restaurant where fans can watch
games, an NBA store and a basketball-themed
play zone for kids.
Last summer, the Wukesong Baketball
Park opened in Beijing, complete with 11 fullsize courts and one half-court built to international standards. Both an effort for the league
to tap into the commercial possibilities of a
rabid fanbase, while contributing to the sport’s
grassroots development.
Such is the power of the NBA. The numbers behind their popularity in China is staggering: more than 70 million followers on
their Sina and Tencent microblogs; 1.3 billion
page views of NBA.com/china; 4.1 billion
video stream views of games and highlights;
and the most popular online sports game, with
NBA2K Online counting over 20 million registered users.
Their games broadcast live four times a
week on CCTV average nearly six million viewers. They’ve created an eight-day Chinese New
Year celebration that consists of 23-live games
with participating teams paying tribute to the
league’s Chinese fans. Last year, over 116 million viewers tuned in.
No wonder NBA Commissioner Adam
Silver is publicly considering moving the occasional game to a 10am US start-time in order
to tap into the Chinese primetime market.
There’s even more room to grow, with over
300 million Mainlanders playing the sport, the
equivalent of America’s total population.
“It would be nice to have a Chinese player
in the NBA, but I don’t think it’s critically
important,” says Silver. “There’s certainly no
lack of support for our non-Chinese players
in the league when they travel here in the offseason.”
Indeed, NBA stars are increasingly household names and a China circuit has developed
for players visiting to boost their brand and
business interests, while participating in occasionally surreal hijinks; a week after dramatically announcing his return to his hometown
Cleveland Cavaliers, four-time MVP LeBron
James was in Beijing starting his annual China
tour… and duetting with renowned pianist
Lang Lang. Meanwhile, two-time NBA champion Ray Allen tweeted his growing disbelief
at the number of birthday cakes he received
while appearing on Chinese TV dressed as an
archer.
Nike debuted the world’s first full-size
LED basketball court, ‘The House of Mamba,’
in Shanghai this summer. The technological
marvel has built-in artificial intelligence onto
the floor, equipped with motion sensors tracking player’s movement, serving as a guide for
players to practice exercises based on Kobe
Bryant’s methods. When he saw it, the typically loquacious Bryant was speechless, admitting, “I didn’t know something like this was
even possible.”
Chinese shoe company Li Ning poached
three-time NBA champion Dwyane Wade from
Nike’s Brand Jordan, signing him to a groundbreaking 10-year deal, reportedly worth
USD10 million a year. They’re betting his
signature Way of Wade shoeline will catapult
them onto the global market. Meanwhile, perennial All-Stars Carmelo Anthony and Dwight
Howard popped up on the big screen, making
cameos in Sherwood Hu’s 2013 film Amazing,
essentially Tron remixed with basketball.
When Kobe
Bryant saw the
first full-size LED
basketball court
in Shanghai he
was speechless,
admitting “I didn’t
know something
like this was even
possible.”
“
Our game’s never been more popular, but
some amount of credit goes to basketball
having been played here for 100 years,”
NBA China CEO Shoemaker says. “There’s
a long love affair that Chinese fans have had
with basketball.”
Four years after the sport’s creation, YMCA
missionaries brought the game to Tianjin in
1895. By 1935, it was declared a national pasttime, with China fielding a competing team in
the following year’s Olympics.
With each generation, the game became
more embedded in the country’s cultural
fabric. In the 1920s, it was popular in urban
centers like Shanghai, its courts a haven for
revolutionary activity. During the Long March,
Communist officials and soldiers played the
game to boost solidarity and spirits. While
sports like baseball were denounced as “bourgeois indulgence,” basketball thrived under

Mao’s rules of friendship first, competition
second, with players apologizing after fouls.
The People’s Liberation Army (PLA)
founded the Bayi Rockets in the early 1950s,
who became a powerhouse, racking up 34 national titles and seven of the first eight Chinese
Basketball Association (CBA) championships.
While the game grew on the backs of early
titans Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell in
America, Chinese fans were cheering on their
own star in 7’4” Mu Tiezhu, who spurred
China to regional dominance. Its national team
has won 15 of 20 FIBA Asian Championships,
since its inception in 1975.
The US and Chinese basketball worlds
collided when Deng Xiaoping invited the
then-NBA champions Washington Bullets to
the country in 1979, months after the normalization of relationships between China and
America. The first trip by a professional sports
team to the Mainland was a groundbreaking
success, with hundreds of millions watching
on TV as the Bullets beat the Bayi Rockets in
Beijing and the Shanghai Sharks on their home
court, a team featuring Yao Ming’s father Yao
Zhiyuan.
In 1985, the NBA returned the favor by
inviting the Chinese national team to America
for a series of exhibition games. And the
league’s relationship with the Mainland was
cemented in 1987 when then commissioner
David Stern showed up to CCTV with a bag of
video cassettes, despite the station’s executives not knowing who he was.
“He showed a lot of foresight and deserves
a lot of credit for the growth of the game in
China,” Shoemaker says. “He convinced CCTV
executives that NBA was worth showing to
hundreds of millions of fans across China. It
was such an important starting point and has
proven to be true.”
The 1987 NBA All-Star game was the first
to be aired. In 1994, they started showing
all of the NBA Finals games live. A young Yao
Ming would tune in to watch his idol Hakeem
Olajuwon lead the Houston Rockets to their
first NBA championship unaware that, in less
than a decade, he would be his successor.
W
hile CBA standouts Wang
Zhizhi and Mengke Bateer
were the first to enter the
league, the NBA’s popularity
exploded when Yao was drafted Number One
overall in the 2002 Draft. The 21-year-old had
just led Shanghai to their first (and to date

I used to say that
our NBA players
were like rock
stars in China, but
I realized that was
understating it
how huge a deal that was,” recalls Kings rookie
Nik Stauskas. “He was popular among Chinese
people in the Toronto area and sparked a
tremendous amount of interest in them for
basketball.”
While an entire nation cheered on their
first transcendent basketball star, they were
also falling in love with his biggest foils: the
Los Angeles Lakers championship duo of
Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant.
In 2006, Shaq became the first NBA player
to sign a shoe deal with a Chinese company,
Li Ning. Others have followed. As well as the
Dwyane Wade-Li Ning deal, All-Stars Rajon
Rondo and Kevin Garnett signed to Anta, while
Peak’s roster includes All-Stars Tony Parker
and Kevin Love.
Meanwhile, Kobe is a basketball deity in
the Mainland; his trips require riot police to
fend off frenzied crowds. Bryant pays back the
adulation by frequently going off-script. This
summer, he challenged a university student
to a game of one-in-one in Shanghai, his first
public basketball action after sitting out last
year with a torn Achilles tendon.
“I used to say that our NBA players were
like rock stars in China, but I realized that was
understating it,” says Shoemaker, recalling the

ronically, while the game enjoys new
heights in popularity, China’s celebrated
basketball program is suffering as it
moves away from a Soviet-style system
of molding potential prodigies at a young age.
The national team has become more known
for fighting – with fisticuffs versus Georgetown
University, Australia, Brazil and Serbia – and
losing, including to an Italy team reduced to
three players due to hilariously biased Chinese
referees, and a humiliating defeat to India this
year.
Increasingly, the NBA has gotten involved
in developing grassroots basketball programs
with Silver discussing with PRC Vice Premier
Madame Liu Yandong on “our shared vision to
promote youth basketball throughout China”
during a Chicago Bulls game last November.
There was even talk of a Chinese version
of the NBA a few years ago, but this has dissipated, with the league content with collaborations. In 2011, the NBA opened up the world’s
first year-round NBA training center with the
CBA’s Dongguan Leopards. Reserved for elite
youth players, the CBA Dongguan Basketball
School has trained over 2,000 players and
coaches, capturing the CBA’s U17 National
Tournament Championship this March.
Silver touts the vast possibilities provided
by digital platforms. “Someone asked ‘Is Chris
Paul going to come here to teach dribbling?’
I said ‘yes, through this device,’” he laughs,
pointing to his phone.
“For any young boy or girl in China, or
increasingly anywhere, who wants to learn the
fundamentals of basketball, there should be an
app presented by the NBA and its players to
show them that.”
More traditional is the recently launched
NBA Yao School, a passion project for the
star, who since retirement has campaigned to
eliminate shark fin soup, opened a California
winery, joined the Chinese People’s Political
Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and enrolled
at Jiaotong University, where photos confirm
that the big man, too, is defeated by math.
The inclusive afterschool program combines basketball and life lessons for kids aged
six to 16. Introduced this spring, it will expand
to two locations this fall in Beijing with plans
to take it nationwide within years. Already,
Rajon Rondo has stopped by to lead workshops, and the NBA plans to make it a stop for
visiting players.
“We feel it’s a bit of a differentiator for us,”
Shoemaker says. “Kids want to learn from the
NBA according to our curriculum. It’s more
exciting for them to actually learn how to play
the game from the best of the best.”
Stauskas knows first-hand what an increased NBA presence can mean. When the
Toronto Raptors entered the league in 1995,
it sparked an interest in the game that has
resulted in a current crop of young Canadian
talent, including the last two NBA number
one draft picks Anthony Bennett and Andrew
Wiggins. Grassroots programs allowed
Stauskas to share the court with NBA star
Vince Carter as an eight-year old.
“Growing up, they didn’t have basketball
on TV in Canada except for the Raptors,” he
says. “As a young kid, it got me interested in
the game and gave me something to look up to.
I got an idea of what an NBA player looked like
and it gave me something to work towards.”
While Shoemaker takes great measures to
emphasize the NBA Yao School isn’t designed
to produce the next great Chinese player, Silver
quips that “it would also be okay.”
“Yao brought the NBA to a new level here,”
he says. “I would love to see a pipeline of new
Chinese players coming into the league.”

Ambassador Yao
Doubling down on China’s basketball future
BY Andrew Chin and Zoey Zha
What more can be said about
Yao Ming? The greatest
basketball player China has
ever produced has been an
ambassador for the nation for
over a decade, he keeps giving
back with the opening of the
NBA Yao School. We caught
up with him to discuss the
program’s goals, the growth of
the game and its future in the
country.
Congratulations on the opening of the NBA
Yao School. How would you describe the
program?
We are looking for basketball lovers ranging from elementary school to high school,
boys and girls alike from different training
backgrounds. The academy builds tailored
after-school basketball training and fitness
plans based on the needs of different students.
The goal is to train students in an entertaining
atmosphere, while paying attention to their
skills in coordination, leadership and communication. Currently, we have two training spots
in Beijing, but are expecting to open more in
other cities in the future.
You’ve been very clear that this program
isn’t designed to produce the next great
Chinese NBA player. However, during the
Nanjing Youth Olympics, you expressed
concern for the next generation of Chinese
basketball players. What are some things
that need to be improved for the Mainland
to produce another NBA star?
Our school is to help you find the fun in basketball and build yourself through exercising.
With more basketball lovers and a better
chance for them to get trained professionally,
it’s far more likely for us to spot excellent players.
How do you think youth basketball development has changed compared to your
teenage days?
Now, the sport has turned into an international event. Teenagers have more chances and

Chinese fans now
are not only quite
knowledgeable
about the NBA and
its top stars, but
about every team,
which is quiet
surprising to me
opportunities to get involved in high-quality
basketball events, for instance, taking part in
professional training offered by schools like
ours. It’s a positive phenomenon that more
and more teenagers are fond of this sport in
China.
Throughout your NBA career, you were
praised in North America for your class and
credited in China for making the NBA so
popular…
I am honored to play a role in the communication between China and America. What I want
to say though is basketball is a perfect group
sport, which benefits teens in many ways. As a
team sport, there’s a high demand on trust and
support from each team member. Not only will
you improve your own ability, you also have
to get along with others. This is exactly what’s
great about this sport and why more and more
people are drawn to it.
 
The first time you came back to Shanghai
after entering the NBA, were you surprised
by how popular and the NBA had become?
I was aware that the NBA has been extremely
popular in China. Chinese fans now are not
only quite knowledgeable about the NBA and
its top stars, but about every team, which is
quiet surprising to me.
How would you compare the NBA’s presence in China now compared to when you
were younger?
It has become easier and more beneficial with
more communication channels now. Fans can
watch games on TV and online. They can also
interact with star players on Weibo. We’ve
invited Rajon Rondo, the legendary shooter
Glen Rice and several NBA coaches to meet
our students and give lessons. Of course, we
are honored to have Adam Silver visit. It was a
very educational experience for both students
and their parents.
The NBA has started to hold annual preseason games in Shanghai and Beijing. What
impact do you think this has?
I was honored to participate in the first NBA
preseason game in China. It’s a great opportunity for Chinese fans to enjoy an authentic
NBA game and, more importantly, get a better
and closer understanding of the NBA and their
favorite players.

2014 CBA Preview
The Pandas Friend in the Starbury Era
BY Andrew Chin
THE ROOKIE
While the NBA
expands its Mainland
empire, the Chinese
Basketball Association
(CBA) continues to
firm up its footing.
With the season tipping off
on November 8, the baller
formerly known as Metta
World Peace debuts in Sichuan
as The Pandas Friend, next
year’s potential NBA number one
draft pick bucks the American college
system for Guangdong and ex-NBA
All-Star-turned-pariah Stephon
Marbury continues his remarkable
second act in Beijing, a defending
champion that inspires statues and
autobiographical musicals.
THE BASICS
The CBA started in 1994 and will this year
expand from 18 to 20 teams and a 38-game
season. Lately, it’s been dominated by the
Guangdong Southern Tigers, who have
won eight titles in the last 11 years.
However, the Marbury-led Ducks
have upset that balance, surprisingly winning two titles in the last
three years, bouncing Guangdong
from the playoffs both times.
THE RULE CHANGE
This season will be especially different as the
CBA enforces a new rule limiting teams to one
foreign player on the court during the fourth
quarter. The measures are designed to reverse
the recent trend of foreigners dominating the
end of games, while fostering domestic player
development.
IS THIS NECESSARY?
The national team has become more known
for fighting (with fisticuffs versus Georgetown
University, Australia, Brazil and Serbia) than
their game. So perhaps the rule change is
for the best, considering this year’s historic
loss to India, and somehow losing to an
Italy team reduced to three players on the
court due to hilariously biased Chinese
referees.
No offense to The Pandas Friend, but the CBA’s
most intriguing newcomer is 18-year-old point
guard Emmanuel Mudiay. Tabbed to be a lottery
pick in next year’s NBA draft, he’s drawn comparisons to current stars Russell Westbrook
and Kyrie Irving. A refugee of war-torn Congo,
he withdrew from SMU and its Hall of Fame
coach Larry Brown to sign a USD1.2 million
contract with Guangdong, explaining “I’m tired
of watching my mom struggle.”
How he does in the CBA and next year’s
draft may open up a Pandora’s box with China
becoming an alternative to the American college NCAA system, where players are prohibited from being paid. It’s especially pertinent, as
the NBA has voiced a preference for extending
the gap between high school graduation and
entering the league to two years.

O
THE PANDAS FRIEND
Former NBA All-Stars wrapping up their careers in China have become common (hello
Tracy McGrady). This year’s big name is Ron
Artest, aka Metta World Peace aka The Pandas
Friend. The burly forward is long past his menacing younger days (when he broke Michael
Jordan’s ribs in a pick-up game and was the
catalyst in the infamous Malice in the Palace
brawl with fans). Since winning an NBA title
with the LA Lakers, his eccentric personality
and habit of switching names has made him a
fan favorite.
wner Yao Ming has been grousing recently about national player development,
boldly becoming the first team to waive
their right to a third Asian-born import player
last year, and this summer declaring he will only
hire Mainland coaches from now on.
The club is focusing on the basics and
a youth development program, letting go of
national team point guard, club institution and
former Yao teammate/bestie Liu Wei, who will
finish his career in Xinjiang. They’ve added
former Boston Celtic Delonte West, but expect
this year to be bumpy (although we admit we
were wrong last year about the team missing the
playoffs, so who knows?)

Golf’s golden boy Rory McIlroy eyes Shanghai victory
by Andrew chin
In winning the 2014 British Open
Championship, Rory McIlroy
became the first European to win
three different majors, and joined
Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods as
one of three golfers to win three
majors by the age of 25. A few
weeks later, he won his fourth at
the PGA Championship for backto-back majors. Oh, and he’s back
to world number one. Yup, he’s
the man. And the man is back in
Shanghai to tee off at the BMW
Masters, ready to reclaim the title
he won in 2011…
60
This time last year you were struggling
with your game and swing. How did you get
back on track?
My swing has been pretty much the same all
my professional life, but it sometimes goes
through slight changes. My body is changing
shape as a result of my growth and fitness
needs, so I’ve adapted my swing accordingly.
Belief in both my game and ability gets me
through any doubts. My recent wins had a lot
to do with practicing hard, remaining patient
throughout a tournament and making shots
when they mattered.
You finished in the top two in Shanghai in
2011 and 2012 but, finished 10 off pace
last year. What went wrong?
I wouldn’t say anything went wrong. In fact, I
was beginning to turn a corner and becoming
more comfortable with my game as a whole.
Just turning what were necessary tweaks into
victories took a little longer than I’d planned.
Coming off the back of some very important
wins, I hope that I’ll be a real contender at the
Shanghai Masters. This is an important tournament for me and one I’d really like to claim
again.
Do you think Asia should have an official
fifth major every year?
Good question. I haven’t given much thought
to that but I think Asia, and the spectacular
courses on offer, is perfectly placed to host
some of the world’s biggest events.
Your recent come-from-behind PGA
Championship has been lauded as a classic.
How do you keep your cool?
All the hours of practice and tournament
play – the wins and the losses – prepare me
for such high pressure times. It’s really what
it’s all about: the back nine on a Sunday of a
major. We’re all a bit on edge with adrenaline
pumping, but the thrill of the hunt is why all of
us play golf.

golf is concerned, last round nerves are really

Tiger joined you on The Tonight Show and
many suggest you’re his heir as golf’s next
mainstream star.
I have a very long way to go to rightfully be
called Tiger’s heir. There are many similarities
when we compare what we’ve achieved by 25,
but golf careers are long. I want mine to be
long too, and full of great and exciting wins. It
really will take some dedication to come close
to Tiger’s enormous trophy count.
What’s your relationship with him?
I have been very lucky to have Tiger’s friendship and experience to call on. Whether it’s
media, clubs or our foundations, Tiger’s always been really helpful and given great direction since I’ve been on tour.
You’re winning everything these days on
the golf course. Is that translating off the
green as well?
You’re talking about my fitness, right? But seriously, my life off the course has changed, too.
There are a lot more interviews, appearances
and general media stuff. It’s all very positive,
but winning does increase expectations on and

round. Any shit talking between you guys?
There wasn’t much talking about our games
during the round. We were all just trying to get
finished before complete darkness set in.
What’s it like, joining Jack Nicklaus and
Tiger Woods as the only golfers to win
three majors by 25?
I’ll be perfectly honest and say it’s a great feeling to have joined Jack and Tiger. I do have
targets to aim for. It keeps me focused and
hungry for the next win, but I don’t spend my
days overthinking it. I can’t start thinking too
much about a sixth major when I have my fifth
to win.
What was more nerve wracking, the last
round of the PGA Championship or your
first appearance on The Tonight Show?
Those are completely different kind of nerves.
The Tonight Show was great fun. There are so
many watching that it is a little unsettling for a
moment or two, but once we started to banter,
any nerves were quickly forgotten. As far as
year?
Really well. All this tournament play, coping
with the pressures of a back nine in a Major
and getting to know the games of those I’ll be
playing against is all great preparation. I hope
I can carry this knowledge and experience forward to Gleneagles.
Will you double check your tee times this time?
We’re playing in a time zone I’m completely
familiar with so I shouldn’t need an escort to
the course this time.
Are you looking forward to competing in
the 2016 Olympics?
Golf’s inclusion in the Olympics is so exciting
and I’ll see it as an honor to play for Ireland.
As golfers, we don’t get to represent our individual countries that often. The thought of
competing and possibly picking up a gold will
really motivate and inspire me in Brazil.
Finally, who would win in a fourball between you, Tiger, Gary Player and Jack
Nicklaus in their pomp?
That’s a great question, and something I think
about from time to time. Of course, there is
only a hypothetical answer. While Tiger and
I play the same courses with the same equipment, Gary and Jack’s environment and club
technology were very different. But I’ll get off
the fence. On a level playing field, I’d fancy my
chances at the moment to take the money.

Your favorite team is Manchester United.
How do you feel about their chances this

Man U struggled a bit last year, but their
overall record and trophy count is just
amazing. It’s way too early in the season for
accurate predictions, yet I will say that I have
great confidence in team. Louis van Gaal has
excellent skills and available talent to build a
winning side.
Back to golf. Are you look forward to rinsing the US in the Ryder Cup?
Ha! Rinsing? There’ll be no thoughts of a rinsing, I can assure you. The US Ryder Cup team
will be a solid unit throughout. To underestimate the US team’s abilities and strengths
would be a mistake. Winning one point at a

and capture a Grand Slam
last month in New York,
Marin Čilić is undoubtedly
the man of the hour. On his
way to celebrating the feat
in his hometown, he chatted
with us about beating
Federer, his legendary coach
Goran Ivanišević and
continuing his winning
ways at the Shanghai

October 4.
Congratulations on
winning your first
Grand Slam. Has life
changed?
Things have changed
a lot for sure. I’m back
in Croatia and people
stop me on the street to
ask for photos. They’re
really happy for me. I’m
very glad I won this title
for myself, my team and
for Croatia. It’s one of the
biggest sports achievements here, and it’s definitely brought happiness to Croatian’s lives.
How did it feel beating Roger Federer in the
semi-finals?
It was extremely special to play the biggest
and best match of my career to enter the
final. That was just a perfect day.

The US Open is always one of the
most interesting tournaments. The

in 2009, one of the big upset wins early in
your career. Are you ready to be the one
with the target on your back?
Yes, the tables have turned now. Players are
going to be really motivated to play against
me. They’ll play really high risk tennis because
they have nothing to lose. I’ve been that guy
in the past and it gives me a lot of confidence
knowing guys are going to need to play their

The Shanghai Masters has been voted the
best by players. How do you feel about it?
For me, it’s actually the best tournament of the
year. It’s really well organized and they take
care of the players. The food is great and the
crowd is amazing. It’s absolutely a pleasure to
come back to Shanghai.
Who was your biggest influence on becoming a tennis player?
My parents, as they signed me up to start tennis. They wanted to me do sports like my older
brothers.
Was it difficult to find facilities due to the
war?
I didn’t have any problems growing up after
wartime in Croatia because it wasn’t too bad
around my hometown. But I come from a really small place, so it wasn’t easy to always find
the right coaches and enough players to play
with. But my neighbor and best friend Ivan
Dodig is also on the tour. It’s a miracle that two
people from Međugorje are in the Top 100 in
the world.
Who was your favorite tennis player growing up?
That’s simple: Goran Ivanišević. He was a national hero for most kids in Croatia growing up.

He’s really enthusiastic and has a great view

which has become one of my weapons. He also
changed my approach to the game. Now I’m a
little more aggressive on the court and more
stubborn with the game style I need to play.
That has given me the most success.
As a player, he seemed to battle himself
on the court. What advice does he give you
about keeping calm?
Most people know Goran from the tennis court
where he was very emotional because he
wanted to win. Off the court, he’s very calm. As
a coach, he has the perfect combination of being very relaxed but serious at the right time.
Any funny stories about him?

Overall, I’ve played pretty well in China. I had
some losses the first couple years in Shanghai
as I didn’t adjust well to the surface, especially
compared to how different it is to Beijing, but
last time I played really well. I’m feeling much
more confident this year and hope to do better
than 2012, when I reached the quarter finals.

been greater. Did you take part?
Everybody was swept away by Goran’s victory.
It was one of the most watched sports matches
in the history of Croatia, and there was an
absolutely amazing reception when he came
home. Unfortunately, I was at a tennis camp
then, but I can tell you that all of Croatia was
amazingly happy about his victory.

What’s going to happen is still a surprise.
There’s no sea around so I won’t be doing that,

Where speed meets
stamina
Asian Le Mans comes to Shanghai
BY Erik Crouch
W
ay back in 1923, European
racecar drivers decided to
change the idea behind their
sport. They abandoned the
conventional race to the finish and embraced a
new model: endurance.
Drivers found themselves strapped behind
the wheel for a grueling 24 hours, and whoever traveled the furthest was crowned the
winner. The race began on the public roads of
the French town of Le Mans, and was dubbed
24 Heures du Mans.
Now, more than 90 years later, the Le
Mans tradition is hitting Shanghai.
Last year marked the first full Asian
Le Mans series, which spanned four races
over Inje (South Korea), Fuji (Japan), Zhuhai
(China), and Sepang (Malaysia). Competitors
came from around the world – medals were
awarded to teams representing Hong Kong,
France, Italy, Malaysia and Japan – and every
driving group was required by regulation to
have at least one driver of an Asian nationality.
Now, one year later, Le Mans is back, and
the four locations from the 2013 series will
be joined by our own city and the Shanghai
International Circuit. Drivers have already
completed their races in Japan and South
Korea, and will be swinging into the ‘Hai the
middle of this month.
The Asia Le Mans isn’t quite the epic 24hour race that’s held in France; the duration
is trimmed to three hours, (which is still quite
grueling for the drivers, but is considerably easier to enjoy as
a spectator.)
Each driving team has
two or three members, one of
whom must be from the region, and the drivers of each heat are balanced based on their
rankings to assure competitiveness. After the
Asia series, three invitations will be extended
for winners to compete in the original 24
Heures du Mans in France.
When the Le Mans series first started, it
was a showcase for the cutting-edge cars of its
day. Automakers were still refining the finer
parts of aerodynamics, and European brands
like Bugatti, Bentley and Alfa Romeo began to
establish themselves as contenders on the racing circuit.
This spirit is still alive in 2014, and the
series will feature vehicle prototypes that look
more like spaceships than cars. The monsters
on the track come from familiar names like
BMW, Ferrari and Mercedes, as well as from
specialist racing brands like Pescarolo Sport
and Oreca.
The race is blazingly fast, with average
speeds well over 100mph for its duration.
Grab a comfortable seat and pick a team to
support; with this many drivers from all over
the world, there will surely be someone to
root for.

COVER STORY
and The rest...
How the other sports stack up
BY Andrew Chin
Basketball may reign
supreme, but that hasn’t
stopped other sports
leagues rushing into
the country, eager to
duplicate the NBA’s
success. Here’s how
they’re doing.
Baseball
No sport has squandered a better
opportunity, it seems. Resources
were poured into developing
China’s national team for the
Beijing Olympics, with Major
League Baseball (MLB) lending
a hand. Hall of Famer Cal Ripken
introduced grassroots programs
during a 2007 visit, and the Los
Angeles Dodgers played a pair of
exhibition games against the San
Diego Padres in 2008. Since then,
MLB has poured their resources
into the China Baseball Academy
in Wuxi they established in 2007
to train the nation’s top prospects, yet so far the Mainland
version of Ichiro Suzuki has yet to
develop…
Football
FIFA is basking
in the wake
of World Cup
fever, where
CCTV averaged
over 20 million viewers a
game, causing
the nation’s
girlfriends to
protest, “give
my boyfriend
back.” Hosts
Brazil will be
in Beijing this month, taking on arch rivals Argentina in a ‘friendly’ at
the Bird’s Nest stadium on October 11.
We won’t talk about the woeful China national team, but things are more
positive on the domestic front. Last year, Guangzhou Evergrande captured
the Asian Champions League, ending an over two-decade drought of
Chinese teams claiming the continent’s biggest prize. The current China
Super League (CSL) season continues until November 2, with Shanghai
East Asia still in the hunt for a place in the Asian Champions League.
Broadcasting rights are becoming big business. PP LiveTV signed a 10year, GBP20-million deal for streaming rights for the Scottish Premier
League and a USD11 million deal for English Premier League (EPL)
games. They’re introducing a paid subscription model, a test to see
whether Mainland fans are willing to shell out to watch their favorite
teams.
Aussie Rules
The Australian Football League
(AFL) has gone the exhibition
route, hosting the Kaspersky Cup
Shanghai Showdown between
the Melbourne Demons and
the Brisbane Lions at Jiangwan
Stadium in 2010. They were hoping the attention would catapult
them to a deal with CCTV and
more local interest. It didn’t.
Mixed Martial Arts
American Football
Ice Hockey
The Shanghai-born owner of
the New York Islanders Charles
Wang launched Project Hope in
2006, a program to bring hockey
development to the Mainland.
Unfortunately, he’s also a notoriously bad owner (more incompetent than malicious) who is
being phased out, cutting out the
National Hockey League’s (NHL)
biggest Mainland advocate.
The National Football League
(NFL) has focused on slow
growth, introducing the game
with fan interaction events like
their 10-week NFL HOME FIELD
initiative. Last year, over 100,000
people attended across Shanghai,
Beijing and Guangzhou (including
Hall of Famer Joe Montana – and
this year Jerry Rice will be visiting).
Games are available for free on
streaming services like PPTV, and
most impressive is the number
of independent teams forming.
The American Football League
of China (AFLC) is entering its
second year, playing occasional
games at NFL HOME FIELD. The
Arena Football League (AFL) has
noticed, making big noise about
starting a Mainland version of
their league next year.

Ultimate Fighting Championship
(UFC) holds events in Macau, and
created a Chinese version of their
Ultimate Fighter reality show.
However, the Mainland scene has
been dominated by homegrown
federations like RUFF, who have
focused on developing Chinese
fighters. Other organizations
have popped up, such as Fighters

Pret a Manger takes Shanghai
By Marianna Cerini
T
alk to any Brit, and news that
English chain Pret a Manger is
opening its first standalone store
in Shanghai this month will no doubt
be welcomed with a squeal of delight.
The question “Will they stock their
Christmas lunch too?” will likely follow.
Sadly, the Christmas lunch – a sanger
packed with cranberry chutney, pork
and apricot stuffing – isn’t going
to make it over till next year. Some
of Pret’s most beloved staples will,
however. And expectations are high.
First founded in London in 1986 by
college friends Julian Metcalfe and
Sinclair Beecham, Pret a Manger
typifies the improvements in fast food
eating over the last generation.
Its products, which span sandwiches,
soups, salads, breakfast items,
sweet treats and hot wraps, have
an altogether healthier, wholesome
approach to the idea of a quick bite
on the go, with no sell-by date on
anything and a philosophy of ‘made
today, gone today’ that’s been pivotal
to the success and expansion of the
brand.
And what a success it has been.
Over the last 28 years, the chain has
66
opened 289 shops in Britain, launched
in France, taken over the States and
reached East with a tremendous
growth in Hong Kong.
“Shanghai was the next obvious choice
for Asia,” says Chief Operating Officer
Nick Candler. “The city has its specific
identity while being thoroughly
Pret a Manger typifies
the improvements in
fast food eating over
the last generation
cosmopolitan,” he explains. “It
reflects our global aspirations
and is the perfect market fit for
what we want to be doing.”
That, according to Clive Schlee,
Pret’s chief executive since 2003,
is importing a model of business
that is human, approachable
and all about real food. “No
additives, no gimmicks,” he
says. “Just a commitment to
good, friendly service and fresh
ingredients.”
Hence the decision to start off
with only one shop in China. Pret
doesn’t franchise, so keeping things
low key and manageable was the
idea all along. “This way, the focus
can really be on getting the recipe for
the Chinese market right,” explains
Candler.
The store – a 233 square meter space
boasting Pret’s clean, sleek and
sensibly designed interiors – will be
located in K11, and will mark one
of the company’s biggest footprint
outside the UK.
While most Pret stores cater a takeaway clientele, the Shanghai offshoot
feature » EAT/DRINK
has been conceived around
drawing more dine-in
consumers, and will boast a
larger seating area.
blend we went for is as
natural, high-quality and
locally-sourced as you
would expect from Pret’s
standards.”
As for the menu, well, the
star items that have made
the chain so popular in other
countries are all going to
make their China’s debut.
“We’re bringing in
quintessential British
staples like egg and mayo
sandwiches, posh cheddar
and pickle baguettes and bacon and
omelette breakfast rolls,” says Clare
Langford, the chain’s acting Food
Director.
“Plus of course some of Pret’s most
popular items, like the crayfish and
avocado salad and the German
meatball wrap. We’ve strived to make
sure we have a good balance of local
and imported, and worked around
no more than 80 ingredients, to keep
food waste to a minimum.”
Such commitment is another main
trait of the Pret philosophy. Every shop
both in the UK abroad, has its own
kitchen, and on average, 95 percent of
stores give their leftovers to homeless
charities. The Shanghai branch aims to
follow the same approach.
Besides all the sarnies, granola bowls,
yoghurts and bakery items will also be
on offer.
“We wanted this outpost too feel like
any other Pret around the world,”
explains Langford. “We’ve made some
adjustments based on the market, but
here you’ll find exactly what you would
in London or Paris.”
China-specific entries include a red
bean paste granola and a wider
selection of Slim Prets – sandwiches
with half the bread, half the dough – as
well as a hot food range that surpasses
that of any other market.
Coffee, too, is set to be a prominent
element of the K11 store.
“Coffee - organic coffee to be
precise - is at the heart of Pret,” says
International Head of Coffee Chris
MacEwan, a dark beans enthusiast
who’s been working in the coffee
The city reflects our
global aspirations and
is the perfect market
fit for what we want
to be doing
industry for 17 years. “We want people
to understand coffee through coffee
wherever we launch a new Pret, and
we’ll be doing the same in Shanghai.”
Indeed, the chain will have a mini
coffee van parked outside K11 (though
plans are to later bring it around town)
that’ll hand out free cups of joes to
nearby office people, shoppers and,
we are sure, a fair share of curious
passers-by. MacEwan will
be making the dark brew
himself, “to engage with
people and really have a
chat about what we do.”
While Pret usually trades
and purchases organic
coffee from different
regions across the globe,
the roast available at the
Shanghai store will come
directly from China.
The country has different
certified standards when
it comes to its import/
export food policies, and
bringing in beans from
Colombia or Peru wasn’t
really an option, MacEwan tells us.
“Instead, we’ve looked at the local
supply,” he continues, “and opted
for a selection of coffee from familyowned farms in Northwest China. The
The quest for the
Chinese suppliers took
two years, and it’s one
of the company’s main
sources of pride when it
comes to its foray into
the country. “It’s all part
of the journey we want to
take our local customers
on,” says MacEwan, “and the fact that
we’re using produce grown within
China’s domestic borders is an allencompassing way to promote Pret’s
message and ethics here.”
Mentioning ethics when describing
what’s essentially a fast food concept
might sound a little out of place in any
other situation. But Pret feels almost
nothing like a fast food chain.
Even its staff, addressed as “the Pret
family,” is treated better than similar
organizations do - both wage and
training wise. It’s a corporate formula
that ensures service that’s both friendly
and efficient. Visit a Pret anywhere in
the world and you’ll be greeted by
chatty Pret members and baristas,
who will aim to have you out the door
within 60 seconds of you making your
choice and will likely
try to make your day
less miserable.
No wonder the chain
has been undergoing
a formidable rise.
In Shanghai, we might
be only left yearning
for that Christmas
lunch now, but given
the honesty and
commitment everyone
working for this
company abide by,
we aren’t worried the
slightest bit about it
happening next winter.
In the meanwhile, we’ll
settle for a superclub slim Pret and a
flatwhite to go just fine.

with a daily weekday happy

closed whilst it moves to its new
location, which will open this
November apparently.
Celebrated French chef Paul
Pairet can add another feather
to his bow - his restaurant
Ultraviolet has just been recognized as one of ‘Les Grandes
Tables du Monde’ in its 2015
edition - the first time a restaurant from China has been
selected to join this prestigious
culinary association. Kudos!
Speaking of culinary excellence,
John Cox of The Rooster picked
up that most coveted Shanghai
crown, that of Chili Cookoff
champ for his ‘gridiron chili.’
Expect to see it on his Yongkang
Lu menu this winter.
Shanghai being so close to Japan, we’re lucky enough to have a wealth of very decent sushi vendors who
are capable of rustling up something pretty close to an authentic Japanese experience. This is certainly
true of Sushi Naramoto, an austere omakase style establishment for serious sushi connoisseurs, serving
10-course sets from RMB1,000 upwards. One of the more exotic highlights at Naramoto is a steaming bowl
of cod testicles, that comes in a sharply flavored consommé alongside an elegantly scored piece of carrot
and a wee mushroom. The testicles themselves, or shirako, come in a pair (duh) and are possessed of a
white, milky looking texture. On first bite, the flavor inside isn’t the one that readers may be more, uh, familiar with; subtle and mineral with a custard-like texture, with a strong aftertaste of ocean. Regarded as
a delicacy in Japan, the surprisingly large shirako (meaning ‘white children’) probably weren’t our favorite
element of the meal - and we can’t imagine that we’ll be picking them out on a menu - but then again, fortune favors the bold, so grow a pair and try them.
Good for: Impressing a date/mate, sushi connoisseurs.
Price: RMB1,000 upwards for omakase 10-course set (no alcohol)

A poetic take
Putting a poetic twist on its autumn/winter menu, multi-conceptual restaurant Light & Salt has just launched a
selection of seasonal dishes inspired and accompanied
by the words of Beijing-based poet Fan Xueyi.
The delights on offer span the indulgent and the
healthy, but it’s their arty presentations that’ll make you
wax lyrically – quite literally – about your dining experience.
A smoked duck breast and duck gizzard salad
(RMB78) served with a mix of crisp bacon, pine nuts
and cherry tomatoes might just look like a bowl of
greens to you, but, according to Fan, it’s a composition
of pretty leaves fluttering through the wind.
A refreshing cucumber and green pea soup (featured on their lunch set menu only, RMB138/two
courses; RMB168/three courses) sees a parmesan chip dotted in flowers and sitting on top of a broad cup.
The potage is hidden inside, light and beautifully nourishing.
As a main, a plate of roasted miso cod (RMB188) is a treat to the eyes. Served with sweet potato purée,
wild mushroom salsa and a brush pen to help spread a pomegranate reduction onto the fish, the dish is
like a drop of golden sun, filling and warm. How’s that for some poetic inspiration? TFZ

Noodles
Henan and Lanzhou have beef
A newspaper has sparked
controversy by claiming
that Lanzhou beef noodles,
which are ubiquitous in
hole-in-the-wall restaurants all over China,
actually originated in
Bo’ai County, Henan. New
information uncovered
by the (unbiased) Henan
Business Daily suggests
that Henan student Chen Weijing first created the hand-pulled noodles during the reign of Qing Dynasty emperor Jiaqing (1796-1820).
The recipe later traveled hundreds of miles to Lanzhou, Gansu, when
Chen’s classmate Ma Liuqi, a Gansu native, learnt the recipe from
Chen. In what is undoubtedly the biggest shock in the world of wheatbased staple foodstuffs since it was first claimed that the Chinese
invented pasta, netizens are said to be outraged. Bosses at famous
Lanzhou beef noodle chain Mijia aren’t fazed though, boasting “[the
dish] may have first been made in Henan, but after it came to Lanzhou
it was greatly improved upon.”
Nom nom numbers
RMB2.2 billion
The fall in revenue from whisky imports
to China from Scotland this quarter, a
slump of 11 percent representing the
steepest fall in over 25 years. The decline
has nothing to do with their Braveheart
bid for independence either, the Scottish
Whisky Association (SWA) insist. While
previously fashionable as a more exotic
alternative to home-brewed baijiu, the
SWA blame the premium product’s decline on China’s newfound thriftiness,
part of the nationwide anti-corruption
campaign sweeping the government and
its officials.
Soundbite
“I didn’t want to waste food.
So I nibbled them. I felt like
I was eating poison.”
A netizen’s bittersweet Weibo comment about a box of mooncakes with novel – and admittedly a tad weird - flavors such as
leek and bacon, chocolate and spicy beef, fermented bean curd
and even fried fat with ginger. His post, accompanied by images
of the mooncakes, started a ‘most bizarre mooncake’ standoff on
Chinese social media. Entries by other netizens spanned braised
pork with chili, Pu’er tea, truffle goose liver and… durian! Durian
definitely wins.

Premier advice
While debate raged over the origins of
Lanzhou noodles, Chinese premier Xi
Jinping was imploring his citizens to eat
less instant ones when on vacation: “Let
me just say here that we ought to teach
our citizens to be a bit more civilized when
they travel abroad. Don’t throw water bottles everywhere, don’t destroy people’s coral
reefs and eat fewer instant noodles and more
local seafood.” Xi was responding to a question
about his countrymen’s occasionally tactless
habits in other countries while on a diplomatic trip
to the Maldives, hot on the heels of reports that Chinese-friendly
hotels in the island nation - where 400,000 mainland tourists are
expected to travel next year - have removed hot water kettles from
rooms in a bid to curb tourists from feasting solely on packaged noodles whilst on holidays.
Pomelo
With a taste similar to grapefruit
but sweeter and far less sour,
pomelos (you zi 柚子) can be
spotted everywhere this season.
Rich in Vitamin C – a pomelo can
provide almost 200 percent the
daily value of the nutrient – these
yellow-skinned fruits are a low calorie, low GL (glycemic load) treat
perfect to boost your immune
system. The heavier ones with
smoother skin are usually the juiciest. Average price: RMB3-5/jin.
Pomegranate (shi liu 石榴) season
is here. Sweet and a bit sour, the
fruit contains lots of crystal-clear,
juicy red arils loaded with flavor
and nutrition. Rich in Vitamin C &
B and low in fat, the juice of this
fruit is known for lowering blood
sugar and cholesterol. Widely
cultivated in An’hui and Xinjiang
provinces, the best ones are those
with skin that’s bright, thin and
free of blemishes or bruising.
Average price: RMB3-7/jin.

Hairy Crab Season
The That’s guide to gorging on the Shanghai delicacy
By Betty Richardson
Praise be! Hairy Crab Season is
upon us again. New to the world of
Shanghai-style crab degustation?
Here’s the lowdown on how to
find Shanghai’s best of the best
speciality crab restaurants, and
what to eat when you get there.
be a tricky business. Worry not, we’ve done
the hard work for you, simply follow this
path and scuttle your way to dozens of different crustacean-laden dish deliciousness.
Know Your Crab
For real Shanghainese crab connoisseurs,
the allure of crab season is the prized golden
roe, which matures in female crabs in the
9th Lunar Month (September 24th) and
the males in the 10th (October 22nd). Prior
to that time, it’s not really worth eating, as
the delicious crabby insides won’t have yet
matured. Don’t worry though, hairy crabs
will stay in season until the end of the year,
meaning you’ll have plenty of time to try.
What to Eat
The Lowdown
Some people say you haven’t really experienced living in Shanghai until you’ve eaten
mountains of rich, buttery crab meat and roe
that mark Hairy Crab Season. We say they’re
right. To the uninitiated, knowing which
crab restaurants are worth your money and
which of their dishes they are known for can
70
Unadulterated: Whole and Steamed
Purists argue that mature Hairy Crab is best
enjoyed simply steamed with fragrant ginger and served whole with a dipping sauce
of rice vinegar, sugar and ginger. However,
picking apart the little devils with your bare
hands is a fiddly and laborious process. We
say maximize your crab eating capacity by
having the restaurant ‘dress’ your crabs for
you (i.e. pick out the all the good bits and
open their wee legs and claws). All the crab
restaurants listed here will happily oblige
you in this, which means the added benefit of
your fingers not smelling like crab for hours
afterwards. Yay!
If you do decide to go it alone there are some
rules that should be followed:
1. Don’t eat the stomach, a plasticy pyramidshaped thing, and don’t eat the crescentshaped lungs.
2. In traditional Chinese medicine, crabmeat
is thought to be a ‘cold’ food - so do eat it
with plenty of balancing warming foods like
vinegar and ginger, which you’ll find conveniently paired with your crab. Go ahead and
drink a flask of warming Shaoxing rice wine
(obviously recommended).
3. Do not - under any circumstances - eat
the heart. Roughly the size of a SIM card, the
heart is considered to be even colder than the
crabmeat. Eating it is extremely bad juju, so
pop that little critter to the side and move on.
Xiefen
Another highlight of Hairy Crab season,
Xiefen consists of a deliciously rich, buttery
mixture of crabmeat and roe, usually combined with scrambled egg whites (Xiefen Dan
蟹粉蛋), shrimps (Xiefen Xiaren 蟹粉虾仁)
or our favourite: steamed flat noodles (Xiefen
Fenpi 蟹粉粉皮). In our opinion, Xiefen
dishes are the best use of your time when it
comes to crab eating, and are one of the most
economic ways to maximize time spent eating versus time picking them apart.
Five Must Try Crab Dishes

drop the ball when Hairy Crab season rolls
around. In fact, Old Jesse is probably one of
the best places to try the most daring of all
crab dishes - Drunken Crab. Feared by many
(for good reason) Drunken Crab is basically
a live crab drowned in Yellow Rice liquor
overnight and served whole. Arguments for
eating: delicious, sashimi-like crab meat and
pure unadulterated crab roe. Arguments
against: raw flesh potentially riddled with
bacteria and parasites. We say you give this
one a miss unless you have a strong stomach
or particularly extensive health insurance.
restaurant in Shanghai has its own speciality
dishes that it does the best, we’ve chosen
a few local favorites at some of Shanghai’s
classic crab eateries.
1. Deep-Fried Boneless Chicken Wing
stuffed with Sticky Rice and Crab Meat at
Cheng Long Hang Crab Palace
The aptly named ‘Crab Palace’ that is Cheng
Long Hang takes the humble chicken wing
to a whole new level during crab season, deboning it, deep frying it, and then stuffing it
with an umami-rich mix of sticky rice and
crab meat. Guilt inducing and delicious, we
couldn’t manage more than one each. We’re
pussies though, so let us know if you finish
all four.
2. Xiefen Dandan Mian at Ling Long Ge
You may have had Dandan Mian, or egg noodles in spicy peanut and scallion sauce, at
beloved Taiwanese chain restaurant Din Tai
Feng, but you really haven’t lived until you’ve
had Ling Long Ge’s rendition, in
which they switch customary minced
pork for the aforementioned delicious Xiefen
3. Drunken Crab at Old Jesse
If you’ve been living in Shanghai for
any stretch of time, you will by now
have heard of Old Jesse, regarded as
one of the ‘realest’ places to get authentic Shanghainese food. And you
can bet your bottom dollar they don’t
4. Xiefen with Brioche Toast at Fu 1088
Most of the places listed here are pretty
classy (in our opinion), but if you’re really looking to impress your guests, you
can’t go wrong with Fu 1088- an old school
Shanghainese culinary temple in a sympathetically renovated French Concession
villa. Impeccable service and old-school
atmosphere aside, Fu 1088’s specialty is
their golden-hued Xiefen with long sticks
of toasted brioche and a tart vinegar sauce
to sprinkle on top. At around RMB400 per
person, a meal at this place isn’t cheap but
it’s totally worth it for out of town guests or
a special occasion.
5.Tu Huang You at Cheng Long Hang Crab
Palace
Indulgent and complex, Tu Huang You (秃
黄油) is made from pure crab fat and roe,
which undergoes a lengthy cooking process
involving yellow wine and consommé to produce a concentrated reduction. One of Cheng
Long Hang’s signature dishes, this comes
with a simple bowl of sticky rice, a side of
balsamic vinegar and a wee shot of palatecleansing ginger tea for afterwards. We say
if you try just one dish this crab season- it’s
this one, you won’t find it done anywhere
better than at this place iw n Shanghai.

of the amazing Burrata cheese found
at the likes of Jean Georges, Table
No.1, Mercato and Commune Social? Austin
Hu, owner of Madison and long-standing
fixture on the Shanghai F&B scene, has answered your calls and opened a new joint
venture with KJ Lee, the masterful Korean
lady behind Solo Latte (www.sololatte.
com), the only company producing fresh
Mozzarella and Burrata daily in Shanghai.
Still in soft opening, Bottega currently
offers a choice selection from their full menu,
including pastas, 500 degree fired pizzas,
antipasti, salads and, of course, plates of KJ’s
famous Mozzarella and Burrata.
At RMB108 a go, we can’t say our
Burrata was particularly cheap, but in this
instance we advise throwing caution to the
wind. Totally unadulterated stracciatella
and panna encased within a delicate shell of
Mozzarella, KJ’s Burrata is served neat with
a dash of olive oil, black pepper and homemade pesto, which could only have be improved by a slice of bread or two. Nicknamed
“The Queen of Cheeses” (that’s ‘Burrata,
la regina dei formaggi,’ apparently), eating
a whole Burrata is an intensely luxurious
experience. While no doubt sinfully high in
calories, care we did not.
Another favorite we sampled was an
Anchovy Butter Spaghetti (98RMB), with
deep fried capers and some sort of crunchy,
savory matter on top. Unidentifiable, but all

another excellent choice for those with no
predisposition to heart disease or arterial
clogging or heart disease.
According to Hu, however, the jewel
in Bottega’s crown will be its pizzas, fired
at temperatures of over 500 degrees
and topped by a generous helping of KJ’s
Mozzarella. Other Shanghai pizzas feature
bases that become too thin in their pursuit of
crunchy texture, he insists. “What I wanted to
do was create a perfect pizza base that was
crunchy on top with a soft, billowing interior.”
Already proving a popular addition to the
Xintiandi area, we’re keen to see if Hu and architect-turned-fromagère KJ can continue to
bring it once they’re up and running properly.
Price: Approx. RMB400/ two people.
Who's going: Local clientele, and expats.
Good for: Casual dining.

Drei Kronen 1308 Brauhaus
Traditional German comfort food and micro-brewery on the North Bund
By Tongfei Zhang
I
n the year 1308, Drei Kronen 1308 was
founded in Strassgiech, Bavaria. Fastforward 706 years, the German brauhaus
has arrived in Shanghai, serving up mouthwatering Bavaian comfort food in the tradition
of the “heritage brewery”.
Located in Hongkou's North Bund area
and set on the ground floor of a grand complex, a model of an iron knight guards the
gate. Furnished in typical Teutonic style,
hundreds of little Bavarian flags hang above
across industrial lamps, while a sizeable stage
behind the bar counter occupies almost half
of the restaurant, presumably for some form
of live entertainment.
German in-house Master Brewer Tobias
M. Weber, who’s been brewing for 23 years,
tends to the enormous tanks of fermenting
beer all day. He recommends first-timers try
the DK 1308 Beer Board (RMB138): six
foamy classics served on a roll - lager, wheat
and dark (each 0.2L). Our favorites were the
lighter ales, but those of stauncher tastes will
enjoy the nuttiness of dark ale too.
On the food front it’s fair to say Drei
Kronen attempts to touch all the bases with
their super extensive menu. From assorted
Barvarian cold cuts (RMB88) to Germanstyle pizzas (RMB88-108), vegetarian food
and even Asian dishes, Drei Kronen isn’t letting anyone slip them by.
A mixed sausage platter (RMB198) consists of nurenberger, cheese Krainer, a wiener
and Sicilian sausage atop sauerkraut and
creamy mashed potatoes. Dry and smoked,
we gave these wursts kudos for not being
overly salty, as is often the case.
Drei Kronen also seems to be wrestling
rivals Paulaner for the grilled pork knuckle
(RMB198) crown. Here they come thoughtfully pre-diced into smaller pieces for sharing.
This very heavy dish comes with traditional
potato dumplings and sauerkraut salad to cut
through the juicy, crunchy pork skin.
Somewhat perplexingly, Drei Kronen
hires a Colombian band to take to the afore-
mentioned stage Tuesday through Sunday
from 8pm onwards. Then again, diversity is
the spice of life, and Drei Kronen is betting
that you’d rather listen to Colombian Latino
than any German musical exports.
Who’s going: Meat and drink lovers.
Good for: Big groups, parties, casual dining
and comfort food.
Price: RMB700/two people including alcohol.

Pirates
Wonderland
Kitsch pirate-themed novelty
restaurant in Xujiahui
By Tongfei Zhang
L
ooking for somewhere fun to take the kids to eat? Pirates
Wonderland on Xietu Lu might just have the answer for you
with its insanely kitsch pirate-themed restaurant. Behind the
same company that created notorious toilet-themed restaurants - one
in Tianzifang and one right by this place within the same mall - comes
the newest creation from the fertile minds of Modern Toilet: Pirate’s
Wonderland.
Doing exactly what is says on the tin, minus the ‘wonder’ part,
Pirate’s Wonderland invites diners to first fetch a coin from the
number-calling desk and venture in by inserting it into a mysterious
hole at the entrance. As a giant wooden gate slowly slides open on both
sides, a dim cavernous dining hall is gradually revealed, with an enthusiastic “Yo-ho!” greeting from pirate-attired servers.
Pulling out all the stops with their commitment to this swashbuckling theme, interiors reveal a shabby iron-chained medieval staircase,
which extends all the way to the second floor. On the other side, a tremendous wooden boat floats mysteriously in the air like a ghostly galleon (it is actually a private room).
With a concept revolving around the notion that, if a bunch of pirates got stranded on an isolated island and devised a restaurant, then
this is what it would look like, the setting also includes a 7-meter-high
“cave,” fashioned from what appears to be papier-mâché. Naturally for
a desert island, the menu at Pirate’s Wonderland concerns itself primarily with seafood, but also includes a number of more eclectic numbers
such as BBQ pork ribs and nachos with sour cream and salsa.
A Seafood Platter (RMB118/2-3 people, RMB288/3-5 people) we
sampled was served with a yell “Hello bucko!”- apparently a custom
of expressing due exuberance while serving a grand dish, sort of akin
to when somebody buys 10 bottles of champagne at a nightclub (only
Long John Silver style). Boasting a fierce-looking starfish (yup, a real
one), lobster, clams, prawns, conches and scallops, the colorful plate
was filled with ocean creatures and came with two bowls of homemade
sauce.
Mixed seafood and meat (RMB148) came on a shining “silver” plate
with grilled squid, barbecued pork, prawns, bacon vegetable skewers
and fried fish pies. Grilled Squid were cut into slices while skewers are
stringed up in a hook like the one Captain Jack Sparrow uses. Loath as
we are to admit, at this point we our inner child won and we walked
the proverbial plank, powerless but to give them kudos for their vigilance in sticking to the pirate novelty theme.
Appealing to younger diners (and pirate enthusiasts), the restaurant also projects various piratey-themed movies onto the wall, which
can be enjoyed whilst nibbling. Thai curry shrimps (RMB168) as a
snack - almost buried in a thick layer of curry, we’d recommend them
along with coconut rice (RMB8). Not to be taken too seriously, we
reckon this place might serve best as an option for kids, especially for
parties. Oh, and for very camp parties, now we come to think of it.

Cheung’s Restaurant
Unpretentious Chinese eatery in Xuhui with a healthy twist
By Tongfei Zhang
ing heavy and oily, but that doesn’t make fried
soy sauce prawns (RMB100) any less popular. At Cheung’s however, without the sauce
to give them their usual glowing golden hue,
the prawns came dry fried with a crunchy
exterior, soft insides and a subtler flavor than
we’re used to with this dish.
Arguably the highlight of our meal was a
simple, but incredibly tender steamed white
fish (RMB88/0.5KG). For those of you that
aren’t experts, white fish are sizeable scaly
lake-dwellers hailing from Taihu, typically
cooked in home-brewed soy sauce soup.
Here at Cheung’s, most soups and sauces are
blended and seasoned with home-braised
broth or concentrated chicken soups, so the
dish’s original flavor isn’t affected but rather
complemented by delicate natural flavoring.
Other old-school dishes are reminiscent
of Shanghainese childhood favorites such as
simple, comforting braised pork (RMB8/
each) and chicken soup egg dumplings
(RMB48). After all those heavy meals you
upside down
eats
might be having frequently, this place is great
spot for a light bite of healthy and good value
food with old-school Chinese flavors.
Price: Approx. RMB120/pp.
Who’s going: Locals… at the moment.

T
ucked into an inconspicuous building
one block away from the SML Center,
newly opened Cheung’s Restaurant
is an unpretentious place serving simple,
healthy local treats with zero artificial flavours, apparently. Ideal for those wanting a
taste of Chinese cuisine without the intense,
oily, spicy and/or MSG assault you might find
at other local eateries.
Owned by the brains behind Indian
Kitchen, this homey place focuses on “light
cooking” - less oil, no additives, that sort of
thing. Don’t expect to see the usual neon curry
sauce or MSG sweet n’ sour sauce - they’re going for a natural aesthetic here with emphasis
on ingredients.
A dish of chilled black bean sprouts
(RMB16/small, RMB26/big) proved a refreshing, light appetizer, while traditional salty
boiled peanuts (RMB16/small, RMB26/big)
were a healthier alternative to their oilier,
fried counterparts (which we admit we also

Museo
Art-themed fine dining on the Bund
By Betty Richardson
O
ccupying one of the brand-spanking
new marble-walled spaces underneath Glamour Bar, Museo is a slick
new fine dining restaurant with a curious
‘art theme’ running through it at Five on the
Bund.
Not content with being a restaurant
alone, Museo is ambitiously aiming to marry
fine art with food - right in the dining room,
no less. According to their website, Museo
wants to “UNLEASH THAT INNER ARTIST
WITHIN YOU” with their “Art Jamming
Studio,” where you essentially paint at an
easel (they provide) while having afternoon
tea for RMB250. We can see this proving a
popular weekend option for those with children in the future.
The evening menu, uncharacteristically
long for a fine dining concept, has a number
of intriguing concoctions, some of which
have been given an arty twist. Starters, or
mezzanines, as Museo prefers to call them,
are named after/inspired by paintings and
artists, such as ‘Smile of Mona Lisa,’ which
is obviously a deep-fried Camembert with
cranberry sauce (duh), and ‘Picasso’s Three
Musicians’- aka soft-shell crab. Museo
lets you pick two for RMB130 or four for
RMB240.
If you’re really feeling ostentatious, flip
over to the next page of ‘premium mez-
76
zanines’ (basically fancier
starters with more expensive
ingredients.) We tried ‘Van
Gogh’s cold pasta with
truffle and salmon roe’
(RMB98). To our mind the
link between Vincent Van
Gogh and a shot glass of cold
linguine seems tenuous at best, but what do
we know? Similar concerns were raised with
‘Kahlo’s pandan phicken’ (RMB85)- did
Frida like Pandan chicken? Museo is betting
you’ll never know for sure.
Somewhat surprisingly, main courses
veer towards simple classics. We tried BBQ
pork back rib (RMB190), but wished we’d
gone for chargrilled Canadian beef shortstrip (RMB275) instead, since that one
makes use of Museo’s Spanish charcoal oven,
imbuing a rich smoky flavor into the meat.
Undoubtedly our favorite was chargrilled
Australian black angus sirloin (RMB290),
served with hearty roast potatoes, Hawaiian
black lava salt, garlicky fine beans and a rich
caramel-hued red wine sauce.
Desserts also seem to have escaped the
arty treatment, focusing on favorites such as
vodka chocolate lava cake (RMB95), and a
simple vanilla cheesecake (RMB95), albeit
with a curiously Oreo-like “chocolate soil.”
Not being ones to shy away from danger, we
also tried a durian gelato (RMB35), a good
choice for thrill-seekers.
At this point we’d say Museo is a better
option for lunch rather than dinner, largely
due to their good value Executive Lunch two courses RMB200 or three for RMB250.
Basically you choose either one of the mezzanines or deserts along with a full size main
course, like the ones we mentioned here, essentially giving you the same experience but
more food, for cheaper. Similarly good value
is an Afternoon Tea Set (240 for two people),
offering around nine mini-courses of food
plus a specialty tea from Arteastiq.
Price: Approx RMB850/two people, excluding alcohol.
Who’s going: Well-heeled locals, rich
Shanghainese housewives.
Good for: Business lunch, afternoon tea
Bad for: Big groups.

Iza
Pocket-sized sushi joint on Anfu Lu
By Monica Liau
 
I
za takes up a mysterious, pocket-sized cubbyhole on Anfu Lu, inside is a long, tight space where diners hunch against a sushi bar
or huddle around the table for four by the window. Labeling its
offerings as ‘Contemporary Japanese Cuisine,’ this small space boasts
a Japanese chef and whips up an assortment of sashimi, California
rolls, tempura and yakimono.
The real winners are in the latter option, a selection of morsels
cooked on the grill, which sizzles and smokes in a corner. Sold by
the skewer, portions are minimal but flavors impressive. Minced
chicken ball (RMB29) comes coated in a heavy, sweet braise, slightly
caramelized into an appealing crust. The same sauce is utilized atop
succulent hunks of pork belly (RMB38), char-touched tips of fat and
meat singing beneath. Grilled mackerel (RMB38), with strong, oil-rich
flesh, stands up mightily to the lick of fire and flame. The same cannot
be said for a fresh scallop (RMB24), which arrives daintily on a gold
whorled shell, but has long been beaten into submission.
As for the rest of the menu, we can only shrug. The sushi counter, to which so much space is devoted, does not seem to have its act
together. An assortment of 10 kinds of sushi (RMB128) consists of
generous cuts of salmon, giant clam, amber jack and tuna. However,
the rice tucked beneath is an insult: loosely packed, stale and lacking
in fragrance. A soft shell crab roll (RMB58) is similarly lackluster. Best
stick with sashimi options if you’re eating fish here.
For filler, a tempura basket (RMB68) comes with hearty vegetables and sweet shrimp enrobed in puffy, if slightly flaccid batter.
Asparagus with Iza sauce (RMB24) offers perfectly good, green
spears lightly poached. However, the house topping turns out be
nothing more than ribbons of mayonnaise crisscrossed over them.
Price: Approx. RMB300
Who’s going: Single diners or couples
Good for: Lunch, solo dining, casual date

EAT/DRINK « on the grill
B
ack in December, Alvin Leung
earned three Michelin stars for Bo
Innovation. his fine dining restaurant in Hong Kong, becoming one of only
two self-trained chefs in the world to do so
(the other is Heston Blumenthal). An engineer until the age of 40, Leung’s pioneering
takes on Chinese cuisine earned him more
Michelin stars in London, a judge spot on the
popular TV series Masterchef Canada and
notoriety for his rebellious ways – one of his
most famous dishes is called ‘Condom on the
Beach.’ Now, the straight-shooting, self-titled
‘Demon Chef’ is taking on Shanghai. But
instead of fine dining, Leung has partnered
with new restaurant Remedy 365, overhauling the café-like menu and incorporating
elements from Traditional Chinese Medicine
(TCM), and hoping to expand to 20 restaurants in five years. Here’s what Leung has to
say.
Why have you chosen Remedy for your
Shanghai debut…
I was asked by Eu Yan Sang [one of the oldest TCM companies in the world, backing
this venture] to help build up a menu based
on health food. Wait… I wouldn’t say health
food. That sometimes touches the wrong
button for people.
I’m attempting a crossover between Chinese
medicine and cuisine. There are a lot of
Chinese dishes in which medicinal purposes
are already embedded – look at our soups so the concept of mixing medicine with food
is definitely not new. It’s something that
you should incorporate into your lifestyle to
maintain your health. So it’s a very exciting
project.
Do you think the knowledge is going out
of fashion?
I think nowadays, with modern education
and the internet, more people are turning
to alternatives when they discover certain
Western medicines or supplements have side
effects. It’s obviously not as popular as 100
years ago, when it was your only choice. But
I do not think that it’s lost. A lot of people
are taking supplement pills. And obviously
Chinese medicine is quite a bitter pill to
swallow…
Yeah, a lot of Chinese medicine doesn’t
taste very good…
Well, I never heard of medicine tasting very
good, unless it’s a morphine substitute or
something like that [laughs].But some do.
Obviously we’re doing a café where people
come to eat. And the best medicines are the
ones you don’t know you took.
My approach is to utilize any distinctive flavor in the herb that could be pleasant, and if
the taste is not pleasant, find a way to make
it so. Coffee, black, is not pleasant to a lot
of people … except me and you of course…
[Leung has had two coffees so far].
So they disguise that taste with milk and
sugar. But the coffee and caffeine is still

Three-star Michelin chef helps the
medicine go down
BY Monica Liau
there. The same can be applied to TCM. If it
contains something pleasant – in coffee you
get the aroma, that bitterness - that attracts
your taste buds then I try to showcase that.
Can you give me an example of some
herbs you’re working with?
Ginseng, caterpillar worms, hawthorn and lot
of others that are probably not well known.
A lot of flavor problems come from the drying process. Take mountain yam. In its dry
state, it tastes like chalk. But fresh, it’s very
useful. I went to a herb factory in Dongguan
and tasted of a lot of fresh herbs before they
were processed. Some are fantastic.
You call your food at Bo Innovation
“X-treme Chinese food” – do you see this
new project as a natural progression or
departure?
Taking Chinese medicine and turning it
into a chain restaurant, isn’t extreme? Just
because there’s no condom in the dish? Just
cause I don’t make a cow pregnant?
Ha, fair point. Ever get tired of being
asked about “X-treme Cuisine”?
I don’t – it creates a certain myth around me,
which to a lot of people can be fascinating.
You never get tired of the attention, unless it’s people chasing me for money I owe
them… [chuckles] I think extreme can be
interpreted in many ways.
My philosophy is to change people’s comfort zones. Every time people see Chinese
medicine they go ewww. Taking that on, that
is also extreme. You go down the street and
walk backwards, that’s extreme. I’m not trying to go the opposite way, just another way.
That condom on the beach – ever regret
inventing the dish?
You should never regret what you do in
life, you can’t go backward in time, so it’s
not very practical to regret something. The
question you want to ask me is, would I do it
again with something else? And the answer
is 100 percent definitely, yes.
You’re not a classically trained chef, did
this help or hurt?
There are positives and negatives about that.
I started from a blank board, so I’m able to
see things from another perspective, and
that’s good because it makes you different –
but can also be a hindrance. But nowadays
with the internet you can learn techniques
in split seconds. It’s probably harder for me
to learn how to putt a golf ball than chop up
a lobster.
Any valuable lessons along the way?
I learned that an egotistical chef and a financier who couldn’t cook or and can’t eat if
his life depends on it are a bad mix. In order
to do what I do, you have to have a lot of
different skill levels – the least of which of
cooking.
You have to manage a business and get the
best out of your staff. You have to organize
things and know the differences between
profit and loss. To me, cooking is easy, you
on the grill » EAT/DRINK
can pick it up in hours. It’s harder to pick up
these other life skills.
Talking about ego, you were saying you
like the reputation and recognition…
You don’t?
No, I love it… but I don’t have three Michelin
stars and…
You’re making this like I should be guilty or
something
No, let me finish! I was going to ask how you
keep yours in check, because a lot of chefs
can’t and they fail because of it.
My wife keeps it in check, she keeps criticizing me.
The ‘Demon Chef’ moniker - you came up
with that yourself. Why?
Because I didn’t want to be named something
else. If your mother names you Chicken Liver,
then you’re stuck with it. They were calling me
‘The God Chef’ and ‘The Rock n’ Roll chef,’ and
I didn’t want that. So I decided to step in and
make myself the Demon Chef.
The Rock n’ Roll chef sounds cool. Why
don’t you want that?
Because I’m not a musician. I don’t know why
they call me the Rock n’ Roll chef. I guess be-
cause I have long hair and tattoos and break
things and whatever. I’m just saying that
Demon Chef best fits my personality and my
philosophy.
If you were to ask me “Why are you the
Rock n’ Roll chef?” I’d have nothing to say, know
what I mean? So, knowing 10 years down the
line that there may be a lot of journalists or fans
asking me that question, I was smart enough to
anticipate that and change my name…
So why the Demon Chef?
I’m a very mysterious person. People see
‘Condoms on the Beach’ and think, this guy
must be a nasty person, he’s weird, he’s probably on dope. But I’m not weird. I’m very practical and have full control of my life and my body.
Is that persona something they told you
to play up?
This is all me. I’m inspired by success and recognition which could be a very selfish inspiration. People say I want to do it for my family,
my country. It’s a very nice thing to say. Read
it in the paper a thousand times. Is that guy
really the new Jesus incarnate? Put him on
the cross and find out.

Condoms on the Beach
Leung’s most recognition-achieving dish
resembles a used condom discarded on
a beach. “I made something with shiitake mushrooms that looked like sand
and then, in my little deformed mind, I
said, ‘I gotta do a complete U-turn here,’”
he has explained. He dips a cigar former
into a viscous pink liquid made of tapioca and yams to create a translucent
sheath, into which he injects a white
mixture of honey and Yunnan ham. He
then lays the edible prophylactic on to
his mushroom sand.

Hello
treacle
British Kitchen’s
desserts for your
toaster oven
BY James Stockdale, Photos by Nicky Almasy
I
f you’ve ever been in London, you might
have heard someone say a phrase that
never fails to make me grin, “Hello treacle.” This doesn’t mean every Londoner is obsessed with the consumption of treacle tarts,
but instead, you’re witnessing, in action, one
of the most wonderful forms of slang in existence – Cockney Rhyming.
Simply put: treacle = treacle tart = sweetheart.
That being said, treacle tart (the dessert, I
mean) is altogether pretty magical. And yes,
you’ll probably note that the final size of the
tart is indeed 9 ¾ inches in width. I promise
you, it was purely accidental and nothing to
do with a certain wizard with round glasses!
80
Treacle Tart Recipe
Serves 8
Pastry base
• 125 grams butter softened
• 85 grams white sugar
• 2 egg yolks
• 225 grams flour
Treacle Filling
• 90 grams bread crumbs
• 60 grams ground almonds
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 250 grams golden syrup
• 90 grams treacle
• Zest of half a lemon
• Juice of half a lemon
• 1 egg beaten
• 100 milliliters cream
Make the pastry by adding butter and
sugar to a bowl, mixing with a wooden spoon
until light and creamy in texture (around five
minutes). Carefully combine the beaten egg,
followed by the flour and mix to form a ball
of dough. Wrap dough in clingfilm (clingwrap to you Yanks) and transfer to the fridge
to rest for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 160˚C. Roll the
chilled pastry to a thickness of 3 millimeters
and use to line a 25 centimeters (9 ¾ inch)
easy release tart case, pressing it gently
with your fingers into the sides whilst being careful not to stretch the pastry. Trim
off any excess pastry and line the case with
a scrunched up sheet of baking paper and
dried rice, then place in the oven for 20 minutes to blind bake the pastry.
Take the pastry case out of the oven and
remove baking paper and rice. Use a pastry
case to brush beaten egg around the inside
of the pastry, then place back in the oven for
five minutes (this will help to seal up any
holes). Remove from the oven and allow cool
for 10 minutes. Turn the oven up to 180˚C.
In a large bowl add ground almonds,
breadcrumbs, ginger and cinnamon, and mix
together until evenly combined.
Heat the golden syrup, treacle and lemon
zest in a saucepan until it begins to bubble,
then pour directly into the bowl of breadcrumbs and stir to incorporate. Add lemon
juice, egg and cream, and mix until evenly
combined.
Pour mixture into the prebaked pastry
case and place in the oven for 15 minutes,
or until the filling is set with the slightest of
wobbles in the middle. Once ready remove
from the oven and trim and allow to cool
to room temperature before serving with
a drizzle of cream, or a generous dollop of
good quality vanilla ice cream.

Belgian Beer Cafe joffre
Cold beer and a warm atmosphere on Donghu Lu
By betty richardson
A
t one end of leafy Donghu Lu is the
newest outpost of the Belgian Beer
Café, which serves up flagons of
reasonably priced Belgian beers and comfort
food to mixed crowds of locals and expats.
With around 60-70 franchises around the
world, and 10 in the Netherlands alone, the
Belgian Beer Cafe is a laid-back bar concept
based on the countryside Belgian Brown
Cafés popular in the early 20th century.
Hoping to become a similar hub for the local
community, this place features an outdoor
terrace for people watching and an indoor
big-screen for hosting sports events. No
doubt popular with the Shanghai Belgians
then.
Having previously worked for brewery giant
Anheuser Busch, owners Dennis and Shuhua developed a passion for Beer. “We wanted to bring
a little bit of the of Belgian beer culture we love
to our home in Shanghai,” explains Shuhua.
At the bar you’ll find the crowd pleasing
favorite, Stella Artois (RMB45, 330ml), a pleas-
antly bitter Belgian lager with a refreshing finish. As enthusiastic manager Jeroen told us, “We
installed a special pump system that ensures
our various beers are served at the correct temperature, which for a lager beer like Stella Artois
is stone cold at 3 degrees centigrade.”
As any sensible Belgian will tell you, drinking on an empty stomach is a terrible idea, thus
the Belgian Beer Café has devised a menu of
pretty generously portioned dishes designed to
be paired with beer. Trés convenient! Probably
one of the world’s favourite Belgian exports,
Organic Live Blue Steamed Moulles (RMB218
500g) was one of our favorites, along with classic Cheese Croquettes (RMB68), with approximately 75 percent emmenthal, mozzarella and
parmesan, according to Jeroen. And he would
know- he hails from Belgium’s most prominent
families of Croquette manufacturers. FACT.
We were pretty full after also sampling their
Patat Royal (RMB45) with baked ham and tartar
sauce, and their Belgian Gold Thick Cut Fries
(RMB35), which came with a lemony home-
made mayonnaise, but
ordered desert anyway so
as to sample another famous Belgian export: Chocolate. Big enough to share, the Belgian
Chocolate Mousse (RMB55) isn’t something you
might naturally pair with beer, but it did have a
small batch homemade taste that’s quite hard to
find in a restaurant.
We recommend you check out the Belgian
Beer Café during their Buy-One-Get-One-Free
Happy Hour from 2-7pm, or come for their
RMB188 brunch menu at the weekends.
Price: Approx. 250RMB pp (incl alc.)

Fumo
Euro Futurism found below Lune
By Marianna Cerini
I
n the same building as Lune, up some
stairs – or the tiniest elevator you’ll ever
be in – and set over a sleek, sexy interior,
Fumo is a new wine/cocktail/lounge bar
from the owners of UVA.
All dark wood, angular lines, plush leather sofas, and a big long bar to sit at, this place
has a pretty chic modernist vibe. The name
Fumo stands for ‘Futurismo’ (aka Futurism,
for English speakers), and it’s clear the décor
draws quite a bit of inspiration from the early 20th century Italian art movement. There
are lots of geometric prints and patterns
edging the space, and random engine parts
sporadically dotted around as ornamental
pieces. It’s all very neat and chic, part classy
joint part discreet hangout for a quiet drink
with friends.
Taking the art of boozing very seriously,
the drink menu spans wines and cocktails,
with a solid list of classic and original
concoctions. Most of the vinos come from
Italy, with prices ranging from RMB298 to
RMB3,960, and a number priced individually
by the glass, from RMB45 for a glass of Corte
Federico Chardonnay.
It was the cocktails that most impressed
us, however. A negroni (RMB70) was perfectly executed by our bartender, who earned
extra points for enquiring about our preferences of gin and vermouth combinations.
It brought us back memories of lightweight
summer suits, Ray-Ban Wayfarers, Vespas,
white jeans and tanned Italians in Capri
pants. 
A dirty martini (RMB70) delivered a
pretty strong punch, with a dash of olive
brine bringing a salty, savory note to this
all-time classic. A Manhattan (RMB70) was
equally well made and incredibly rich.
To soak up all the alcohol – and, oh boy,
did we need to after three drinks – the kitchen serves small, appetizing bites and plates
to share. Think cheese and cold cuts platters, fries and mini burgers (RMB55-98).
Proper mains like mussels, tuna steak and
Wagyu sirloin (RMB78-218) are available
for bigger appetites, though the thought of
having dinner at what’s mostly a lounge bar
didn’t particularly appeal.
The folks behind Fumo definitely know
their onions – the place has a good, hip
atmosphere while still managing to steer
away from the pretentious. We expect a
well-groomed clientele to hit up its premises
– and those nicely made libations – pretty
soon, and on a regular basis.
Price: RMB70 for cocktails, small plates between RMB55-98, mains from RMB78-218,
wine by the glass from RMB45

Beer garden

A
ccording to owners IH Asia, their
new beer garden on Jiaozhou Lu
will be the first of its kind to debut
in Asia, let alone Shanghai. Located on the
ground floor of trendy eco-boutique URBN
hotel, ‘beergrdn’ sounds like it’s taking
resident Shanghai beer experts Dr. Beer
head on with “one of Shanghai’s most
comprehensive lists” of more than 50 international bottled beers and eight brews
on tap, including two imaginatively named
exclusive custom-made beers: ‘American
Big Busty Wheat’ and ‘Shangh-IPA.’
We’re also excited to see the ‘gourmet
hot dog stand’ that beergrdn is promising,
along with an appetizing assortment of
cured meats and cheeses from the ‘Ham
and Mozza bar,’ and focaccia bread baked
daily on-site.
Beer and hot dogs aside, beergrdn
assures us they’ll be devising plenty of
fun-filled events such as tastings, craft
brewing workshops, festivals, competitions, games, nightly DJs and even the
occasional smattering of live music. If that
wasn’t enough, they’re also installing over
60 retro arcade games and activities like
beer pong tables and darts boards and big
screens for sports and movie nights.
Hopefully opening just in time for
Oktoberfest, beergrdn sounds like it’s trying to be a lot of things - something halfway between a bar and a frat house - but
hopefully they’ll be able to pull it off and
become a worthwhile addition to the local
craft beer movement that seems to be taking the city by storm these days.

Help when you
need it most
Lifeline Shanghai’s tenth anniversary
BY Christine Forte
I
t almost goes without saying that the adjustment to living overseas in Shanghai can be a dramatic experience for many expats
and their families. It’s a time when people often find that they
need support in ways they never did before, and it’s also a time when
they may find themselves completely without it.
Even after adjustments have been made, there are still all of the
challenges that may come up as life, well, happens. It can be difficult
to know where to turn during these times, making a free hotline service a vital resource for the international community of Shanghai.
Since the founding of confidential, anonymous helpline LifeLine
Shanghai (LLS) ten years ago, this organization has worked to connect Shanghai expats with help, information and resources when they
need it.
“LifeLine’s mission is to enhance the resilience and well-being
of Shanghai’s international community,” says Coreene Horenko, the
LLS outreach manager. “We strive to provide focused support to our
community each time the phone rings. It’s a resource for everyone:
adults, teenagers and children.”
“LifeLine is a culmination of efforts from many people, the idea
for which began in 2001,” says Debi Yohn, a counseling psychologist in private practice in Shanghai who had an instrumental role in
founding the line. She explains that the organization of the service
was based on the model of the Tokyo English Language Line in Japan.
The idea continued to evolve until the line came into operation in
2004.
Dr. Timothy Foggin, deputy medical director at International SOS,
China, was also a fundamental part of its founding. He describes how
prior to the existence of LifeLine, there was a “huge gap in care, with
family doctors at the time seeing lots of individuals and couples going
through incredibly stressful experiences. Marriages seemed to be falling apart, expat assignments were failing because of relational issues
and people had nowhere to turn.”
LifeLine Shanghai, in addition to the expanded mental health
services in the city, has made it possible for both individuals and families to get connected with psychological support when they need it.
The line is open to receive calls from 10am to 10pm and calls can be
about any kind of topic from crisis support to information resources.
“At the heart of LifeLine Shanghai are our telephone volunteers,”
says Susan Hine, medical attaché for the US Consulate. Hine is another health professional who played a vital part in founding LLS.
“Volunteers are screened carefully and receive thorough and
ongoing training to develop effective listening skills and the ability
Anniversary celebration
This month, LifeLine will host a 10th anniversary celebration to mark
its years of contribution to the international community of Shanghai.
The event will be held at Brotzeit German Bar & Restaurant on

drinks and the prizes at the door. More information is available www.

to identify the appropriate resources for each caller. As required by
LifeLine International, they are bound by a code of conduct and a
code of ethics.”
This makes it possible for callers to feel assured that they will be
able to reliably get what they need when calling the line, whether it’s
a listening ear or a referral to a therapist.
“What LifeLine Shanghai means to me is a sense of community
and connection among the volunteer team,” says Allan McDean, LLS
program manager. “While the community may need us, we often need
each other. Callers are also provided the possibility to discuss any
topic in confidentiality and without judgment.”
Horenko agrees, “LifeLine provides a service to the community
but is also a very rewarding place to volunteer!”

Wellington
Academy
Sports, music and more
By jodi hwang
W
ellington College International Shanghai opened its doors
on August 25 to more than 300 students. Now they’re
reaching out to the greater community with an impressive
lineup of after school and weekend activities at their state of the art
campus.
Wellington’s Academy Program invites students from around
Shanghai to experience world-class coaching and instruction by
highly experienced teachers. Currently, the programs offered include
soccer, basketball, swimming, tennis, basketball, chess, creative writing, debating and public speaking, electronic music production and
mathematics.
To accommodate Wellington’s students, who participate in compulsory after school activities, the weekday evening academy program (for year three and up) runs from 6-7.30pm, while the Saturday
programs (year one and up) are offered from 9am-1pm depending on
the sport or class.
Former England footballer Carlton Palmer is heading up the academy program, bringing his experience setting up successful sporting
academies and running coaching programs in Dubai.
“This is a very exciting development for Wellington,” says Palmer.
“This program is a vital opportunity for the children to develop further their individual talents and interests by providing a series of
sporting, cultural and academic activities, all coached, led and taught
by experts in their chosen fields.”
Under Palmer’s direction, some impressive coaches have joined
the academy program, including ex-Crystal Palace and Bundesliga
player Wayne Butfoy for the soccer program.
Former NCAA basketball player and BSU China coach Joel
Jean-Baptiste, two-time Olympian and FINA swimming coach Alex
Miladinovski and Sean Karam, Australia tennis coach, Davis Cup
coach and former ATP player, round out the sports academy leadership.
The Academy Program began in September, but students can join
at any time. As interest grows, so will the activities on offer. Beginning
in January, additional programs will be offered in music, athletics,
dance and gymnastics.
The charge per session is RMB200 and children can join in at any
time on a pro-rated basis for the ten-week term.

Best days of our lives
Birth of a child better than the Melbourne Cup?
BY Trevor Marshallsea
W
hen you’re a parent, the answer
to the question “Happiest day of
your life?” becomes a no-brainer.
The day my child was born. If you have multiple kids, you’ll put all their Delivery Days,
or D-Days, in a dead tie for first. Or at least
these had better be your answers, or
you’ll get in real trouble from your
wife.
I get enough grief
as it is for not crying at either of my
children’s births. This
wouldn’t have been so
bad, but three months
after the arrival of our
first, a champion racehorse called Makybe
Diva won Australia’s
biggest race, the
Melbourne Cup, for an
unprecedented third time and I was in
floods of tears.
My defense was straightforward. In
the history of the world, lots of babies had
been born. No horse had ever won three
Melbourne Cups. It’s hard enough to win one.
My main feeling at the births of Lani,
now nine, and Evie, seven, was relief.
Nothing had gone wrong.
I was extremely happy. I don’t usually cry
when I’m happy, unlike my wife watching all
those romance movies where – as predictable as winning three Melbourne Cups is improbable – the ending usually arrives with a
man and a woman agreeing that they should
enter into a relationship.
But while the D-Days are special, it’s not
long before they’re relegated to second spot
at the top of your list. This is when you first
experience an almost spiritual joy you never
thought you would feel. I speak, of course,
of the day school resumes after summer
holidays.
The D-Days then drop one further place
each year for the next 12, until the kids leave
home at an appropriate time, which I currently see as being two to three hours after
they turn 18.
The resumption of school in Expatland
is different. Friends in Australia assumed
we’d been out buying the new books,
pencil cases, uniforms, etc. Like a lot of
expats, it was none of the above. Our
international school kids don’t need
uniforms or exercise books. The pencil is
almost a museum piece.
They use laptops, they learn via the
internet and, as if their handwriting wasn’t
bad enough, this year their desktops – and
86
I mean the tops of their desks – have been
turned into whiteboards. They write (well,
scrawl) on them with big felt markers.
Mind you, for the fees paid at international schools, you should expect the best. In
fact, not to sound too colonial about it, but
the kids really should each have some sort of
manservant to tap the laptop keys for them.
The new year often brings new friends.
Expat kids tend to change friends like socks.
That’s because little friends, like mobsters,
leave the country on a regular basis. I’ve
never seen a seven-year-old turn to another
You experience an
almost spiritual joy.
I speak, of course,
of the day school
resumes after
summer holidays
and sing that old song ‘Baby, Baby Don’t Get
Hooked On Me,’ but perhaps they should.
In general, it’s funny what kids view as
important. And given their transient nature,
expat kids perhaps have more reason not to
bother with the getting-to-know-you niceties.
Ours think it’s hilarious how we adults
interact. Their impersonations of our dinner
parties consist of standing around repeating
“Hi, how you going?” and “Let’s drink coffee!”
No seven-year-old has ever asked another how they are going. Conversations are
more likely to start with the blurting out of
“I’VE GOT A BAND-AID!” or “THERE’S A NEW
DRAGON APP!”
Evie told me she had a new best friend.
When I asked something as adult-basic as
where she was from, Evie had to think
long and hard. Finally she said India.
My mind was full of exotic ideas,
of magnificent dinner parties and
conversations with the parents about Ghandi and
cricket.
Then I met the friend. She had blonde
hair and blue eyes, and sounded more from
Manchester than Mumbai. It turned out she
had lived in India for a time.
Still, it’s nice that kids couldn’t care less
where their friends are from. It doesn’t yet
enter their heads whether their friends are,
say, from a pub culture, from a place whose
sense of humor matches theirs, or from
a place where people go to the beach at
6.00am to reserve their sun lounge.
These things aren’t important to kids.
What’s important are Furbies, and how to
get them. Our kids were flatly denied by their
parents. We saw Furbies as an annoying,
talking, furry toy that required an appropriate iPad app for optimal use.
This was a mere speed bump for our
seven-year-old. Evie was taken shopping for
Lani’s birthday present, not by us, but by her
aunt. And guess what she convinced the aunt
to buy?
We now have a Furby in our house that’s
not only capable of speech but, judging by
the creepy way it bursts to life at any given
moment, is probably also capable of murdering us in our sleep.
I’ll bet the plot to acquire it was
hatched in
the school
playground,
perhaps with a
friend who was or
was not Indian. The
child’s mind is truly an
intriguing place. I love
studying it at close range.
Then I also love when
it goes back to school.

in the 1990s and returned a decade later, this time around he

Third Culture Kids
Children adjusting to new environments
W
By Peshali Fernando
ith increased globalization and
work opportunities overseas,
more and more families are moving abroad with their children. Third culture
kids is a term used to identify children who
are raised in a culture outside of their parents’ culture for a significant part of their
developmental years. Research shows that
TCKs can make successful transitions, feel at
home anywhere, and have a strong sense of
belonging to new environments. However,
TCKs can also experience stressful situations
and adjustment problems related to moving,
along with normal developmental stresses.
Positive aspects of being a TCK:
• Opportunities to mix with children and
families of diverse backgrounds
• Ability to become bilingual or multilingual
• Travel and experiencing other cultures
• Opportunities to learn to handle change
• Better acceptance of diversity
• The chance to develop adaptation skills by
accepting new challenges
What causes adjustment problems?
• Normal development issues
• N
ew environmental factors, including new
cities and new cultural expectations – feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to
navigate new environments
• Non-welcoming attitudes from peers
• Parents’ outlook on moving to new locations and how parents navigate challenges
brought by moving
• Loss of family and friends
• Unfavorable comparison of two environments
Key tips:
• Consider the moving a positive step
• Parents can take initiative to get to know
families in their neighborhoods and other
social settings – these are good meeting
places if you have young children
• Encourage children to join sports teams,
attend social activities organized by
schools, and explore new friendships
• Use Skype and social media to stay connected to loved ones
• Use websites and blogs to exchange ideas/
learn about life in new environments
• P
lay, laugh, and eat meals together as a
family as much as possible. This gives
children a secure feeling about being in a
new place and helps increase their selfconfidence
• Involve children, communicate with them
about settling in, encourage them to voice
their own ideas, and set new house rules
together. If you have older children, set
expectations for “freedom” by agreeing on
boundaries/rules
• If you and your partner/spouse are experiencing adjustment issues, avoid discussing
them when children are present
Parents need to be vigilant about behavior
changes in their children and seek support in
a timely manner if issues arise. Mental health
professionals are trained to assist by offering
tools and providing psychological support to
cope with stressful situations.

DJ Ravin
Buddha Bar is a Parisian institution, known for its loungey electronic beats.
As one of the club’s resident spinners, DJ Ravin has spread the love around
with his chill take on world music beats.
Could you foresee Buddha Bar’s success?
Yes, because the concept was brand new. It had a unique atmosphere with
candles and a huge Buddha inside – a place with a lot of soul. At the time,
people were becoming more attracted to Buddhism, so it was the perfect
time. That, with the music made it successful. I was travelling a lot and people would always ask me about the music there. It really became an institution because of the quality and uniqueness. People were coming to France
to visit the Eiffel Tower and Buddha Bar.
How did the sound develop?
The owners liked chill music, but because the atmosphere was really ethnic,
we started to produce and compile world music in our style. The music really brings out a lot of emotions, especially romantic ones. People were really amazed by it because they hadn’t heard it before.
What music are you digging these days?
I’m listening a lot to the German scene because they’re very focused on
deep and tech house. They do really slow house grooves and it’s a fresh
sound, as I’m getting a little bored with this EDM commercial stuff. I’m also
following a lot of labels in Greece, Copenhagen and Denmark.
What can people expect from your set?
I honestly don’t know. It’s all improvised. I will arrive at Salmos Lounge,
check out the place and feel what the crowd needs. I think Shanghai’s more
into deep house, something mellow with soulful vocals, but it depends on
the crowd. Whenever I play, I just go into the DJ booth, put on my headphones and start to play.

Language and Culture Training Center
Panda Education and Training teaches Mandarin in a well-structured yet flexible way.
Their friendly teachers are easy to talk to take the time to get to know you in order
to plan a personalized and tailored learning experience. Lessons make you feel more
like you’rechatting with a friend than sitting in a boring class, which makes you feel
comfortable asking for them to slow down the pace if needed and to ask any questions
that you need to.
Panda will build up your linguistic skills from the bottom up. You’ll learn at your
own pace, but you’ll pick things up more quickly than you’d expect. Before you know it
you’ll be constructing lengthy sentences and understanding characters. Chinese characters can often be daunting, and Panda are happy for you to skip them if you want,
but they do make learning characters interesting and enjoyable, giving you fun ways to
remember them.
Once you get to a more advance level, and you feel you’re confident enough,
you’ll start off lessons simply chatting with your teacher in Mandarin, which is perfect
for building up your skills in every day conversation. Panda offer a fun, flexible and
comprehensive learning experience. After a few lessons you won’t just know how to
say typical tourist book phrases, you’ll actually understand Mandarin.

A Beijing treasure trove
Offering not only Chinese antiques but also a variety of foreign and local styles, you
will find everything you need for sprucing up your interiors at Lily’s Antiques.
First started in Beijing in 1998, this furniture venture has recently opened a
Shanghai flagship store in Pudong, a 700 square meter space where East meets West,
and the traditional meets modern.
A treasure trove of all-things furniture, the shop is filled with cabinets, tables,
rugs, textiles, upholstered furniture and decorating accessories. Weaving modern
aesthetics and Chinese traditional elements, as well as a selection of both local and
international designers, even the most persnickety of interior decorators will find
something to suit their taste.
The range on offer is truly varied. Chinese items are of course well-stocked, but
European and Middle Eastern products – an Italian couch, a Turkish rug or French
hand-drawn chinaware - are available too.
Such eclectic assortment reflects what owner and director Lily Quan calls a ‘mix &
match’ philosophy behind the store. “Our mission is to create a comfortable but also
meaningful living space that can bring out individuality through the integration of
art and life,” she says, “and we do that by combining different elements and concepts
together.”
Lily’s Factory is another branch of the Lily’s Antiques tree that’s been doing incredibly well. Employing traditional handcraft artisans and highly skilled workers, the venture is one of the few in China to have obtained the FSC label for its use of eco-friendly
wood.
Much of the company’s success ought also to be attributed to the international team of designers and artists it works with, from chief designer & VM Glenn
Schuitman, a long-term China resident and design expert from New Zealand, to Liza M
of Belita jewelry, and Chinese born American artist Wang Jian.
Combined with excellent taste, high quality and impeccable craftsmanship, this
eclectic mix makes Lily’s Antiques a seriously premium furniture dealer in China.

(RMB78), an autumnal nod towards what can be expected of this season’s menu. Try
this and you’ll be pleasantly surprised; adding a touch of luxury to this smoky tomato
flavor is a portion of caviar atop a vodka meringue, and a fiery kick of Tabasco. We balanced this tasty dish nicely with a crisp and refreshing white wine.
Next up was pumpkin ravioli (RMB68), little parcels of the smoothest fresh filling
encased in homemade, stripy pasta. Homemade food is also showcased by the selection of flatbreads, ours with bacon and mushroom, upon a layer of tangy onion jam
(RMB78), which was satisfyingly substantial. There is a hint of an aged cheese amongst
the flavors and the presence of a perfectly poached egg rounded it off well. Rich and
earthy flavors combine to elevate what could be rather standard. For dessert, we tried
handmade pumpkin gelato (three scoops RMB38); a hint of which is present in the
smooth and creamy texture.
Chef Chris Hora hopes every night feels like he is hosting a dinner party, and
as ‘Dream a Little Dream’ plays while Roman Holiday is projected onto a small space
below the stairs, we can see an evening at the Cool Docks has the potential to be just
that. EF

Paulaner’s Oktoberfest
Three week's worth of drinking events
for 2014 festivities!
That beer-infused time is upon us once again! The guys at Paulaner Brauhaus have
been making preparations for up to three weeks of trinken and tanzen (that’s drinking
and dancing, to you and I) with the festivities taking place in three locations across the
city. Claimed as the world’s biggest folk festival, it seems only fitting that Shanghai’s
Bavarian ambassadors continue to stay at the helm of the iconic celebrations.
Merriments will begin at Paulaner Xintiandi from September 30th until October
3rd, followed by Paulaner Expo on the weekend of October 4th-5th. The major event
will be at Paulaner’s flagship location at Fenyang Road from October 16th-25th, 2014.
One of only six groups in the world able to sell the official, exclusively brewed
Oktoberfest beer, there’ll be micro-brewed samples of the stuff aplenty. And if beer
isn’t the drink you were raised on, you can pop out to the schnapps tent away from the
raucous crowd. Be sure to try some culinary specialties (schmankerl, anyone?) while
you’re there too.
Then stand (or most likely stagger) to watch ‘Die Kirchdorfer,’ a nine-piece band
flown in from Munich’s biggest Oktoberfest beer tent. So lace up your lederhosen and
get your Stein glasses set for a truly Bavarian time. EF

To understand Minyuan 33’s history, we
must go back to the days when Tianjin
was a bustling port city situated at a
nexus of important mairtime and rail
trade routes. Strict restrictions on
European trade began to ease after
China suffered military setbacks, and
in the last century of the Qing Dynasty
(1644-1911), zones were approved for
foreign trade.

WALKS THE WALK
shanghai derby day
Why local rivalries make football what it is
BY IAN WALKER
I
n a country lacking intercity derbies, last
month saw the biggest one in my three
years here. My former club Shanghai
Shenhua have always been seen as the big
boys, but with my new club Dongya pushing
for an Asian Champions League spot, we’re
now the top dogs in town. While we needed
the three points to push for that ACL place,
Shenhua have had their noses put out of joint,
and this game gave them the chance to restore
some pride.
Local rivalries are brilliant for football.
When I was playing for Tottenham back in
England, Spurs vs. Arsenal was the first thing
the fans looked for when the fixture list was released. It meant so much to them to the extent
that they would ‘let you off’ if you finished 15th
in the league if you beat Arsenal twice. That
was the feeling: “Just beat Arsenal, just beat
Arsenal.”
I didn’t actually play in first big one I was
a part of; I’d just made the Spurs squad at 19
years old and was on the bench. It was the semi
final of the FA Cup in 1991, and the first one
to be played at Wembley. Absolutely massive.
Ridiculously huge. Winner makes the FA Cup
Final. Driving through hordes of fans on the bus
journey to the game only whet the appetite.
We won 3-1, with Gazza scoring one of
the best free kicks Wembley has ever seen and
master poacher Gary Lineker bagging a brace.
Going back on the bus after, you could see our
fans were ecstatic. And you could also see the
Arsenal fans were on the floor. I realized then
what a derby was, what is on the line, what it
meant.
You could sense the tension building in
the lead up to the Shanghai game. Everybody
was talking about it. The fans began winding
each other up. There were posts put out online
by Shenhua, with their Colombian Captain

Obviously nobody
wants to see people
fighting, but it does
show the passion of
both sets of fans. That
the rivalry is real...

feeling top dogs, giving it back to Shenhua fans.
Shenhua fans not liking that…
Word also reached us that there were a few
scuffles outside the stadium. It was surprising; you don’t normally see crowd violence at
Chinese games. Obviously nobody wants to see
people fighting, but it does show the passion of
both sets of fans. That the rivalry is real and has
built up, even from last year.
When Spurs used to play Arsenal, you’d see
fighting at the Metro stops from the bus to and
from the ground. It is a strange thing as a footballer; you realize they are fanatical about their
football club. It is their life. I wish they would
be able to control that, but some people can’t.
And as we see, it doesn’t just go on in England,
it goes on everywhere.
Once we got in the stadium I think a lot of
Shenhua fans were surprised we had brought
so many supporters. And they were very vocal.
Cameron Wilson of Wild East Football told me
that the leader for our fan’s group, Bat Rider
East Asia, is a former Shenhua Blue Devil, so
that may have added to the spice. Either way,
there was a big turnout and one of the best atmospheres in my time here.
Knowing how it feels to play in a derby
– you’re pumped because you know it is an
important game – as a coach, if anything, I try
and keep them a bit more level than I was: relax,
enjoy the atmosphere, play your normal game.
Otherwise you can get carried away. And as
goalkeeper, especially, you have to keep your
lid on it.
The match ended 1-1, but was a cracker
considering the players were under so much
pressure. There was a lot of action and the
tackles were flying in. I think everybody gave it
everything they could. A really good derby and
a great advert for the Chinese game.
People talk about Wu Lei, the penalty miss
and the chance near the end he’d normally bury.
It happens. He started the season off on fire –
three goals in three games – then got an injury
setback. Once he was back he was back, though
– scoring a lot of important goals for us, as well
as turning provider. As a young guy he’ll learn
from the derby disappointment. He bounced
back a week later, scoring for the Chinese national team.
When I was at Shanghai Shenhua, Beijing
Guo’an was the biggest game of the season.
Now that I am at Dongya, it is Shenhua. I think
that shows what is coming. Hopefully that rivalry will grow and grow and the game will be
the first thing Shanghai fans look for when the
fixture list is released.
Because I used to love a big local derby,
whether it was the pressure or just the
thought of winning it. I enjoyed the buildup.
I enjoyed the games. And when you win it,
you’re a god until the next match comes
around.

Walker played for Tottenham Hotspur, Leicester City
and Bolton Wanderers. He is now goalkeeper coach
of Shanghai East Asia.
