Editor's Note
May
South China isn’t exactly associated with posh extravagance or haughty tuhao. One of the
things we love about the region, in fact, is its down-to-earth, cool charisma (supermarket
in sweats? Go for it). When it comes to splurging on homes, however, the PRD’s wealthiest
residents can’t seem to refrain from gobbling up newly developed land along the coast of
Shenzhen Bay or beside pristine lakes in Huadu. Towering over the last remaining scenic
views in the area, these pricey abodes have turned Mother Earth into a selling point, and
an expensive one at that.
So what lies inside these mysterious RMB280 million cribs and where are they hiding?
This month’s cover story led us into the living rooms of some of the swankiest residences
in the region, where we explored the lavish suites and ornate furnishings of China’s 1
percent.
Wandering through spotless corridors brimming with one-of-a-kind, custom-made
fixtures inspired us to tackle the topic of furniture design in Guangdong – the country’s
largest furniture export base – and chat with leading brands in the industry. With their
insight, we were also able to compile the top design shops and secondhand markets in the
PRD that offer everything from antique goods to retro, recycled pieces. Turn to p38 for the
full story.
Elsewhere in the magazine, Tristin Zhang recounts a fascinating afternoon spent with
a blind band for our monthly Man on the Street feature. Performing in Dongshankou every
weekend for the past 10 years, this group of musicians is one of the few devoted to the
fading genre of Cantonese folk (p14).
In life and style, we’re all set for spring with fashion tips on p20 and a feature on
China’s growing obsession with juicing, detoxing and cleansing. The billion-dollar industry
is still going strong, but is juicing really as healthy as many assume? Find out on p18.
Our arts section is bursting at the seams this month with the annual Festival
Croisements back in town to introduce a stellar lineup of French performances and
exhibitions, including much-anticipated photography show Father and Son by Grégoire
Korganow and performances by Last Train and Nach (p32). Also in the section, artist
Bronwen Shelwell provides an in-depth account of the arts scene in Shenzhen and the
extent to which it truly reflects the sentiments of local artists (p28).
Finally, in our food and drink section, be sure to check out the latest openings around
town (p58) and our mouth-watering spread on sandwiches (p60).
Enjoy the season!

Thomas (Chinese name: Afu), a German expat,
first caught netizens’ attention with a video
depicting married life in China from a foreigner’s perspective. Speaking in immaculate
Mandarin with an authentic Shanghai drawl,
he filmed himself doing impressions of his inlaws and wife, covering many stereotypes but
also minute character traits to near perfection. He further struck a chord with residents
of Shanghai and China at large with his followup video, depicting the many odd, zany or
downright unsavory characters you meet on
the metro, with another batch of uncannily accurate impressions. What will he tackle next?

quickly escalated into several vehicles being overturned, and some civilian injuries,
before police intervention stopped the bulldozers in their tracks. The heavy metal

The Kung Fu Stars of Xiguan Orthopedics
BY JocELYn rIchardS
L
i Zhujiang strikes a pose,
legs flexed in typical kung fu
fashion, arms at the ready.
A wounded man sits before
him, eyes diverted away as if bracing
for the first blow. To most onlookers,
the scene resembles the final battle in
martial arts saga Yip Man – not a doctor about to treat his patient.
Propelling his strength forward
using focused core and leg muscles,
Li proceeds to massage the man’s
broken limb, applying an orange ointment with steady pressure. The herbal medicine’s cooling menthol seeps
into the skin, easing excess tension.
So begins the first phase of
Xiguan zhenggu, or Xiguan orthopedics – a medical procedure born over
300 years ago in Guangdong. Now a
provincial intangible cultural heritage,
the tradition has been passed down
for generations, originating with
some of the fiercest martial arts stars
in the region.
Legendary hero Wong Fei-hung
of Foshan (or ‘Master Wong’ as he’s
known among fans) studied traditional Chinese medicine at Po Chi Lam, a
clinic in Guangzhou, in the late 1800s.
The sole inspiration behind nearly 20
modern martial arts films and television series in China – including Jackie
Chan’s Drunken Master – Wong was
one of the first athletes of his kind to
study Xiguan orthopedics.
“Kung fu artists encountered this
practice after they became injured,” explains Li, sitting in his part-office, partmuseum in Tanwei, Liwan District.
“Most were already familiar with
human anatomy after studying martial arts and possessed the necessary
strength and agility to treat patients, so
it made sense that they could transition
into this basic medical practice.”
Xiguan orthopedics is guided by
four central ideas: treatments must be
ethical, natural, noninvasive and individualized. And as with all traditional
Chinese medicine, healing methods
should strive to restore balance in the
body without relying on synthetic materials or excess support – Western medicine or complex operations, in other
words, are out of the question.
“There’s no such thing as ‘the best’
much easier.
As we watch Li at work, coolly crafting the cast with
smooth, rehearsed motions, it’s clear he’s been in the trade
a while.
“About 40 years,” he tells us, eyes bright. “But I stumbled
upon the career by accident.”
As a young boy, Li loved to listen to the stories of his
best friend’s father, who told of wild escapades across China
at a time when most couldn’t afford to travel. Every day, Li
would wander over to his companion’s house to relive the
adventures of He Zhulin – one of China’s most renowned
Xiguan orthopedists and the founder of the Guangzhou
University of Chinese Medicine.
Eventually, Li’s interest in story time turned into a
shared passion for martial arts, which He Zhulin instructed
him in daily. Before long, he was also learning the ins and
outs of human skeletal anatomy and practicing basic orthopedics.
“Usually [the art] was passed down from father to son,
but I was an exception,” Li grins, clearly proud of his good
luck.
Today, two of He Zhulin’s sons have set up Xiguan orthopedics clinics abroad in California, where they primarily
treat overseas Chinese. As for Li’s only daughter, she opted
against continuing her father’s trade, but is studying medicine in Guangzhou, which pleases him greatly.
In the past 40 years, Li has instructed no less
than 50 students in Xiguan zhenggu and treated
thousands of patients across the city, ensuring
the tradition – unlike many fading cultural heritages in Guangdong – will continue for decades
to come.
treatment, only the most suitable,” explains
Li, quoting previous masters. “The most
suitable is ultimately the best.”
Approaches may vary by injury or individual,
but one aspect of Xiguan zhenggu remains the same:
all practitioners use the bark of Chinese fir trees to create a
brace for broken bones.
Seeing our bewildered expression upon mention of the
tree, Li quickly transitions into an explanation: “The bark of a
Chinese fir tree is firm enough to keep the bone in place but is
also breathable, which makes it more comfortable than a plaster cast… but the main reason is because it’s easier to cut than
wood.”
Li smiles and asks if we’d like a demonstration, as if that was
ever in question.
Using a pair of general scissors, he begins to snip away at a
chunk of bark, shaping it into four neat strips. He lines each with
white gauze, tying them tightly. After applying medicinal cream
to the patient’s arm, Li positions the four strips of bark on the
top, bottom, left and right of the broken extremity. More gauze is
then wrapped around the exterior to secure the brace and hold
each section together.
Once set, the waterproof brace is usually worn for six to
eight weeks, after which a bone will have healed well enough to
support light use. Li jokes that some calculate healing time by
age – one day of rest for every year of life. In that case, a 10-yearold could recover in as few as 10 days, and an 80-year-old in 11
weeks.
The recovery timeline is similar to Western standards, but
one key difference is that a patient is still allowed – and physically able – to use his or her injured arm during the remedial
period. Whereas a restrictive plaster cast in the West usually extends to include one’s entire palm, the Xiguan zhenggu method
frees one’s hand and fingers, making tasks like typing or writing

Band oF ThE BLInd
The Regular Rockers of Dongshankou
BY TrISTIn Zhang
T
raditional Cantonese folk music is
a drop in the bucket compared to
China’s vast musical repertoire. Yet
the genre has entertained locals in
the south for generations, especially following its popularization in the late 1920s.
Employing a hodgepodge of string
instruments like the gaohu (high-pitched
erhu), yueqin (a two-stringed instrument
resembling a lyre), bamboo flute and sanxian (‘three-stringed instrument’), Cantonese
folk used to accompany Yueju, or Cantonese
opera, on stage before it earned recognition
as its own musical category.
Today, the art form finds adoration
among older residents in Guangdong. Every
weekend, a group of seniors – most of whom
are blind – come together in the quaint quarters of Dongshankou to carry on the musical
legacy.
Strolling down from the metro station
towards the stately brick mansions of old
Dongshan, one can hear the music trilling
lightly on the wind. A plastic bucket is placed
on a stool before the band, where passersby
offer up occasional alms.
“Cantonese folk music will die with
our generation,” bemoans Zhu Zhang’e, the
spokesperson for the crew.
Zhu, who has been visually impaired
since age 13, founded the band together with
her husband back in 1993.
“We are good friends who share a common interest,” she explains. “We do this to
entertain ourselves and make a little extra
money, because we receive little support
from the government.”
Zhu, who has a son and daughter to care
for, is allotted RMB500 per year from public
funds.
On the day we visit, a younger, enthusiastic musician sits among the band, cooperating surprisingly well with the more senior
members. According to Zhu, the boy’s
grandmother and aunt, who plays professionally, introduced him to Cantonese songs
early on.
“His brain was injured by a serious fever
years ago,” Zhu continues. “But these melodies remain etched in his mind.”
Zhu goes on to tell us most of the members in the band were born blind and learned
how to sing and play Cantonese folk music in
special education classes.
As the sun approaches its zenith, we find
a seat nearby, listening to the group take
turns singing. A passing woman spots the
band and drops a 10-kuai bill into the bucket, smiling shyly when the boy spouts out a
loud ‘thank you’ in his native tongue.
Zhu says she and her friends used to
play in multiple locations, such as Donghu
Park and Haizhu Square. But as members
passed away, Zhu, a resident of old Dongshan
District (now part of Yuexiu), and her band
mates decided to perform close by, making
Dongshankou their only stage.
Every Saturday morning around 9am,
the spirited group assembles to play for
three hours, breaking for lunch around
noon. After a leisurely meal, they reconvene
and jam for another two hours before calling it a day.
The afternoon unwinds with each passing song, and we notice a middle-aged couple
sitting beside a nearby tree, lost in a vivid
conversation on Canton’s greatest musicians.
A few paces away, scores of elderly onlookers
mull over a thrilling chess game.
Though Cantonese folk music may one
day fade completely from people’s lives, it
continues to bring joy to this special group,
drowning out the adversities of life to usher
in peace of mind.

I Want to Suck Your Blood
This month, I’ve chosen a slightly freak-show
topic for your reading pleasure: therapeutic
bloodletting in Chinese medicine. Warning! If
you are squeamish about blood, then maybe
you should look away.
The use of bleeding as a medical treatment
predates acupuncture, making it much older
than dirt. Back then medical thought was still
heavily influenced by superstition and belief in
evil spirits, so bloodletting was likely used to
treat disease by expelling evil spirits from the
body. Acupuncture, along with herbal medicine,
took over as the main medical intervention
about 2,200 years ago, and bleeding of patients
became less common. Despite its decline in
popularity, modern acupuncturists – myself included – still use some bleeding techniques.
In modern practice, bloodletting has two
therapeutic uses: it clears excess heat from the
blood and breaks up blood stagnation. Heat in
the blood can cause a wide variety of health
problems, but red skin rashes like eczema and
fever with sore throat are the main ones I have
found bleeding to be effective in treating.
Blood stagnation causes pain in a fixed
location that is sharp in nature and often accompanied by palpable lumps or bumps in the
tissue. Bleeding can help relieve the pressure
and reduce pain. Painful ‘knots’ in muscles fit
into this category as do some types of lower
back and joint pain and sprain injuries. I don’t
bleed all of these cases, but sometimes it is
warranted. In treating blood stagnation, I’ve
had good results from bleeding sprained ankles and severe lower back pain.
The mention of bloodletting often con-
Fitness
The Supplement Boost
You’ve probably heard that supplements can
be beneficial to working out – I use them myself and recommend them to my clients – but
with thousands of options out there, which
ones do you choose?
It’s important to remember supplementation is not a miracle fix; it is merely an assistant
to healthy living. The following three products
can be incorporated into your health regimen
of regular exercise and a clean, balanced diet.
1. Multivitamins
In today’s world, pollution – especially
here in China – is worse than ever; our jobs
are more stressful and produce (even organic) is of lower quality, as fruits and vegetables are grown in soils that aren’t as rich in
nutrients as they once were. A multivitamin
can act as a safety net to pick up the slack
when our bodies haven’t absorbed enough
micro- and macronutrients.
2. Fish Oil
Healthy fats are crucial to our bodies
1 6 | m ay 2 0 1 6 | G Z | w w w.t h at s m a g s . c o m
and fish oil provides much-needed omega-3
fatty acids. Essential fats protect vital organs and help to maintain an adequate body
temperature. They also help with delivery
and absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Oily
fish are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which
enhance the regulation of our food intake,
help control hunger and promote a healthy
body weight.
3. Protein Powder
Since protein can’t be stored in the
body like carbohydrates, it is optimal to
take in regular amounts throughout the day.
jures up gruesome, horror-film-type imagery.
The reality is actually quite clinical. In Chinese
medicine there are three methods. The first
is to use a lancet to prick the skin and then
squeeze to encourage five to 10 drops of
blood to come out. The second is to prick the
skin as above and then use cupping over the
puncture to draw out 10 to 50 milliliters of
blood by suction. The final method is to use a
syringe to draw blood directly from a vein. I
use methods one and two in my clinic.
When done properly, bleeding is neither
painful nor dangerous. The bleeding process
itself is only as uncomfortable as a skin prick,
and adding cupping can feel weird but is not
painful. The only common side effect from
bleeding is bruising, making it quite safe.
Bleeding is one of those treatments that I
was skeptical of during my training, but that
I have found to be useful in my practice. I do,
however, reserve it for a few specific conditions
that I have seen it work well for. This means
that I use bleeding on less than 1 percent of my
patients. For those people it often produces an
obvious improvement in their condition.

Consuming high-quality protein every time
you eat or between meals, however, is challenging. That’s where protein powders come
in.
Protein helps to ‘fire up’ the metabolism,
keeps you satiated, and preserves and repairs
lean body mass. Don’t be scared by the false
fact that protein makes you gain weight. This
is absolutely not true! There is a substantial
amount of evidence showing the benefits of
whey protein for exercise recovery, weight
management and immune function.
My go-to is whey protein, but casein,
hemp, rice, pea and egg white are all great
dietary sources.
I recommend keeping these three supplements on hand and making them part of
your daily intake. Be careful when buying
online; fakes are rampant and can creep into
your cupboard if you’re not diligent. Do your
research and as always, be very picky about
what you put in your body!

Fenghuang Shan Forest Park
Shenzhen is a city’s city. With its tall skyscrapers and the never-ending rush, late
dinners, working weekends and the pellmell pace at which the city is expanding,
many have accused it of being too urban. The
young metropolis has also been blamed for
lacking its own history or culture and, effectively, no meaningful place to visit when
your family flies in for a long weekend.
Well, it’s time for a rebuttal. China’s
Silicon Valley is proud to present Fenghuang
Shan, or Mount Phoenix – a breathtaking
scenic spot and the home of timeworn relics.
Though notorious for its brief resume as a
major urban center, Shenzhen’s natural landscape has, obviously, been around for millennia. Making one’s way up the grand staircases
of Fenghuang Shan, an ancient shrine creeps
into view. Known as Fengyan Temple, the rustic architectural feat dates back nearly 1,000
years to the early Yuan dynasty.
According to locals residing at the foot
of the mountain, visitors still journey to the
site to make wishes, as legend has it that
hundreds of years ago, Fenghuang Shan was
home to a majestic phoenix.
At the end of the Song dynasty, a man
named Wen Yinglin erected a tower on
the mountain after fleeing the fierce wars
between Han and Mongol China. Standing
hundreds of meters above sea level, Wen was
able to observe neighboring villages, which he
promised to protect from the throes of battle.
One day, Wen had a dream in which a
goddess came to him and told him to build a
temple on the mountain – a temple worthy
of a phoenix. And so he did. The sanctuary
was rebuilt in 1983 and is now a sight to behold, with a fair share of rumors and excited
whispers amassing at its base.
No phoenix sightings have yet been reported, but judging by the number of visitors
on the weekends, there are still
plenty who believe.
At 678 meters, Fenghuang
Shan won’t take you too much
time to conquer. Unlike most
peaks in China, ascending to the
summit is less about burning
calories and more about relishing picnics at sunset or wandering in forests of ancient legend.
Others venture to the
mountain to snap photos of
the interesting rock formations
adorning either side of the path.
Lions and lotuses are among
the sculpted stones that fill Instagram accounts after a sunny afternoon stroll.
Fenghuang Shan is not as easy to get to
as Nanshan Mountain and lacks the overall
prestige of Wutong. Yet there’s something almost mystical about the way its wild grasses
ripple effortlessly in the wind at daybreak,
like the mighty wings of a phoenix fluttering
in flight. ZY
How to get there
The mountain is quite far away from
the city center – past Shenzhen Bao’an
Airport. If you’re heading there by public
transportation, take bus 650, 782, M335
or B711. The total journey takes around
two hours.

China’s Clean-Eating Industry
Is Big Business, but Is It Healthy?
BY marIanna cErInI
A
t 9am on a rainy Wednesday
in Shanghai, a delivery guy
carrying a small bag squeezes
past white-collar workers in a
crammed elevator of a Xintiandi office
building and emerges into the lobby of
a local ad agency. In the bag is a cleanse
set – six bottles of cold-pressed juices to
be sipped as food substitutes for a day.
They are for Guo Ling, a 24-year-old ad
executive who has been “really getting
into cleanses recently.”
“I do it with colleagues sometimes,
as it’s easier that way,” she says. “But we
like different combinations and so order
from different places. There are a lot of
options to choose from.”
She’s right: China’s first- and secondtier cities have seen juice-cleanse companies sprouting up at head-spinning rates
over the last few years. And it doesn’t
stop at cold-pressed kale and almond
milk with chia seeds. In Shanghai alone,
a quick online search shows hundreds
of ‘wellbeing’ ventures offering anything
from healthy meals delivered to your
door to juices, infusions, coconut water
and sugar-free cookies.
“It’s a booming industry, and it has
all happened in the span of three years,”
says Tian Tian Mayimin, co-founder and
CEO of V Cleanse, one of China’s first
cleanse companies. “We were among
the first to start delivering cold-pressed
juices. Now, it’s as competitive as the
American market, if not more.”
Ostentatiously ascetic good health
has been a major fashion trend in the
West for quite some time (in 2012,
market research firm Euromonitor
International dubbed the wellness sector “the next trillion-dollar industry”).
But China is following fast – and moving
ahead of the pack.
According to a survey published by
Boston Group Consulting in 2014, the
country is currently the world’s most
health-conscious market. Spending on
health and wellness has grown exponentially over the last decade, and is
expected to reach nearly USD70 billion a
year by 2020.
Juicing, detoxing and cleansing have
all entered Chinese society as expressions of healthy living; natural – and
quick – remedies for a virtuous life in a
china’s juice
industry is as
competitive as
the american
market, if not
more
country where food scandals and poor
safety standards are still too often the
norm. Organic food has undergone a
similar assimilation too. In Beijing and
Shanghai, a rising number of food ventures – from cafes like Hunter Gatherer in
Shanghai to fine dining restaurants like
Beijing’s Okra 1949 – have made ‘locally
sourced’ the core philosophy of their
businesses. Doing so taps into the notion
that the best way is the natural way – an
ideal shared by 57 percent of Chinese
consumers, according to market research
company Mintel.
But healthy eating (or drinking) has
also become a status symbol. It’s a nod
to celebrity culture – Angelababy does
it – but also a new mode of conspicuous
consumption, particularly among its
main fans: women born in the 80s and
90s. Shelling out thousands of kuai on
nicely packaged, hip-looking cleansing
sets says ‘I am sophisticated and care
about my image.’ It’s an aspirational
lifestyle that is ultimately tied to the
pursuit of slimness (though you don’t
even have to admit you’re trying to lose
weight).
“I love the way juicing makes me
feel,” says Guo Ling. “I’ve been doing it for
the last couple of months – on and off, of
course – and it’s just amazing. My skin is
better, I feel more energized. I’ve lost a
few pounds, which was on my to-do list
for 2016. Yes, I do get pangs of hunger
around dinner time, but I’ve been told it’s
only a matter of time before I get used
to it.”
Guo decided to jump on the cleansing
bandwagon after a period of poor health.
“I was sick and tired of being sick and
tired,” she laughs, “and I saw this post on
WeChat about cold-pressed juices and
their restorative effects. So I made an
order for a five-day cleanse. Now I am
hooked.”
For Ivy Tsui, a 27-year-old fitness
fanatic who I meet at a local gym, juicing
is a matter of convenience. “I am pretty
busy and often don’t have time to sit
down and eat a salad,” she says. “Juices
are the perfect substitute, and stop me
from eating crap food. They have all the
nutrients you need packed in one single
bottle. How good is that?” [Disclaimer:
cold-pressed juices do not have all the
LIFE & S T Y LE | Fe at ure
nutrients we need. Our bodies need
carbohydrates, protein and fat on top of
vitamins to function properly.]
At a networking event where everyone else is eating canapes and drinking champagne, I spot another woman
sipping a green concoction. She admits
that she is on a cleanse to shed some
weight.
“My mum never hesitates to tell me I
look a little chubby, and I got tired of it,”
she says. “I have done other diets in the
past, but this feels kind of healthier, and I
don’t feel as bad about eating some fatty
stuff at the weekend after I have been on
green juices for the entire week.”
Fleetingly, she casts a wishful look
at the canapes. “I have been ordering
the sets for the last 10 days. I eat a light
breakfast then drink them for lunch and
dinner... It’s not easy to attend a social
event, but I really want to drop a size.”
Mayimin says many Chinese people
– millennials above all – are taking their
health into their own hands. “They want
high-quality products to ‘cure’ their ailments and power them through their day,
while feeling good about it. Juice cleanses
cover all of that.”
Love it or loathe it, it looks like the
market agrees with her. Since launching
in 2013, V Cleanse went from catering
to expats to a clientele that’s 90 percent
Chinese. The range has also expanded
to include warm cleanses – hot infusions and soups specifically designed for
Chinese customers’ preference for warm
drinks. And in an effort to spread awareness about healthy eating, it started
holding lifestyle and food workshops
that “are always incredibly popular,”
Mayimin says.
But better health isn’t the only side
of this lifestyle trend. While the modern-
Being
obsessive
about healthy
eating isn’t
actually all
that healthy
day concoctions promise greater energy,
balanced nutrition, glowing skin, a clearer mind and a detoxified gut (and with
names like ‘Fuel,’ ‘Clean,’ ‘Recharge’ and
‘Renovation,’ why wouldn’t you believe
them?), not all of these claims can be
scientifically linked to juicing – although
nutritionists do not deny that fresh juice
can help deliver the vegetables and fruits
that many of us seem unable to find time
to eat.
One thing that will almost certainly
happen to juicers is that they will lose
weight (even if many deny that this
is their motivation). And that’s what
attracts a lot of women – Chinese or
not. With an extremely low number of
calories and trumped-up health benefits, cleanses unlock the possibility of
a better life through a ‘better’ body – an
idea that veers dangerously close to a
fixation on thinness that affects so many
women.
It’s not only busy professionals who
are lured by these quick fixes for slenderness. Totox is a company selling detoxifying sets of herbal teas that come in
bright pink envelopes and plastic bottles
reading ‘Better than Botox’ (the company’s tagline). The company claims that
its infusions help people lose weight,
burn fat and reduce their appetite,
among other benefits. A visit to its website shows images of flat stomachs, girls
on treadmills and Photoshop-enhanced
bikini bodies.
And who are Totox’s target customers? “Sixteen-year-olds and up,” according to co-founder Wu Jueling, who
launched last year with Angelababy as an
investor. It already has a customer base
of 2 million users, mainly in Shanghai,
Beijing and Guangzhou. “Young girls love
the concept,” says Wu.
In our image-obsessed era, it is a disturbing strategy. Perhaps more so in a country like China, where
memes like the ‘A4 Waist’ (calling for women to pose
with A4 pieces of paper to demonstrate how thin they
are) and the ’iPhone 6 Knees’ (which sees women cover their knees with their phones to prove how skinny
their legs are) have gone viral online.
“Eating disorders are on the rise in China,” says
psychology counsellor at East China Normal University,
Wang Yujing. “So it’s important to address trends focused on the perception of the body with care.”
There is no denying that what and how we eat is
important. And the rise of healthy-living options like
cleansing is proof that middle-class Chinese consumers are increasingly aware of that. But the promise of
thinness that comes along with juicing, and the misconception that it can be a permanent replacement for
solid food, are worrisome.
“The market certainly still has a lot to learn when
it comes to clean eating,” says V Cleanse’s Mayimin.
“Juicing isn’t a way of dieting, but rather a way to complement and support a wholesome lifestyle. After all,
being obsessive about healthy eating isn’t actually all
that healthy.”

Secrets of Saigon
Traveling in a Land of Hospitality
By Zach Cook
I
t’s hard to believe that just 40 years
ago the most comprehensive bombing campaign in world history concluded in what is now an idyllic and
all-around charming country.
After failing in its attempt to prevent
the spread of communism in Vietnam,
the United States withdrew from Saigon
(since renamed Ho Chi Minh City), but
not before devastating the region.
Yet miraculously, after the US withdrawal, Vietnam did not become a communist dystopia, nor did any “dominos
fall,” spreading communism throughout
Asia, as so many Cold Warriors of the day
had predicted.
On the contrary, today the country
is one of the finest places to visit. Ho
Chi Minh itself is an excellent city to frequent or even live in for those seeking a
well-rounded environment that has both
opportunities and an excellent quality
of life.
There are numerous sites and affordable accommodations for travelers, while
expats can pursue exciting prospects in
the financial capital of a country growing
in both economic and geopolitical significance in the Asia Pacific. That’s not to
mention the delectable yet cheap food or
the warm yet vivacious people, which of
course everyone can appreciate.
This is perhaps what’s most impressive about the city
– it is chock-full of characters. The people I encountered had very unique and animated personalities and
opinions. They weren’t at all predictable
A combination of cucumber, daikon, carrot
pickles, spicy chilies and cilantro sprigs gives
it the perfect texture – another hallmark of
Vietnamese cuisine.
To top it all off, as a leading coffee exporter, Vietnam is home to some of the finest
java. The specialty is a rich iced coffee with
condensed milk, the taste of which can ignite
pleasure sensors throughout the body – it’s
that good.
If the local food and delectable brews
impress, however, it’s the gracious, jovial
people who serve them that make the trip
extraordinary.
Be it a meal or massage, a tremendous
amount of care and technique goes into
the meticulous craft of attending to others.
Exemplary service aside, there is simply an
ineffable warmth about the Vietnamese people that makes visits so very pleasant.
Sites
Food
Vietnamese cuisine is famously fresh.
As in Thailand, even the cheapest food stalls
can provide taste explosions using fastidious
combinations of spices, all while maintaining a healthy freshness free of excess oil and
MSG.
Though many dishes contain seafood
(most notably fish sauce), vegetarians can
easily manage by simply saying chay to the
server, which means vegetarian.
Vietnam may be known for light bites
like spring rolls, but there is arguably no better place in Southeast Asia for meat either.
Walking the streets of Ho Chi Minh, one can
find big juicy pork chops grilled on the side
of the road with a host of rice and vegetables
for only USD3. This is perhaps the best deal
one can find anywhere… period.
What makes Vietnamese truly special
is its fusion with French. The incorporation
of the baguette into the local diet, for example, is one of the more positive vestiges of
European colonialism.
Any Westerner looking for a taste of
home while still getting an Asian experience should go for the banh mi dac biet, a
mouth-watering sandwich that appears
French on the outside but is all Vietnamese
on the inside. The roll cradles myriad meats,
like grilled pork, roast chicken and sausage.
It’s remarkable that locals are so genial,
especially toward Americans, considering
the recent past. Even beyond Ho Chi Minh, in
places far up in the hills like Da Lat (where
considerable fighting took place), people are
no less affable. To appreciate the extent of
this magnanimity in context, plan an afternoon to tour the War Remnants Museum.
While many will have heard various
statistics regarding the conflict or seen the
occasional macabre photo before visiting, it
can still be difficult to fathom the gravity of it
all once inside.
The bombardment of images of napalm
victims and stories of massacres is enough
to make the spine tingle; but perhaps most
chilling is the Agent Orange room. There, a
painted chamber is dedicated to the many
victims of physical deformities due to exposure to the chemical poison that was sprayed
over 10 percent of South Vietnam.
Apart from the glaring reminders of war
crimes, there is also plenty of military hardware on display for the weapons enthusiast.
But the real history aficionados should visit
the Cu Chi tunnels. This crowning achievement in guerrilla warfare helped an army of
peasants fend off the most powerful military
machine in the world. The Viet Cong used
the enormous labyrinth for combat, supply
and communication lines, food and weapons
caches, and even living quarters.
Visitors are allowed to meander through
a tunnel that has been refurbished to accommodate heftier Western bodies, but even this
enlarged version is taxing on the legs and
will leave you sore. There are also displays
of innovative traps, which, unlike the tunnel,
are probably not worth a test.
Thankfully, those darker times lie in the
past. During my stay in Vietnam, I only encountered one instance of anti-Americanism,
and not because of ingrained resentment. A
lugubrious cab driver expressed to me his
contempt for those hailing from the US, so
I apologized and asked if it was because of
the war.
“No. It’s because a rich 60-year-old
American stole my girlfriend, just like they
always do!” he exclaimed.
Ho Chi Minh is chock-full of characters
like my cabbie. The people have very unique
and animated personalities and opinions;
they aren’t at all predictable, which is refreshing.
For this same reason, the city is terrific
for nightlife. It’s almost always happy hour
on Bui Vien Street, and you can find everything you need there.
Yet perhaps the most enjoyable excursion is a simple walk around the city, beyond
the bustling tourist area surrounding Bui
Vien. Crossing the street with a constant
fleet of scooters coming at you can be unnerving at first, but just keep moving slowly
and they’ll go around – just as they swarm
around a bus, like a school of fish around a
whale, when it comes barreling down a road
using only the horn, not brakes.
Regardless of where your wanderlust
takes you in Vietnam, you’re sure to come
across ubiquitous French colonial architecture, exotic trees, delicious food and hospitable people all along the way.

Shenzhen’s
Quest for
Artistic
Identity
BY BronWEn ShELWELL
I
n 2008 Shenzhen was named a
world City of Design by UNESCO. It
has since gone on to promote itself
as the epicenter of maker culture
within China.
Though previously known as a
migrant city focused on factories and
finance, Shenzhen’s local government is
working hard to change that perspective
by promoting collaborative exchanges
with international arts centers in the region. But is it working?
Since Deng Xiaoping christened the
city as the first special economic zone in
1980, it has grown and expanded into
a first class modern mega-city. And as
one of a new breed of adolescent cities
in China, it is reinventing and rebuilding
itself at an incredible rate.
The young nature of Shenzhen poses
an interesting conundrum: on the one
hand, the city is new and open to creating
a voice for itself, but on the other hand it
can only do so within designated artistic
areas, lofts and ‘hubs’ as allocated by the
urban planning committee.
In the scramble to quickly fill this
cultural void, most of the art exhibitions
in Shenzhen are international and well
respected, but have no connection to the
people or city itself.
The main arts district in Shenzhen is
centered on the OCAT Arts Terminal – a
collection of renovated factories nestled
between the He Xiangning Art Museum
and the OCT Art and Design Gallery.
Here was applied the tried and tested
contemporary model of transforming
abandoned factories into chic urban
centers, peppered with brand name boutiques and coffee shops.
The spaces for art exhibitions are
vast and impressive, but only host internationally acclaimed headliner artists. A
few designer stores organize a market for
local artists on the first Saturday of each
month, but that’s the extent of support to
cultivate the local art scene in Shenzhen.
“If artists need space for an exhibition, they have to contact the owners
[of OCT] themselves,” explains Monka Jiang, who
displays her artwork regularly at the market and
cafes. “As far as I know, though, most of them don’t
have a chance.”
Part of the problem stems from the OCT property magnates, who prefer to bring in high-end
art exhibitions to add necessary value to the surrounding apartments.
Official OCT Art exhibitions, therefore, although varied and well executed, tend to lack any
relation to Shenzhen or its artists.
He Xiangning Art Museum, for its part, does
host an annual Cross-Straits exhibition between
Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macao and the mainland. And
while these shows are reserved for renowned,
established artists, they do create an important
dialogue between cities, providing insight into the
changes artists are seeing in different regions.
Similar trends permeate the artistic oases that
have sprung up around the Shekou area, owned by
the China Merchants property group, which plans
to open one of the largest art spaces in Shenzhen –
the Shekou Design Museum.
Dutch director Ole Bouman will head the project, which is still under construction, in collaboration with London’s Victoria and Albert Museum.
Their hope is to archive and document Shenzhen’s
artistic evolution and design history, paying homage to the identity of the city itself.
When it comes to fostering a local art scene,
however, bigger may not always be better. Some of
a r ts | f e a t u r e
the smaller privately owned and run
art project spaces
in Shenzhen succeed by engaging
with the public,
documenting their
experiences in this
ever-changing city.
According to
Kenna Xu, director of e Museum of
Contemporary Art,
Shenzhen does not have the
same artistic depth and talent as
other large cities in China, such as Beijing and
Shanghai.
“Traveling between the major Chinese
cities and internationally, I felt that Shenzhen
lacked privately owned, not-for-profit art
spaces and truly engaging art events and
workshops,” she says.
“I met a few like-minded individuals and
we decided to start this museum to display
collections, support contemporary artists,
and educate those that are interested in
learning more about contemporary art in
China, and internationally.”
The museum opened last year and is
working on starting up a young collectors
group in Shenzhen to build up a culture of
appreciating, understanding and supporting
the arts.
On the other end of this spectrum is
Handshake 302, one of the more interesting
art projects in the city, based out of a small
apartment in Baishizhou.
Although the space is snug, it has hosted
numerous residencies and is fully privately
funded. The organization reaches out to
the local Shenzhen community and public
schools with the focus on documenting the
lifestyle and experiences of residents in urban villages, and how this effects social and
community development.
Handshake 302 – founded and run
by a core group of collaborators, including American Mary Ann O'Donnell of
Shenzhennoted.com, who has been documenting urban change in Shenzhen for over
10 years – has played a pivotal role in finding
ways for artists and youth to express the realities of living in such a rapidly expanding city.
“Successful art takes an entire community to create; one or two people is not enough.”
says O’Donnell.
“What’s more, [art] circles and audiences
have to be different from each other. Young
people need to see a diversity of genres and
styles and failures and successes.”
In an attempt to make art more accessible
to the greater public, some organizations in
Shenzhen walk the line between government
-funded, property-owned and public art.
The Shenzhen Public Art Center, for
example, is involved with the Hong Kong/
Shenzhen architectural biennale in Shekou
and is seeking ways to
spread new art and design
ideas throughout the
metro system.
They have also
created an annual
public sculpture exhibition in Futian, where
attendees are encouraged to interact with
the sculptures, vote on
which pieces they would
like to see displayed permanently, and document how art
can interact with and improve the
lives of residents.
The New Who Art Village is also privately
owned and is a massive project aimed at renovating a small Hakka village on the outskirts
of Shenzhen into an artist’s neighborhood,
complete with a small gallery at the entrance
to the village, which hosts around six to eight
exhibitions a year.
Artist and curator Ting Wang says it’s
undeniable that well-known artists will
bring more attention and influence to the
city. However, good art ecology should allow
coexistence.
“Luckily for us, we can make the space we
need for ourselves,” says Wang.
The art village is located past the end
of the Longhua Metro Line and is difficult to
access – a problem she acknowledges – but
adds there is no space allocated for artists in
the city itself, so they have to develop on the
fringes of Shenzhen.
One of the reasons Shenzhen may still be
struggling to find its own artistic identity is
that many residents come from other regions
and still don’t regard the city as home.
But as more people consider Shenzhen as
a place to settle down, new permanent residents are creating a fresh city culture. The art
scene is not far behind, but there is still a need
for artist-run, nonprofit art platforms and
spaces for local, emerging artists to explore
these new concepts and challenges.
“Not even 10 years ago, the metro was
highly undeveloped; people were isolated
to specific areas and most had no interest in
art in Shenzhen,” says local art journalist Cao
Zhen.
“But I have seen an upsurge in events, lectures and seminars, with more access to the
public than ever before.”
As a ‘curated city,’ there is not a lot of
freedom in starting up art platforms outside
of the demarcated ‘art areas,’ but with the
influence of projects such as Handshake 302
and big plans from major international stakeholders, hopefully we will see more of such
startups in the future.

Since its inception, the Festival Croisements has been the heart of French presence in China – a spectacular fete of
creativity and cultural exchange. Now celebrating its 11th year on the mainland, the two-month series returns this
spring with an emphasis on Franco-Chinese artistic collaborations in the visual arts, film, music, dance and literature.
Below, we’ve selected the highlights of this year’s festival that will tour within the PRD.

Thierry Maillard Concert
Rémi Panossian Concert
A real maestro of jazz, Maillard studied piano and accordion at the Ecole Normale de
Musique de Paris before moving to New York
City at age 17 to compose his own works.
This May, Maillard returns for a reunion tour
with long-time partner Dominique Di Piazza
on the bass and Yoann Schmidt of Blues &
Beyond Quartet on the drums.
At the early age of 10, Panossian attended
his first Michel Petrucciani concert and
became hooked on jazz, later dedicating his
entire career to the musical genre. Now with
four records under his belt, this young pianist has paired his passion with experience,
giving way to a distinct composure on stage
that radiates energy and confidence.

The Swingle Singers
Adding to a Grammy-Filled Legacy
BY Andrew Chin
L
egacy is a gift and a curse. With
a Grammy-filled career that’s
stretched five decades, the Swingle
Singers have a massive one.
However, during a memorial concert last
year to commemorate the group’s founder
Ward Swingle, Edward Randell received the
seal of approval from past group members.
“There were around 40 Swingle Singers
past and present that sang together,” he recalls.
“During the event, I had the feeling that the
past singers are just really touched that the
group is still going and making great music.”
Formed in 1962 by Swingle and other
session singers that performed background
vocals on recordings for Edith Piaf, the group
found accidental success with their debut
Jazz Sébastien Bach.
Recorded as a present for family and
friends, the album collected two Grammys
in 1963 and paved the road for an awardwinning career that has endured despite
numerous lineup changes.
While Bach remains a crowd-pleasing
part of the Swingle Singers’ live repertoire,
Randell says the biggest tribute the current iteration of the group can give to the
Swingles’ iconic past is to continue evolving
in the future.
“What the original Swingle Singers did
What the original
Swingle Singers did

was fresh, innovative and like nothing people
had heard before,” he says. “That creative
spirit is the most important thing for us to
preserve. As much as we love singing the
group’s early repertoire we’re always trying
to move things forward and surprise audiences too.”
Randell notes their rendition of
Piazzolla’s ‘Libertango’ and Mumford & Sons’
‘After the Storm’ have been current live staples, but adds “the biggest thing is writing
new music.”
“We’re particularly focused on original
songs, which bring a different energy to the
show as they give us a very personal relationship to what we’re singing.”
Last year marked a new chapter for the
group with the release of two albums: Yule
Songs Vol. II and the ambitious Deep End.
“We’re really happy with how fans have
responded to both albums,” Randell beams.
“Deep End in particular took a long time to
make and doesn’t sound like anything else
we’ve done, so it’s great to see people connecting with it."
He gleefully says the group has “lots of
potential projects in the pipeline,” excitedly
discussing an idea of folk music from around
the world “which gives us the chance to
bring together an incredible wealth of musical styles and traditions.”
While the group previously performed
in Beijing in 2001, this will be the debut
mainland performance for its current lineup.
Randell promises a diverse show of past and
present classics, noting, “we just go where
our own interests and tastes lead. Ultimately,
it is honesty and authenticity that audiences
respond to.”

We Came to Rock
Tomorrow Festival Shakes Up Shenzhen
BY Ziyi Yuan
T
his May, Shenzhen welcomes the
third annual Tomorrow Festival, an
alternative music fest packed with
leading international musicians in
experimental, rock, avant-garde, free jazz and
world.
Commencing on May 11, the five-day
event will feature live shows, exclusive
lectures and a documentary screening.
Feldermelder will kick things off on stage
with live psychedelic acts played on a wide
range of analog and controlled digital equipment. Later that day, Ovo, an edgy Italian band
that is one of the most active in the worldwide
noise rock scene, is set to rev things up with
rebellious jams and plenty of attitude.
Phew, the former Japanese punk legend,
will present her radical voice on May 12,
while a host of mainland performers, including Mamer and the band Wood Pushing
Melon, will showcase highlights from their
latest albums.
A series of lectures will round out the latter half of the festival, with Brian Turner leading a discussion about WFMU radio’s unique
independent history, philosophy and freeform
(as opposed to genre-specific) programming
on May 14.
Those curious about aesthetics or effects pedals should tag along for the second
talk, 'Revolutionary Aesthetics of Effects
Pedals – Nothing to Total Sonic Annihilation,'
which will feature unique insights from Oliver
Ackermann, the founder of Death By Audio.
In addition to the live shows and lectures, a
rare footage documentary will share the story
of Faust, a group at the forefront of a German
musical movement characterized by progressive, textured layers of sound fused into live
concerts using a manipulation of chainsaws,
cement mixers, solder irons and other industrial equipment. On May 14, Faust will make
a special appearance on stage to conclude the
weeklong festival with a bang (literally).
So grab those Coachella cut-offs and make
your way towards tomorrow – it’s going to be
five days of pure music mayhem.

MY FAIR LADY
Lady Doolittle Steps Out on the Town
BY Zoey Zha
B
ased on George Bernard Shaw’s
Pygmalion, few musical adaptations
have been as hallowed as My Fair
Lady. Its 1956 debut on Broadway
featuring award-winning actors Rex Harrison
and Julie Andrews set a then-record for the
longest theatrical run in history. A 1964 film
adaptation starring Audrey Hepburn racked
up eight Oscars, including Best Film. Still a
stage favorite, a touring production of this
classic takes over the Guangzhou Opera House
from May 17 to 22.
The story follows young Cockney flower
girl Eliza Doolittle, whose life is transformed
by Henry Higgins – a professor of phonetics who makes a bet with his friend Colonel
Hugh Pickering that he can transform a common girl into an urbane lady within months.
Stepping into a role that Andrews and
Hepburn made famous is Californian Aurora
Florence. Arguably the youngest Eliza
Doolittle on stage, she accepted the role
fresh out of college. It’s impossible to avoid
the question: can she deliver?
“Something I love about Hepburn and
Andrews’ interpretations of Eliza is how
much spunk and passion they both brought.
I think it is one of the reasons audiences
around the world love Eliza so much,” she
says. “I strive to bring my own passion and
spunk to the character and use that to show
the incredible journey that Eliza goes on.”
Unlike her character, Florence is adept
with accents. However, the doll-eyed actress
shares traits with the iconic character.
“Eliza has a great sense of who she is and
the life that she wants to live, but it takes
her some time to discover exactly what that
is,” she notes. “I have had that same experi-
ence in my life over and over again. Knowing
where I want to go, but not totally sure how
to get there.”
By contrast, Chris Carsten plays the
well-educated but cynical and self-involved
professor. “He’s extremely good at what he
does, and with that comes the spoils of his
confidence,” the actor says of his character.
“His assumptions cause him to underes-
There is a range of
emotions explored
by these characters,
and romantic love
is a complicated
expression at best
timate Eliza in many ways. It’s her courage
that takes him to a new
classroom where men and
women are peers, learn
from each other and enjoy
each other’s company.”
While many consider
the ambiguous ending a
prelude to the character’s
budding romance, Carsten is
less convinced.
“In my opinion, there
is a range of emotions explored by these characters,
and romantic love is a complicated expression at best,”
he says. “The script has many evidences that
could be thought of as love, but it is complicated, as it is in life. In the end, much is left
to the imagination.”
One thing for certain is the inclusion of
the iconic film scene set at the Ascot Horse
Race, which featured Hepburn stepping
into the scene clad in a stunning dress and
elegant hat.
Florence raves about the dress, which is
“a replica of the dress Hepburn wore in the
film.” She describes her character’s wardrobe
in the play as "elegant, but at the same time
physically constricting. I think it’s an exterior
example of how Eliza is feeling at this point
in the development of her new skills.”
The Broadway revival, which won wide
acclaim during its tour from America to
Korea, will land in Guangzhou this month as
part of a six-city China tour.

The Infinite
Kinetic Sculpture as an Exploration of
the Universe
BY Tom Lee
“
Man is by nature a social animal.” So wrote Aristotle in his seminal philosophical text, Politics. The Ancient Greek thinker was theorizing how humans depend on normalized interaction to thrive. Compared to the time
when Aristotle lived, more than 2,000 years ago, today mankind is far more
connected. Technological advances have brought us to a place where communication with someone on the other side of the world can be achieved almost instantly.
Rather than being sequestered in individual nations, we can truly say that we live
in a global society.
“We are connected much more than years ago, but differently, because we
evolved,” says Maurizio Gavazzi, the experimental mixed media artist whose
exhibition, AOTI: Archive of the Infinite, is opening in Guangzhou this month. “My
art is always about evolving, transformation and technology, and the underlying
connections between people.”
Aristotle’s quote is important to Gavazzi – in fact, he describes it as one of
the most central, uniting concepts of his oeuvre – but just as important is the fact
that the way we socialize today is changing all the time.
In one of the pieces the Italian is bringing to Guangzhou’s Canton Place this
month, a cell phone has been inserted inside a fairly standard glass bottle – the
kind a stranded castaway would have used, once upon a time, to carry a scribbled SOS. The inference is clear: the quaint image of the message in the bottle is
alien to our modern life, something we will only encounter in the swashbuckling
adventures and romantic tales of yesteryear.
“Everything I create needs to come back to my principal vision about people
evolving. We are still evolving, and now we are evolving through technology,”
says Gavazzi, as he explains some of his core beliefs. Maybe in the future, he
muses, we will be half human, half robot.
In some ways, his art has already moved closer to such a
hybrid. Gavazzi has employed many forms of media in order to
find fresh meaning in objects, but his most recent projects have
revolved around striking moving sculptures that are controlled
by human whim. Using a remote control, the motion of the
parts can be manipulated. The idea is that the artwork is forever altering to reflect the viewer’s emotions and impulses.
From his studio in Bergamo, Italy, the former bank director
shows us, via his laptop camera, the materials he uses to mold
his kinetic art. Sheet metal, recycled bicycle chains, a motor engine and cans of paint are scattered about the wooden-beamed
space. Through the window, one can just glimpse hints at a
picturesque suburban locale. Within such a sanctuary, it’s no
wonder that Gavazzi is such a philosophical man.
The title of his Guangzhou exhibition draws on a poem by
one of Italy’s most famous poets, Giacomo Leopardi. In ‘The
Infinite,’ Leopardi writes that as he sits and gazes at “the horizon’s furthest reaches,” he becomes aware of “an endless space
still beyond” that frightens him with its depth. Yet it also thrills
him: “Into this immensity my thought sinks ever drowning, and
it is sweet to shipwreck in such a sea.”
“My artwork right now, the pieces I will bring [to
Guangzhou], the theme is the universe,” explains Gavazzi. “I
was thinking that if we take in all the things we can see in the
universe, we will realize that we are just a small little planet,
and we need to protect it – or we need to think of other planets
where we will need to go in the future. I want us to have these
images of the universe very clearly in our minds, to prepare us
for the future.”
There are many real-world concerns addressed in Gavazzi’s
work: the environmental impact mankind is having on the
planet; the enormity of the cosmos; evolving technology; human
interaction. In representing these concerns, he always seems to
be looking for ways to reinvent his aesthetic style, to find new
meaning in old objects. It’s no surprise that two of his greatest
artistic inspirations are Piero Manzoni and Marcel Duchamp.
Gavazzi has carefully planned his show in Guangzhou so
that it takes into account the exhibition area in Canton Place,
transforming it into an interactive organism. “I am trying to
recreate my thinking, my way to make art on that space, to
connect it to that space, using some of the chairs and tables
already in that space, but becoming my laboratory, like the one
I have in Italy.
“It will not be just walking and seeing one painting and
reading something and going to another one. I will create some
islands where there will be some lights, some instruments,
some special music, so you will go inside this space and you
will feel the connectivity.”

CRIBS
A Look Inside
the PRD’s Most
Extravagant
Homes
BY JocELYn rIchardS
Yet with thousands of Guangdong
residents scurrying to acquire grassy
European estates or mansions in central
Vancouver every year, the question of
what, if any, luxury options exist here in
southern China seemed worthy of exploration.
So when a friend tipped us off about a
fancy resort in Huadu, about an hour’s
drive north from downtown Guangzhou,
we decided to scope it out.
Standing on the lush, lychee-scented
mountaintops of Dragon Lake residence,
it was clear we’d hit the jackpot. In South
China, where cities consume more of
the surrounding countryside each year,
a bedside view of the natural landscape
becomes, well, priceless.
At least that’s what the founders of
Dragon Lake were betting on when they
set the listing price of a 1,000-squaremeter mansion at RMB280 million (USD43
million).
“You’re not just paying for the house,
see, you’re buying the view, the lake, so
it’s actually worth much more than that,”
explains Han Lin, deputy general manager
of Backyard, a subsidiary of Golden Horse
Crib: a home, domicile or dwelling
(Urban Dictionary)
seven bedrooms are decked out in imported Italian leather furniture, plush
carpets and world-class electronics.
It’s a weekday around lunchtime, but
no other cars or people pass us on
the mountain, which is closed to nonresidents.
Huge walk-in closets – the size of
an average apartment bedroom in
Guangzhou or Shenzhen – ensure
ample room for shoe collections.
Bathrooms are disguised as 50-squaremeter suites with ceramic Jacuzzis and
mirrors trimmed in gold.
Purchased 20 years ago, the gorgeous
25,000-acre 4A tourist destination
and residential plot of Dragon Lake is
home to a PGA-competition 54-hole
golf resort, a European-inspired village (with its own functioning church),
three hotels and a cluster of American
villas – all of which border Yew Wah
International Education School.
Seven mansions comprise Peninsula
Villa, which overlooks a vast network
of glistening tributaries and uninhabited hills as far as the eye can see.
Han brings us to one of the more valuable properties, perched on the outermost tip of the cape. The yard measures roughly 2,100 square meters and
includes a private dock for boating
and, in case the lake isn’t entertaining
enough, an oversized infinity pool.
“Our motto here is to ‘restore the
beauty of the world,’” says Han,
proudly gesturing to the breathtaking
setting below. It strikes us that ‘restore’ in this case may mean ‘purchase
access to,’ but the slogan is probably
catchier as is.
The exterior of the home is stunning. Towering linden trees line the
circular driveway in front, yielding a
surprisingly authentic, lived-in feel for
a house built in 2013. Elegant beige
columns and an inlayed stone walkway
instill fresh curiosity in the three-story
edifice beyond.
Inside, a quick elevator ride brings us
to the second and third floors, where
Hong Kong designer Steve Leung
laid out the crisp interior, which is
clearly catered to the more ostentatious of well-to-do Chinese families.
The kitchen area alone is worth more
than RMB2 million, according to Pan
Weitang, a planning executive at the
resort. Divided into a Chinese and
Western side, the pantry is opulent but
snug, with regrettably less
usable space than the closets upstairs.

A KTV parlor, full sauna,

ditions. Yet the dwelling
is modest by crib standards – USD40
million would buy a place 10 times
the size in most countries. Here in
Guangdong, though, this is as fancy as
it gets.
“We entered the market early as a
luxury brand,” recalls Han, describing
the foothold of Golden Horse in the
early 2000s. “When most places were
going for RMB3,000-4,000 per square
meter, we were selling for RMB10,000.
Plus you needed guanxi to have a shot
at buying.”
Exclusivity is the name of the game
when it comes to spending big on the
mainland. A lack of truly exquisite
properties means that connections,
not money, will ultimately determine
what one can buy.

“We’ve kept most of the home the same,”
says Frank Huang, the director of Fei Yuan
Gallery – an art center and cafe housed in
a private villa built in 1922.
“The floor tiles are all originals, except for
a few we’ve replaced. But the staircase,
windowpanes, doorways… they’ve been
here since the 20s.”
Named a national-level cultural relic in
2012, the house is now protected by the
government, which limits how much the
owner can alter structurally.
Inside, however, a host of stylistic touches
breathe new life into the vintage decor. On
the second floor, hand-carved ivory lights
dangle from lofty ceilings, illuminating
bouquets of lavender and pink carnations
accented by dark, mustard-colored walls.
A side balcony and spacious front patio
connect to overhanging rooms, letting
sunlight seep into the shadowed hallways. The patio furniture, Huang tells
us, was custom-designed by students at
the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts to
incorporate patterns found in the original house. Each chair is adorned with an
emerald mosaic that matches the shape
of the floor tiles, while the chairs’ iron
lattice mirrors curvatures in the original
windowpanes.
From the second-floor patio, one can spot
another mansion just across the street,
sitting quaintly behind a wall of slim
bamboo. Worth roughly RMB200 million
(USD30 million), this one is even glitzier
inside – the place took more than two
years to decorate, we’re told, and the
owner is “not quite done yet.”
“In China, spending two years to renovate
is a long, long time,” says Robert Li, the
sales manager of the residence (now
called MXQ art space) as he invites us
inside. “It shows you how meticulous the
owner is.”
Zhang Leming, a real estate tycoon from
Chaoshan, purchased the house a few
years ago as a showroom for his vast collection of antiques and modern art.

look more expensive than they are.
“That’s what I like about the owner,” Li
responds, sensing our surprise at the affordability of some impressive fixtures.
“With him, it’s not about the money, it’s
all about artistic balance. He likes the
idea of perfection.”
We start in the ‘modern’ side of the
residence and work our way towards
the ‘traditional’ side, comprised of a Zeninspired massage parlor, private banquet
“Zhang loves to fuse Chinese and
Japanese elements,” offers Alonso Liu,
the managing director. “He sees commonality in the two.”
And perhaps that’s the beauty of owning
a crib – having the power to mold one’s
private space into virtually any style
imaginable.

Glossy floors, two walls of windows and
transparent cabinets give one the feeling of
walking on air. A row of Andy Warhol-esque
butterfly paintings only adds to the sensation, their rainbow hues complementing a
case of polychrome Kon Yutaka coffee accessories across the room.
Here, the furniture was sourced from nearly
10 different countries; the transparent
cabinets, for example, were assembled in
Dongguan using imported acrylic glass from
the UK. Three mismatched titanium bar
stools, worth roughly RMB4,000 each, were
imported from Spain, while coffee tables inlayed with jade were designed in Shenzhen.

BEHIND THE DESIGN
The trend of custom-made decor is not only
prevalent among the mainland’s affluent.
People of all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds are jumping onboard, tailoring everything from bedframes and wardrobes to kitchen
cabinets and sinks.
As housing prices skyrocket in Shenzhen and
more gradually in parts of Guangzhou, high
costs and tiny homes have pushed many to invest in custom-made interiors to maximize the
limited space they have.
42
Between 2010 and 2015, China’s interior
decoration and furnishing market grew at an
average of 6 percent annually, with 2 billion
square meters of built-up space decorated and
furnished each year, according to the China
Building Decoration Association.
Massive wholesale markets and factories are
a common sight along highways in Foshan,
Zhongshang and Dongguan, buoying the industry in Guangdong, which has long been China’s
top furniture export base.
Gu yeli
Yet while the province remains a hot spot for
manufacture, many local brands are increasingly squeezed between rising production costs,
mounting taxes and rampant imitators.
For Phinns Casa, a designer and antique furniture brand founded by Lorna Wong of Hong
Kong and her husband Anton Phinn in 1997,
the market is completely different than it was
20 years ago.
“Now we are a lot smaller than before. We
used to have a much bigger showroom,” Wong
recalls. “When we first started, everything was
much cheaper – rentals, salaries, you know, and
China’s taxes are really high.”
Greater expenses would be bearable if demand
for Phinns’ niche designs also grew, but the
market in China today is split between those
who lust after shiny Versace collections and
those who prefer cheap knockoffs. As a company committed to the real thing, i.e. authentic
antiques and original designs by Anton Phinn,
Phinns Casa finds it difficult to appeal to the
bulk of consumers.
“I think we all have a free choice in what we
want to do,” continues Wong, recalling a time
when Phinns’ showroom was copied down
to the last detail of how they arranged their
plants. “If people’s criteria is, I save as much as
possible, and as long as something looks more
or less similar that will do, then who am I to
criticize? But I don’t believe that in life, I believe
either you get the genuine thing or you don’t.”
Others in the industry share similar experiences. According to Logan Komorowski, creative director of lifestyle brand United Strangers,
most companies based in central and northern
China tend to come to Guangzhou to produce,
but don’t see the city as something they should
“follow.”
“The really frustrating thing about Guangzhou
is, it has more potential than most of the other
cities in China but the quality and service levels
you get for your money these days is just not
what it should be.”

A couple years ago, Komorowski established a
huge showroom for the brand in Redtory, where
he hoped to revamp the site and attract more
visitors to the still underdeveloped art district.
Unfortunately, a few months into the contract,
the management doubled the rent for all occupants, forcing the company to relocate to the
former French concession in Shanghai, where
prices are surprisingly much more reasonable.
Despite the challenges, however, Komorowski
remains optimistic, citing promising local brands
that are pursuing individualistic design in South
China.
“Bentu are a group of young designers that definitely have their finger on the pulse in terms of
united
stranGers
what’s happening in China and are doing products that the Chinese want,” he says.
With the slogan “what we want to present
are not only products, but also sincerity to
design,” Bentu reflects a broader attitude
among budding artists in China, who strive to
maintain a high level of quality and creativity in their products, decoupling themselves
from notorious profit-hungry, copycat industries.
All across China, emerging furniture designers
are persisting in the art, striving to bring original, innovative pieces to the world’s attention.
During Milan Design Week this past April, the
‘Fan’ series of chairs by Beijing designer Shao
Fan won stellar reviews from critics, who considered his work an interpretation of modern
Chinese life philosophy. The furniture, which
roughly resembles a fan, is infused with both
Western ebullience and attitudes of traditional
China.
shao
Fan
Other top contemporary designers like Zhang
Zhoujie, Xiao Tianyu, Hui Lingcheng and the
team at Pinwu are changing the way ‘made in
China’ furnishings are viewed throughout the
world. The industry is one of the few that has
managed to retain Chinese stylistic elements
while also reshaping them into a more current
depiction of mainland culture.
For the youth in China, who are finally coming
to grips with what it means to feel comfortable in one’s own skin, that’s a very welcome
trend.
“You can’t just buy your look and your feeling
and your way all the time, which has currently
happened for the last four to five years,”
concludes Komorowski. “It used to be, I have
money, come look at my Ferrari. But now,
there are a certain percentage of people that
are traveling more and they’re coming back
and individualizing themselves and also their
homes. That’s where our future is in China…
that has to be the way forward.”

As a design company, it’s pretty crucial to have your own place looking
snazzy. The spaces of makers are like
cribs away from home because, well,
they tend to be there a lot.
For Tobia Repossi & Partners, an
interior and product design company
that works for Asian brands with
Western standards and European and
American clients who have their R&D
base in China, design is everything.
The team, comprised of 20 people,
chose Shenzhen as the prime location for their office in order to be
close to production units, accelerators and start-ups. Supported by Sino
European Design Union, an organization that connects designers and
companies from all over the world to
the Chinese market, Repossi was able
to design an interior that reflects the
mission of the company.
“The result is a showroom for our designs and suppliers that changes according to the season with different
objects and colors,” explains Tobia
Repossi, founder of the brand.
“We strongly believe in informal
working spaces where we can feel
at home and we love to immerse our
clients in this cozy and stylish atmosphere. Our studio is an open space
that shows our attitude towards
what we do – it welcomes everybody
and there's always time to indulge
in a glass of Italian wine with our
customers.”
Headquartered in the center of Futian District in
Shenzhen, Emie Labs is right where you’d expect a
start-up to be. With the noble mission of connecting
local and foreign start-ups with office spaces and
offering marketing advice and access to investors,
Emie is committed to helping the little guys, and
that’s reflected in its laid-back, down-to-earth office
design.
Upon arrival, a freight elevator leads one up to
the third floor, where an office that could only be
described as a working geek’s paradise awaits.
From quirky inspirational quotes on the wall to an
array of gimmicks and gadgets sprinkled around the
spacious, brightly covered area, Emie Labs provides
so much more than a working environment.
“People here stay up late working on their startups. They need to relax and feel at home,” says
Christophe Branchu, one of the founders of the
space.
Despite all the perks, the brand has their sights set
on something even bigger – a 2,500-square-meter
space in Huaqiangbei, where they hope to move later
this year.
With such a strong emphasis on decor, you may
think the guys at Emie Labs spend all of their time
pursuing innovative office design projects, but that’s
not the case. Most of the cool elements have actually
been brought in by members of the team and left
behind.
“A little mess makes you feel at home,” smiles
Branchu, who promises he’ll keep the same homey
theme at the company’s new location.

Imagine all the People
Why So Many of Us Are Illiterate Readers
by Lena Gidwani
I
n his 1967 coming-of-age memoir Stop
Time, author Frank Conroy describes
his wry, sad and beautiful introduction
to the world of prose as an adolescent
in New York.
"I'd lie in bed," he pens with gripping detail, "and read one paperback after another
until two or three in the morning. The real
world dissolved and I was free to drift in fantasy, living a thousand lives, each one more
powerful, more accessible and more real
than my own."
I know that child. I am that child, sans
the heartache and poverty. And for as long as
I can remember, I have always read that way.
These days, with two sprightly tots in
tow, I have swapped mildewed paperbacks
for brightly colored hardbacks that tell of
the staged, mind-blowing, earth-shattering
adventures of Biff, Chip, Kipper and their
mischievous dog Floppy, all in the hopes of
imparting the fine art of phonetic awareness.
This epic journey of digraphs and morphemes has brought me to an age-old question: why is it important for children to truly
understand what they are reading?
It’s 2016, and our Google/Facebook/
Twitter culture means we often read with
the sole purpose of either knowing to know
(read: so we win at trivia nights), knowing
to share (read: so we look like we’re well
read) or knowing to comment (read: so we
have an opinion). This appears to be changing the way we interact, communicate and,
ultimately, read.
To grasp this most bewildering concept,
one must understand the following neuroscientific phenomenon. A newborn’s brain
is hardwired to learn a language; they don’t
need to be taught as it just happens naturally.
Learning how to read, however, is a
completely different story. It is a complex,
structured process that follows a typical
and specific path. It starts with fundamental
phonological processing – the awareness of
sounds themselves – which then builds into
phonics, or the ability to decode a sound
that translates into and matches an abstract
symbol. Eventually, that merges into a full,
automatic rattle.
There are certain aspects that slow down
this process (such as socioeconomic status,
sensory processing difficulties or other
medical disorders) or accelerate it (such as
continuous effort, constant parental involvement and a rich environment with instruction from educators that are able to motivate,
effectively track levels and deliver regular
feedback). So no surprises here; unlike language acquisition, reading is a taught skill.
But returning to the burning question
at hand, how does one know if a child fully
comprehends what they are reading? Are
they just doing so from an illustrated page
because context clues help (and because they
want a sticker), or are they actually lost and
drifting in sheer fantasy like young Conroy,
as they effortlessly narrate away? Is it too
much to ask of a child aged 4 or 5?
No, according to Professor Daniel T.
Willingham, a researcher and psychologist
at the University of Virginia. His article in
the Washington Post seven years ago, called
‘Language and the Brain,’ claims we are all
illiterate. Yes, illiterate, unless of course, we
use this god-given gift called imagination.
No matter how many words we can
sound out, he says, we are all untaught, unless we truly understand the purpose of
the artful combination of these 26 symbols.
Being a reader, in other words, escapes exact
definition; it ultimately involves so much
more than the skill itself.
Think of it as a massaging of the creative cognizance, to inspire a slowing down
of the senses, in order to think, contemplate,
discover and imagine while floating amongst
thumb-sized fairies, rainbow-colored unicorns and green monsters that live in a
closet.
I’ve often proclaimed that the world
within pages is more compelling than the
world without, and I am sticking to my guns
here. Sound the words to decode, feel the
words to get lost, then – wait for it – read the
words to imagine.

BruxISm
Is Teeth Gridding a Myth or Reality?
BY dr. Sandro raSgado
What is bruxism?
Bruxism is a constant and forceful habit
of gridding or clenching the teeth. Usually
teeth should touch each other when chewing
and swallowing food, which happens briefly
during the day.
What are the consequences?
Often the excessive force of bruxism
results in the destruction of the enamel and
dentine of your teeth. Without these protective layers, your teeth may become sensitive,
painful and vulnerable to decay. The regular
habit of clenching or grinding may lead to
pain in the jaw and muscles.
Who has it?
According to some statistics, half of the
population is thought to have occasionally
grinded their teeth. One out of every 20
cases of bruxism could become a serious
condition. Furthermore, about 30 percent of
children grind or clench their teeth.
Do I have it?
During sleep, a bed partner may be able
to notice grinding noises. Other signs and
symptoms include a dull morning headache,
tight jaw muscles, limited mouth opening
when yawning, prolonged facial pain, damage to the teeth and fractured dental fillings.
Your dentist is crucial in helping to diagnose
bruxism. You will be asked a series of questions and your overall dental health will be
checked.
What are the causes?
Many factors are associated with bruxism such as stress, anxiety, drug use, side effects of antidepressants, concentration during work or studying, illness, dehydration,
bad diet, sleeping problems, teething (in
babies), missing teeth, incorrect teeth alignment and problems with dental work.
How can bruxism be treated?
There are many treatments for bruxism,
which may include relaxation, counseling,
sports activities and improving the quality
of sleep. You may also benefit from reducing the use of stimulants such as caffeine or
nicotine. Very often dentists prescribe grinding mouth guards to protect your teeth, jaw
and muscles from the destructive pressure
forces. If teeth are worn down too much,
restorative and cosmetic treatments are also
required (fillings, crowns or veneers).
Can it get worse?
Many cases of bruxism are mild and have
minor consequences. Nonetheless, people
should consult their dentist to identify and
stop the cause. Serious cases result in pain
and teeth destruction, which will require
specific treatment. If you think you may have
this condition, it’s best to take action to prevent any serious consequences.

The Importance of Annual Visits
BY dr. dougLaS coLIna
T
o help children and teens grow into
healthy adults, it’s important that
they receive regular check-ups.
Health care providers use the visits
to screen for medical and developmental
issues. The check-ups also provide a great
opportunity for parents and children to build
a relationship with their pediatric or family
medicine providers.
The American Academy of Pediatrics
recommends children see their doctor at
least once a year. As children grow, it is crucial that a pediatrician monitor their overall
health and how they are developing. This
enables doctors to detect health concerns
before they worsen or your child requires a
trip to the emergency room.
Many kids may need a physical before
they can go back to school or participate
in sports. A physical exam fulfills the same
need as an annual check-up. Depending on
your child’s age and medical history, these
appointments may include physical, eye,
hearing and dental exams as well as lab tests.
They are also a perfect occasion to make
sure your child is up-to-date with all recom-
mended immunizations.
Often times, we only see children when
they are sick, but it is also important for us to
see them when they are healthy. Prevention
is much better than cure!

cooperated with sports brand Li Ning to
host a 10-kilometer 'mini-marathon' in 15
cities. March 27 saw the start of the running competition at Guangzhou’s Ersha
Island. Being the first stop, Guangzhou
invited Olympic champions Guo Weiyang,
Luo Yutong and Yang Jinghui to attend.
Sponsoring the completion, Master Kong
distributed their new Youyue purified water, which employs advanced nano-filter
technology to effectively remove ions, organic matter, suspended solids and other
impurities to reduce the ‘hardness’ of the
water and improve its taste.

GOSSIP
It’s been a surprisingly calm
month despite having the
rambunctious Canton Fair
crowds in town. In fact, the
biannual import-export event
appears to have persuaded some
venues to open early.
Suns Bar and Lounge at Party
Pier saw very dapper attendees
at its grand opening in early
April, while we’re overjoyed
to announce that Capone’s is
back on Xingsheng Lu but with
a new name: Mafia Bar and
Restaurant.
Also on the Liede strip (though
slightly off the beaten path)
is Paradise India, a hub of
delicious curries and lassis with
(thank god) delivery options
available. Not far from there is
M9 Mable Nite Club, which –
pysch! – isn’t really a nightclub
but a restaurant and bar. The
results are in on p62.
On the ground floor of Voka
Street Mall in Tianhe, new
upscale Western restaurant
Aroma Bistro is ready to
impress but still undergoing
a few last minute alterations.
Simulated golf bar Go Green
(p66) recently set up shop
in GTLand and is actually
condoning drinking and driving!
(Pun intended). In Zhujiang we
have Pho Kim Saigon, a “top
tasting” pho eatery, opening in
mid-May, while microbrewery
Aidesen Grizzly (p68) is now
serving its craft Qingdao potion
on Huajiu Lu. Pizza Express,
too, is about to serve slices
in Parc Central Plaza (where
Guangzhou’s only official Apple
store is).
Venturing back to Yuexiu’s
Jianshe Liu, we’ve seen shortlived Funny Grille replaced
by Taksim ‘Delicate’ (directly
across the street from Taksim
Bistro) while Cheris Patisserie
is closed and offering its beloved
baby blue cafe to Sketch
Restaurant and Bar (if you can
sense our regret, you’re spot on).
So concludes our juicy tidbits for
this month. Until next time!

How to Wrap a Rice Dumpling
by Jocelyn Richards
E
very year on Duanwu
Jie (better known as
Dragon Boat Festival),
sweet and savory rice
dumplings find their way into supermarket displays and kitchens
across China. Wrapped in bamboo
leaves and tied with yarn, zongzi
used to be made by hand, packed
with tender meats, nuts and glutinous rice. Today, few born after
1970 have the slightest idea how
to wrap the triangular pouches,
while older generations have
mostly given up in favor of storebought alternatives. This month,
we bring you an exclusive recipe
from Chef Wen of the Garden
Hotel, Guangzhou – an expert in
authentic Cantonese cuisine with
more than 28 years of experience
– so that you may pass along the
tradition of one of China’s oldest
and most treasured treats!
Ingredients:
6 duck egg yolks, salted
1 lb pork belly
2/3 cup peanuts, raw
2 tbsp light soy sauce
1/2 cup minced shiitake mushrooms
5 cups sticky rice, short grain
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp white pepper, ground
1 tsp oil
1/2 cup water
36-40 dried bamboo leaves (can
purchase on Taobao)
2 cups glutinous rice
Cotton twine to tie the zongzi
Preparation:
1. Pre-soak glutinous rice for a day
or until the rice is soft and tender.
2. Rinse and clean the bamboo
leaves.
3. Use salt water to boil the bamboo leaves for 15 minutes to further purify the leaves.
4. Air dry the leaves, make sure
both sides are dried.
5. Soak the pork in soy sauce for
20 minutes and mix with salt,
sugar, pepper, oil and water before
putting into the leaves.
6. Soak shiitake mushrooms in
water until soft, and then finely
mince.
7. Hold three bamboo leaves
together at different angles, like
a 6-point star. Roll one end of
a leaf into a cone shape (cone
should rest at the center of the
leaves).
8. Fill the empty cone with glutinous rice, add the meat filling and
other ingredients into the center.
9. Use the other end of the bamboo leaves to cover the cone and
continue to wrap tightly around
the dumpling.
10. Tie yarn around the dumpling,
holding it together.
11. Steam over boiling water for
three hours, without letting it
touch the water.

M9 Mable Nite Club
M for the Money
by Lena Gidwani
I
f we had a kuai for every time a restaurant or bar on Xingsheng Lu suddenly
shuts down and magically reappears a
few days later with a new name and decor, we’d be rich. It leads one to assume there’s
a bad batch of mojo going around the street.
Perhaps that’s why the three owners at
M9 Mable Nite Club (previously Mezomd,
Hola Espana, El Espanol, Gaudi and a few
more, we’ve since lost count) are sticking to a
healthy dose of superstition; they’ve named
this restaurant after their nine family members whose names all start with the letter M.
For those on the street, drinks are M9’s
bread and butter, and there’s plenty here to
wax lyrical. For a fragrant, cotton-candy-like
start, order the M9 (RMB69), a concoction of
Rio, rum vodka, gin, tequila and blackcurrant
beans. Traditionalists will love the cold sangria (RMB59); it’s rich and fruity.
Now, for the food. There’s Spanish,
there’s Japanese, there’s Thai – there’s even
local and continental delights peppered in.
So much, you say? Yes, but to our surprise,
it’s also so good.
With former 5-star hotel chefs at the
helm, the portions are generous, well presented and there’s a fine attention
to detail that is consistent in almost
all dishes.
The Spanish style shrimp and
mushroom (RMB88) is a musthave, accompanied by bisque that
bursts with the warmth of rich butter, garlic, chili and fresh herbs.
The Thai beef salad (RMB49) is
first-rate too; warm bits of beef in a
mélange of greens and cherry tomato
are topped with crunchy fried noodles for texture. Tapas dishes like the
avocado and crab on toast (RMB58)
come with a sharp hit of wasabi and
actual crab bits – no frozen stuff here.
For mains, try the Australian wagyu M5
short ribs (RMB328), cooked using sous vide
for a perfect start, or the flame grilled beef
skewers (RMB108), a visual treat that requires a waiter to pour a shot of vodka over
it in a show of flames.
If you want a dish that challenges your
palate, order the French sauerkraut fish
(RMB63). This main, with its pungent, fishy
brine, Sichuan peppers and spoils of seaweed, is not for the faint-hearted.
M9’s Japanese offerings – especially the
tataki dishes and sashimi – are worth a try.
Order the black and white sesame crusted
tuna with sesame sauce and orange slices
(RMB83). It’s clean, simple and with just a
few ingredients, it shines on the plate.
More exotic numbers like the New
Zealand deer hot pot (RMB198/500grams)
may not cater to everyone’s palate, but rest
assured, it appears to be well received – our
neighbors sopped it up like they’d never
seen food before.
With shisha (RMB120) to complete the
night, M9 Mable Nite Club (read: less night
club, more, restaurant and bar) may just be
exactly what the street has longed for –
though its menu could do without the
Chinglish errors.

Urban Pot
A Palatable Miscellany
by Lena Gidwani
W
hen we first heard of Urban
Pot, our minds immediately
conjured up stirring images
of earthy, rustic goodness. We
even went as far as to think that maybe, just
maybe, it might house a dispensary. So after
a long day at work and a maze of traffic, we
rolled in, ablaze with anticipation.
Our first impressions do not disappoint.
Here, the decor is the star; rusty bicycles
from old villages line the ceiling and walls
are covered with images of scooters from
the heyday, flanked by an open style bar. It’s
a chatty room that mingles hanging lanterns
from Vietnam with vintage finds like timeworn mosaic tiles. Sadly, no green foliage, but
all is forgiven.
As you thumb through the menu that offers a baffling range of local bar snacks like
fried wontons (RMB38) and chicken wings
(RMB42), Southeast Asian signatures, pastas,
pastas, steaks, burgers and even Cantonese
flavors, you will likely be reminded that this
is Guangzhou, and here we get all kinds.
Some will see this as a breath of fresh air.
Others will curl their lips at what they view
as a mishmash of magpie
pickings from the global
floor. Us? We’re caught
somewhere between
east and west.
Wondering in which
direction to point our
culinary compass,
we are guided to
Asia, with Hainanese
chicken rice (RMB55).
Though well cooked, the
condiments, rice and
poultry lack those bold
flavors they’re so well
known for, awakening
us to the fact that one
can’t always expect dishes to taste the way
they do in a hawker center in Singapore.
Or can we? The nasi lemak (RMB55),
laksa (RMB50) and beef rendang fare better; for those seeking Nanyang favorites,
these are apt choices and go well with a
dose of pulled tea, also known as teh tarik
(RMB25/30), or Bandung fever (RMB35), a
cold rose and milk cordial.
Fusion food lovers will enjoy Urban Pot’s
pizza varieties; try the canton roast duck
(RMB68) and black pepper crab (RMB88)
pies. But do take heed, as they’re not eaten
the traditional way – you have to fold a slice
(think Peking duck pancakes) and then chow
down.
For a taste of Italy, pastas are decent; try
the truffle oil and mushroom (RMB48) and
pair it with a cold one from the wide selection of drinks. There’s just about
everything liquid to wash down
your meal; juices, draft beers,
bubbly, whiskeys and shots.
This is Party Pier after all,
and in the lyrics of Mason
Jennings’ ‘Drinking as
Religion,’ “it’s drown or
keep drinking.”
The lack of culinary
theme makes it wildly incomprehensible that a menu
can deliver such authenticity, but with its
casual, drop-in attitude, Urban Pot is just
that – urban, with friendly vibes, decent
dishes, drinks and music thrown in for good
measure. And somehow, just somehow, it all
lights up and comes together.
Price: RMB100

Ga Sung Tea Restaurant
Swashbuckler of the South
Text and Photos by Tristin Zhang
T
he beloved home of milk tea and
pineapple buns, cha chaan teng, or
tea restaurants, came into prominence in post World War II Hong
Kong, when British customs permeated the
local population.
As Hong Kongese acquired a taste for
new ‘luxurious’ western delicacies, tea restaurants met the rising demand with a mix
of coffee, milk teas, cakes and sandwiches.
Cantonese dishes, too, remained on the
menu – in case culinary buccaneers lost
heart while skimming through the list of
foreign foods.
Later on, cha chaan teng adopted more
exotic recipes and spicy curries, influenced
by Southeast Asian countries such as
Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand.
Now a common sight in Hong Kong,
Macau, Guangzhou and other southern cities in China, tea restaurants have evolved to
appeal to an even larger consumer base by
adding to the menu an array of flavors from
all over China.
Ga Sung (meaning ‘add dishes’), nestled
self-consciously between big boys the Tavern
and the Brew in Zhujiang New Town, veers
from tradition with its array of Sichuan
specialties. Spicy shrimp (RMB78), Sichuan
poached beef (RMB58) and the famous spicy
and sour, hand-ripped cabbage (RMB38)
promise zesty tongues and nonstop requests
for water.
The Singapore prawns with black pepper
(RMB78), one of Ga Sung’s signature dishes,
bodes a foreign aroma. Yet the prawns have
a novel, stimulating taste that sparks one’s
appetite – well, at least ours.
Inside, oblong tables are paired with
chairs or benches, making the restaurant feel
more like a cafeteria. A cheesy red carpet
extends from the door to the kitchen, where,
through its glass window, a line of roasted
poultry hangs ready to greet customers.
We start with Ga Sung’s
recommendation – the iced
Hong Kong-style milk tea
(RMB28). Served in
a large
glass filled
with crushed ice, the
beverage is subtly sweet and great for warding off Guangzhou’s heat spells.
The roasted goose meat (RMB68, recommended for four people) is satisfyingly tasty
with classic, crunchy skins. A side of sour
prune sauce adds a grease-free aftertaste.
To spice up your meal, try the pork
ribs in scallion oil (RMB58), which are conveniently foil-wrapped at one end. Arriving
smoking and fragrant, the ribs are covered
with fried and diced onions, peppers and, of
course, scallions. They taste as rich as they
appear, but a bit more tenderness would garner high marks.
Though it pursues the same pioneering
spirit as original tea restaurants, Ga Sung
falls short in execution. Its all-Chinese menu
and lackluster flavors hardly compete with
the real deal in Hong Kong. And the location,
well – we’re pretty sure the folks behind
this venture overlooked the type of clientele
hanging around Huajiu Lu.

Go Green
Drinking and Driving
by Lena Gidwani
C
onsidering people can be arrested
for driving a car under the influence, what’s the rule on driving
golf balls while imbibing? Legal, it
would seem, at Go Green.
Occupying some 2,000 square meters
in GT Land Winter Plaza across from the W
Hotel, Go Green is where drinks and food
are served while customers turn into closeted Tigers (or tigresses).
Golf simulators have been with us
since the 1970s, but these state-of-the-art
versions from GolfZon are taking the golf
boom in full swing. 3D-cameras positioned
around the green capture your technique,
while sensors record the speed, direction
and spin of the ball.
One can select weather conditions,
language and even the course they want
to play on; there are over 200 of them,
including the popular Royal and Ancient
Golf Club of St. Andrews in Scotland. And
if you haven’t a clue on how to handle your
ultra-light titanium driver, there are three
coaches that provide lessons at an additional fee.
Towards the end of this luxurious club
you’ll spot a large screen showing the latest standings and a circular bar with an
awesome range of drinks and a smartly
suited, English-speaking bartender.
Unusual, you might think, for a watering
hole to be housed in the midst of an indoor golf club, but this is where those lucrative business deals and contract
signings presumably begin.
For a bar so concealed, its selection of
drinks is superb. The menu features handcrafted cocktails to select wines and everything in between. Le Dome (RMB78) is both
visually and palatably strong; apple wood is
pumped into a glass dome to reveal a smoky
aura that surrounds a glass of tequila, ginger liquor and lime juice, with chocolate
bitters on the side.
On par with Le Dome is GoGreen
No. 1, a must-try that features lots of
green to get you in the swing of things;
refreshing Hendricks gin, lime cordial,
extra dry vermouth and freshly sliced cucumber.
If you’ve had a few swills and are looking to recover your game face, try any of the
top-notch, superbly priced meals – all of
which are delivered directly, whether you’re
swinging or schmoozing. The Tom Yam seafood pasta (RMB54) is a well-seasoned and
spicy mix of spaghetti, prawns and crab. The
French egg sandwich (RMB48) is also great
to wash down those flutes of champagne
you may be popping after a victory on the
green.
In a setting like this, you might expect to
see nightclub bouncers, and they very well
may make an appearance soon as the city’s
bar scene transitions to drinking and driving – figuratively speaking, of course.

any symptoms. Later, however, the ailment may be accompanied by headaches, lightheadedness, vertigo, tinnitus,
altered vision or fainting episodes.
Diagnosis
Based on the Seventh Report of the Joint National
Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation and
Treatment of High Blood Pressure, the classification of
blood pressure for adults aged 18 years or older is as follows:
Once the diagnosis of HTN has
been established, initial laboratory
tests should be done, including CBC,
chest X-ray, urinalysis; fasting blood
glucose or HBA1c; kidney function test,
serum sodium, potassium, creatinine,
glomerular filtration rate (GFR), calcium, lipid panel and EKG. An increase
in cardiovascular risk is associated
with a decreased GFR level and with
albuminuria.
Secondary HTN causes have to be
ruled out, including chronic kidney disThere are two types of hypertension: primary HTN,
which may develop as a result of environmental or genetic ease, coarctation of the aorta, Cushing
causes and accounts for 90-95 percent of adult cases, and syndrome, drug-induced/drug-related
hypertension, Pheochromocytoma,
secondary HTN, which has multiple etiologies including
primary aldosteronism, renovascular
renal, vascular, and endocrine causes and accounts for
hypertension, sleep apnea and thyroid/
2-10 percent of cases.
parathyroid disease.
Workup
Management
The American Heart and American
Stroke Associations recommend lifestyle modification as the first step in
managing hypertension. Everyone
should strive for the following:
Weight loss (systolic BP reduction, 5-20 mmHg per 10 kg)
Limit alcohol intake: no more than
30 ml of ethanol per day for men and
15 ml of ethanol per day for women
(SBP reduction, 2-4 mmHg)
Reduce sodium intake to no more
than 2.4g sodium or 6g sodium chloride (SBP reduction, 2-8 mmHg)
Maintain adequate intake of
dietary potassium, calcium and magnesium.
Stop smoking and reduce intake
of dietary saturated fat and cholesterol.
Aerobic exercise at least 30 minutes daily for most days (SBP reduc-
tion, 4-9 mmHg).
The AHA/ASA recommends a
diet that is low in sodium and includes
fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy
products for reducing BP and lowering
the risk of stroke.
The ESH recommends a lowsodium diet (limited to 5-6g per day)
as well as reducing body-mass index
to 25kg/m2 and waist circumference
(to <102 cm in men and <88 cm in
women).
Medications
If blood pressure is not well controlled by lifestyle modifications, there
are several drug options for treating
and managing hypertension.
Diuretic: thiazides and loop diuretics. Thiazide diuretics are the preferred agents in the absence of compelling indications.
An angiotensin-converting
enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, such as:
Lisinopril, enalapril, captopril, ramipril.
Calcium channel blocker (CCB):
Amlodipine, nifedipine, felodipine.
Beta-blocker: Atenolol,
Acebutolol, Betaxolol, Bisoprolol.
Aldosterone antagonist: spironolactone, eplerenone.

Maison de Henriot
Interview with Brand Manager Sandor Hunyadi
by Jocelyn Richards
T
his month, we talked
with Sandor Hunyadi,
the brand manager of
Maison de Henriot, to
learn more about the esteemed winemaking family that once served bubbly to
the royal courts of Europe and how the brand
is faring in the Chinese market thus far.
When did Henriot wines first enter the
Chinese market and how have they been
received thus far?
Henriot entered the Chinese market
around three years ago, as a Champagne
brand, although the house also owns William
Fevre, Bouchard Pere et Fils and Villa
Ponciago, which have been distributed for
quite a while. Henriot have been received
with great interest and have already built a
reputation and ‘fan’ following among private
and corporate clients as a lesser known,
niche champagne brand.
Which of Henriot’s varieties best suit
entry-level wine consumers?
Most likely the Henriot brut NV (non-vineat / drink | N e w B ars
tage) – its style is quite distinguishable from
other Brut NVs. The house specializes on
making the Chardonnay more dominant in
the final blend, which makes the Champagne
easier to access and enjoy. At the same time
it delivers great complexity and finesse
without being overwhelmingly excessive.
Compared to other common reds on the
mainland, what makes Villa Ponciago
attractive?
Villa Ponciago is a Beaujolais Estate,
which can be traced back to 996 AD,
specializing in Fleurie - a Beaujolais
Premier Cru. It is quintessential
Beaujolais with a Bourgogne wine
making technique. The grapes are
handpicked, have been gently pressed
and 20-30 percent of the juice matured in oak barrels that are one to
four years old to give more texture and
silkiness. The vine is 35 years old on
average.
You have the freshness, fruitiness
and floral nose of classic Beaujolais
with the complexity and layers of good
Burgundy Rouge. The wines offer incredible
flavor profile and complexity for a fraction of
the price of a Burgundy Premier Cru.
When purchasing Henriot brands in
China, how can one be sure the bottles are real?
The one way to make sure is by
purchasing from a reliable retailer
or vendor. Henriot brands are exclusively distributed and imported by
Summergate Fine Wines. The importer
should be listed on the Chinese back
label.
Which famous world leaders
would be sipping these?
Champagne Henriot was
enjoyed by the Austrian and
Hungarian royal courts during the
Austrian-Hungarian Empire period.
Bouchard Pere et Fils have been
a long supplier of French royalty,
and one of the favorite wines of
Napoleon Bonaparte.
Aidesen Grizzly
Un-bear-able
by Matthew Bossons
T
aking up residence next to powerhouse locations like The Tavern and
Social&Co means you have to be at
the top of your game. Sadly, Aidesen
Grizzly is a rookie trying to compete in the big
leagues.
This new bar’s claim to fame is its variety of craft beer hailing from the far-away
city of Tsingtao – also home to China’s
esteemed beer brand. While the suds at
Aidesen Grizzly are substantially better than
Tsingtao’s, however, the hangout fails in a
number of other key areas – namely, its interior design and sparse menu.
For starters, Grizzly’s pub is small, which
wouldn’t normally be a problem, except
that it’s smeared with cheesy wall art and a
washroom with painfully suggestive photos.
The menu doesn’t fare much better.
Aside from being hand-drawn on cardboard,
it’s cursed with food options that can only
be described as basic finger foods. The
beer list (or wine list, as it’s strangely titled
on the menu) is also a wee bit depressing – there are only three options, a
yellow beer (RMB28/pint), weissbier (RMB28/pint) and stout
(RMB32/pint).
While the craft brews are
admittedly good (and cheap),
the bleak atmosphere made
the experience far from
memorable. We’d recommend heading next door
to one of Huajiu Lu’s more
lively establishments.
Price: RMB30
Who’s going: late-night loiterers, Tsingdao
natives
Good for: cheap beer and sexually charged
posters
