15 EDITOR’S LETTER

Wishing you happy Chinese New Year from all of the Talk Magazine team! Our Chinese New Year Issue covers both February and March, seeing you through the holiday period. If you are looking to soak up a bit of Chinese culture this year, look no further than Sichuan’s capital city, Chengdu. Home to the Giant Panda Research Base, and a variety of mouth-tingling Chinese dishes, the rapidly developing city offers a wide-range of activities for tourists and expats alike (pages 6 to 8). Our resident money expert, Bill Longstreet, is holding our hand through the tough times in this issue, and gives us advice about what to do as the markets falls (page 9). We have dining reviews from new restaurants, Pie Society and From A Chinese Cookbook, as well as “second helpings” at CHAR, Wujie and Beef & Liberty, bringing you all the latest F&B gossip from around town (pages 10 and 11). Do you want to make the most of this cold season and

17 journey up to frigid Northern China to see the world famous Harbin Ice and Snow Festival? We think it could be one of the best trips you do this year, and have the lowdown on what to see and where to stay over on our Travel Talk section (pages 12 to 16). If the cold weather doesn’t really capture your fancy, we also have a story about travelling to tropical Sabah in Malaysia. Finally, we have a run down of our favourite hotel bars in the city in this issue’s supplement (pages 17 to 22). As usual, we have the latest hotel news, food and drink deals as well as our essential listings at the back (pages 28 onwards). Now, let’s Talk.

AROUNDTOWN Your news round-up for the month of February & March 2016 Shanghai Disney Resort To Open 16 June 2016 After pushing back the opening date on numerous occasions, Shanghai Disney Resort finally announce their official opening date last month. Major construction of the resort has already been completed, and now follows an extensive preparation period to ensure the resort is fully operational and ready to greet millions of guests by 16 June this year. The theme park will have six themed lands: Adventure Isle, Gardens of Imagination, Mickey Avenue, Tomorrowland, Treasure Cove and Fantasyland, with the Enchanted Storybook Castle.

Shanghai Men Getting Fatter Four in 10 Shanghai men are overweight and one in eight is obese, according to a survey published by the Shanghai Sports Bureau. The proportion of “overweight” men rose to 41 per cent last year, from 38 per cent in a similar study completed in 2010, while the “obese” population increased to 12 per cent from 11 per cent. The research was conducted last year and involved 60,414 males aged between 3 and 69. Men, when reaching for your next bite of hongshaorou remember, “a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the…”

Overseas Students Rise In Shanghai You might have thought that there were a lot more fresh-faced, young laowai in the city recently, and you would be right. Education authorities have confirmed that there has been an increase in the number of overseas students enrolling for degree courses in Shanghai universities, thanks to an increase in English language curriculums. A total of 16,000 overseas students are seeking degrees here, which was up 3.5 per cent from 2014. Students for masters and doctorate programmes increased by more than 12 per cent in 2015 from a year before.

Fireworks Ban To Be Enforced During Spring Festival Since the beginning of January, the city’s authorities have enforced a ban on fireworks inside the Outer Ring Road on all days, and throughout the city during heavily polluted days. Local authorities are working to ensure that the ban sticks during the typically boisterous Chinese New Year period, and will deploy some 20,000 police officers to enforce the new rules. Good luck to them, they are certainly going to need it.

Impermanent Sceneries: Group Exhibition Featuring Hu Weiqi, Sun Yu and Zhang Wenchao @ Art+ Shanghai Gallery

Monkey Pilgrim @ Beaugeste Photo Gallery

A

s a social and ecological documentary on the conditions of an ancestral partnership between man and monkey, with China’s high-speed urban development as backdrop, Monkey Pilgrim is a modern tale of a journey to the dead-end for the vanishing cultural heritage of street performers. These farmers of Henan, monkey breeders and trainers, have been realistically portrayed over a 12 year span by Ma Hongjie, in a captivating portrayal that questions the existential issue of conviviality between man and tamed animal in modern industrialised society, thus questioning our own basic humanity. The exhibition encompassing 40 prints of colour photographs. Monkey Pilgrim runs until March @ Beaugeste Photo Gallery. Studio 519, Building 5, Lane 210 Taikang Lu, near Ruijin Lu. Tel: 6466 9012. Web: www.beaugeste-gallery.com

Materialised Sentiments @ Pearl Lam Galleries

T

his exhibition takes the physical qualities of painting, sculpture and installation works as a starting point, aiming to reveal diverse sentiments that lie in specific choices of material. When material comes to the forefront, it reveals an ever immediate, direct and intimate relationship between object and artist, while concealed within, is a long-standing enquiry into human nature and unforgettable experiences of history that still hold their effects in the present day. As a reaction against the grand narrative of modernism, contemporary art since the 1990s has focused on the ‘small' or microscopic, the everyday, and the sphere of personal experiences, whereas objects or materials have

played an intermediary role, rooted in reality and connected to the vision of freedom and imagination. A panoramic view of time emerges from the ‘smallness’ of materials. Materialised Sentiments runs until 13 March @ Pearl Lam Galleries. G/F, 181 Jiangxi Zhong Lu, near Fuzhou Lu.

I

n the gallery’s first exhibition of 2016, three young Chinese artists present works that stake a perspective, questioning our understanding of Shanghai and expose its inherently fluid nature. With bold combinations of colour highlighting the nervousness, contradictions and absurdity of the mental pressures of the contemporary city in paintings of oil on canvas, Chongqingbased artist Hu Weiqi draws attention to the oxymoronic situation of the saturated vacuum – places chock full of images and eye-catching headlines that are devoid of actual stories – what French theorist Debord defines as a “society of spectacle.” Similarly, Beijing artist Zhang Wenchao’s perception of the city’s rapidly changing content results in a forging of the artist’s memory of urban life, creating a fictionalised version of the city that is real only in virtual reality. His works of painting and projection transform the idea of the city into the besieged fortresses of adventure games, with newly constructed complexes dotting the urban landscape appearing as Tetris-like patterns in oil on canvas, while digital video projection adds ceaseless movement to the vacant painted sceneries. In a close reading of Shanghai’s Da Shijie (ç, Great World) amusement arcade and entertainment complex, Beijing-based artist Sun Yu analyzes the architectural modifications undergone by the 1917 structure over the past century. By visually tracking the large-scale transformations in his works of print and painting, Sun Yu conceptually explores the accompanying shifts in the mentality of China’s consumerist society, which is always in need of ever-more spectacular sceneries. Impermanent Sceneries runs until 28 February @ Art+ Shanghai Gallery. 191 Nan Suzhou Lu, near Sichuan Zhong Lu. Tel: 6333 7223. Web: www. artplusshanghai.com

A

s the capital of Sichuan province, Chengdu is probably most famous for two things: giant pandas and Sichuan peppercorn.

Naturally, the pandas are a must-see when visiting the city, and can be easily accessed at the Chengdu Research Base Of Giant Panda Breeding, on the outskirts of town. With 20 years of experience, and generous funding, this research base offers an excellent, educational insight into the conservation of giant pandas as well as the Chinese government’s international breeding and housing programme. As one of China’s national treasures and important an diplomatic tool, pandas are treated with much respect at the base, even as hoards of tourists pack in to get their own glimpse of the magnificent creatures. We suggest getting there early in the morning and leaving before lunchtime to avoid peak crowds. When it comes to the infamous Sichuan peppercorn, you will be hard pushed to find a Chinese meal without the spiky and mouth-numbing flavouring. If looking for an upmarket, high-quality meal, the Sichuan dishes at

Niccolo Chengdu’s Yue Hin Chinese restaurant, are highly recommended, where the mapo tofu is also an absolute showstopper. Chengdu is developing at a rapid speed, which is benefitting the local economy, and making the city an even more desirable tourist destination. However, local authorities have also placed emphasis on preserving ancient cultural relics, allowing the city to enjoy the juxtaposition of innovative new buildings alongside classic period architecture. A perfect example of a culmination of the two distinct aspects of the city is Taikoo Li. This urban retail area offers a unique mix of retail outlets and F&B chains, set in the context of the Buddhist Daci Temple and woven around a series of lanes, squares, streets, alleyways and courtyards. It is a great location to grab a coffee and wander around the complex, and situated right next door to Niccolo Chengdu. Wenshu Monastery, the best-preserved Buddhist temple in Chengdu, and Wuhou Temple, hailing from the Three Kingdoms period, are two famous historical sites not to be


missed whilst in the city due to their interesting cultural importance and well-preserved architecture. Located within an easy drive from each other, they can be visited in half a day with a brief stop at neighbouring souvenir mecca, Jinli Street – Shanghai’s Tianzifang reincarnated. Finally, no trip to Sichuan would be complete without taking in Sichuan Opera whilst simultaneously eating local hot pot. Da Miao Hot Pot restaurant in Kuanzhai Alley – an attractive array of modern lanes, based on the city’s ancient alleyways and brimming with souvenir stands, tea houses, bars, restaurants and street food stalls – is the perfect location for such an activity. The restaurant is incredibly proud of the fact that they have served royalty and world leaders in their small venue, and the food is tasty, however, service is lacking somewhat. There is a daily show, with an authentic Sichuan Opera face changing performance, and some not so authentic performances hailing from other parts of China. If you are willing to spend a little longer getting acquainted with Sichuan, hop on a bus to Jiuzhaigou Valley National

Park. Although half a day’s journey away from Chengdu, the scenery along the route is glorious, as the road traverses up mountainous peaks and into the bright, colourful and ethnically Tibetan areas in the western section of the province. Offering spectacular panoramas, mystical pools of coloured water, powerful waterfalls and home to over 200 species of birds as well as endangered plants and animals, the valley is the place you fanaticised about when imagining China as a child. As a busy tourist destination, extremely popular with Chinese tourists, the valley is now operated in a way that is reminiscent of a theme park, with guides dressed in fake, local garments, hop-on bus routes along the way and a slick of souvenir stands, it is easy to get disillusioned at first glance. However, don't be disheartened. It is possible to break away from the crowds and explore, on foot, along one of the many tourist trails clinging to the lower edges of the mountains and lake. Just make sure you leave enough time to get out of the park before closing and keep your eyes pealed for those ever elusive giant pandas and golden monkeys.

MONEY TALK

The Markets Are Falling. What Should I Do?

It’s that time again, the markets are correcting… Is it different this time? Every few quarters, we find ourselves running through the same muster drill. Something happens somewhere in the world, the markets go a little crazy, and they sell off a dozen per cent or so of their value. The usual suspects panic. Eventually things stabilise. And everyone wonders what the hell just happened. Post-mortem explanations come along that seem reasonable (after the fact, of course, never before).

Lather, Rinse, Repeat

The phones ring with clients wanting an explanation on the volatility. “What’s going on in the markets, should I get out?” they say. My response is always the same, “You won’t like my answer: This is what markets do, they go up and down, sometimes violently”. As I write, U.S. markets are down about 8% per cent for 2016. European markets are off by about the same amount, and China, whose market crash started the downturn, is down 12 to 15 per cent. Given this week’s surprise, and how it cascaded around the world, it is as good a time as any to discuss what you should, and should not do during a crash. (Cut out this column. Read it again when the next one comes along).

Do take notice of how cyclical the markets are Markets rise and they fall with shocking regularity, as do market corrections and crashes. They may not stick to schedules as tightly as the solar system does, think seasons, sunrise and sunsets, moon phases, even the appearance of comets, but they do move in semi-regular cycles. Between 1950 and 2014, half of all annual periods saw a correction of 10 per cent or worse. From the August highs to the time of print, U.S. markets are down (surprise!) about 10 per cent. Don’t be shocked if in two, four and six years from now, those markets also see a 10 to 20 per cent correction. Bull and bear markets come along on their own timelines, stay for as long as they like, then move on. There is not a whole lot you can do about it, except recognise that it happens.

Don’t react emotionally Do not give in to your gut, which might cause a momentary lapse in judgment. Remember, your “flight or fight response” is what causes that knot in your stomach, sweaty palms, accelerated breathing and elevated heart rate. The discomfort is a feature, not a bug. This agitation is supposed

to crank up your body and make it ready to react to danger. It would do a terrific job keeping you alive during a war, but works against you in the capital markets.

Do stick with your plan Adrenaline is not the basis of sound portfolio management. The reason you made a long-term plan in the first place is because you do not need access to the money you’ve invested in the next year (or the years after) but decades from now. In 2025, you will not care what the market did in January 2016. The short term always seems to get in the way of the long term. I’ve heard countless stories from investors who panicked out of the market in the March 2009 lows and never found their way back in. They missed out on a huge climb in value. That’s not sticking to a plan, and it’s not what good financial planning looks like.

Do notice your own state of mind Are you agitated, freaked out, stressed? Is the market keeping you up at night? Notice the subtle difference between reacting emotionally to external stimuli and that nagging feeling that you forgot something important. At times, your body may be telling you something. Is your portfolio in sync with your own risk tolerance? Are you carrying more exposure to high-risk assets than you are comfortable with? Have your circumstances changed but your portfolio has not? Try to be perceptive to when your subconscious is trying to get you to notice something. It could be important.

Don’t take action while in a state of discomfort Decisions made to “stop the pain” are the ones you eventually regret. The time for action is when you are in a thoughtful and calm state of mind. Any significant financial decision you make should be circumspect, carefully considered and according to plan. If you are merely reacting to the latest market moves, then what you have is not a plan, you have an instinctual, fear-driven reaction, and it’s the makings of a disaster. Do notice the panic around you. Watch the reactions and overreactions of the guests on financial television. How emotional and strident are they? Can you see them sweating? There was a time during the great financial crisis when I could tell how much the market was down that day merely by listening to the commentators on Bloomberg

Bill Longstreet or CNBC. There is a feedback loop from markets to TV anchors and back. See if you can spot it (just don’t become affected by it).

Don’t try to time the markets You lack the skill, the discipline and the ability. Even if you get lucky, it’s just dumb luck, and serendipity is likely to encourage you to engage in even more reckless and foolish behaviour in the future. The odds of you jumping out on time and getting back in are stacked against you. Do look for signs of capitulation. Market bottoms are made when a critical mass of investors fold, throw in their cards and panic sell. See if you can spot the moment when everyone finally cries “uncle”.

Don’t confuse the short term for the long term The day-to-day action is noise, unless you are an active trader doing this for a living. You will lose money treating investments like trades and vice-versa. Do have a sense of humour about this. My favourite thought on this came from a fund manager, who, in the midst of a nasty sell-off, was asked by a fellow trader how he was doing. “Sleeping like a baby,” he calmly replied. “Really? Given this crazy market, how can you sleep like a baby?” the first trader asked. “It's easy!” he said. “I wake up screaming every two hours, wet myself and cry for Mommy.” That sort of gallows humour is typical on Wall Street. But if you follow the good advice above, you can sleep soundly, knowing your portfolio is working for you.

New & Noted Pie Society

Nyima Pratten

What: Great British Pies Where: Rm 102, Bldg 5, 67 Xingfu Lu, near Fahuazhen Lu. Tel: 6214 6992. Web: www.piesociety.co Why: Because, up until now, the UK didn’t have many culinary offerings to boast about in the city

T

alk Magazine first featured Pie Society almost two years ago, in our “Alternative Eats” section,

and we are delighted this month to note that the company has a fully-fledged F&B venue. Pie Society first made their debut onto the Shanghai foodie scene by hosting pop-up events around the city, and ever since then, Jane Siesta has been working hard to make her dream of opening her very owe pie shop in Shanghai a reality. We were already taken with the flaky, crispy, baked pastry and rich flavours a few years ago, and Siesta has continued

to produce scrumptious pies, using high quality flours and fats, as well as adding a variety of flavours, including seasonal offerings over the festive period, which we hope to see more of in the future. There are currently eight different pie varieties on offer in store, and available for take away, including two vegetarian options, priced at a very reasonable RMB 48 per pie. There are also five classic sides available at RMB 12 each, or four super sides, including the quintessentially British chips with curry sauce, for RMB 25 each. We suggest going for a “Bee Cheese” minced beef with cheddar, mozzarella, carrots and peas pie, accompanied by minty mushy peas, or “HenHao” chicken, leek and mushroom, with cream and wine pie, accompanied by sweet potato mash. Alternatively, if you really can’t make up your mind, ask Siesta for a suggestion, or get her to surprise you with a combination. Also available in store, and for delivery, are “bangers”, or sausages for those not familiar with the UK’s gastronomic vocabulary. Served with gravy and shallots, the sausages (RMB

From A Chinese Cookbook

20 for one or RMB 38 for two) can be paired with the various sides to round out a plate. Muffinwiches are also on the menu, and are Siesta’s take on the infamous McDonald’s breakfast offering (from RMB 18 and served until 5pm). Located in the heartland of the Jiaotong University area, this place is a little out of the way for some, but in our opinion well worth a visit. The cosy store is bright and airy, and set in an up-and-coming commercial area. Although the store is small, Siesta’s warmth and personality shines through and makes it a very comfortable place to spend time digging into a variety of pies. Builder’s Tea, coffee and craft beers are also available. In the springtime, it will be possible to eat out on the small patio in front of the store, but for now, we will make do with huddling indoors.

fter closing its previous Chinese concept, Y2C2, at the same location, VOL Group have reworked their Chinese dining concept and have come back stronger than ever with the influence of Jereme Leung. For those who are not familiar with Chef Leung, he was the chief judge on Shanghai Dragon TV’s Master Chef Season Two, and as such, has quite a following in the city. After starting his career in Hong Kong, working around the world, and eventually moving to Mainland China in 2003, he is respected for being an expert in all four schools of Chinese cooking; dim sum, barbecue, wok cooking and knife work. Chef Leung is said to carry his secrets and techniques in a mysterious, wellworn cookbook that he has taken with him as he travelled through China for the past 30 years, which inspired the VOL Group’s restaurant name and choice of dishes from across the country.

high-end Chinese dining locations.

With the interior designed by Kookai, the decoration and ambience of the restaurant is sophisticatedchic, but not pretentious, and even though the restaurant is still only in soft opening mode, it was already packed with local diners on our visit. With floor-to-ceiling windows lining one side of the venue, looking out towards Lujiazui, we were immediately impressed upon entrance. Service was also faultless throughout dinner, with English speaking staff and a foolproof English iPad menu, which is sometime lacking when visiting other

We started our meal with osmanthus, rose petals and slow-cooked lotus root filled with purple rice (RMB 58). It was a fragrantly flavoured dish that didn’t go overboard on sweetness. Next, brought to our table with much panache, was the house specialty, an array of Chinese cold dishes (RMB 478), served on ice included drunken live shrimps in a savoury garlic soy sauce (you can’t get fresher than that), raw roe crab marinated in the chef 's secret recipe (spoiler alert: baijiu – and we loved it), Teochew style chilled flower crab and imported oysters with Oriental inspired sauces. We then moved on to slow-cooked beef short ribs with a tangy orange marmalade (RMB 368). Beautifully plated, this tender dish stole the show for us. We also sampled the rose apple and pork duo of

sweet sour spicy sauce (RMB 88), which was cooked in the Cantonese style, with a crispy batter, and reminded us of a very sophisticated version of sweet and sour pork slung in the West. Next up was the seared highland cold-water bass and pickled vegetables (RMB 188), an unadulterated way to eat the pure fish, which was said to come from Xinjiang. We ended our meal with lemongrass jelly, peach jelly and aloe vera (RMB 38), which played on textures and subtly sweet tastes. The house specialty, black gold egg custard buns (RMB 38) were crafted to perfection and are absolutely not to be missed. Worth a trip down to Cool Docks on their merit alone. Although the price tag may seem a little steep for some dishes, the restaurant is bang for your buck in terms of service standard, location and the wide range of Chinese dishes on offer from around the country. It is convenient to order and a classy venue to sample Chinese food and impress your friends, a date or out-oftown visitors.

s one of our New Year’s resolutions, we decided to commit to reducing our red meat intake and cut down on our carbon footprint. As such, we decided it was time to revisit one of our favourite vegetarian restaurants in the city, which places a high emphasis on promoting a plantbased lifestyle, whilst working with local farmers and producers to source the best, most environmentally friendly produce from around the country.

We visited the beautifully designed restaurant in Xuhui, opposite the park, where the natural muted colour palette, with wooden accents, reflects the adjacent scenery, and offers a tranquil start to dinner. We selected a variety of cold dishes from the interactive iPad menu, including our favourite dish of the evening, golden oyster mushroom and king oyster mushroom with peanut chilli sauce (RMB 56), which packed the punch of any good Sichuan dish. We also enjoyed the creatively served

lentillifera seaweed with a vinaigrette dressing (RMB 78), where the strands of seaweed were hung over a fork, dangling into the vinaigrette below. The braised organic lotus seed and ginger paste (RMB 78), was also a sweet and interesting palate cleanser. For the main dishes, we enjoyed deepfried lotus root with soya bean sauce (RMB 58), and stir-fried apricot abalone mushroom with spicy vegetarian seafood sauce (RMB 58), which both proved hearty replacements to the typical meat dishes

The interesting combinations, such as beetroot and sea salt, spinach and wheatgrass or our favourite, purple cabbage and dark chocolate, ended the alternative meal on a high. If the Xuhui location is not convenient for you, the company now has two other venues in Shanghai, on the Bund and in Lujiazui, as well as restaurants in Nanjing, Hangzhou and a brand new venue in Suzhou, making it that much easier to be environmentally aware.

CHAR

his restaurant really needs no introduction, being recognised internationally as one of the best steakhouses in Shanghai, so we were more than eager to sample the new menu, and seasonal specialities, from new Head Chef Willmer Colmenares. The supreme quality and authenticity of the meat is what sets this steakhouse apart from the rest, and it takes pride in serving Wagyu, Black Angus and grass-fed beef from some of the world's most renowned cattle ranches, with the restaurant boasting 11 different steak offerings. We were lucky enough to be able to appreciate the beautiful marbling, colour and texture of our cuts when Chef Colmenares brought them to be inspected by the table before grilling. Latin American Chef Colmenares has taken inspiration from the cuisine of Asia, the Mediterranean as well as his native homeland when rounding out his menu to complement the steaks. These innovative dishes, with their multitude of tastes and textures, add depth to the meaty menu, and showcase seasonal, as well as imported, produce. We began our meal with a selection of indulgent “accompaniments” to our main fare. The smoked Wagyu beef carpaccio (RMB 158) was a melt-in-the-mouth affair, complimented by freshly flaked Parmesan, rocket and black garlic puree. Moving from turf to surf for a few dishes, we also sampled Chef Colmenares new, innovative lobster and salmon ceviche (RMB 188), with the seafood being cured

DINING

by a coconut and lime emulsion and served with an avocado sorbet. The smoked octopus salad (RMB 138) followed. Smoked at a low temperature, the octopus meat was cooked to perfection. Seared scallops (RMB 188), which were fresh and sweet with a slight kick from ginger and chilli notes, finished our sojourn from beef. The roasted bone marrow (RMB 178) was brought to the table just before the showstopper of the evening. Served with the bone shooting skywards, apparently in homage to the Shanghai skyline, the rich flavour whetted our appetite for more. Naturally, steak must be ordered when visiting CHAR, and diners are given a wide variety of options from the type of meat, to the cut and then the cooking style. We shared a selection of imported cuts from the menu, but our standout dish was the ever-so-tender Australian Jack’s Creek grain fed Black Angus sirloin marble score 3+ (RMB 438 for 250g eye fillet or 300g sirloin). This beef had been grain fed for 150 to 170 days on a specifically formulated high energy grain diet, before being cooked medium rare and delivered to our table by knowledgeable wait staff. We could actually taste the attention to detail paid at every step of the process, which made each bite all the more enjoyable. To end the meal on a sweet note, we sampled the apple tarte tatin (RMB 98), flambéed tableside, the new spicy hot chocolate fondant (RMB 78) and the berries and apple crumble (RMB 78), which all come highly recommended.

A

fter being rebranded from the much-loved Gourmet Café, the restaurant made its mark on the Shanghai F&B scene in 2013 for beef patties hailing from Australia, where they is certified 100% Black Angus, which are ground in-house twice a day. Now, almost three years on, we went back for second helpings and found that if the concept ain’t broke, there is no need to fix it. Beef & Liberty continue to grill their hefty, medium rare burgers and pack them with a variety of different toppings before placing them between custombaked white rolls (from RMB 75). Their mouthwatering burgers are some of the best, and juiciest we have tasted in the city. Along with the standard burger order, we also sampled the restaurant’s new sticky BBQ pork ribs (RMB 68), made from USA pork, slow braised in the oven and slathered in house BBQ sauce. The meat fell away from the bones as we ate, and we dipped every remaining morsel of meat in the excess BBQ sauce. The standout burger for us on this trip was the seasonal beetroot and goat’s cheese burger (RMB 72), which is unfortunately only available until the end of February. This 100% vegetarian burger is made from shredded beetroot,

brown rice, kidney beans, cumin, chilli and coriander and topped with goat’s cheese. The moist patty is rich in flavour, you could almost believe that it was meat, and helped us stick to our healthy living New Year’s resolution. Although this particular patty’s swan song is brief, the seasonal menu is changed every six weeks, so we hope to see some other strong vegetarian offerings in the future. We finished off our meal on a high, a sugar high to be exact, with a warm skillet cookie and cream (RMB 58). The cookie comes to the table steaming hot, and served in a skillet, before cream is generously poured on top. The cookie doubled in size as the cream was absorbed, and almost reached the brim of the pan, as we worked to quickly heap spoonfuls of the sinful treat into our mouths to avoid a cookie breach. This is one dessert that is not to be missed. February-March16  TalkMagazine

H

arbin was once merely a rural fishing village, but a prosperous period in the late 1800s, as a result of the Chinese Eastern Railway and an influx of engineers from the Russian Empire who chose to settle in the rapidly developing city, helped it flourish into one of the most important cities in Northern China. Although most of the one-time Russian inhabitants have long left the city, there is still a touch of Russian charm lingering on in the form of heritage architecture and Russian-inspired cuisine. Visiting the city during the winter months can be perilous, with temperatures dropping to -30°C at times, so it is essential to be prepared with warm clothing and cosy accommodation to stave off the chill. Although sometimes uncomfortable, the benefits of visiting the city during this period far outweigh the shortcomings, as the city is blanketed in pure white snow and tourists can partake in seasonal activities, such as ice skating, skiing and visiting the Ice and Snow Festival. No trip to Harbin is complete without a visit to Zhongyang Road, the city’s pedestrianized central street and the pride and joy of locals, thanks to its exotic European architecture, courtesy of long-gone Russian inhabitants. Once dubbed “Eastern Moscow”, this is the perfect place to sip on a hot chocolate in one of the Russian cafes or slurp nourishing borscht in one of the Russian eateries. If you don’t feel like sampling Russian cuisine, or the many fusion Chinese dishes, head for a traditional Dongbei restaurant for authentic, hearty fare, characterised by warming soups and heavy noodles to banish the chill. If you are feeling adventurous, and ready to take on the cold weather like a true local, we highly recommend visiting the Old Dongbei

Hot Pot Ice House at Wanda Realm, where guests eat their hot pot inside a building made purely from ice, which is attached to the side of the hotel. Although the temperature in the restaurant is below freezing, guests are given a hot water bottle to sit on and can enjoy adding frozen vegetables and meats into the traditional Manchu-style boiling hot pot (from RMB 258 per set). There are plenty of activities to keep visitors in the city entertained throughout the day. St. Sophia Cathedral was originally built from timber at the beginning of the 1900s, just after the completion of the Trans-Siberian Railway, connecting Vladivostok to Northeastern China. A few decades later, as the Russian population swelled to 100,000 the Orthodox Cathedral was renovated into the structure still standing today. Although slightly rundown, it is a beautiful piece of architecture, and tells the story of the city’s vibrant history. While only a handful of Russians are now left in the city, Harbin still clings onto their heritage with an icy grip, and nowhere is this clearer than at Volga Manor. This vast manor evokes scenes of the Russian countryside, with its Russian buildings and token Russian white faces going about stereotypical activities such as painting the faces on Russian dolls or baking Russian bread for the Chinese tourists. Good for a half-

day trip, the manor has a themed restaurant and sauna as well as a handful of tame, artificial ski slopes. A visit to the Harbin Beer Museum, and a sip of the freshest Harbin beer available, is the perfect way to end an afternoon. Founded in 1900, it is at the site of China’s oldest brewery, which was originally started by an enterprising German citizen of Polish origins who realised that there was money to be made by supplying beer to the Russians working on the Trans-Siberian Railway project. After a particularly fraught history of being passed backwards and forwards throughout political upheavals, and after substituting brewing with rice for brewing with corn during a famine in the 1960s, the brewery eventually found its way into the hands of the Chinese Government. In the evening, the only place to be seen at is the Harbin Ice & Snow Festival. Now in its 17th year, the silk route is the theme for the Ice and Snow World, which is situated in the outskirts of town. Life-sized buildings, created entirely from ice, are modelled around famous landmarks from each country along the route, and are lit up during the evening by strategically placed strands of LED lights, frozen inside the sculptures. Hitch a ride on a horse-drawn sleigh to see the best of the park in comfort, or scramble up one of the ice buildings to slide right back down to the bottom again on a plastic sleigh. A magical venue for both children and adults alike - just be sure to keep warm!

Where To Stay: Wanda Realm Harbin

One of the newest five star luxury hotels on the block, this Chinese hotel brand proves that through its superior service, high standards and top-class facilities, it can compete with the big brand names in this crowded industry.

W

anda Realm is part of the Wanda Hotels & Resorts brand and boasts “unforgettable hospitality based on traditional Chinese culture”. This core value is clearly evident upon entry into Wanda Realm Harbin’s lobby, with its grand oriental design and attentive, English-speaking staff. The hotel brand also claims that their memorable oriental cuisine takes guests on a taste journey through China, and this the Harbin hotel, in our opinion, goes above and beyond in order to create memorable dining experiences, such as the Old Dongbei Ice House Hot Pot. Wanda Realm Harbin is ideally located adjacent to the Haxi Wanda Plaza, and within close proximity to Harbin West Railway Station and only 25 minutes from Harbin Taiping International Airport by car. The hotel boasts 345 magnificent guestrooms and suites, which are designed for incomparable comfort and pleasure. From small occasions to grand banquets, Wanda Realm Harbin offers a superlative culinary experience in its sophisticated range of Chinese, Japanese and international restaurants and bars, all of which offer live music, and foreigner-

Most importantly, the spectacular 1,270 square metre pillarfree Grand Ballroom boasts a 77 square metre LED screen, the largest of its kind in Harbin city.

Although many foreigners may be unfamiliar with the Wanda Hotels & Resorts brand, it is a Chinese-owned luxury hotel management company incorporating hotel ownership, hotel operation and sales ventures, and is dedicated to delivering attentive customer service and the very best of Chinese culture to global travellers. The brand is also soon to become international, with

its scheduled launch of Wanda Vista Hotels in London, followed by openings in the USA and Australia, so it is a brand name that international travellers will become very familiar with over the coming years. To date, the group has launched three premium five-star hotel brands: fivestar Wanda Realm; upscale five-star Wanda Vista; and premium luxury Wanda Reign, all under the umbrella of Wanda Hotels & Resorts. By the end of 2016, the group will own 98 fivestar hotels across China, including 41 hotels and resorts managed by over ten international hotel brands, and 57 owned and managed hotels. A new brand, Wanda Jin, will also launch in 2016. By the end of 2020, Wanda Hotels & Resorts plans to own and manage over 160 hotels around the world. So it really is time to get acquainted with the new standard of Chinese luxury hotel brands, and there is no better time than during the Ice and Snow Festival at Wanda Realm Harbin.

Island Hop In Kota Kinabalu The territory’s capital, KK, as it is affectionately known to those who love it here, is famous among backpackers for its rugged mountain ascent. But an earthquake in 2015 has stopped climbers just short of the summit, so tourists have turned to the ocean. Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park, a collection of five coral islands just off KK’s coast, offers several days worth of beach-based fun. Manukan, one of the more developed islands, offers a jungle trek to the tip of the tiny landmass where stunning views will transport you far from jetty’s crowd of snorkelers. A visit to the largest (and quietest) island, Gaya, merits a trip, if only to zipline over the waters separating it from the livelier Sapi.

Meet Orangutans In Sepilok

These primates live only in Borneo and Sumatra, but their numbers have declined by over 50 per cent to endangered levels since the mid-century. Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre opened in 1964 to help baby primates who had been orphaned by logging, hunting and forest fires. Today, around 60 of the great apes roam freely in the centre, which stretches over 43 square kilometres into virgin forest. Visitors can usually spot them, along with macaque monkeys and other wildlife, at the twice-daily feedings or by visiting the nursery where the newlyorphaned orangutans are taught to climb on an adorable jungle gym. Across the street from Sepilok is the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre. You may never have heard of these miniature arboreal bears, but the centre is worth a visit if you’ve come all the way to Sepilok.

Cruise The Jungle On Kinabatangan River

Logging and clearing land for palm oil plantations near the banks of the Kinabatangan River has hemmed in many of the rare wildlife that call this area home, exposing the animals to tourists who cruise up and down the river on speedboats. Officially a bird sanctuary, this river (the

longest in Sabah) is home to all eight species of hornbill native to Borneo, as well as kingfishers, egrets, eagles and elderly European tourists with highpowered binoculars. If ornithology isn’t your thing, there’s plenty more wildlife to observe – from adorable Bornean gibbon apes and nasally-endowed proboscis monkeys to creeping monitor lizards and creepy saltwater crocs – but most people come for a glimpse of the very rare pygmy elephants.

Dive Deep In Sipadan

Despite consistently ranking among the top 10 dive sites in the world and being called “an untouched piece of art” by Jacques Cousteau, Pulau Sipadan is relatively deserted. Kidnappings by Filipino pirates in the area over the past decade have scared away divers who would otherwise love to be submerged in what feels like a life-sized fish tank. The local government has heeded international travel warnings, staffing

all resorts in the area with overnight police officers armed with machine guns and imposing a mandatory night time curfew enforced by military boats on the waters. Is it worth it? If you’re looking for breath taking underwater action in the form of tornadoes of barracuda, schools of hammerheads, lazy sea turtles with wingspans that could hug a Volkswagen and rainbow-colored pygmy seahorses as big as your pinky nail, then definitely.

Where To Stay: Seaventures Divers are only allowed on Sipadan during the day, but Pulau Mabul just 15 minutes away by boat hosts most overnight guests and has some excellent dive spots of its own. Located just offshore of Mabul is Seaventures, a decommissioned oilrig, refurbished for divers. More than just unique accommodation, the PADI-certified outfit offers

training for new divers (or those looking to up their qualifications) and schedules its divers to see the best parts of Sipadan and Mabul during their stay. Don’t miss a night dive under the rig – since its relocation to Mabul in 1997, the rig’s metal legs have become an underwater ecosystem unto itself. Web: www.seaventuresdive.com
