Thailand The paradise country has lush greenery and breathtaking mountain views. Northern Thailand is a good option for getting hitched. The seasonal monsoon season, between June to February, makes it all the more beautiful for a celebration in the outdoors. A beach wedding fits perfectly in Hua Hin, or at one of Thailand’s many southern islands. Phuket, for instance, offers diverse locales ranging from Ko Yao Noi, Ko Racha and Ko Phi Phi—all accessible through Phuket’s international airport. Ko Samui, along with Krabi island’s dramatic limestone cliffs, come to a close second after Phuket for the much-loved wedding destination. If you are looking for a destination with historical and cultural significance, look no further than Sukhothai. The province boasts 13th- and 14th-century palaces and temples that are known for their classic architectural style. Further North, the twin cities of Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai are also known for their unique Lanna Thai wedding experience. The most popular option is to go for a traditional Thai Buddhist-style wedding, which is led by monks from a local temple in the early hours of the morning. Any other kind of religious and non-religious ceremony can be 10 | M ALIND OM AG | JUNE 2 018

Therefore, it is imperative to supplement our body with antioxidants. Antioxidants help to ward off cell damaged by removing waste products called free radicals. In addition to a decreased production of collagen, our existing collagen is also prone to be destroyed by the effects of free radicals building up toxicity in our system as a result of unhealthy diet, stress and cosmetic contamination, thus finally causing damages to the skin.

A box of Clarel’s Yoghurt Powder Supplement consists of 30 sachets. Each sachet contains 3500 mg of antioxidant with usage within 30 days. Clarel’s powder is formulated together with Blackcurrant Yoghurt flavouring best taken on an empty stomach, either in the morning before breakfast or at night before bed. The extracted powder form helps to optimize absorption and utilization of nutrients. In addition, powdered supplements has an absorption rate of 90-98% compared to pills, which is only about 10-20%. 95% of customers experience changes in their skin complexion with freckles fading away as early as 7 days after consuming. When you consume Clarel’s consistently for 3 consecutive months, skin health is optimized and protected against natural skin problems. Free radicals and toxin are removed, antioxidant levels are enhanced, new skin cells production take place and dead skin cells are removed. Our skin cells will then be healthier, refined and reproduce, since the body’s antioxidant levels are abundant thus becoming the natural skin defence system. Lastly, freckles (black spots) are removed as collagen and glutathione production is stimulated.

Popular actress Anzalna Nasir is a household name in Malaysia as she appears in drama series, big screen and commercials. Anzalna’s career took off when she played a role in “Suria di Cordoba” in 2011. Upon that break-through, she began playing assorted antagonist roles in local dramas like “Adam dan Hawa” and “Destinasi Cinta Sara” which brought her tremendous success as the roles highlighted her undeniable talent. She is known for her versatility, and her bubbly and happy-go-lucky character that perfectly fits some of her roles she plays in the TV series and in reality. Anzalna comes from Penang and is the second child among five siblings. Besides playing leading roles in local TV series and drama, she has also acted in few local films like “Sepah the Movie,” “Kahwin 5” and “Tyickoom.” As Hari Raya or Eid Al-Fitr is drawing near, the bubbly actress is excited to celebrate the festive season that comes with delicious local food, getting prepped up with traditional Raya outfits and the many get-togethers with family, relatives and friends. “My favourite part is going back to my hometown in Penang and meeting all my relatives and friends and enjoying all the Raya traditional cuisines like ketupat, lemang, ayam masak merah and all the yummy cookies, said Anzalna during an interview with MalindoMag. “I also decorate the house with lights and other Raya decorations to welcome guests to the house on the auspicious day. On the first day, I will help my grandmother with all the cooking before getting ready and sitting down with the family to enjoy the feast. Anzalna travels a lot for her shoots locally and in overseas and have flown in Malindo Air. “The service is impeccable as the stewardess are very attentive and gracious to the passengers. I also enjoy the spacious leg room space in Malindo Air,” added the actress. Besides acting, she also paints and sells her handiwork whereby the proceeds go to the less fortunate. Anzalna, who started painting since eight, already has 10 pieces in her collection, but has yet to determine the prices for each of her paintings.

A Shore Thing: Bali vs Phuket If you are planning a beach getaway in Indonesia or Thailand, Bali and Phuket are sure to have grabbed your attention. Gorgeous ocean views, luxurious resorts, exciting nightlife, and warm hospitality â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is no wonder these islands attract over 10 million visitors every year! With over sixty stunning beaches between them, you cannot go wrong with either escape. Nevertheless, the discerning traveller should consider the delicate differences between Bali and Phuket.

18 | M ALIND OM AG | M AY 2 018

VOYAGE | BALI VS PHU K ET

BALI The Indonesian province of Bali includes its namesake island and several smaller ones that surround it. Bali’s laidback and spiritual vibes are what attract visitors to the quaint island paradise. Balinese cuisine utilises indigenous traditions and influences from other Indonesian and regional cuisines, such as Chinese and Indian flavours, showcasing a variety of local spices making it a hit among locals and visitors alike. Home to most of Indonesia’s Hindu minority, Bali is known as the ‘Island of the Gods’. Renowned for beautiful Balinese architecture, it is estimated 10,000 to 20,000 temples are scattered across the province. Uluwatu Temple in Pecatu is built on a cliff over looking the sea. Every night crowds gather at the temple to watch over one hundred men perform fire dance based on the epic poem of Ramayana. The dance is known as the ‘Kecak’, a name that imitates the sound of their chants. Volcanic hillsides and mountain ranges on the island are also well worth exploring. Ubud, the cultural heart of Bali, is a cool central mountain escape well-known for its arts, markets, and peaceful rice paddy fields. Further north, Pura Besakih or The Mother Temple of Besakih, is a temple complex perched nearly 1000 meters up the side of Mount Agung. At just over 3,000 meters, this volcano is Bali’s highest point.

However, unlike Bali, if you are looking for a cultural show you will not find it at a temple. Luckily, you can feast your eyes on colourful performances at the ‘Siam Niramit Phuket’. The elaborate stage show covers Thailand’s history and culture and features over 100 actors and 500 costumes!

PHUKET Thailand’s second smallest province, Phuket consists of the country’s largest island, Phuket Island, and 32 smaller islands off its coast. Although the province is a tenth of the size of Bali, do not let size fool you –the island is filled with adventure. Its colourful nightlife attracts visitors looking for excitement, while its peaceful beaches and mountains are great for relaxing. Covered with charming SinoPortuguese heritage buildings, Phuket Town is a food haven waiting 2 0 | M ALIND OM AG | JUNE 2 018

to be explored. The town’s local menu and delicious fare has earned it a spot on UNESCO’s ‘World’s Leading Cities of Gastronomy’ list. Cultural influences from its trading port are reflected in its cuisine including a mix of Thai, Malay, Chinese and Portuguese which makes up Phuket’s Peranakan or Baba cuisine – a similar mix to that of Malacca’s in Malaysia. Beautiful Buddhist temples dot the province’s shores such as the Big Buddha Phuket, a magnificent 45-metre tall marble statue, which sits upon Nakkerd Hills with an unbeatable panorama of the south.

VOYAGE | EXCITIN G GUAN GZH O U

Guangzhou

uangzhou, once better known to Westerners as Canton, is Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s busiest transport and trade hub and the third-largest city in China. The giant metropolis is home to both gleaming towers and lush alleys, and its history as a strategic trade port to the South China Sea has afforded it a colonial background and culturally diverse population that combine to give Guangzhou a cosmopolitan flair. From its early days as an inland port, Guangzhou has developed into the future without losing sight of the past. This is where you will find skyscrapers sitting happily next to ancient temples; where you can eat in grand restaurants one night and the next graze on Cantonese dim sum in little hole-in-the-wall cafes; where 24 | M ALIND OM AG | JUNE 2 018

The landmark of Guangzhou, the Canton Tower rises up to almost 600 meters and illuminates the scenery with colorful lights in the evening. It was briefly the tallest tower in the world and includes coffee shops, restaurants, observation decks, and rides for the adrenaline junkies.

Cantonese Cuisine

With a time-honored history, Guangzhou has a wide variety of local foods, among which the most famous dish is dim sum. If you are invited for a Cantonese “morning tea” or “yum cha,” do not be disappointed that your hosts are just offering tea, because they are actually offering you the best of Cantonese food along with Chinese tea. Dim sum means “a little bit of heart” and thus usually come in small portions, and have many different types. The main ones are dumplings with various fillings, noodles and rice noodles - fried and in soup, steamed meat, vegetables, porridge, buns, rice noodle rolls, pastries and sweet soups

competitive price, for foreigners and local Chinese alike. There are quite a number of wholesale markets in the city, ranging from electronic products to clothes, shoes, accessories, bags and suitcases and many others. If you are not up for wholesale, it is also a retail centre. Shopping centres and streets provide loads of options at very attractive prices.

Baomo Garden

Located in Panyu, about an hour away from the Guangzhou city center, Baomo Garden is a fine example of Southern Chinese architecture and art of gardening. Baomo Garden was originally built at the end of Qing dynasty, but unfortunately destroyed in the 1950s. A few years later, its reconstruction began and the garden is now back to its former glory.

Baiyun Mountain

The Baiyun Scenic Area with 30 mountain peaks, the highest of which is 382 meters (1,253 ft.) above sea level, is a chance to escape the bustling city life and breathe in some fresh air. It becomes crowded on holidays, but on weekdays it is possible to enjoy the quiet climb up the stairs. For a beautiful view of the city, a cable car can be taken up to the Peak Park.

Temple of the Six Banyan Trees

The Buddhist temple was originally built by the orders of Emperor Wu in 537. Later in Northern Song Dynasty when it was rebuilt, it was renamed according to a poem by Su Shi. The main structure inside the temple is the nine-story Flower Pagoda with a colorful exterior worthy of its name. JUNE 2 018 | M ALIND OM AG | 25

CO NNECT | FEAST : A K IR A BACK

With every restaurant starting from the roadside eateries to the swanky ones serving out some finger-licking grub, it is difficult to pinpoint the best place to find South East Asian food in Bangkok. But Akira Back’s newest offering at the Marriott Marquis does so with an effortless ease. The Korea-born American chef’s flagship outlet in Thailand opened late last year and is already enthralling guests with some of his famous creations. Located on the 37th floor of the hotel, it is steeped in luxury with a magnificent view of the bustling city below. Done up in colours of black and gold, neoclassical arches made out of Shinto ropes give the restaurant an uberluxurious feel. There’s also a Sushi and Omakase Bar for those who prefer the modern American style of Japanese dining. Born as Soong Ook Back in Seoul, Akira’s first love was actually baseball when he migrated to America. After a stint in snowboarding, his culinary dreams were ignited and he started as a Sushi Chef after attending culinary school in Colorado. He opened his first restaurant at the Bellagio in Las Vegas and was awarded a Michelin Star for his restaurant DOSA in Seoul. His latest venture features some of his signature dishes bringing together the Korean, Japanese and American cuisines in a true East meets West style. The menu is a collection of plates

both hot and cold. Although Chef Back’s flavours are characteristically Japanese, a few Western elements do put their hands up at the correct time. The popcorn tofu brings together the silken texture along with sriracha sauce and a ranch dressing, a throwback to his upbringing in Colorado. There is also the AB taco, a Taco filled with a Bulgogi made with the rare Wagyu beef combined with the citrusy hit of roasted tomatoes and some ponzu. The Korean roots of the Chef Akira comes through with quite a few of curry based dishes. The Grilled Alaskan king crab introduces the sweet meat of the crab with a dynamite sauce that gives it an explosive, spicy flavour. One of the dishes that you must try out is the AB tuna pizza. Although I would not call it a traditional pizza, it is a mouthful of flavours that you would not forget soon. Thin slices of freshly cut tuna are laden on top by an umami flavoured aioli. The best way to end a meal at Akira Back is delicate yet intricate beehive: a meringue which is broken open to reveal a tangy lime custard inside. Lovers of chocolate will appreciate the pillow: a cornucopia of a chocolate sorbet paired with an earl gray mousse which adds a hit of bitterness to it along with a splattering of some chocolate soil, morello cherries and some crunchy chocolate pears.

INDULGE | SPA

Pancha Kosha Himalayan Spa at Dwarika’s Resort, Dhulikhel Dwarika’s Resort Dhulikhel, promises to give you the premier spa experience in Nepal. A 45-minute drive out of Kathmandu, it is situated on 14 acres, facing the Himalayas and it has been designed with a traditional Nepali village in mind. A rustic setting, maybe, but luxury abounds here – there is an infinity pool, a dedicated spa restaurant, several sound chambers, a Himalayan salt room, organic dining and even a helipad! Activities are well thought out which includes pottery, farming, yoga, gardening and meditation. Best of all, this is a zero-waste, chemicalfree and ecologically sustained natural living space and is truly one of its kind in Nepal. Located an hour from The Dwarika’s Hotel, Pancha Kosha Himalayan Spa is a sanctuary for healing and purification. It offers an experience modelled upon the ancient traditions of care and respect that have

developed in the Himalayan region over several millennia. The name of the spa is derived from the wisdom of the Vedas that claims that your Atman or self is which made up of five layers of being – the physical, the intellectual, emotional and the essence of the absolute. Combined, they offer an authentic experience of life. Thus, any treatment at the Pancha Kosha Spa is a journey into the self! Decorated with Nepali antique pieces and motifs from the Terai region, the spa utilises a rich diversity of natural herbs, oils and essences from the entire Himalayan range. Particularly good here are the body scrubs (often with traditional rice

powder, ginseng and neem), the Ayurvedic massages and the herbal, wooden steam baths. With integration of the Vedic Scriptures, Buddhist Medicine and Himalayan Knowledge primarily into its wellness offerings since its inception, Pancha Kosha Himalayan Spa has much more to offer than a normal stay, where the spa treatments are part of a well-being journey. All spa treatment products use natural herbs extracted from Himalayan region and prepared individually at the spa for therapy, to counterbalance the dominant elements. Before treatment, a residence doctor examines the body type and provides personalised counseling with suggestions to match best treatment for you!

DID YO U K N OW

Did You Know? Those white lines in the sky are called vapor trails or contrails, and they are the result of aviation fuel being burned. When the fuel is burned, it produces carbon dioxide and water, which condenses into tiny droplets behind a plane in the air. If you pay close attention, you can see that there is always a gap between a plane and the vapor trails— that is because it takes time for the gas to form as droplets

Ear popping can be an unfortunate side effect of flying, but it is not one that can be remedied easily. Ears pop because when planes get higher in the sky, the surrounding atmosphere becomes thinner. While there is no way around this happening, experts recommend chewing gum or yawning to sort your ears out.

Who was the world’s first airplane passenger? The honour goes to Charles Furnas, a mechanic who was taken aloft by Wilbur Wright on May 14, 1908. The first scheduled commercial flight with a paying passenger happened six years later—and commercial aviation was born.

During takeoff, a commercial liner usually takes reaches speeds of 160 to 180 mph, and when landing, the speed can be from 150 to 160 mph.

CERRUTI 1881 – Odissea Master

Cerruti 1881 embraces cutting edge of innovation with the Odissea Master. Nothing about this watch is ordinary. The square case is dramatically bolted down by silver screws on an ion plated gun case. Lines on the bezel and the indices are all angled inward toward a vanishing point at the center of the watch, giving it a three-dimensional infinity box effect. Square chronograph windows sit on a diamond pattern while white hands with a cutout boldly rotate around the surface. Small red aspects give a hint of colour, most noticeably on the triangular minute hand and etched around the crown. The depth and angular patterns throughout the watch are juxtaposed against a matte black rubber strap with the Cerruti 1881 logo in raised letters. The richness of layers, patterns and amazingly crafted details are balanced with a deep black rubber strap, resulting in a sleek timepiece that walks the line, but never goes over the top. Available at Cerruti 1881 Timepiece Outlets at RM1859

Gaming Enthusiast: S Y E D QA M A R A N Syed Qamaran from India is a Gemologist by profession but his passion lies in the latest gaming technology. More accurately in virtual reality (VR) games. Virtual reality gaming is where a person can experience being in a three dimensional environment and interact with that environment during a game. This is an essential and most interesting part of the game. Virtual reality games are becoming very popular with many teenagers who love the graphics, animations

worlds to choose from which include fantasy, sport, historical and science fiction. Some are loosely based upon the real world but others such as fantasy worlds are as the name says: they are completely disconnected from the real world which is also part of their attraction. Qamaran and his business partner Mohamed Sathak who has technology background and runs a software company with 500 employees brainstormed the idea and started VR games in Chennai.

“I have always had passion in gaming since small and now games has advanced to a whole new level whereby you can appear as an avatar in the virtual world”

and best of all, the feel of the game as if you are in it. After all, what could be better than the chance to interact with top end technology gaming. “I have always had passion in gaming since small and now games has advanced to a whole new level whereby you can appear as an avatar in the virtual world which can take on any shape or form you wish. It feels real with movements and sound that depicts the real scenario,” says Qamaran. “There are a range of virtual

The duo create their own games which they develop with a team of people in India. “I came across VR games in a mall in United States and played couple of games and became hooked to it. I immediately saw the potential of the game and how far it can go. That is when I had the idea to create a better VR game and bring it to Chennai as it does not have much exposure in VR and what better way then attract younger crowd into VR through games,”

added Qamaran. The future plan is to spread their wings into various other cities across Asia and have a keen interest in Malaysia as well. And at a later stage they want to use VR in various fields like education, medical, real estate and more. They also have plans to be a service provider for the companies in various fields. The VR game parlour is at The Grand Mall at Velachery, Chennai, India. For more information, visit http://www.thevr.world.
