Publisher’s Note Welcome to the fall issue of Kerrisdale Insider!

Summer is set to kiss us goodbye and fall is preparing to make its entrance. Trees have begun to change colours, gardens (and gardeners) are preparing to take a welldeserved rest until next spring, sweaters and warm clothing are surfacing and comfort foods are returning to the dinner table.

Kerrisdale Business Association’s Kerrisdale Days is just around the bend. The fun-filled weekend of September 9 and 10 is in celebration of Kerrisdale’s 111th birthday.

Enjoy free horse drawn carriage rides, great sidewalk sales, clowning, face-painting, inflatable slides, live music and Moore’s popular birthday cake. Elm Park transforms into an outdoor movie theatre for “Raiders of the Lost Ark.” The much anticipated Kerrisdale Idol contest returns for a 13th year and will be held on September 10. The talented winner will receive $1,000.

Kerrisdale Antiques Fair takes place over the Labour Day long weekend before ice returns to Kerrisdale Arena. Maple Grove Outdoor Pool closes and the Kerrisdale Indoor Pool is closed for maintenance until September 25.

The Kerrisdale Business Association encourages you to dress up for the annual free Halloween Skate on October 30.

In this issue we introduce you to dentist, Dr. Abbas Tejani, one of the owners of Kerrisdale Dental Centre. A local restaurant owner suggested we write a story about Dr. Tejani and as soon as I met him I knew why. It is a pleasure to feature Kerrisdale Dental Centre and share the story behind this respected dental practice.

On the cover is longtime Kerrisdale resident Desmond Chen. This busy entrepreneur is the president of Thai House Ventures and oversees a portfolio of six restaurants. A man of many talents, he is also a partner in a local modeling agency, the co-executive producer of an online reality show and is actively involved with residential and commercial property management.

Andy Trott, owner of Andy Trott MensWear, shares some fall fashion tips for Kerrisdale’s well-dressed gentlemen.

As kids head back to school and adults return to work after summer vacations, your local businesses are happy to help equip you with fall essentials from clothes to footwear and a variety of top-notch services. From crisp autumn days to Thanksgiving feasts and pumpkin carving, enjoy all that fall has to offer!

Cover Story Desmond Chen: At Home in Kerrisdale Story by Sarah Gordon Photo by Sandra Steier

Longtime Kerrisdale resident Desmond Chen simultaneously juggles more business ventures than most of us will experience in the span of our working years.

As the president of Thai House Ventures, he oversees a portfolio of six restaurants. In addition, Desmond Chen is a partner in a local modeling agency; he is the co-executive producer of an online reality show and he is actively involved with residential and commercial property management.

His story begins with his father Patrick Chen, who Desmond Chen credits as being a pioneer in the Asian restaurant industry. Back in the 1980s when the Chen family was living in Richmond his father opened his first restaurant called Unicorn. It specialized in seafood and was one of the first Chinese restaurants on No. 3 Road. Subsequently, he was aware Vancouver was lacking Thai food and took action, opening the first Thai House on Robson Street in 1986.

When Desmond Chen was 12 his family left Richmond and moved to Kerrisdale, partly so he would be closer to his school, Vancouver College. By age 13 he was lending a hand at Thai House, getting his start working in the kitchen.

“My father wanted to instill the value of hard work and learning to be independent at a very early age.”

Desmond Chen He explains, “I grew into the business.” He learnt the front and back end of the business, as he began waiting tables and making deliveries at age 16. By age 20 he was actively involved at the head office and learnt to oversee the company’s operations.

his feet wet with a second enterprise, as he entered the world of commercial and retail property management. Desmond Chen says, “Dealing with tenants at that age was an amazing experience. I learnt to deal and negotiate with different personalities.”

Meanwhile the family business expanded to other locations in Kitsilano (1988) Richmond (1989), North Vancouver (1996), followed by the opening of Urban Bistro, a new concept in the formerly industrial area of Yaletown, and Pink Elephant Thai on Alberni Street in downtown Vancouver (2011).

A second location of Pink Elephant Thai recently opened at the new Marine Gateway complex at the south end of Cambie Street at S.W. Marine Drive. Rather than head downtown, plenty of Kerrisdale families are opting to visit this location before or after a movie due to its close proximity and convenient parking.

Kerrisdale residents will be excited to hear Desmond Chen is currently looking at the possibility of introducing a new restaurant to the neighbourhood.

He says, “There are a lot of exciting changes in Kerrisdale dining options with an authentic variety of Asian restaurants from Japanese to Shanghainese, Taiwanese and Vietnamese eateries compared to five years ago.”

Remarkably, at age 18 he was also getting

HIs other ventures include his involvement in Ply Management, a modeling agency specializing in merging fashion, events and entertainment and being a co-executive producer of the online reality show, Ultra Rich Asian Girls. He points out, “I enjoy the diversity of doing different things, thinking

outside the box and being involved with businesses that complement each venture.”

There has been an overwhelming worldwide response to Ultra Rich Asian Girls partially driven by Vancouver’s red-hot real estate market, which brings publicity to the show.

Desmond Chen is known for his fashion sense; Vancity Buzz’s Men of Vancouver and other local magazines have recognized his style. He admits that he has always been interested in fashion and believes that a first impression is everything. Perhaps it stems from his years at Vancouver College when he wore a dress shirt and tie.

When this busy entrepreneur isn’t tending to many irons in the fire, he enjoys spending quality time with his family.

He and his high school sweetheart, Maria September 1 - November 15, 2016

Chen, met when they were 15 years old and have four sons. When his oldest sons were young they played with the Kerrisdale Soccer League. His youngest son recently played in the Kerrisdale Little League and Desmond Chen volunteered as an assistant coach. He likes to stay active to keep his mind and body fresh by exercising regularly, playing in two ice hockey leagues, golfing and playing tennis.

He and his family enjoy setting off on foot or bikes regularly to enjoy all that Kerrisdale has to offer. They frequently dine locally and regarding his neighbourhood of 30 years he says, “I love Kerrisdale. It has everything here and we don’t often need to go outside the area.” He notes that a lot of changes have taken place, and the sleepy evening streets of Kerrisdale are becoming busier, partially due to more restaurants opening.

In the near future Kerrisdale residents may have the good fortune to dine locally at one of his establishments. Until then, Desmond Chen says with a smile, “Thai House and Pink Elephant Thai deliver to Kerrisdale.”

Fall Fashion Tips from Andy Trott Kerrisdale Menswear

By Andy Trott

Gentlemen, fall is almost here and with the change in seasons comes an opportunity to have a fresh look at your wardrobe as shorts and t-shirts are put away and fall fashion makes its annual appearance.

texture for added visual appeal.

Autumn is always a popular time of the year for clothing, as the cooler weather offers so many possibilities for layers and textures. At Andy Trott, we tell our clients you don’t have to wear edgy fashion to look good.

To help better understand the brand game of fashion today we recommend reading “Deluxe: How Luxury Lost Its Luster” by Dana Thomas. This well written, hard-hitting book offers a behind-the-scenes look at the luxury fashion industry today as mass produced clothing has flooded the marketplace.

Our suggestions for fall 2016 wardrobe complementary pieces include: Classic knits, tweed jackets and blazers accompanied by sport shirts in natural fabrics.

Regular rise wool or cotton slacks and jeans with stretch round out an outfit.

Tip: Remember to highlight with color and

At Andy Trott we are advocates of timeless, classic, quality clothing that will be a staple in your wardrobe for many years to come.

It is our belief that clients consider quality over quantity. The appearance and value of a quality product is evident and ultimately the price will be manageable when you factor in the durability of well-made garments. In fact, you will end up consuming less by investing in quality fashion and you will save in the long run.

I didn’t expect it to feel like home.

Feeling at home means enjoying the things you like to do. Which is why at Amica, you can always enjoy your day the way you like to – read your book in a quiet corner or enjoy a snack when you want to.

You can expect an all-inclusive community that is personalized to you with a range of first-class amenities and services in each of our neighbourhoods: Independent Living

Kerrisdale Dental Centre: Looking Your Best and Improving Health Go Hand in Hand Story by Sarah Gordon

Photos by Sandra Steier

The day I spoke to Dr. Abbas Tejani he had just returned from attending a dental conference in Austin, Texas on how dentistry can improve your health and well-being. He was brimming with excitement as he has an active thirst for knowledge and is dedicated to keeping up to date on the very latest developments in his profession.

He and Dr. Omar Kassam are the owners of Kerrisdale Dental Centre. The dentists met in 1999 soon after Dr. Tejani arrived in Canada from England where he practiced dentistry.

He had heard about a course, which would require a considerable commitment in time and dollars. He has always believed investing in oneself pays off, and he promptly registered. Fortuitously, he connected to Dr. Kassam through the program; they instantly hit it off and joined forces sixteen years ago.

The established Kerrisdale dental practice has been providing dental services under different owners for over 70 years. The first time Dr. Tejani visited Kerrisdale he felt an instant connection to the village that reminds 16

September 1 - November 15, 2016

him of an English high street. He describes the neighbourhood as “an intimate setting within a large city.”

Regarding his friendship with Dr. Kassam, Dr. Tejani mentions they are from similar backgrounds. They both lived in England where they attended university although their paths did not cross. Dr. Kassam graduated from the University of London and Dr. Tejani graduated from the University of Bristol. One day they were chatting about their mothers and discovered they share the same name. Dr. Tejani laughs when he says, “We are brothers from another mother.”

Dr. Tejani says, “We have a drive for excellence. We strive to be the best we can be, to deliver the best for our patients and our community.”

•

www.KerrisdaleInsider.com

For seven years Dr. Tejani operated two practices simultaneously, one in England along with his Vancouver office. He has let the London practice go, but he and Dr. Kassam continue to work as consultants.

The dentists agree that the warm, welcoming office atmosphere and their exceptional team (dental assistant Sharon, dental hygienists Elaine and Shannon and administrator Aaryn) makes their dental office stand out. In addition, they employ an in house technician who works exclusively with them to individualize restorative cases such as custom crowns and veneers.

While they both practice general dental services, each dentist has his own passion and area of expertise. Dr. Kassam got a new lease on his passion for dentistry when he began pursuing cosmetic and laser dentistry in 1986.

Dr. Kassam is well respected for his work in laser dentistry; Dr. Tejani calls him a pioneer in this field.

At Kerrisdale Dental Centre the two dentists like to focus on prevention. Doctors are now discovering that many diseases relate directly to inflammation and bacteria from the gums.

The light from lasers has an amazing bio stimulating effect; it rejuvenates cells, helps tissues heal and kills bacteria.

Years ago when Dr. Tejani qualified from the University of Bristol and practiced what he refers to as “drill and fill dentistry” he mentions, “I was always striving for something more. I believed there was more to dentistry.” To gain some reflective distance, he took time off and worked as a ski guide in the French Alps, and although it was fun, he realized there wasn’t a future in it. Next he headed back to his roots, to his homeland of India where he was born, for a year of selfdiscovery. Wanting to reach “the top of the world” he journeyed to Everest and to the source of the Ganges in the Himalayas. He says it was an incredible experience and along the way he was able to volunteer and September 1 - November 15, 2016

offer his expertise in dentistry to people in small communities.

Dr. Tejani acknowledges the role his inspiring parents (both were physicians) played in pushing him beyond standard dentistry. He mentions his mother was one of the founding members of the British holistic medical association, and her thinking outside the box approach to medicine is akin to his beliefs.

Dr. Tejani is fascinated with jaw function, the way the bite works and how to improve a bite that is not working.

He explains, “The mouth is the primary portal to the health of the entire body.”

Headaches, neck and backaches and even sleep issues can all be improved with bite correction. To accomplish this, Dr. Tejani shapes teeth or fillings as needed. By making minor adjustments teeth take minimal stress and gain maximum support. If even one tooth is out of alignment it can throw everything off. Teeth take a beating over •

time; they become worn, and get to the point where things aren’t working in harmony. He explains, “It’s all about harmony, to shape, rebuild, and reconfigure form and function.”

He describes himself as having a similar role to that of a quarterback in working with specialist colleagues such as orthodontists.

Jaw, neck, joint and muscle, tooth wear and bite problems can arise from a number of reasons and he manages this portion of the treatment. He says, “I have a vision of what the best result can be. If I can’t treat the issue myself I know someone who can help, and we work together.”

Kerrisdale

Dental

Centre

offers

an

orthodontic service called a six month smile.

This aesthetic treatment is for adults seeking straighter teeth. It is similar to conventional braces although the brackets are clear and provide a much faster route to delivering a winning smile. The dentists have Invisalign for those patients interested in a brace-free method of straightening teeth. Dr. Tejani also performs extensive implant treatments.

Is dental anxiety preventing you from regular visits to the dentist? Have no fear, pain free dentistry is Kerrisdale Dental Centre’s specialty. They prefer to not sedate patients and only use it as a last resort. In fact, between the comfortable environment, which provides confidence and puts people at ease, and the very gentle way they freeze a mouth, the majority of patients don’t feel a thing.

At Kerrisdale Dental Centre, Dr. Tejani humbly admits they hear glowing words of praise about how effortless a patient’s visit was. They also see occasional tears of happiness when clients see their new smile and improved look, or discover they no longer have to suffer after their bite issue has been resolved.

What is the greatest reward of their profession? Dr. Tejani speaks on behalf of both dentists who share a common belief, “Helping people feel better about themselves and helping people’s health; looking good and improving health goes hand in hand.”
