ll these years, I knew my dad as a man of few words. One sentence he did often say was: “Son, be careful when you are away from home.” When I was younger, these few simple words did not mean much to me and I hardly paid any attention to it. How time flies! Today, as a father of 4 children, I will tell my kids something similar before they step out of the house: “Be careful, call me or sms me when you arrive at the venue.” Whenever they did not contact me, my mind would feel uneasy. Worries would affect my emotions and I would lose concentration in whatever I was doing. As I am overseas more often these days, I would call home every day just to listen to their voices. It was after listening to their voices and knowing they were safe and happy in whatever they are doing that I would feel a sense of happiness and peace. I now understand the love between a parent and his children is a powerful bond that many things in this world cannot replace. Whenever my determination falters from the challenges of making a living for my family and myself, it is my commitment to my children that give me the extra strength to overcome tough times and look forward to better things. Dear Dad, now I understand what you meant when you said, “Son, be careful when you are away from home.” Thank you for giving me this special love and care. I cherish it even more after becoming a dad myself. Friends, Father’s Day is close. Do you have any plans to spend time with your dad? Try to recall food and places they like because this simple gesture will mean a lot to them. That’s coming from someone who is also a Dad. Remember the days when Dad was always our hero and we will listen to their stories wholeheartedly with our innocence of youth? Today, he might speak slowly so do give him time and listen attentively. However there’s something that doesn’t change no matter how much time has passed: My Dad has been, is and will always be my hero.
To all the heroes of the world, Happy Father’s Day!

At birth, a child represents the beginning of life, a clean slate where promises of the future will be made and history will be recorded. A child represents the infinite possibilities of what mankind is capable of achieving. eMAG Jun - Jul 2011
From a
Father to a Father
Dear Dads of the world, Do you remember the day you stepped into fatherhood and realise that your life has changed completely from that moment forth? Are you at the stage where you are watching your children grow and hoping that they will go on to lead happy, fulfilling lives? Or are you at the stage where your children have grown up and lead independent lives away from you? Are you perhaps the father of a child whom you do not wish to be in contact with, whether voluntarily or involuntarily? Or are you like me, a father who is guilty of spending too much time on making a living rather than spending a little more time on building my child’s life? As Father’s Day comes round, I ponder: What does it mean to be a Dad? A child is a unique combination of his or her parents and bears the genetic signatures of the generations before them. More than cells and genes, each child embodies and carries the hopes and dreams of those who have walked the path of life before his or her entrance to the world. Jun - Jul 2011 eMAG

At birth, a child represents the beginning of life, a clean slate where promises of the future will be made and history will be recorded. A child represents the infinite possibilities of what mankind is capable of achieving. I used to think I was the one who had much to teach them but I learnt that as much as we educate our children to prepare them for the world, it is our children who teach us the beauty of living. As we grow older, we become more weary and wary. We enrol our kids in more and more courses so that they may be able to survive under the relentless pressures of society. Yet when I see my children marvel at animals at the zoo and break out in heartfelt laughter over harmless tickles, I am reminded that life isn’t always about moving ahead. It is also about being able to pause and find beauty in the smallest things. While we may have hopes for their future, our children also represent the power of dreams and imagination. Whether you are 5 or 50, they remind us that innocence remains a precious virtue that is vital at any stage of life.
Yet, I often wonder if I had done enough? After all, no amount of kind advice or guidance from books can prepare you for fatherhood because every child is different. There were times when the words “tomorrow” and “next time” popped up in my head or in conversations with my children. It is only after that I remember that missed opportunities of being with our children are irretrievable and irreplaceable. It is only when time is lost that I begin to truly understand the impact of
6
eMAG Jun - Jul 2011
procrastination. The absence of a parent in a child’s life creates a void that is hard to fill yet it also the same void that only we can try to soothe.
In being a father, I revisited the meaning of being a son. My father was a traditional man who spoke little. Now I begin to wonder if he too, had wished for more communication between us. I wonder if he too, had wished he had reached out more to us and that we had reached out more to him in return? That being said, past disappointments should remain where they are – in the past. It is far more important to use this past as a guideline for the future. A hug today means much more than giving the latest toys to your kids because the pain of neglect hidden deep within our children’s hearts is something that may never go away. Time invested with your kids will reap rewards beyond imagination. Fatherhood is risky business. There is room for lots of trial and errors. There are no guarantees that putting in your best will produce the results you want. Yet, it is all that we can do. Perhaps like my dad, I hope that my children will remember that between all the things I have forgotten to say or do, that I love them more than anything in the world. So Dads of the world, Happy Father’s Day. As you celebrate this important role of your life, please take the time to show some love to the people who made it possible for such pride and joy to exist – your beloved children.

Bodegas Real F
inca Marisanchez is one of most stunning and idiosyncratic vineyards in the Southern area of Castile La Mancha. Located in the historic fields of Campo de Montiel, it has preserved, from medieval times, the three quintessentially Mediterranean crops: the grapevine, the olive tree and cereals. It is in the heart of Finca Marisanchez that the second generation family cellar, Bodegas Real, has stood since 1989. Our goal, from the beginning, has been to transfer the concept of the “Chateau” to the lands of La Mancha and to make wines of high quality from our own vines. For that reason, the philosophy of our people is to implant in all our wines the force of the four elements from which life originates: our clayey soil, the warm summer breeze, the water of the Jabalón river and the sun that filters in the grapes and enriches them with its red fire. These four pillars, and our passion to enjoy them and pass
12
eMAG Jun - Jul 2011
them on, are the keys to the production of our wines. The Marisanchez Estate is located in a tiny valley by the Jabalon River, a tributary to Guadiana River with an average height being close to 700 meters above sea level.
FLORA
The environment where the Marisanchez property is located is dominated by the typical sclerophyllous forest sub Mediterranean, in which its predominant species is of the Quercus (holm oaks, shrubby oaks, oak trees etc). All kinds of plants and herbs such as thyme, rosemary, sage, marjoram and broom also flourish. One can also find leafy poplar groves and bulrushes along the watercourses. These, together with the diversity of the spices that inhabit this zone, make a unique and spectacular habitat.
FAUNA
The proximity to the Jabalón River and the dam of the “Small Head” make the
Marisanchez land a unique and wellknown wildlife reserve. It is also the family’s game preserve. We can find species of small game, like rabbits, hares or wood pigeons. It is also possible to run into the occasional fox or wild boar. The queen of this environment is, without a doubt, the coveted red partridge, to which Bodegas Real has dedicated its founding emblem. Due to the proximity to water, there is an abundance of aquatic birds, including mallards, ducks, heron y egrets, and even storks. Birds of prey such as eagles, kestrels and owls are also common. Marisanchez also features an abundant aquatic life made up of cyprinids, carp, flench, tench and barbell, pike, black bass and the ever present American red crab. It is clear that the Marisánchez Estate is a privileged natural enclave that is maintained and preserved through time.

Gastronomic
Guru
A
descendent from a family of chefs, it appears Chef Chan Kwok from Hua Ting Restaurant was born to cook. Having honed his skills in acclaimed hotels and restaurants across Hong Kong, Macau, Australia and Singapore, Chef Chan is no stranger to culinary greatness.
As one who believes in commitment and passion towards one’s work, Chef Chan has continued to uphold traditional Cantonese cuisine while pushing new frontiers by embracing new and exciting ingredients to create unique dishes. We caught up with the warm and humble man, who is also three-time Asian Cuisine Chef of the Year and this year’s Chef of the Year at the recent Asian Gastronomic Awards of Excellence, over tea and find out the secrets behind his success.
How do you feel after winning the awards, especially since this is your third time winning Asian Cuisine Chef of the Year? Of course the whole team and I feel very happy. I wasn’t expecting it but it was made possible with the whole team’s effort. It is a great honor to win the award three times.
Do you feel greater pressure to excel after winning the awards? There was definitely greater pressure after winning the awards previously. However, even without the recent win, the pressure to continuously improve ourselves also exists in our daily work. New breakthroughs are important but it is very important to maintain the consistency and quality of one’s work as well.
14
eMAG Jun - Jul 2011
How do you continue to create breakthroughs for yourself? It is necessary to have expectations for yourself and work closely with your colleagues by listening to their opinions and also sharing your expectations with them so that everyone can be on the same pace. In order to present different experiences for customers over time, I do research and exchange ideas with my peers. Different people, like our seniors, will be able to give us different perspectives to think about.
What are the qualities that a successful chef should possess? To me, dedication is very important. It is also necessary to listen to others’ opinions and be open to suggestions and ideas from other people. Being a chef is a tough and dirty job but if one is willing to work hard, one would definitely improve over time.

In line with the restaurant’s policy of upholding tradition, Beng Hiang painstakingly roasts their suckling pigs over charcoals using the traditional roasting method. Only the freshest pork is used and the unique seasoning is prepared in-house with no artificial coloring. The result is a plate of crispy, thin suckling pig slices roasted to shiny orangey brown perfection when it arrives at your table. We hear the dish sells out pretty quickly so you may wish to make reservations before making your way to the restaurant!

Sliced Fish Soup
W
in
Pot
ell-brewed soup is a dish that takes hours to stew, especially if it uses only natural ingredients. The Sliced Fish Soup at Chen Fu Ji is no exception.
Its milky white colour is not the result of the addition of milk, but from the long hours of brewing fish bones that eventually caused the bones to melt into the soup. The addition of white cabbage adds a natural sweetness. While this soup does not try to win with strong flavours or a colourful appearance, it is naturally appetising and makes a refreshing complement to other dishes that one would have for dinner. There is a certain quality of quiet elegance about this dish that makes you go for a second or third bowl. More surprise: This dish works wonders for healing of wounds!

he writer who tried this dish is not a big fan of crab but she happily sank her teeth into the delicious crustacean. While salted egg can be a rather overwhelming ingredient at times, it is used just right in this dish to create an addictive complement to fresh crab. Be prepared to lick your fingers!

old dishes are a common feature in Shanghai cuisine and for Nanxiang Steamed Bun Restaurant, a brand name with over 100 years legacy, such dishes are essential in the menu.
One cold dish worth trying is the Nanxiang Drunken Chicken which is freshly prepared daily with Zhao Lu wine. The chicken is soaked in wine for a few hours before it is chilled for serving. The wine sneaks into your palate with every bite and is absolutely refreshing especially after being chilled.

H
aving served up authentic Indonesian Nasi Padang for the last 60 years, it would not be an understatement to say that Rendezvous Restaurant knows this special dish from Padang well.
t is a very pleasant surprise whenever we stumble upon a humble looking dish that stirs our senses.
This dish does not seek to impress with overly colourful garnishing or complex tastes. The beauty of this dish is in the details such as the grated ginger topping which has been flavoured with a secret recipe sauce and the giant pan-fried scallops which add color and punch to the light dish. Light and elegant in its simplicity, this dish is perfect comfort food.

The giant prawns used for the Prawn Sambal, which is the writer’s personal favourite, is simply mouth-savouring. Little coconut milk is used in this dish so one can truly savour the spices in the thick gravy. This appetizing dish would whet up your appetite as it did for us.

n recent years, there’s been a growing trend of restaurants setting up shop away from the hustle and bustle of town, preferring instead to leave their footprints in quieter, more “rural” neighborhoods such as Dempsey and Rochester, which have become the new hip places to eat, play, see and be seen. Seafood veteran, House of Seafood, has joined this trend by opening its third outlet at Cosford Road in March this year. “Taxi drivers who didn’t know that there was a restaurant here were shocked to see the long line of cars parked outside.” says the staff.
Garden Dining Unlike its earlier branches, House of Seafood at Cosford adopts a garden dining concept with both indoor and outdoor dining areas on a spacious piece of land in the middle of natural greenery. “It was a big decision but our customers have been requesting for a bigger dining space. Personally, I also wanted to provide a different dining experience for 22

Home
our customers with more space and free parking.” says owner, Mr Francis Ng.
The outdoor area consists of spaced out individual pavilions where diners will be able to enjoy their dinner with greater privacy. The landscaping, which took over a year to complete, was thoughtfully designed by the owner himself. Besides lots of greenery, the alfresco area also includes water features, a children’s play area and even a rabbit pen which proved popular with kids when we were there. One would also be able to watch planes take off without worrying about noise as the restaurant faces a runway but remains far enough for the sounds to be kept to a minimum. Walking around the garden feels more like strolling in someone’s backyard than a restaurant. The overall feeling is calming and welcoming but still classy. If outdoor dining is not your kind of thing, step into the air-conditioned indoor dining area. One is still able to witness the natural environment outside and the calm from the outdoors continues into the tastefully decorated dining hall. Despite having opened only barely a few
months ago, the restaurant has quickly won a following of fans. When we were there, all the tables were already reserved for that evening. It is little wonder why. House of Seafood is famous for their black pepper and chili crabs. In fact, the Chinese name of the chain, 螃蟹之家， literally translates into “House of Crabs”. Besides crabs, there are many other wonderful dishes to complete your dining experience. We particularly loved the Pork Ribs with Honey Sauce, which according to the chef, is requested by nearly every table when they visit the restaurant. While this dish is found in many Chinese restaurants, the chef has managed to add a mysterious touch that sent us packing more of it home to share with the folks. The chef also believes in constantly finding ways to produce more intriguing and delicious food for the restaurant’s customers. We’re certainly going to be one of those heading back again!

Yet, it is such a calm and soothing environment that greets you when you arrive at this understated gem tucked away in Sungei Tengah.

Despite the reclusive location, Austwine has won a following of regular customers ever since it opened in 2004. Designed as a casual restaurant with both alfresco and indoor areas, Austwine sits amidst a cove of restaurants, intricate shops and agricultural showcases. The alfresco area is particularly popular because of its surrounding greenery which offers much needed respite from fast-paced urban lifestyles. Sitting under the giant hut-like balcony immediately transports one’s thoughts
Austwine offers a dedicated collection of boutique wines from Australia, New Zealand and Chile within an in-house cellar that maintains the wines under optimal conditions. Unlike bigger wineries, boutique wines usually originate from smaller family owned wineries and are not as commonly found on the shelves. The good news is the wines are all available for sale at retail prices starting from $20 to over $100 for higher quality wines.
Of course, what’s a gathering without some wine and dine?

Beauty That
Fancy frying an egg on your face in the name of beauty? While the Dermal Rejuvenation Therapy at De Sanctuary doesn’t literally lay an egg on your face, the process is no less sizzling and intriguing. The best part? You emerge looking brighter and more radiant than before! Featuring the usage of L’institut De Cliniceuticals products which were previously only available to dermatological surgeons in Korea, Dermal Rejuvenation Therapy is a customized facial that seeks to combat dull, damaged, scarred, uneven and problem skin using innovative methods. The therapy begins with an assessment of your face which would determine the types of suitable treatments to be used. In my situation, the Micro Needling Therapy was used to treat my scars and dull skin. This treatment makes use
Sizzles
of very fine needles that increases absorption of treatment products and promotes collagen induction through controlled mechanical stimulation of the dermis while preserving the external layer of skin. While it sounds scary, the process is not as painful as one may think and there was no redness after the therapy as well. Another highlight is the Carboxytherapy which improves skin elasticity and circulation, encourages collagen repair, improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and destroys localized fatty deposits. By introducing small amounts of carbon dioxide just below the surface of the skin, the skin is tricked into increasing blood circulation to that area. Once applied to the skin, I experienced a sizzling sensation on the face which was a little worrying at first but that soon disappeared and there were no signs of irritation at all after the treatment.
I saw a noticeable improvement in radiance after the facial which continued to last and improve over the next few hours. In fact, I was able to go out without any makeup because of a natural glow. Despite the bizarre treatment process and being one who does not commit to facials easily, I am geared to make my next appointment soon. Highly recommended!

How old is your abdomen?
A
set of toned washboard abs is something that a lot of ladies desire. However, it is often easy to forget that the well-being of the abdominal area is far more important than just being able to fit into a pair of skinny jeans. Based over 5 years of clinical tests on 30,000 people, it was discovered that the abdomen is a significant part of the human body. Key internal organs such as the spleen, liver, kidneys, large intestine, small intestine and ovaries are located in the abdomen area.
The Meridian Belt Vessel
The Meridian Belt Vessel is located 8mm below the navel like a wide belt enclosing a woman’s waist. According to traditional Chinese medicine principles, it acts a controller for the Conception Vessel, Governor Vessel and
Vital Vessel. If it is blocked, it can result in poor blood circulation,, hormone imbalance and accumulation of fat within the waist line which will affect the balance of the vital organs. Other symptoms may also include cellulite, stretch marks and loss of muscle tone. In addition, the Belt Vessel controls the Pelvic cavity, which positions the uterus and ovary. Clogging of the belt vessel will also cause the uterus to sag, which sets off an accelerated aging process starting from a sagging tummy to sagging breasts and facial contour profile.
