Editor's Note
If Shakespeare had lived in the south of China, he never would have written that “summer’s lease hath all too short a date.” The hottest time of year is a long, grueling period in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, with stultifying humidity interspersed with sudden thunderstorms. Of course, the climate also means the people living here can enjoy a longer social season of pool parties, beach bonfires and other frivolity that involves wearing as few clothes as possible. Hot, sultry summer – what better time to unveil our sexiest people of the PRD? Deciding what is sexy proved a lot harder than we anticipated. After all, someone doesn’t need to be classically handsome or beautiful in order to exude sensuality. Turn to any of the great writers – or even a modern-day celeb – on what exactly makes someone sexy and you’ll be confronted by a host of different opinions and thoughts. Is it their creativity? Their intelligence? Their perfectly sculpted pectorals or their bootylicious behind? Their scars? Their political conviction? The way they flop out of a swimming pool like an uncoordinated seal? We’re sure our choices are going to generate a lot of debate, but ultimately we opted to choose individuals who got our pulses racing not just because they have the bodies of Greek gods, but because they are also making praiseworthy contributions to the community, to the city or to the world. Throw in a dash of that elusive quality the French so mysteriously dub ‘je ne sais quoi’ and you have the recipe for our sexy stars. If you’re about to snap your fan in half with anticipation, flip to p32 now! Also in this issue, we’ve interviewed those iconic turn-of-the-century rockers Linkin Park ahead of their performance in Shenzhen this month. Their debut album, Hybrid Theory, became the soundtrack for a whole generation of rebellious youngsters and continues to be named one of the most important rock albums of the new millennium (p26). Our other musical coup is an interview with OK Go, the band that caused a sensation with the release of the music video to their song, ‘Here It Goes Again’ – we guarantee that even if you haven’t seen the original clip of the band dancing on treadmills, you’ve seen an homage or parody (p28). Turning to more local culture, we’ve explored the traditional bronze casting of old Xiguan (p12), delved into the controversial history of Darlie Toothpaste’s blackface imagery (p14) and met the woman who’s turned dining solo on a home-cooked meal into a fashionable affair (p54). Stay frosty, PRD! Tom Lee Editor in Chief

tales of the city Police versus private drivers
Alleged prostitution tycoon on trial
Hong Kong-Shenzhen stock exchange stalls
Uber-like apps in Guangzhou have once again caught the attention of authorities, this time after an incident between police and an unlicensed private car driver. The altercation happened last month when undercover police confronted a man using the car-hailing app Didi Zhuanche on Shuiyin Lu, in Dongshan. The trouble was set in motion when law enforcement approached an individual, who, fearing a hefty fine for offering an unlicensed taxi service, sent out a social media message that brought hundreds of private drivers from across the city to his aid. “We surrounded the car and tried to force the police officers to let the driver and his car go," Wang Wei, a licensed driver for both Uber and Didi, told the South China Morning Post. The incident resulted in a massive traffic jam that stretched for more than 2 kilometers and lasted several hours. It also saw the deployment of dozens of armed police to support their comrades. The stand-off ended peacefully, with no injuries and the driver escaping a fine.
The prostitution scandal that rattled Dongguan last year is one step closer to closure. In late May, business tycoon Liang Yaohui and 46 of his employees went on trial for allegedly organizing prostitution and destroying evidence, according to the China Daily. An indictment, set before the Dongguan Intermediate People’s Court, states that Liang and 46 of his employees organized for over 100 women to offer sexual services out of the Crown Prince Hotel in Huangjiang township. As chairman of the Crown Prince Hotel, Liang is accused of arranging for 99 sauna rooms to be allocated for prostitution since 2004. The hotel was shut down after a police bust last year. The closure capped off an operation aimed at clamping down on Dongguan’s notorious sex trade industry. Yaohui pleaded not guilty to all charges. If convicted he could face the death penalty due to the scale of his alleged crimes.
China’s pledge to link-up the Hong KongShenzhen stock exchange by the end of the year may be at risk. According to reports, the launch date has been put on hold due to technical difficulties. Planned connection of the two bourses has been touted as another phase in liberalizing China’s financial sector, where the Communist Party still maintains a large amount of control over both the economy and currency. Although no date has been announced yet, it's assumed the proposed action will go ahead despite the discouraging results from last year’s link-up of the Hong Kong and Shanghai stock exchanges. Industry participants are surely irked by the delay, as the launch date was originally set for announcement in May. Postponement past August risks pushing the Hong Kong-Shenzhen link-up to the first half of 2016. Beijing has previously stated that it would be completed in the second half of 2015. Only time will tell how accurate that projection is.
Parable of the good Samaritans
Production of green cars accelerates
A 76-year-old woman is lucky to be alive after being dragged beneath Guangzhou’s number 190 bus last month. When the bus stopped, her hair and clothing became pinned under the front wheel of the vehicle, rendering her hopelessly stuck. People rushed to the scene after hearing her cries of agony and, in what is a shocking victory for humanity, over 100 shoppers stopped to help lift the bus. After 15 minutes of pushing, the good Samaritans managed to raise the front of the bus and free the elderly woman. They then shaded her with umbrellas until an ambulance was able to arrive. The woman has yet to be named, and it’s still unclear how she ended up under the bus to begin with. According to media reports, she suffered a dislocated elbow, leg fractures and unspecified head injuries. Police questioned the bus driver but, as far as we know, no charges have been laid.
Guangzhou Automobile Group Co. (GAC Group) plans to devote RMB2 billion towards building a green ‘new energy’ automotive factory in China, a senior executive said last month. Carmakers in China are rushing to create more environmentally friendly vehicles (such as electric cars, hybrids and fuel cell vehicles) to comply with fuel economy standards that will grow progressively stricter each year until 2020. The new regulations are part of the government's plan to confront the pollution issues that plague many of China’s large urban areas. Clearly no one has informed them that the electricity to power electric cars comes from coalburning plants, which are China’s major source of pollution. GAC’s new factory will have the capability to produce 100,000 vehicles annually and should be completed by 2018.

族 (zú) and 奴 (nú) are employed in various ways in modern parlance to talk about different types of people. Sound like a native Mandarin speaker with these handy phrases. 族 (zú) 1) 上班族 (shàng bān zú): ‘shàng bān’ means ‘go to work.’ Shàng bān zú indicates someone who works on a weekday. Example: nǐ shì shàng bān zú ma? (Are you a shàng bān zú?) 2) 啃老族 (kěn lǎo zú): refers to those not currently engaged in employment, education or training. These people are aged between 23 and 30 and prefer to rely on their parents. Example: tā shì gè kěn lǎo zú, yǐ jīng sān nián méi gōng zuò le. (He is a kěn lǎo zú, he hasn’t worked for three years.) 3) 丁克族 (dīng kè zú): from the English acronym DINK (dual income, no kids). Example: tā shì dīng kè zú. (He is a dīng kè zú.)
奴 (nú) 1) 孩奴 (hái nú): child's slave, i.e. parents working hard to indulge their children. Example: yuè lái yuè duō de fù mǔ biàn chéng le hái nú. (More and more parents are becoming hái nú.) 2) 房奴 (fáng nú): mortgage slave. Example: wǒ de fù mǔ shì fáng nú. (My parents are fáng nú.)

Cyborg cockroaches
Foreigners: China Daily is very disappointed in you. According to a recent study picked up by the paper, most laowai know what pandas are (good job, you!) but have difficulty with other aspects of Chinese culture and history that the Daily considers “fundamental.” Easy cultural touchstones include the story of Mulan (thank you, Disney), yin/ yang and “What is Spring Festival?” Simple enough, but the more difficult items to identify included Li Bai (“The Immortal Poet”) and “The Theory of Harmony between Nature and Man,” which sounds like a toughie. Time to get studying! If you think you’re up to the task, check out our culture quiz at thatsmags.com (search “quiz”). Here’s a hint: the first answer is “Panda.”
Cockroaches: dirty, gross maCockroaches: dirty, gross marauding bugs that can survive an apocalypse. Pretty much the only good thing about these insects is that they are, on the whole, pretty unintelligent – but not anymore. Researchers at Shanghai Jiaotong University have unveiled new, improved cockroaches, equipped with mind-control chips that enable scientists to manipulate the bugs. Using the implants, scientists can send the creatures down obstacle courses and direct their every move. Now, if only they would only order all of those filthy critters to march directly into the ocean...
QUOTE OF THE MONTH
Lookin’ good
“If you can’t reach your belly button, find someone to help you!”
According to a recent survey, 10 percent of Mainland Chinese are “completely satisfied” with their looks – the highest rate in all of Asia. Taiwan came in at 7 percent, Hong Kong at just 3 and poor Japan sported a measly 2 percent of people at peace with their appearance. The survey asked 270,000 people aged 15 and older to rate their own looks. China came in first in Asia, but was hardly number one in the world – that belongs to Mexico, where a staggering 29 percent of the population thinks they look great.
The brilliant words of one slightly-pudgy Internet user, who entered last month’s viral Touch your Belly Button Challenge. The initiative, which spread like a weird wildfire on Weibo, saw China’s online commenters attempting to touch their own belly buttons by reaching ‘round their backs, to show off their slim figures. But, as this one man deftly determined (well, somewhat deftly; he does have two left hands) there are ways to bend the rules.

Keke, millionaire K9
It’s easy enough to find examples of wealth and excess in today’s China – a pink Lamborghini here, a plastic surgery vacation to Korea there – but it’s typically restrained to the homo sapiens out there. That’s not the case with Keke, the (sigh…) celebrity dog owned by Wang Sicong, son of Wang Jianlin, one of China’s richest men. “I have new watches! I’m supposed to have four watches, because I have four legs, but that seems too tuhao,” said Keke’s personal Weibo account (presumably written by Wang, but maybe this dog just really has its act together). “I kept it down to two. Do you have one?” The watches in question were, of course, gold Apple Watches, worth a combined RMB250,000. Pictures of Keke flaunting her new goods went viral online – the dog is followed by more than 800,000 people on Weibo – and were, predictably, poorly received by China’s online commenters. “The world is without hope,” one said. Keke – “Queen of Tuhao Dogs” – has, on occasion, also drunk Fiji water from her bowl. Tuhao or not, we eagerly await the results of Keke’s fitness tracker, to see how many steps this pampered pooch takes each day. RANDOM NUMBER
RMB1.5 million
That’s the value of a slightly misprinted 100-yuan note, recently sold at auction by a Chongqing man. A man surnamed Zheng reportedly found the bill three years ago and thought it was a fun little object to hold on to – it was only when he heard that another man had sold a similarly botched bill for more than RMB1 million that he realized he had something seriously valuable. Zheng walked into a local auction house with 100 kuai and walked out with quite a bit more. Let this be a lesson to us all: the difference between being a millionaire or not could be as small as a little whisker accidentally printed on Mao’s chin. www.thatsmags.com / GZ / July 2015

Exploring Xiguan’s tradition of metallurgy by Tristin Cheung

nning Lu (恩宁路) holds a special place in the hearts of Guangzhou’s old-timers. One of the few historic streets to survive the city’s transition from the Qing Dynasty, to the Republic of China period, to today’s PRC, it was once a central hub of old Xiguan. Former residents spent half their lives watching Cantonese opera in the Xiguan Dawu (西关大屋), and many visited the area in search of a very specific metallic composite: bronze. Just 1 kilometer long, Enning was, and

still is, home to all manner of bronze implements: chopsticks, mantel clocks, tea sets – you name it. Back in the old days, before it became Liwan District, Xiguan was where the rich resided, and bronze objects were considered a token of wealth. During that period, almost every household in the area utilized commodities made from the alloy in their daily lives, be it a birdcage or a small censer. Walking down from the teeming, business-driven Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street to enter Enning Lu, you start get-
ting a sense of ease, as the noise of store employees yelling out their wares fades away and stillness descends. It is a strong analogy between the present and past made clear by a 15-minute walk. Strolling beside verandaed buildings, you know you are on Enning when the glimmer of golden teapots, Buddha statues, gourds and other glittering arrays catch the eye. There is a reason why third-place contestants are presented with medals and trophies made of bronze at the Olympics: bronze has a gorgeous luster. Made from

were loosened, he set up his own business. Though it ran well enough and Su could make a living, it wasn’t until his son started promoting bronzes as luxuries and works of art instead of run-of-the-mill articles that the artisanship became better known to mass media. Pieces were showcased in exhibitions or made to break Guinness World Records. With the advent of the cyber era, Su’s business has greatly expanded. According to him, through Taobao he has doubled his sales figures over the course of a decade.
I make bronzes as if they are art, in the hope that my works can remain to inspire others to pass on this artistry
copper – one of the first-ever metals employed by human beings – and tin, the compound played a crucial role in China’s Bronze Age. Since then, the techniques used to mold it have been in constant use. Su Guangwei is one of the bronzesmiths who sells his goods on Enning and has been plying his craft for many decades. When the Chinese government started to control the production of copper, and thus bronze, in 1958, Su worked in a metallurgic plant, allowing him to continue to practice his workmanship. In 1998, when restrictions
Sales of Xiguan bronze have picked up since 2009, when Guangzhou authorities listed it as one of the city’s intangible cultural heritages. Thanks to this investiture, Enning Lu once more sees people sifting through the street’s offerings, in particular tourists looking for a souvenir. Prices for the bronzes vary depending on size and intricacy. A pair of small bells will set you back just RMB30, while RMB500 will purchase a fine teapot. A full set of utensils, however, can sell for as high as a thousand yuan. Surprisingly, the technology used to make them has hardly changed. Most of the items, kitchen tools in particular, are still handmade. Wu Guoqiang inherited the technique from his father, running the family business that was started by his grandpa in the 30s. Wu began to learn at a young age, watching his father casting, incising, welding and polishing pieces of metal into everyday objects. Years of practice have made him one of the most prominent bronzesmiths among his peers. Not that you could tell by his attire. A cross-country enthusiast, Wu is dressed in a tight black T-shirt and camouflage pants when we meet. Conversing about his work, he says it is simultaneously an engaging and, in some cases, tedious process. An item only takes shape with tens of thousands of hammer strikes, often too much effort for modern-day youngsters. Wu notes that many of his trainees drop out of their apprenticeships, but he is undeterred: “I make bronzes as if they are art, in the hope that my works can remain to inspire others to pass on this artistry.”

Not Smiling
The dark side of Darlie Toothpaste by George McKibbens
L
earning to read Chinese is filled with surprises, but nothing prepares one for decoding the characters on a tube of Darlie Toothpaste (黑人牙膏), which literally translates as ‘Black Man Toothpaste.’ In 1933, Shanghai-based Hawley and Hazel Chemical Company began marketing what was then called Darkie, a brand which paraded a goofy image of American minstrel performer Al Jolson. A vaudeville legend who built his career mocking black people for white audiences, Jolson’s acts reached their peak in the mid-20th century, but the logo was never abandoned, and Darkie (though renamed) remains China’s bestselling toothpaste today.
The black community in Guangzhou is more often than not denied housing and job opportunities, while police profiling and racist slurs are not rare
Like most distasteful promotional ploys, Darkie didn’t go unnoticed for long. In 1985, when Hawley and Hazel relocated to Hong Kong, Colgate-Palmolive acquired half of the company, inheriting what would become a civil rights disaster. After confronting immediate public backlash, Colgate’s then CEO Ruben Mark offered a statement to the New York Times, promising to change the “offensive” name because, he said, “it’s just plain wrong.” The resulting Darlie moniker (which could have easily been a typo, since ‘L’ and ‘K’ are side by side on a keyboard) and brighter image came from a compromise between Colgate and the toothpaste’s Hong Kong manufacturers. The original and bigoted Chinese name, however, remains intact today. 黑人牙膏 is still sold on the mainland and has expanded to Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam and Indonesia. Retro blackface remains routine for East Asia. Recent years would suggest Chinese have a thing for a bright smile, typified by widespread obsession over the pearly

Chinese sports writers repeatedly celebrated how Hui’s “sparkling” teeth were simply magnificent and rarely commented on his skills at the net. Since the beginning of reform and opening up, China has been grappling with newfound diversity. Guangzhou is known worldwide as China’s most African city.
In the 1990s, the stability of the Chinese yuan attracted African entrepreneurs, who could effectively export the manufacturing goods they needed. New positions in southern China have recruited African youth at major firms such as Ethiopia Airlines and Kenya Airways, which send daily flights to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport.

Xiaobei, though it goes by a discomforting colloquial name: ‘Chocolate City.’ When asked about the moniker, Adams Bodomo, a Ghanaian professor and author of Africans in China, dismisses it as innocuous – at least when considered in a larger context. “Africans in Guangzhou have enough problems to worry about than to get upset with that title,” says Bodomo. In his book, those problems are clearly illustrated. The black community in Guangzhou is more often than not denied housing and job opportunities, while police profiling and racist slurs against prominent black individuals – such as Chinese-African pop singer Lou Jing – are not rare.
Today, many children live in an elitist culture that salutes white privilege
Many historical factors lie behind this prejudice, including a lack of diversity and obsession with pale complexions, yet China
does have a revolutionary tradition of partnering with African nations. From the mid-1950s until the early 70s, Premier Zhou Enlai toured African, Arab and Latin American countries seeking bilateral relations. Throughout that era, Chinese propaganda was astoundingly pro-black. Chinese artists enthusiastically painted images of blacks as heroic and courageous, fighting against global oppression alongside the Chinese. In 1966, Mao Zedong proclaimed, “The evil system of Colonialism and Imperialism arose through enslavement and trade of [Africans] and will surely come to an end with the complete emancipation of its people.” This Marxist prediction was not only well received in the developing world, but black American left-wing leaders like W. E. B. Du Bois, Huey P. Newton and George Jackson paid special visits to China and professed sympathy for the nation’s cause. These crucial partnerships helped to secure Chinese votes at the 1971 UN Security Council.
Under Mao, Chinese media embraced an ideal of multi-racial Marxism. When Chinese policy changed in the 80s and opened up to the outside world, the sentiment of its people transformed as well. Today, many children live in an elitist culture that salutes white privilege. The retro blackface image of Darlie continues to line supermarket shelves across the Mainland, even while it is simultaneously on display at the International Slavery Museum in Liverpool, England. For now, consumers continue to reach habitually for Darlie. Apparently, clean teeth still trump a clean conscience.

Socially responsible and hopefully trendsetting, O My Nails has something we’ve yet to see in Shenzhen salons: a predominately non-toxic polish selection. Located in Haiyue’s ghost mall, All City, the shop uses mostly Butter London nail lacquer, described as a “3 free” product. Polish with this distinction gets made without formaldehyde, toluene and DBP (dibutyl phthalate) – yes, carcinogens and an embalming agent are typical ingredients in most nail polish. However, with
a Butter London Deluxe Manicure (RMB148), patrons can relax knowing they won’t inhale or (for nail biters) ingest them. Our treatment began with a cup of delicious, fruity pink rosella tea. We followed our manicurist to a row of plush white leather armchairs, separated from one another by delicate rattan screens and fronted by a sheer white curtain, where our nails were filed then soaked in water. Next, our attendant pushed, scraped and trimmed our cuticles before buffing each nail and rubbing vitamin-infused oil into each finger. After the oil set in, our hands received a mini massage with wildflower and chamomilescented lotion. With our hands feeling refreshed, the manicurist applied a nude base coat, then our chosen indigo color. After the top coat, the attendant placed our hands under a dryer then laid a large cotton blanket over our legs, literally tucking us in. With our glass teacup refilled, we waited for our nails to dry while admiring the nearly 30 pictures of the British royal family on the wall. Quiet, comfortable and private, O My Nails delivers a needed twist on an ancient beauty practice. CG

Emotional overload
Last month I wrote about how extremes of climate can be an external cause of health problems. This month I’m moving on to the main internal cause of health imbalances: emotions. In Chinese medicine there is no separation between the mind and the body, they are linked and rely on each other for proper function. Your emotional health affects your physical health and vice versa. Feeling emotions is natural, but if an emotion persists for months or years, or is extremely intense, then it can cause complications. The most obvious result would be problems with a strong mental-emotional link, like anxiety, depression or insomnia, but many other issues can occur as well. In particular, many digestive predicaments and some skin and pain conditions can be the result of long-term stress. Chinese medicine recognises five main emotions that lead to disease: joy, worry, sadness, fear and anger. Each one has a specific affect on the circulation of qi through the body and each is associated with the function of one organ. Take anger, for example: anger causes qi to rise and affects the liver. Since anger elevates qi, many symptoms will affect the head – headaches, dizziness, ringing in the ears, a red face or a bitter taste in the mouth. The liver regulates the free flow of energy through the body. When this function is affected by anger, stagnation occurs, and this typically leads to discomfort, especially shoulder tension and abdominal pain. I use acupuncture and herbs to rebalance the circulation of energy through the organs and to relieve symptoms caused by the stress. It takes time, but eventually most emotionally linked health issues can be managed.
Cool Shop
Yue Studio gives the impression of a clean and tranquil Taiwanese village. Hidden in a peaceful neighborhood on Tianhe Nan Yi Lu, it is nestled among a great number of small cafes. Looking out of the shop through the French windows, the hustle and bustle of Guangzhou seems to vanish. While the studio doesn’t actually have any roots in Taiwan, it has been influenced by other East Asian cultures. Bei, a Korean artist in his early 30s, spent eight years in Japan, where he was fascinated by the country’s handicrafts and ceramics. Teaming up with Yue, a Hubei girl who enjoys everything about leather, he created his own brand in Korea in 2011. Just a few months ago, they moved their operation to Guangzhou. The studio is divided into two parts. At the front, hand-made ceramic utensils collected in Japan, antique leather handbags from flea markets in Korea, America and Europe, skin products produced domestically and fragrant coffee beans baked by the studio itself are sold. The rear part has been converted into a workshop with a rectangular table in the center and tools on the walls. Pieces of vegetable-tanned leather imported from France

Fitness
Using setbacks to move forward We’ve all dealt with setbacks at different times and in different areas of our lives. Most of us want to achieve success in some form or another, but it’s impossible to live up to every ideal, no matter how hard we work. Life will always throw roadblocks in our way. Fitness is no different. We want to achieve our perfect bodies, but we also want to enjoy life. Furthermore, busy schedules, physical problems and other elements beyond our control often intervene. These are all different types of setbacks. They’re annoying and frustrating, but they can also provide a chance for us to rethink our priorities. Let’s break setbacks down into two categories: internal and external. Internal setbacks occur when you can’t seem to muster the discipline needed for a healthy life. You want to eat better and lose weight, but you backslide… a lot. You go out for one or two drinks and end up eating a pizza. You sleep through your alarm and miss your morning workouts a little too often. This might make you want to give up entirely, but don’t! Just invest some time and get organized. Make a plan that incorporates
a minor change each week. Set a new goal for yourself every month (e.g., running a total of 50 kilometers) and reward yourself when you succeed. Do your food shopping in advance and prep lots of healthy snacks. Make a schedule for attending the gym – and read my article about workout buddies. Finding like-minded friends makes all the difference in the world. External setbacks occur when you’re organized, you’re energized, you’re in the right frame of mind – but then a game changer comes into play. Maybe you get injured, or your work schedule changes, or you go on holiday. I find that a lot of my clients are very good about being disciplined when they’re in a routine, but when something comes along to interrupt that, they struggle. The solution is to keep your eyes on the prize and learn to adapt. Staying focused on your goals and never giving up is something that makes you stronger. Every time you overcome any sort of opposition, your body and mind learn from the accomplishment and reap the rewards. No matter what setbacks you're facing, they should never be an excuse to give up on yourself or your health! // Kara Wutzke is a fitness trainer who offers boot camps and individual classes in Guangzhou. she can be contacted by emailing k2fit.gz@gmail.com or through WeChat iD: KaraK2Fit.

Eating South Korea
A culinary journey through our neighbor’s delectable offerings By Erin Singleton
A spread of Jeju black pig and classic Korean side dishes
T
hink of Korean food, and the first things that’ll come to mind are probably kimchi, bibimbap, BBQ and fried chicken. Don’t get us wrong, we’re all for them. But that’s not the only top-notch grub that can be found in South Korea. A trip to Seoul and the honeymoon destination Jeju Island reveals plenty of other, equally enticing culinary treats. Besides its beaches, natural geological features and volcanic landscape, Jeju Island, in the Korea Strait, is also known for its sea-

food and black pork. The Jeju Black Pig, or heuk-doe-ji, is a breed of domestic swine that is a popular item on the menus of most BBQ restaurants, as its thick skin and layers of fat make it especially well suited to the Korean style of barbecuing. Crispy and flavorsome, the dish is the perfect star of a meal chock full of spicy pickled vegetables. Wash it down with soju (Korean rice wine) and keep stuffing your belly full of meat. Seafood, of course, is the other main ingredient of the island’s local cuisine. In the urban areas, nearly every street is lined with restaurants sporting giant tanks right outside their front door. Each one overflows with flounder, abalone and octopus trying to escape their inevitable fate. Jeon is one of the best ways to enjoy the daily catch. A pan-fried savory pancake stuffed with mussels, clams, cuttlefish and spring onions, it is greasy, salty and incredibly moreish – a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
A Korean institution, fried chicken is crisp, juicy and, in some cases, so chili-drenched you’ll be at risk of hallucinating A hot stone pot with crab, abalone, clams and shrimp is also a delectable, lush affair, the seafood so fresh one can actually smell the breeze of the ocean while eating it. If a carb-load is what you’re craving, any of the many chicken and beer restaurants dotting the island will get your fix just right. The blissfully sinful combo can be found at pretty much any street corner, with stalls, holes in the wall and more sizeable venues serving up hops and deep-fried deliciousness tossed in a sticky, sweet and spicy sauce.

institution, the chicken is crisp, juicy and, in some cases, so chili-drenched you’ll be at risk of hallucinating. It has been fried not just once, but at least twice, as a result of which it shows a thin, crackly and almost transparent skin. Never greasy, always delicious, it’s one of the messiest things you’ll ever eat – usually served with a box of tissues and a bin for bones – so addictively good the finger-licking becomes almost an essential component of the meal. Back to urban Seoul, things only get better. The food scene here is a lot more diverse, with many neighborhoods boasting their own distinct dishes or specialties. Picking just some of them is a truly hard feat. We recommend eating your way through as many as you can. Myeongdong, Seoul’s incredible shopping district, the city’s countless markets and the artsy Insadong neighborhood are all good places to start. Here you can feast on spicy sausages and meatballs, French fries, hot dogs and mile-high cones of softserve. The staples of Korean “fast food” are of course on offer too: gimbap (aka Korea sushi), bibimbap (hot stone pots full of rice, veggies and raw egg), omelets stuffed with fried rice, deep-fried pork covered in a gravy and yukgaejang, a spicy soup made with shredded beef, eggs, scallions and noodles.
Browsing stalls on one of Myeongdong's food streets, in Seoul
A must-try is tteokbokki, glutinous tubular rice cakes usually swimming in gochujang, a red chili pepper sauce. The socalled chips of Korea – ubiquitous and eaten standing up – they make the perfect snack on the go. Particularly delicious is also the hoddeok, a yeasty pancake with a variety of fill-
ings such as sugar, cinnamon and nuts and pressed on a hot, oily griddle until flat and crunchy on the outside and perfectly gooey on the inside. It smells so good it takes a lot of willpower not to immediately take a huge bite, but be careful, because the inside is like molten lava for a solid five minutes.

find lots of young people and some more great food, is where you’ll want to go for some more barbecuing. Opt for one of the many holein-the-wall-type BBQ places, grab a few friends, order up some soju, throw some pork (samgyeopsal) or beef (sogogi) on the grill in the center of the table and dig in. The meat is fresh, the kimchi is spicy and the techno is blaring from neighboring dance halls. You wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. When your liver recovers from the night out in Hongdae, give it a little bit more to suffer from by visiting a makgeolli house, which is basically the Korean version of a pub. A milky, fizzy rice wine once considered a farmer’s drink, the liquor is currently undergoing a hipster revival, and many outlets around Seoul have started selling it. Admittedly quite pungent, the spirit also comes in flavors like apple or chestnut – try them all and order some pancakes to nibble on. Of course, no visit to Seoul would be complete without a dinner of raw seafood at Noryangjin Fish Market. A foodie’s paradise, the market boasts more than 700 stalls selling freshly caught fish, shellfish, squid and plenty of less-identifiable undersea treats. Sannakji (live octopus) should be on the list of things to try, although only for those with an adventurous palate: served fresh, the octopus’ sesame oil-coated tentacles are still wriggling around in between your chompers as you try to slurp them down without choking. If that doesn’t sound appealing, you can always buy some fresh sashimi from any vendor and have them slice it up right in front of you. If you prefer your seafood cooked, take your purchases to one of the restaurants around the edge of the market: they’ll prepare your food and you can eat it at one of the tables provided. One word of advice: in between a food stall and a visit to a local joint, make sure to buy a new pair of pants in one of the many markets. The pair you wore into Korea definitely won’t fit when you leave.

Burn Off Those Calories JEJU ISLAND
SEOUL
•Hike the Seongsan Ilchulbong
•Walking through the Bukchon Village (from palace to palace)
The Seongsan crater on the southeast side of Jeju Island is a beautiful area for hiking. Once you arrive, it is about a 30-minute walk up some stone stairs to its rim. On a clear day, you can stand on the edge and see the whole crater basin, which resembles a tropical rain forest. After hiking back down, take another few flights of stone stairs to the ocean, where you can see the famous haenyeo, or women divers, in action. This group of ladies has been free diving to collect abalone and octopus for generations, and many of them are still going strong at over 70 years old.
One of the best walking trails in Seoul is between two of the famous palaces on the northern side of the city. After exploring the Gyeongbokgung Palace in the morning, walk east towards the Bukchon Village, an old settlement tucked away in the hills boasting some beautifully preserved old-style roofs. There are alleys and hidden areas all through the neighborhood to explore and take pictures. Towards sunset, head further east still to the beautiful Changdeokgung Palace to round out the day. •Namsan Park
•Walking Around Seogwipo
Seogwipo, the city on the southern side of Jeju Island, has several great areas for walking. One of them is the Seogwipo Artist Walk that starts at Lee Jung Seop Park and weaves through the city’s backstreets. There are also several waterfalls, including Jeongbang Falls, which flows right into the ocean. After visiting, you can walk along the harbor to a second waterfall, Cheonjiyeon Falls, nestled in a beautiful park.

Namsan Park in the middle of downtown Seoul is one of the most iconic areas to hike in the city. On top of the hill is the Namsan Tower, which offers unparalleled views of the capital. You have the option to take a cable car up, but if you want to make room for your next street food snack, we suggest treking it. Back on flat ground is the Namsangol Hanok Village, a popular destination on a sunny day to spot people in traditional Korean dress taking their wedding photos.

Singaporean author Kevin Kwan rocketed to fame with his best-selling debut, Crazy Rich Asians. The searing satire of the lifestyles of the rich and famous makes its way to the Mainland in the sequel, China Rich Girlfriend. Expect a romp through the country’s most exclusive clubs and an insider’s look at what it’s like to be gloriously, crazily China-rich.

It’s Chinese blockbuster season with a slew of domestic productions taking over the big screens for the next few weeks. One of the most anticipated is this martial arts action epic based on Xu Haofeng’s best-selling novel, A Monk Comes Down the Mountain. Farewell My Concubine’s Chen Kaige directs a star-studded cast headlined by two-time Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actor winner Aaron Kwok. The film follows an exiled monk who encounters a kung fu master who possesses a powerful book detailing the lost art of the ‘Ape Strike’ technique. When word gets out of its existence, the monk must protect the book and his new master from a number of antagonists.
Shaun the Sheep Movie
Few Mainland movies have been as polarizing as Guo Jingming’s hugely successful Tiny Times series. The saga of four girls trying to have it all (and succeeding) comes to a conclusion on July 9 when part four comes out. Expect fabulous fashion and puzzling plot twists. Love it or hate it, Tiny Times 4 will make a boatload of money.
There is a growing number of bass-ment producers in the country, and few have risen up the ranks like 3asic.

The latest film featuring the chubby “cattype robot," entitled Stand By Me Doraemon, is the first Japanese movie to be released in China in nearly three years. It follows a recent speech by Xi Jinping stressing the importance of cultural exchange between the nations. Fans agree, with the film topping the box office last month.
Reality TV fever has swept the country with some series like Running Man adapted into hit films. That may change as the SAPPRFT has announced new regulations limiting satellite broadcasters to one reality series, most likely per year. Shows must be “close to the masses, with no exaggeration and no mixing the spurious with the genuine.” Tough luck, We Are in Love.

The Biggest Rock Band in the World
On the hunt with Linkin Park BY Andrew Chin
With over 60 million records sold and five consecutive chart-topping albums, Linkin Park lives up to Kerrang’'s lofty claim that they are the biggest rock band in the world right now. Their rabid fanbase extends to Mainland China, where Prince William’s favorite group will be embarking on a five-city stadium tour that stops off at Shenzhen Bay Sports Center on July 19.
A
lready movie stars like Lost in Thailand’s Huang Bo and American Dreams in China’s Huang Xiaoming have Weibo’d their excitement. As the group’s guitarist and vocalist Mike Shinoda explains, the love is mutual. “Our Chinese fans have been so wonderful and loyal,” he gushes. “It’s really exceptional, because we haven’t toured there as much as we would like to. For some places, fans kind of forget about you if you don’t play there. In China, it’s kind of the opposite. We’re very grateful and excited about coming.” It will be the third time that Linkin Park

In regards to performing, the 39-year-old version of myself would crush the 23-yearold version of myself has played China. Their 2007 show set a pre-sales record by selling more than 8,000 tickets on the first day. Turntablist Joe Hahn recalls being told that their 2009 show “was the biggest show for a rock band in China.” Since they last came to these shores, the group has released the electronic-tinged
Living Things and last summer’s The Hunting Party. Frontman Chester Bennington attributes the latter disc’s sound to Shinoda’s desire “to write heavy, hard rock songs.” “We wrote together more as a band,” Bennington adds. “There were more sessions with multiple guys than usual. Typically, we
lead » ARTS
work more like a hip-hop production crew in the studio and behave more like a traditional band during post-production.” Bassist Dave Farrell attributes that desire to exploring different facets of their sound as key to the group’s longevity. “We’re all very different people compared to when we started as a band, but all of us are still sincerely excited about the potential of making new music,” he says. “That moment when someone brings in something new to the studio that makes the hair stand up on your arms still happens. It’s why being in a band is cool in the first place.” After years of record label rejection, Linkin Park shot to fame with their debut album Hybrid Theory. Hits like ‘In the End’ and ‘One Step Closer’ showcased the group’s thoughtful take on nu-metal and were buoyed by Bennington’s soaring vocals and Shinoda’s rhymes. Over the years, the group has evolved into model rock stars, inspiring younger acts like Evanescence while working with artists that have influenced them like Korn, Metallica and Jay-Z. They’ve won two Grammys, but arguably their most treasured accolade is the Global Leadership Award they received from the UN Foundation for their Music for Relief organization. Currently celebrating its 10-year an-
niversary, Music For Relief has raised over USD7 million for victims of disasters, including those affected by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake. A dollar from each ticket sold will be directly donated to the nonprofit. “Music for Relief started from a place of wanting to mobilize the music community and help in different areas,” Farrell explains. “There’s power in numbers, and our goal is to figure out ways to be a louder voice. Whether it means raising money for relief efforts in disaster areas or gathering interest in issues about the environment, it’s about letting those in charge know that the generation coming up cares.” It’s not the only milestone for the band this year. Although Shinoda promises that a new album will be released in 2016, many of the group’s fans are focusing on the 15th anniversary of Hybrid Theory. While the group is demure about any upcoming celebrations, Bennington marvels at the group’s journey. He cracks, “the thing that’s changed the most is probably my hair,” but assures us the current iteration of the group is the best yet. “In terms of creativity and drive, we’re much more focused and have a very clear understanding of how the band works,” he says. “In regards to performing, the 39-year-old version of myself would crush the 23-year-
old version. I’m happy the older we get, the easier it gets and the better we get at it.”

OK Go
Portrait of the artist as a creative agency BY Andrew Chin
In a post-MTV world, going viral is more powerful than topping the charts. Few bands have rocked this new paradigm like OK Go. While they have released four albums of acclaimed indie-rock, their eye-popping music videos have more than 100 million YouTube views. Big brands like Chevy have tapped into their online popularity for quirky ad campaigns, allowing the independent group to chase their creative whims unfettered.
The initial feeling was, ‘wow, it’s finally happening.’ Then we realized people will know us as those treadmill guys for the rest of time
“
There are no real lines between formats in how creativity bubbles out of you,” frontman Damian Kulash explains. “We chase music, we chase videos, we chase the live shows. It feels all the same to us.” Forged in the fertile Chicago underground of the late 1990s, OK Go always stood out. While tipping his hat to artier peers like The Sea and the Cake and Lonesome Organist, Kulash admits, “our stuff was always much poppier than that. All the nerdy rock boys would roll their eyes at us and all their girlfriends would really love it. We were a bit more of Cheap Trick’s version of Chicago.” Adding to their mystique was their commitment to visuals. Although they made USD60 for early gigs, they spent USD300 creating four-color silk-screened posters to
28

decorate the stage. “People started to recognize our name from that,” Kulash notes. “You realize these art projects are fun and good because a band needs to have its whole other universe. You might as well chase any creative ideas you have, even if some of them aren’t strictly music.” Several years into their career, the band’s break came by accident. A homemade video of the quartet performing a choreographed dance in their backyard to ‘A Million Ways’ became an online hit, despite being only emailed to their friends. The follow-up, ‘Here It Goes Again,’ saw the group do another intricate routine while riding treadmills. The Grammy Award-winning music video catapulted the group to fame, with more than 20 million YouTube views to date. “The initial feeling was, ‘wow, it’s finally happening,’” Kulash recalls. “Then we realized people will know us as those treadmill guys for the rest of time. We had to make a pretty quick decision. Do you run from it or embrace it as something we do? We doubled down on it.” Imaginative music videos have since been the group’s calling card. They constructed a Rube Goldberg machine for ‘This Too Shall Pass,’ danced with dogs in ‘White Knuckles’ and created a colorful smorgasbord literally smeared on the screen for ‘WTF.’ Brands have noticed, including domes-
tic furniture chain Red Star Macalline. The group sent three weeks in Shanghai filming a commercial set to ‘I Won’t Let You Down’ that had them literally walking on the ceiling. “Pretty much everyone’s goal is to have creative autonomy, but it’s challenging,” Kulash admits. “I don’t really want to be running a business, but this way, it’s all clear from the get go. You guys want to get a million eyeballs and we want to have complete creative control.” That free spirit has seeped into their music. Last year’s Hungry Ghost saw the group moving towards a more electronic direction, which Kulash admits was a surprise. “The last two albums have been more about chasing the feeling within you and seeing if you can get to it,” he explains, noting he writes as many songs on synthesizers as he does on guitar. Their Mainland fans will get to enjoy the group in the flesh when they bring their inaugural China tour to A8 Live on July 28. Always innovative, the group has begun to introduce Q&A sessions with the audiences from the stage during shows. “We get a lot of Star Wars questions,” Kulash admits. “We have very nerdy fans.”

Mirrored Gardens
Sowing a space for reflection By Jocelyn Richards, photos by Zeng Han, courtesy Vitamin Archive
T
he outskirts of Panyu stretch father than the eye can see, like the barren grasslands in Slow West, wild with strangers on unknown missions. Dust, poorly marked roads and unruly mopeds contribute to underlying disquiet. Perhaps that’s why the left turn onto X27B, a pleasant, tree-lined avenue plucked from the cover of some French landscape calendar, feels so surreal. All at once, the curtain lifts, exposing an undiscovered world. Mirrored Gardens, a joint project between Vitamin Creative Space and Sou Fujimoto, a Japanese architect known for his permeable, delicate structures, doesn’t follow the same routine as art districts 798 or Redtory. The space, which hosts regular international exhibitions every month, is not trying to lure imitator artists to spend too much on a latte or yellowed Mao posters. There’s not even a coffee shop on site. Instead, the gardens aim to create a confluence of contemporary art, quotidian life and the natural world. Sound deep? It is.
Here, everything has a purpose. Imperfections feel calculated
Three years in the making, Mirrored Gardens officially opened last November, while tours began this past January. Set amidst a larger park that offers horse rides and afternoon tea by a pond, the Japanesestyle environment was built around the natural topography. Wooden steps and platforms wind in and amongst mounds of earth. Dainty bamboo stalks complement a stately row of palm trees. The adjoining architecture, though ultra-futuristic inside – where the exhibitions are housed – does not impose, but blends into its natural surroundings with an exterior made of seashells and tree branches. According to the folks at Vitamin Creative Space, the gardens are intended to allow humans to tap into energy created from everyday, mundane activities. Over time, repetitive motions give life to the area, which in turn provides rich nutrients for its inhabitants. Mirrored Gardens investigates the spatial status that naturally emerges from a synthesis of art, agriculture and landscape. Boxco Huang, who commutes nearly two hours to work in the gardens every day, con-
siders the space a privilege that instills richer experience into an often colorless world. “I start every morning by cleaning the entire premises. Sometimes, I can actually start to feel the space – the texture of the floor, the weather outside… it’s like a practice to sense the world around you.” When Huang returns to the city each night, Mirrored Gardens – or at least the perspective it cultivates – is carried with him. On the hot afternoon we visit, the airy buildings echo around installation space-age art by Olafur Eliasson, a Danish-Icelandic artist who incorporates elemental materials into his work. Abstract but grounded, the exhibit – which runs until July 12 – combines everything from celestial magnetic rocks to illusions born from natural light and mirrors. Walking through the displays, it’s clear that Eliasson’s work highlights notions manifested in the gardens – a composite of humanness, materials, time and randomness. “Everyone who comes to the gardens will have their own unique feeling here,” Huang almost whispers, looking out the window. “You can find yourself in it.” Silence hangs in every corner. A handful of Huang’s colleagues drum robotically on their Macs, trim and tidy like the spring shrubbery. It’s hard not to wonder what they’re really working on, cooped up in a quasi-commune in the middle of nowhere. The office has only two walls, allowing sunshine and plenty of mosquitos – which the staff call “a little too friendly” – to join in the gathering. Piles of novels lie scattered
on a wooden table in the shop, offsetting a dominative symmetry. Here, everything has a purpose. Imperfections feel calculated. Before heading home, we spend an hour exploring the grounds beyond the garden. A desolate forest path leads to all kinds of adventures: abandoned cabins, stuffed cows and a forgotten Taoist temple. The sense of time descends loudly as we wander among deity statues faded by centuries of summer suns. Up in the hills, the picturesque land breathes in a way that the cosmeticized gardens cannot. Vegetation grows untamed, creeping madly over the trail as if to protect aged secrets from visitors. Though mere paces from the park, sights here are feral and free – alive in their candidness.

THE Want generation
A Chinese millennial reviews Eric Fish‘s new book, China‘s Millennials by Karoline Kan
W
hen American journalist Eric Fish started teaching at a Nanjing university in 2007, the then 22-year-old found himself drawn to his students’ stories. While some were just a few years younger than he was, the experiences of these so-called 'millenials' – a generation to which I myself belong – seemed unique to China. As Fish became more familiar with just how good our lives are compared to our parents’ and grandparents’, he also uncovered the distinct difficulties we face. His book, China’s Millennials provides new perspectives on a generation that has come to reflect the social changes unfolding in modern China. He frames stories around the defining features of growing up in China: from the nationwide college entrance examination, the gaokao, to mandatory military training in school, junxun; from how we choose our future careers to the gender inequalities we face at marrying age. As well as considering societal pressures, China’s Millennials is very much a book about this country’s politics. One cannot be understood without the other. “I purposely focused on how politics is affecting youth and how youth are affecting politics, because it is a symbiotic relationship,” he says. But is this focus misleading, given the pervasive stereotype of Chinese millennials as being largely apolitical? Indeed, Fish admits that when he asks young people about politics, it’s rarely high on their list of concerns. How much of a role does politics really play in our lives? “Politics is a funny thing in China. The government has done a good job over the past two decades backing away from visibility in day-to-day life, but politics is never really too far away… especially in arenas concerning youth,” Fish explains, using the gaokao – which many people consider totally apolitical – to illustrate his point. Most high school students obsess over the exams as a necessity for a prosperous future, but Fish argues that few consider how high-stakes testing has provided a form of social control for Chinese rulers for over a millennium. As well as the gaokao, China’s Millennials also discusses the impact of other major state strategies on young people, such as the One-Child Policy – which has aggravated the gender imbalance and put pressure on children to care for their parents – and the hukou system which stops rural youth from keeping pace with their urban counterparts.

July 2015 / GZ / www.thatsmags.com
Fish also addresses cultural challenges, like the entrenched gender stereotypes that prevent women from mirroring men’s economic progress. These problems, he argues, may often stem from China’s success, as people’s expectations outpace the realities of the country’s development.
Like Americans, [Chinese millennials] have become disillusioned in finding that the realities of adulthood in a postrecession world aren’t quite what they expected Fish’s book gives me a chance to reflect on my own childhood and views on topics like education, careers, marriage and the pursuit of freedom. As a Chinese millennial, I experienced most, if not all, of what he presents in his work. I agree that, while many young people in China would not list politics at the top of their priorities, it influences every aspect of our lives. Corruption, too, has a drip-down effect and may lie behind many of the things that we complain about.
My peers and I ignore injustices in our lives and treat unfairness as an inevitable part of the human condition. Most of the time, we notice problems but choose not to challenge them. Instead, we carefully calculate the potential gains and losses before attempting change, or simply try to figure out how to benefit from corruption. Challenges to the status quo are viewed as the actions of the depressed losers who fail to benefit from it. It is this trait of our generation that I find depressing. But when viewed in a wider context, the challenges facing the Chinese millennials are shared by our contemporaries worldwide. Jean Twenge’s 2006 book on American millennials, Generation Me, concluded that our young counterparts in the US are more tolerant, confident, open-minded and ambitious than those before them. But they are also more cynical, depressed, lonely and anxious. Fish sees this parallel as a valuable consideration. “You can recognize a lot of the same tendencies in Chinese millennials today,” he argues. “Like Americans, they were brought up during a period of economic boom with somewhat lofty expectations, but then started to become disillusioned when [they found that] the realities of adulthood in a post-recession world weren’t quite what they had expected. “Both young populations are facing similar problems of higher unemployment, devalued college degrees, wealth inequality, lack of direction, lack of meaning and a higher entrance fee for the status and the dreams that their parents had.” This paints an unpromising picture of my generation. However, Fish sees hope, noting “(China’s millenials) are definitely starting to speak up more and are becoming less afraid of pushing change. “The stereotype, for a long time, has been that this generation only cares about money. But that’s not broadly true anymore. A lot of youths, especially among the growing middle class, are starting to care very much about less material things like the environment, various social causes, spiritual endeavors and even politics. “There [also] seems to be growing empathy for those who’ve been left behind amid China’s growth. These all seem to be positive trends,” Fish concludes. But he can only wonder how they’ll develop in the coming years. “In recent Chinese history, positive trends have had a way of being abruptly halted from above. Hopefully, that’s not how it will pan out this time.”

Turn on, Tune in, Drop Out
Interview with Liz Carter, author of Let 100 Voices Speak by Oscar Holland
“Social media has accelerated the process of forming different counter-cultures and it has accelerated societal acceptance of those subcultures”
I
t is difficult to talk about the Internet in China without dealing in truisms. Here’s one: since the country’s first email was sent in September 1987 (reading “Across the Great Wall we can reach every corner in the world”), the Internet has transformed China and changed everything. This is the assertion offered by author, journalist and a former editor at Tea Leaf Nation, Liz Carter, in her upcoming book Let 100 Voices Speak: How the Internet is Transforming China and Changing Everything. Her premise appears both selfevident and impossibly broad. Yet the book’s title misleads. Rather than assessing every way in which the web has overhauled the fabric of the country – from e-commerce to online gaming – Carter looks specifically at social media. This means largely (although not exclusively) one platform: Sina Weibo. She might have been better off just saying so. Despite the title’s grand aspirations, the book benefits from its granular focus. In fact, Let 100 Voices Speak is as much a compilation of the major events, memes and phenomena to have emerged in the Web 2.0 era as it is a prescriptive analysis. As such, it neatly fills a gap in the field. “At the time [I was approached by the
publishers], all mainstream media were writing about what was going on with social media in China,” Carter explains on the phone from her home in Washington, D.C. “But there hadn’t yet been a book-length overview of it that put it all into context. “I chose to focus just on the areas that I found most interesting – the areas that seemed to be [those of] greatest change. I’ve always been interested in the way people’s attitudes change about cultural issues like LGBT, feminism and politics. So I focused on that.” It is here that Let 100 Voices Speak excels. China-watchers will be well-versed in the restrictions facing web users that dominate the opening and closing chapters (in the form of censorship and the post-2013 crackdown). But Carter seems most in her element when discussing social trends. Her section on counter-cultures is particularly informative. Taking us through social media’s role in propagating terms like diaosi, tuhao, and danmei (roughly translating as ‘losers,’ ‘new money’ and ‘slash fiction’ respectively), Carter forges links between the attitudes developed online and those rippling outward into wider society. But while the author makes a case for the Internet’s role in strengthening new identities, she sees Weibo as a facilitator,
not a creator. “I think it’s more of a speed and a reach issue. [Social media] has accelerated the process of forming different counter-cultures and it has accelerated societal acceptance of those subcultures,” she explains with a directness reflected in her writing style throughout the book. On this matter and others, Let 100 Voices Speak possesses a refreshing lack of conjecture on issues prone to being editorialized. Rather than grand denouncements or an overt celebration of activism, the book’s content seems symptomatic of an author in awe of the power of connectivity. “I was a pretty nerdy kid growing up so I fell in love with the Internet a long time before I knew anything about China,” she explains. “I grew up in an online community based around a fantasy book series [Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time] – everybody talking about it in forums. So when I was learning Chinese I wanted to see whether there were similar sorts of online communities forming in China. It turns out: of course there are. Because people are people.” // Let 100 Voices speak: how the internet is transforming

Love and Lies
Expecting the whole truth from a partner is naive by Dr. Al Chambers
L
overs are complicit in their lying. The wise response to this is not to start blaming, but rather to forget about the silly idea that all relationships, love affairs and marriages actually live up to the mad idea of total and perfect honesty. We need to concede that all we can do is accept dishonesty as a natural process and not expect that anyone is somehow above such humanness. We are not. When I was young, there was this rather strange idea that all children caught lying should have their mouths washed out with soap. Now, what I think about that is, 'Really? Seriously?' If we were to do that to adults today, we would all be walking around with bubbles floating out of every orifice! Why do we so readily mangle reality? Why do we so easily lie and withhold and exaggerate to people we ‘love,' and, importantly, why do we want to be lied to (but only on our terms)? Two reasons, perhaps. The first is that we desperately want to be accepted and recognized and made to be part of a group or a couple – it feels good to be wanted. Love motivates so much of our early interaction with the world, so what we do later is designed to get it and keep it. We are afraid of being abandoned. As one comedian so brilliantly put it years ago, when we meet someone new we are not meeting that real person, we are
44
July 2015 / GZ / www.thatsmags.com
meeting their agent. We are meeting someone who is selling something, i.e. themselves – and of course we all know how honest and straightforward sales people are. This holds for all situations, except perhaps for the one honest interaction we have, which is when we are born and meet the world for the first time and still have an authentic nature, unbent by social pressure! Secondly, we lie because we can. It is a powerful part of our brain’s innate ability both to lie and to (try to) detect lying. Imagine the evolutionary advantages to deceiving and taking advantage of others that allowed our ancient human ancestors to attain food, shelter and sex. Those gifted at seduction and cheating will have the best chance of survival, as will their offspring. And if we are on guard with embellishment, exaggeration, withholding and presenting the good side to colleagues or new members of our volleyball team, imagine how we twist ourselves up in knots when meeting new potential lovers – which is often everybody of a chosen particular sex! Love and sex always start with and build on fantasy, illusion and deceit of both ourselves and the other person. And many will say, “Yes, I know that is true for other people, but me and my new man are so compatible and honest and straight and we share everything – no lies, no hidden agendas, really!” This
idealizing of our new relationships is part of the lying to oneself; it is the only way we can actually continue to be together because honesty with the self or the other would blow all beginnings out of the water very quickly. Men regularly self-deceive about female sexual interest; men are inclined to believe that women are more interested than they in fact are, and often report being deceived about a woman’s intention to have sex. Of course women fake orgasm and excitement more often (as a female friend recently commented upon seeing a luxury sports car roar by, “Women can fake anything to get things like that!”). Sorry guys! During sex, both men and women commonly imagine they are with someone besides their lovers and lie about how attracted they are to the person they are with. Men lie about how much sex they’ve had; women lie about how much they haven’t. Deceit is commonly accepted as a part of the process of seduction in both sexes. We do not want to know everything our lover is thinking, but we hope beyond hope that the truth, if known, would do nothing but boost our fragile egos. So it is best to keep the tacit game of deception going. So do not be surprised if you are lied to, that will happen. Just figure out what is okay or not for you, and make decisions based on your own desires and values. Decide what your boundaries on deception are. Is it okay to lie a little? A lot? About affairs, money, drugs, dinner, your family, the bad smell in the bathroom? Love is no reservoir of transparent honesty. Perhaps it is ultimately a game of mutual deception, a game we should appreciate for what it is: our human quest for security and connection, a fumbling and imperfect attempt to be okay for ourselves and others. Shakespeare knew this better than anyone. We can demand an unattainable ‘holier than thou’ relationship, throwing stones when we ought to be self-reflecting, or perhaps we can listen to Fleetwood Mac and keep in mind this common desire, whether we admit it or not, “to believe in you. Tell me, tell me, tell me lies, tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies…” // Dr. Al Chambers is a psychologist and director of mental

Faster than a Speeding Bullet
The growth of overseas camps By Lena Gidwani
D
erek Li has just turned 17. He studies at one of the top local schools in Guangzhou and will start his penultimate year of senior school this August. It’s July, and that can only mean one thing: summer vacation. While most of Derek’s friends will spend the next four weeks slogging away at holiday homework, Derek is about to embark on an adventure. In a few days, he’ll hop on a plane bound for the United States, where he’ll sit through English language classes and drink in American culture with a home-stay experience in Boston. He’ll head to San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington D.C. and New York, and visit the campuses of some of the biggest and most prestigious names in American tertiary education. Derek, a shy, thoughtful student, is confident his summer experience will give him an extra edge in the fierce competition among Chinese students to get into a top college. The price tag for this ‘experience?’ Undisclosed. His folks aren’t telling, as it’s just not kosher to brag, is it? As China undergoes a drastic transition from a manufacturing-based economy to a service-oriented one, the education sector in particular has benefited tremendously. The surge in students traveling abroad – especially to the US and Europe – for the summer is the latest manifestation of China’s booming overseas education business. Until lately, the vast number of Chinese education agencies that brokered students’ entry to colleges and private high schools concentrated on preparing them at home in China. They drilled well-off fee payers in all forms of dialogue and social graces; in the intricacies of the various admissions processes, aiming to give them an upper hand. But as wealth increases, so are the ambitions of parents and their offspring. Now, it’s all about sending the kids off for a few weeks
to ‘yingdi’ – camp programs for children. With total costs in excess of RMB40,000, and sometimes reaching RMB100,000, it’s a badge of prestige for Chinese mothers and fathers. More than that, it’s also a brilliant way for overseas schools and universities to partner up with local educational and training institutions to make money during those otherwise quiet summer months.
The surge in students traveling abroad – especially to the US and Europe – for the summer is the latest manifestation of China’s booming overseas education business
One such institution is New York-based Ivy Summer School, which specializes in summer camps in the US for Chinese students – and more recently, the other way around. Chairwoman Jojo Zou says they offers almost 30 different types of programs in America, depending on budget and the student’s academic preferences and interests. From concentrated activities like volleyball, hockey, horse-riding, swimming lessons from an Olympic coach, cooking, film studies and music at the prestigious Juilliard School of Music, to band camp, space camp and various others camps at Brown, Duke, UC Berkeley, Brown, Dartmouth, Stanford, MIT, Princeton, Yale, Columbia and more. Indeed, the options are just baffling. Zou knows this market well and is acutely aware
that the future isn’t just in Chinese students going overseas; it’s increasingly about American students coming to China to learn more about the 21st-century powerhouse and interact with locals in a lingo that they’ve been attempting to master back home. “It works both ways,” says Zou. “Families entrust us with the task of educating their children outside of the regular education system. We provide a cross-cultural service that is very beneficial for students looking to expand their horizons, meet friends and alumni from future overseas schools, and also get a chance to meet industry greats and get up close and personal with professionals in elite circles. “In a nutshell, we bring out the best in a child and help them realize their full potential.” Zou speaks from personal experience. The charismatic and very well-connected former TV host is a graduate of Columbia University, an Ivy League college, and holds a master's degree in international public affairs. As you read this, Derek Li will be playing golf in Massachusetts, visiting the Google campus, and engaging in advanced programming and application development at MIT. How’s that for a future Chinese leader?

EAt/drink GOSSIP Skies of blue have characterized this year’s summer solstice, and we’re fighting harder and harder against the urge to leap, uninhibited, into the fountains of Canton Place. It’s hot here, folks. And while Guangzhou still isn’t classified as one of China’s ‘three furnaces,’ we’re beginning to wonder how many shots of baijiu they had before making that determination. This month has been slower than normal, with the majority of commotion unfolding on Xingsheng Lu. The most promising to open its doors is In Love, a cafe and restaurant with two floors of indoor seating and a patio worth falling head over heels for. We’ve also seen signs for Italian restaurant Vigor, Kico Bar, Gala’s and The Cove, a collection of bars on the strip. For now, feel free to explore at your own risk, and check back for in-depth reviews this August. Sadly, Coffee Club just couldn’t withstand the rivalry, and has retreated from the area. But don’t fret – the chain still has several bases around town, including inside Taojin’s Friendship Store and on Liuhua Lu, to stir up smoothies as usual. Nearby, our radar has detected some Russian activity on the border of Tianhe Bei Lu. Oversized bouquets and a red carpet decorated the threshold of Katusha this June, which looks like the newest to join the ranks of Guangzhou’s Eastern European eateries. Mill House (p60), which has already updated its menu (and lowered prices!) since we last visited, is drawing more ayis than we ever thought imaginable for a classic New York-style pizza joint in Liwan District. And then there’s Hoi Fan, set to open yet another branch near GTLand Plaza on Huacheng Dadao. Down the road, Henry’s Coffee and Bakery is firing up its ovens for the first time – as if this city wasn’t hot enough.

Off the Vine
Pinot Grigio DOC Trentino
S
ometimes, we become so wrapped up in the imbibing of wine, savoring its aromas, its playfulness on the palate, that we forget to consider its origin. Wine country can be stunningly beautiful, and as those who have made trips to regions like Napa and Bordeaux will tell you, the scenery is (almost) as gratifying as the produce. That is particularly true for the vineyards of Mezzacorona. Located at the foot of the Dolomite Mountains, the rolling hills and wide plains of the estate are encompassed by breathtaking glaciers and tranquil
lakes. A series of microclimates allows for a variety of growing conditions with significant differences in temperature and humidity. Grapes are raised in traditional fashion, pergolas stretching themselves across the landscape as far as the eye can see, before undergoing modern winemaking techniques to create a sumptuous bottle of vino. Mezzacorona is clearly proud of their habitat – they’ve even named a range of wines after a local stronghold, Castel Firmian. Almost 500 years old, the structure was clearly not built as an impressive showpiece, but still lends an air of history and
tradition to the area. Amongst the Castel Firmian varietals, the pinot grigio is, naturally for an Italian winery, a highlight. One of Mezzacorona’s most highly praised bottles, it has gone home with awards from a number of bodies, including the ISWC. Its aloof acidity and mildly fruity aroma make it a pleasant aperitif to a light summer meal.
Sweetened soy milk 豆浆
Powdered lotus root 粉藕
Coconut water 椰子水
Probably the numberone beverage in China, soy milk made from soybeans has a slightly sweet, smooth taste. If you are not a fan of the original flavor, there are plenty of options available: chocolate, vanilla, low-fat – even one that tastes like regular milk. Brimming with health benefits, it has low-sugar content, the ability to accelerate calcium absorption and zero cholesterol.
Lotus root is used in a number of dishes in Asia, but the powdered drink lets you enjoy all the benefits with a few fulfilling gulps. It is said to help with digestion, blood pressure and circulation, cholesterol and depression. Lotus root is often combined with other roots and flowers, like osmanthus for sweetness, and can be found in almost any local or international supermarket, as well as herbal shops.
Not to be confused with coconut milk, coconut water is a clear liquid extracted from green coconuts with a sweet, nutty taste. It is low in calorie content, fat-free, cholesterol-free and has loads of potassium. The drink is popular in hot tropical climates, like Southeast Asia and the Caribbean – and for a good reason: it contains less sugar than most sports drinks and is rich in electrolytes.

Six of the best… Morning coffee alternatives
Green tea 绿茶
Green tea may not be a common breakfast drink among locals, but its stimulating effect may actually be the closest thing to coffee that isn’t coffee. Thanks to the presence of caffeine and tannin, green tea can help you deal with fatigue, sleepiness and lack of energy, and it can also have positive long-term influences, thanks to its anti-aging, anticarcinogenic, anti-diabetic and metabolism-increasing effects.
Peanut milk 花生奶
One more alternative to regular milk, the peanut variety is a good source of vitamins E and B6, magnesium and unsaturated fats. Made by mixing softened nuts with water, it is also quite a nutritious beverage, with one serving easily powering you up till lunchtime. However, since one cup contain as many as 200 calories (mostly coming from fat), it’s important to not overdo it – just as with actual peanuts.
Grass jelly 仙草
If you want to try something you won’t ever see at Starbucks, go with grass jelly. Made by boiling herbs and leaves for several hours and adding starch, it can be served as solid jelly cubes or as a thick and smooth drink. The taste – slightly reminiscent of cough syrup and licorice – may take a while to get used to, but grass jelly is known to have various positive effects on your digestive system. Natallia Slimani

Dinner for One
Breaking bread with the woman who is making solo meals chic by WILL WU
As a senior photography editor for well-known national media outlets like CBN Weekly, Shanghai-based Yanni Cai was in an enviable professional position. Yet in 2011 she left the career which she had so actively pursued for eight years and set foot into an arena that she never anticipated: cookery.
“
After resigning, I spent most of the time at home. Eating gave me a big headache. I felt tired and a bit distressed at having to rotate from toast to delivery. But it’s also weird to eat alone in a restaurant,” says Cai. It was this quandary that led Cai to seek help online. “I searched the Internet for videos to teach me how to cook, but I became really confused after watching them. Then I thought, why not film cooking videos myself?” Cai soon put her idea into action, and her first effort was uploaded to Youku.com in November 2012. Lasting for only three
54
July 2015 // GZ // www.thatsmags.com
minutes, the micro-film was the first episode of her Eat Alone series. In it, a friend of Cai’s cooks a household cold dish: pidan doufu (preserved eggs with tofu). Instead of the sizzling frying sounds and singsong narration you might experience on A Bite of China, the video has springy background music and gentle lighting. Subtitles on screen display ingredients’ names and simple cooking steps. Everything appears relaxed, calming and comfortable. Since then, Cai has built up quite a collection of clips, uploading recipes on a weekly basis. Each episode features a person whipping up a common dish, like mapo doufu or
clay pot rice. Before shooting, Cai usually dines with the home chefs, during which she learns about their backgrounds and notes down what touches her most about their lives. At the same time, she also decides upon what to make with them. No fancy foods are featured, as the program caters to people who can’t work wonders with a wok, but refuse to make do with instant meals or delivery. Those featured in the videos are neither professionally trained cooks nor highly sought-after celebrities. They are just average Joes. In Eat Alone, cooking is not just a process of turning raw foodstuffs into something ed-

Food interprets the host’s character, represents their emotional experiences and brings out his or her attitude towards life
ible, but a ritual. Comfortably dressed guests attend to their ingredients meticulously using aesthetically designed utensils. “If you must know how I pick [people] to appear in the films, I would say they are people who pursue a better quality of life,” says Cai. Conveying the message “eat well even when you eat alone,” Cai’s series has managed to capture people’s hearts, especially those living in urban areas. To date, there are already at least 40 Eat Alone episodes, which together have garnered more than nine million views on Youku.com. On Weibo, Eat Alone’s account has attracted over 400,000 followers. Building on the web traffic, September 2014 saw Cai team up with journalist Zhang Aiqiu to transform her digital work into a print publication, telling the stories behind her three-minute videos. Suffice it to say, Eat Alone has become quite a success. You may be wondering how many people are involved in this project. The answer is three: Cai herself, the cameraman and the
guest chef. It usually takes one day to finish shooting, but three or four days of editing – though it can take as much as two weeks. “Food is actually a carrier,” explains Cai. “It interprets the host’s character, represents their emotional experiences and brings out his or her attitude towards life. I hope to present the relationship between the food and the host through editing what has been filmed. As a result, I invest more time on post-production.” Response has not been universally positive. Cai has also received negative critiques about unconventional methods of cooking
classic dishes. Dark mutterings accompanied episode 27, for instance, when instead of using traditional sweet sesame stuffing to make tangyuan (汤圆, a rice dumpling that often serves a ceremonial purpose), chocolate was substituted. Netizens also deplored the inauthentic Sichuan style of the noodles in episode 16. “There are a thousand hamlets in a thousand people’s eyes. Similarly, cooking methods are not limited to just one. Why not have a curious mind and embrace the surprises life gives to you?” says Cai, who, according to her ex-colleagues, has become softer and more human since starting Eat Alone. Some people perceive Cai’s series as a band-aid for lonely hearts, but she points out that not every host in the film is single. Some are in stable relationships, others are married. She sees her videos as more about being comfortable enjoying those solitary moments. “Loneliness can be easily wiped out if you have a clear goal towards the life you desire most,” she says. “Being alone is not equivalent to feeling lonely.”

Hero
Superman’s surrender by WILL WU
I
f not for specific reasons, like an unbridled night of KTV or a desperate need for new athletic gear, few people would journey to Tianhe Hui Shopping Mall, despite its convenient location on Tianhe Zhijie. But now that Hero, a new restaurant firing up authentic Southeast Asian, has opened its doors nearby, the mall is swarming with fervent foodies looking for taste with a kick. No extravagant ceremony or media hype accompanied Hero’s modest entry into Guangzhou’s fierce F&B market, yet the eatery has received positive feedback so far. When asked what secret weapon is used to capture the hearts of even the pickiest Guangzhou denizens, Vincent Liu, the manager of the restaurant, just shrugs. “We innovate.” By “innovate”, Liu actually means ‘blend.’ Let’s be realistic. Foreign cuisine (mostly) does not yet suit the local market due to differences in palates, climate and availability of ingredients. Only when it is altered, by incorporating more familiar flavors, can imported culinary styles survive. With this principle in mind, Hero prepares traditional Southeast Asian dishes with Cantonese tweaks. The fried shrimp with Thai sauce and cit-
56
July 2015 // GZ // www.thatsmags.com
ronella (RMB128) is a good example. Twice deep-fried, the unshelled shrimps can be eaten whole, yet the meat (and shell) have a surprisingly tender texture. Coating the crustaceans is a potent melange of mashed garlic and fermented soya beans, a trademark of Cantonese cuisine. The sliced citronella, on the other hand, pays tribute to Thai dishes. When combined, these seasonings create an intoxicating effect. It’s hard not to reach for another greasy morsel, even though we know we’re in for some extra internal heat, as TCM would warn. At Hero, the Thai curry, made with a coconut milk base, comes thinner and soupier than its Indian counterpart. The stewed brisket with yellow curry (RMB58) is chewy and milder than expected, a nod to the preferences of local clientele. Though the dish passed our palate test with flying colors, it’s worth mentioning we had quite a stand off with the potato blocks, which failed to soak up any of the rich curry.
The iced lime drink (RMB15) is a go-to summer indulgence in most Southeast Asian countries. Sweet and sour, this chartreuse treat refreshes with a tangy aftertaste that combats the fiery remnants of plentiful hot peppers.
As satisfying as the food is, Hero’s interior leaves much to be desired. Decked out in a murky tone, the whole restaurant feels dim and unappetizing. And the abhorrent Thai currency wallpaper is just plain creepy when paired with such a somber environment. Still, if you’re yearning for spicy fusion and could care less about ambiance, Hero just might save your day. Price: Approx. RMB80 Who’s going: Cantonese trying to improve their spice tolerance Good for: Thai curry that won’t add extra pounds
After diving into robust fare, it’s nice to balance the meal with a lighter beverage.

Grandma’s Home
West Lake awaits by Tristin Cheung
O
riginating in Hangzhou in 1998 and quickly earning a stellar reputation as a family-friendly restaurant, Grandma’s Home has developed into a legend, boasting over 80 locations in more than 20 cities across China – each with an endless queue. Wu Guoping, founder of Grandma’s Home, is a pursuer of fashion as well as perfection, exemplified by the diversity of designs adopted in each restaurant. The branch housed on the sixth floor of Happy Valley embodies a rustic theme with wooden pavilions, patio furniture, a touch of cobblestone and plants. Specializing in Hangzhou cuisine, Grandma’s menu features a mix of classic fare, with stars and thumbs indicating the overall popularity of each dish. Even those with one star, however, don’t taste nearly as bad as one would expect, least of all the fresh and crisp fried lettuce (清炒莴笋, RMB15) and steamed shrimp with garlic and cellophane noodles (蒜蓉粉丝虾 RMB35). For the little ones, Grandma’s Home prepares snow cones, smoothies and ice cream (RMB15-28), available in a variety of flavors. Eschewing fancy nouveau creations, this eatery focuses on homely dishes for fair prices, such as the braised pork in brown sauce (红
烧肉 RMB45), tea-scented chicken (茶香鸡, RMB45) and sauteed chops with sweet and sour sauce (糖醋排骨, RMB48). Most get the job done, but the flavor is nothing most locals couldn’t cook up in their own kitchen. The socalled tea-scented chicken, for example, comes overcooked without any lingering scent of the leaf. Despite the mundaneness of the food, it somehow manages to draw hundreds of clientele every day, lunch and dinner alike, no matter the weather. An hour-long wait is normal. If you show up later than 7pm, chances are you won’t get on the waiting list at all. Reservations aren’t available, so we recommend arriving early, grabbing a number and coming back later. To ease patrons’ minds, waiters and waitresses take turns offering fruits and candy, while an overhead recording (in a child’s voice) constantly reminds guests to keep an eye on their personal belongings. If you don’t mind the wait, dining in commotion and kids barreling about your seat, Grandma’s Home is the place to dig into authentic Hangzhou eats. Price: Approx. RMB60 per person Who’s going: Families with boisterous kids Good for: Dining in high decibels, waiting your heart out

Einstein Bistro
Give in to Berlin
Text and photos by Matthew Bossons
E
instein Bistro is in a rather inconspicuous location. Its exterior looks more like a storefront than a restaurant entrance, but don’t let that deter you. Tucked away on a back street that splits from Longkou Xi Lu, this establishment is one worth finding. Since we prefer visiting local, family-run businesses as opposed to large corporate chains, Einstein is right up our alley (quite literally). Owned and operated by a young German man, the food is authentic, the service is affable and the beer is cold. German grub is known for its hearty nature, with substantial portions of meat and vegetables (but mostly meat). Toss in a couple of delicious casseroles and you have yourself one wildly underrated cuisine. Einstein delivers on all fronts. The food is delicious, with a desirable home-cooked feel, while the beer is authentically German. Menu highlights include the cheese sausage (RMB22), the always-delicious Nurnberger bratwurst (RMB20), and the must-try potato-onion casserole (RMB18). With its rich, creamy flavor and a healthy (or unhealthy, depending on your perspective) dose of cheese, you may want to order a second. While we admit you may find higher quality food at other German restaurants, the price here is almost too good to be true. At Einstein, you can enjoy hearty portions of meat, veggies and a cold Oettinger beer for less than RMB100, a hard price to beat in Guangzhou. With German decorations adorning the innards of the establishment, if you ignore the Chinese staff it wouldn’t be hard to imagine you are in Europe. The choice of music is also faithfully German, and although we preferred they pick something heavier, like Rammstein (if you haven’t heard of this band, Google them), such tunes would, admittedly, drive away non-headbanging clientele. If you enjoy stick-to-your-ribs-type cuisine, prompt service, cheesy German music and supporting small businesses, Einstein is a must visit.

Mill House Pizza
All but the accent by Jocelyn Richards
G
ood ol’ New York-style pizza. Our city has somehow carried on without it for so long, distracted by the latest Italian version of the pie or, worse yet, convenient posers like Pizza Hut. Heck, we even forgot what quality pizza should taste like – until now. Mill House Pizza isn’t exactly what you’d find in Little Italy, and the owners (thankfully) don’t pronounce their ‘O’s with that classic Long Island drawl. The founders, an Armenian family who have worked in Guangzhou’s import-export sector for years, aren’t even familiar with the restaurant industry. It all began when their son tried a slice of the Big Apple’s claim to fame in Hong Kong and fell in love with its signature handtossed thin crust, convincing his parents to open an eatery on the mainland. So far, so good, especially considering Mill House is in
the heart of Liwan District, far from traditional Western food streets. The shop rolls out homemade dough in a range of sizes, from small (12 inches) to the New York giant (24 inches) – the largest sold in Guangzhou. They even offer a classic 50/50 deal, where indecisive patrons can select two sets of toppings on one pie (price based on the more expensive side). Currently, pizzas come in a variety of flavors with set combinations of toppings, but we’re told customizable pies will be available in the near future. We sampled the cocktail pizza (RMB24168), a meat-free blend of green and red bell pepper, olives, mushrooms and a mix of imported cheeses. Bear in mind that NY style means no frills – there’s no sauteed spinach or caramelized onions here, and that’s how it should be. Expect a satiating bite of crisp
without any greasy residue, but don’t overestimate the size of your stomach. These are far from modest portions. Sold to go by the slice in proper NY fashion, Mill House welcomes one and all to dine in their tiny shop, which is aglow in yellow. Take-out boxes are stacked to the ceiling, a subtle but key detail to help transport guests from the daze of rowdy Chinese streets to the quiet boroughs of America’s finer state. As much as the flavors hit home, however, we weren’t as enthralled by the other menu selections, especially the salads (RMB33-35). For now, Mill House does two things right: pizza and dessert. Oh, and the innovative pizza fries. Try their fabulous eclairs (RMB15), ponchiks (RMB13) or unique Eastern European pastries (RMB9), all baked on site. Semisweet balls of cakelike filling with a hint of cinnamon and coconut, these unnamed wonders will take you to cloud nine and back again. And did we mention there’s delivery all the way to Ikea? It may nawt be New Yawrk’s, but this pizza sure beats anawther day of pawrk. Price: Approx. RMB60 Who’s going: Manhattanites with appetites Good for: HUGE takeaway slices, handtossed crispy crust // a151, 186 Dishifu lu, liwan District 荔湾区第十甫路186号 a151铺 (8890 1090)

El Cafetal
A Peruvian brew by Lena Gidwani
N
amed the world’s leading culinary destination by the World of Travel Awards for the second consecutive year, Peru has emerged as the gastronomic epicenter for creative, delicious and flavorful dishes. It is also the contemporary origin of another f-word: fusion. Marked by complexities dating back to the 16th century, Peruvian food is a blend of its Incan roots, mixed with Spanish, Arab, African, Chinese, Italian, Japanese and French influences, and the result is a distinct, tantalizing story on a plate. Only now has the acclaimed cuisine finally arrived in Guangzhou. El Cafetal is the city’s newest, and perhaps only, authentic Peruvian restaurant, located conveniently on Xingsheng Lu. With its outdoor area seating under a glass-stained canopy, it delivers an old-fashioned aesthetic, reiterated by dark leather chairs and an earth-toned bar. Boasting a complementary menu of pasta, burgers, Colombian staples like empanadas, Mexican dishes like burritos and quesadillas and other crowd pleasers, it aims to satisfy the masses, and although the food is pleasant, you can chuck that menu in a corner and turn to the uber-talented Chef Carlos and his bolder, more risque Peruvian specialties. The crown jewel of this place is the ceviche mixto (RMB85). Finger-sized pieces of raw white fish sit in a submerged maceration of leche de tigre, or tiger’s milk, a concoction of acidic lemon, aji limo peppers, sliced red
onions, salt and pepper, surrounded by corn, sweet potato and cilantro. This bold and addictive fare will make you forget about social or romantic obligations. If raw is your thing, try the tiradito nikkei (RMB75). A cousin to ceviche, tiradito has Japanese roots and, much like carpaccio, is thinly sliced. Stretched out delicately on a plate, a citrusy dressing is drizzled last minute that urges you to suck up every delicious drop. For mains, the pesado con arroz chaufa (RMB80) is a must. Chaufa is the ubiquitous stir-fried rice that is perhaps the most famous of chifa dishes. Chifa is a fusion of Peruvian Criolla and Cantonese food, as well as a play on the Chinese words chi fan (to eat rice). It all started when settlers from Guangdong landed in Peru in search of employment during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The problem? Many of the ingredients they were used to tossing in clay pots
and woks were not available in Peru, so they improvised, creating what is now recognized as an essential part of Peruvian cuisine. The emblematic lomo saltado (RMB150) is another chifa favorite and is excellently made; a choice cut of sliced beef, stir-fried with hot peppers and onions, with crispy french fries and a side of white rice. El Cafetal does more than enough to promote Peruvian food, and given its vibe, one can expect it to attract a diverse patronage, the kind of curious diners who could popularize this up-and-coming cuisine.

You’re going to go in past the strobe lights, through the diamond-shaped frame flanked by Greek god lookalikes, into a red carpet-lined lobby. You’re going to realize that it’s much like plowing through a TV box of absurdly beautiful, Queen bee-esque people and an off-the-hook music set in a single sitting – except here, you’re (potentially) going to be rubbing shoulders with gorgeous creatures and the camera is always going to be in your face to ensure that you, mere mortal, is on everyone’s WeChat moments the next day. And once you’re in, you’re in. You’ll love the glassencased outdoor patio, great for mingling and checking up on your blistered feet. But wait, there’s more, lonely one. This queen’s not done. You’ll walk in the main room and revel in the inspiration sought from the energy of fashion parties thrown all over the world. The stunning

design elements, such as flat screens showing – you guessed it – FTV, will bounce off all the reflective surfaces and plush VIP sofas. You’ll then want a drink. Here, the drinks are king, and as you set your eyes over the menu, you’ll automatically fixate on the extensive champagne list. Spotted. An iconic Moet & Chandon bottle (RMB880/one, RMB2,480/three, including cheese platter and six French oysters). And oh, a plate of smoked salmon with caviar (RMB88). Did we mention the beef tenderloin with red wine sauce (RMB138)? Right after, glass in hand, you’ll want to dance. And dance you shall, right next to the centerpiece, a colorful LED-lit, diamondshaped DJ booth on a hydraulic stage lift, so that those hot models and dancers can be brought down from the curtained wings of the mezzanine level to frolic during gigs. You’ll soon notice that every nook and cranny of this club features the distinctive
Fashion TV diamond insignia, and even the furniture is designed to resemble it. When you’re done people watching, you’ll want to take your euphoria to new heights on the second floor, where two private rooms promise the most sensational of late nights, or, if you’d like, the raunchiest. You’ll love the first room, smartly decked out like a yacht, with a personal Jacuzzi, KTV system and a private teppanyaki kitchen. The second, you’ll note, is less decadent; but with a pool table, private kitchen and open bath to soak those tired feet, you’ll experience a supreme contentedness that will come with binging on everything that Fashion TV Champagne Club has to offer. Napoleon once said that secrets travel faster in Paris. But here in Guangzhou, we do. So where are we going next? That’s one secret we’ll always share. XOXO. Review Girl. Price: Whatever you’re willing to blow Who’s going: Label-queens, creatives and selfie lovers Good for: Seeing and being seen, seven-daya-week themed nights

Vincent
Leave the gun, take the cannoli by Tristin Cheung
S
ince opening Vincent two years ago, founder Jimmy Jiang has been trying to bring authentic Italian tastes to the city. Producing most of the raw materials on his own – from dried orange slices dunked in cocktails to Mozzarella cheese drizzled over pizzas and even homemade sherry – all culinary creations are fashioned under the guidance of an Italian chef. Scented with fresh basil and doused in tomato sauce, pizza Vincent style (RMB99/14 inches) is the eatery’s claim to fame. Spread over a thin crust, this loaded pie is best shared with a group of four or more. To kick-start sluggish summer appetites, the tomatoes in balsamic vinegar (RMB48) serve as a scrumptious appetizer that tantalize with a lingering taste of sprightly vinegar. Baked risotto (RMB38), featuring half-cut tomatoes and potatoes filled with a mix of risotto and bologna sausages, is also deserving of praise. Featuring organic salads, homemade pasta as well as a fine selection of booze, the menu flaunts a Vincent special cocktail series, which showcases spiced mulled Staritsky (RMB50) – a sour glass of vodka, cinnamon sticks, star anise, cloves, brown sugar and orange slices. Go for a towering glass of ice-cold Stella (RMB45/500 milliliters) or Hoegaarden (RMB60/500 milliliters) to hit the spot after a long day at work. The crisp sensation of quality craft beer on tap helps take the edge off a greasy slice of pizza. If you’d rather call it a night without alcohol, opt for any of their refreshing, non-alcoholic cocktails (RMB50 on average). One of the few restaurants on Xingsheng Lu to offer delivery, Vincent is open 24/7, with over 30 employees to ensure their service is top notch. If you’re lucky enough to live in the area and have no mood for eating out, order in a steaming bowl of noodles or personal pizza. Those who decide to venture inside can enjoy a room decked out in wall-to-wall photos of Italian celebrities. And what’s better than gulping down a colossal helping of pizza while staring into the eyes of one of your favorite performers? (Al Pacino in our case.) Whatever your fancy, Vincent delivers – both literally and figuratively. It’s an offer you can’t refuse.

HAPPY MONK
French it up
Happy Monk is going French, introducing three new eloquent dishes with its latest menu. Confit is a traditional French technique of salting and spicing duck meat before slowly cooking it in fat until tender. Confit moulard duck leg, including beetroot relish, feta and rocket salad), uses ducks imported from France and raised in Beijing under open-air conditions. Satiating with a crisp, slightly salty sensation, this dish succeeds in filling one up without seeming too rich – even on a hot summer day. Melting succulently in the mouth when chewed, it is even more delicious when paired with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Speaking of irresistible summer delicacies, Happy Monk has expanded its menu to include the cheese puff sticks, which combine cheddar, Parmesan and mozzarella with basil pesto and garlic dip on the side. Savory and ideal to whet a stubborn appetite, these tasty morsels went well with an afternoon iced beer. For dessert, the mellow mango and passion fruit cheesecake is a good choice, featuring whipped Philadelphia cream cheese and passion fruit layered on a light mango sponge cake. The mix of the fruits gives it a subtle fragrance. In a world of pressurized happiness, Happy Monk’s new French menu attempts to bring you subtle joy. // 1) Back of Yi’an Plaza, Jianshe Wu Malu, Yuexiu District 越秀区建设五马路 宜安广场后门 (8376 5597); 2) Shop109, 7 Xingsheng Lu, Zhujiang Xincheng, tianhe District 天河区珠江新城兴盛路7号109铺 (3877 8679); 3) outdoor Plaza, Happy Valley Mall, 36 Machang Lu, tianhe District 天河区马场路36号太阳新天 地户外广场
