Editor's Note

estaurants are rolling out their Christmas menus. Hotels are lighting up their trees. Starbucks shops and malls across Shanghai are looping traditional holiday tunes. In one of my favorite Christmas songs of all time, John Lennon sang, “So this is Christmas, and what have you done? Another year over, and a new one has begun…” The end of the year is always a good time to take a moment and look back on the past 300 plus days – and that’s exactly what we’ve done in our final cover story of 2016 (p51), where you’ll find a recap of this year’s most memorable stories in technology, sports, arts, style and food. Continuing with the Christmas spirit, you’ll find our holiday gift guide in the Life & Style section (p24), highlights of Christmas meals around town in Eat & Drink (p73), and a feature on The Giving Tree, a charity program that provides school supplies and other essentials for

december

underprivileged children in rural China every Christmas (p66) in the Community section. Elsewhere in the magazine, Andrew Chin speaks to David Guetta on his upcoming show on New Year’s Eve (p39), as well as the producer of the popular interactive theater show, Sleep No More (p48). Lena Gidwani in Guangzhou catches up with Jimmy Choo (p30), while our own Food Editor Betty Richardson has prepared a list of the best hot pot restaurants in Shanghai (p71) to warm your belly this winter. That’s it for us this year; see you in 2017.

Put It Out

Citywide Indoor Smoking Ban Comes to Shanghai in March 2017 By William Lee and Lauren Hogan

he Municipal People’s Congress passed an amendment last month that will ban smoking in public places, effective starting March 2017. This will make Shanghai the second city to ban smoking in public places after Beijing implemented similar legislation in 2015 – the strictest smoking ban ever implemented in China thus far. This announcement follows the indoor smoking ban at both Shanghai airports. Starting next March, all indoor public areas such as offices and public transportation and certain outdoor areas like youth-designated spaces (i.e. playgrounds) and obstetric hospitals. The rationale behind the law is to protect the general public from the dangers of second-hand smoke. So how does this affect us all – for smokers and non-smokers? If you’re spotted smoking in the aforementioned areas, the public are ‘encouraged to report violations' by sending photos to the hotline 12345. Fines for violating the new laws range from RMB50-200 for individuals, and up to RMB30,000 for companies. According to the Chinese Association of Tobacco Control, the country has 316 million smokers and 740 million people who suffer from the negative effects of second-hand smoke. Experts are predicting that the smoking ban will expand nationwide by the end of 2016, which was something that the World Health Organization (WHO) urged China to do earlier this year. “We are delighted that with the adoption of this new law, Shanghai will be protecting non-smokers from the deadly harm of second hand smoke,” said Dr. Bernhard Schwartlander, China’s WHO representative. “We look forward to Shanghai’s continuous effort to fully implement and enforce the 100 percent indoor smoking ban without exceptions. This is a huge step forward for the health of Shanghai’s more than 20 million residents. Deaths caused by involuntary exposure to second-hand smoke are entirely preventable and from a public health perspective – simply unacceptable." According to WHO data, China is the largest producer and consumer of tobacco in the world. About 28 percent of adults in China – a whopping 315 million – are smokers. Every year, about one million people die of tobacco-related diseases, or roughly 3,000 per day. Do you think the new smoking ban will work? Scan the code to vote in our poll and leave your comments.

Shenshou Dang / shēnshǒu dǎng / 伸手党 n. someone who, instead of looking things up for themselves, insists on bothering others by asking them for information (and is never grateful when helped). What does ‘nomenclature’ mean?

Come on, it takes three seconds to look up in a dictionary. It’s kind of hard to explain.

You look it up and tell me.

You are such a shenshou dang.

here is a reason behind the popularity of the passive aggressive website lmgtfy.com, or ‘let me Google that for you.’ Because we all have that friend who constantly asks for perfectly Google-able information as if you are his or her robot slave. They ask you for movie screening times when they could easily look them up. They ask you for restaurant addresses when they have Dianping at their fingertips. They ask you for the opening hours at the post office, knowing that you’ll do exactly the same thing they would – look it up online. Literally meaning ‘those who have their hands extended,’ shenshou dang are those who ask for hand-outs instead of working for something themselves. And they often feign weaknesses to get their way. “Oh I don't know how to do it,” they say, “and you are so tech-savvy.” And, “Oh I'll only get it wrong,” they say, “and you'll definitely get the right information.” Shenshou dang also lie about having tried it themselves. “I looked all day and I just can't find it anywhere on the Internet,” is the mantra of a shenshou dang. When you give in and look some-

thing up for them, they are never thankful. “What took you so long,” they say, “Pingping sent it to me hours ago.” Or, "do you have a better version of this? The resolution is too low.” So are shenshou dang lazy or technically impaired? Are they so arrogant that they think your time is worth less than theirs? Or so manipulative that they get you to do their work for them? No matter the reason, you fall for it. You think: “I'm a helpful person and it doesn’t take long anyway.” You become an enabler. The most conservative estimates suggest that there are at least 12 enablers behind every shenshou dang; people who convince them that their strategy is sustainable. The highest level of shenshou dang not only refuse to use the Internet, but also their brains. They ask: “How can I learn to speak English?” Then, when you recommend some textbooks and give a few tips, they come back and tell you: “I've been reading those books for a while now but I still can’t speak.” And as you contain your anger over their accusatory tone, they say: “I think you must be wrong.” by Mia Li

A Portrait of China’s Left-Behind Children words by Dominique Wong images by Zhou Na

hou Na didn’t set out to document a family of so-called ‘left-behind children.’ It just sort of happened. In 2013 she was working for an NGO focusing on history and cultural preservation in Jiangxi’s Ji’an Suichuan County. The photographer would spend her free time shooting and, over the course of two months, got to know the Huang family. “It was a big family – two grandparents with four sons and five grandchildren. The grandparents lived at home with their grandchildren and two daughters-in-law, while their sons worked outside the village, returning twice a year to visit, in summer and spring,” Zhou tells us. The Huang family setup is representative of many households in China over the past generation. The country’s rapid economic development has seen millions of migrants move from rural villages to big cities in search of opportunities and a better life. Many parents choose to leave their children back home, for a variety of reasons. Some feel that urban living conditions are inappropriate for raising a child, while hukou restrictions mean that children are unable to attend school or receive medical care outside their hometowns. 1 4 | D e c e mb e r 2 0 1 6 | www . t h a t sm a g s . c o m

“The five children all differed in temperament. One was very naughty because, as I saw it, she wanted to draw people’s attention” The offshoot of this is a phenomenon known as liushou ertong, or ‘left-behind children.’ The All-China Women’s Federation and UNICEF found that in 2010 there were 61 million left-behind children below the age of 17 in rural areas. Without parents, children are often left to their own devices. More commonly, they are taken care of by their grandparents, such as in the Huang family. Zhou says, “One evening, the grandfather died of a massive cerebral hemorrhage. The sons came back for the burial, which was carried out according to local traditions.” Zhou attended the funeral as a friend of the family and – with the Huangs’ permis-

sion – took photos of the event as a memorial of sorts. The images reprinted on these pages, showing scenes before and after grandfather Huang’s death, offer a personal insight into the children’s lives. They show the children playing and laughing together like typical siblings. Small smiles between a grandfather and his grandkids; being and then not. The heartrending photos also hint at what life is like for the millions of other leftbehind children across China, who in recent years have been categorized as a social problem. Safety and mental health issues are cited as most problematic. Without protection left-behind children are more vulnerable to abuse and a lack of emotional or educational development. Reports of left-behind children committing suicide, dying by accidental means or becoming victims of sexual abuse highlight the dangers and consequences of being left behind. In June this year, four siblings living alone in rural part of Guizhou died from drinking pesticide. The oldest, a 13-year-old boy, had written a note saying, “It is time for me to go – death has been my dream for years.” But this is an extreme case. Of the

ph o t o e ss a y | c i t y

Huangs’ situation, Zhou observes: “The five children all differed [in temperament]. One was very naughty because, as I saw it, she wanted to draw people’s attention. Another was shy and sensitive.” “The children live in a beautiful natural environment and are growing up happily. But on the other hand, poverty and unequal opportunity limits the family’s horizons and possibilities, as well as the cohabitation and relationships experienced between family members.” For Zhou the topic hits close to home – she was a left-behind child herself. “I grew up with my grandparents,” Zhou shares. “I think that safety and love is more important than distance, although one cannot replace the other. In some ways I feel

like I lack something, which I am now making up for as I grow older.” Still, Zhou is dismissive of the term ‘left-behind,’ claiming the label “insinuates neglect and amplifies the tragic nature of this issue. It makes others resort to lazy thinking.” “In fact, every family’s story is different. For some children, even if their parents are not around, they are still able to feel love, connection and support.” Zhou Na is a documentary photographer and regular contributor to the Eyes on China Instagram project.

Back with My New Career By Yamiz Bachkhaz

f I just wanted a good education, I could have stayed back home in the US, but I want more than that. Coming to a completely foreign country like China, I’m eager to find out how well its economy is prospering while seizing the opportunity to make something of myself. Shanghai Jiao Tong University Antai College of Economics and Management offers a chance for me to grow more than just as a student, but also as a person and businessman, especially because of their generous encouragement and support for students’ startup plans. There are over 25 million people living in Shanghai, about 300,000 of whom are foreigners. Many of them are entrepreneurs with a grand vision who want to make the most of their time in China. With the same inspiration and motivation, I enrolled in Shanghai Jiao Tong University Antai International MBA, a two-year full-time English taught program, learning everything from strategic management, financial accounting, organizational behavior, business leadership to managerial economics. From this experience, I have learned extremely valuable business knowledge that I am able to use for any business ideas or job opportunities in the future. Besides academics, I was also involved in many different extracurricular activities like singing, modeling and martial arts, which allowed me to discover more about myself every day. During the summer break, I created my own teaching materials and methodology to teach children English. Despite its success, I learned that it wasn’t my true passion and moved on. I joined a group of exercisers – ‘calisthenics ninjas’ as we call

ourselves - at the campus by chance and met Jay D’engle, the founder of J-Fit training company. He encouraged me to become more health conscious through diet, exercise and other aspects of my life. My dedication and commitment eventually earned me a job in his company. We understand that health is not a ‘one size fits all’ thing, and our mission is to help our clients to discover themselves and become more self-reliant. We treat our clients as friends, and are proud of their progress, and now, J-Fit is now running its third charity event at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The number of participants has doubled, and we are expecting over 200 people to attend. We hope to continue the cooperation Get A Top MBA with the university and to continue in English in Shanghai expanding our influence. The deadline for 2nd round interview All of these amazing experiences application would be Feb.24, 2017 have allowed me to identify my perfect career path, which is very important to me. I have been able to apply what I have learned at Antai College of Economics and Management to my life and career in Shanghai, and I askmba@sjtu.edu.cn know they are also relevant in other 021-52302513 parts of the world as well. http://mba.sjtu.edu.cn/en/

Tera Feng

Fashion Buyer and Stylist Traveling around the world to attend different fashion shows has been part of Tera Feng’s life since 2013, when the Shanghai-based fashion buyer and stylist founded Kuan Concept Showroom, a jewelry concept showroom in Hong Kong. Always sharply dressed for every occasion, Feng tells us about her personal style and what items are hot and trendy this winter. When did you fall in love with fashion? When I was young, I used to practice Chinese calligraphy and traditional painting with my grandfather. It taught me how to appreciate the beauty of art, and these memories helped shape my style and fashion aesthetics. What types of jewelry do you select for your showroom?

I’m drawn to designers and labels that highlight age-old craftsmanship – especially contemporary, timeless pieces. Where can people find jewelry that you procure on behalf of Kuan Concept Showroom?

We’re collaborating with museums like Shanghai’s Power Station of Art, as well as lifestyle concept platforms such as ZUCZUG and iliangcang.com. In the future, we’d like to find more designers who specialize in traditional Chinese craftsmanship and turn their work into wearable accessories that can also double as modern art pieces. Who’s your favorite Chinese designer?

Uma Wang. I really like the artistic approach she takes with her design. It marries the subtlety and elegance of the East very well, not to mention her penchant for high quality Italian fabric.

“Good design, regardless if it’s new or old, should be able to withstand the test of time” How would you describe your personal style?

Name one item that everyone should have in the closet.

I like to mix and match. For example, I often like putting Eastern and Western elements or vintage and contemporary styles together. I mostly buy clothes and accessories at outlets and boutique stores and I don’t usually go for things that are from the newest collection this season – good design, regardless if it’s new or old, should be able to withstand the test of time. Jewelry pieces are also an important part of my look, and I think they’re a good indicator of one’s taste.

White sneakers. They’re super multifunctional; you can wear them in many casual occasions or even to parties or fashion shows. Is there anything that you will never wear?

Miniskirts; I don’t think there’s a way to wear them in an elegant way.

World Time Buddy

DOE F/W 2016 (Part 1.1)

The phrase “it’s five o’clock somewhere” sure comes in handy when you’re ready to pop a cork, but it can be a nuisance when trying to schedule a Skype date with a friend in Seattle (“My Sunday morning at 6am… no, 7am. Wait, wait, plus 15 hours would be my 8am!”). You know the drill. Enter World Time Buddy by Helloka: an app that lets you compare the real time in different cities across the world on a simple, userfriendly interface. Instead of just working as a world clock, however – as plenty of websites exist for that – Time Buddy functions as a time zone converter, meeting scheduler and more, making it an invaluable tool for the adventurous traveler or digital nomad. The app makes scheduling conference calls, webinars or interviews a breeze and keeps the savvy stock market player on their game. No more missing important appointments with real estate agents or calls with family back home. Available for both iOS and Android devices, World Time Buddy operates in English, German, Northern Sami and Spanish.

Streetwear brand DOE recently rolled out a line of apparel for the first collection of the F/W season. Continuing with the tradition of clean and simple design, highlights include crewneck sweaters and hoodies made with 100 percent cotton French terry fabric. Prints like ‘SH’ and ‘Avenue Joffre’ (the original name of Huaihai Lu in the 1930s and 40s) are featured prominently in different products to pay homage to the brand’s Shanghainese heritage. To reinforce their love for the city, the photo shoot for this collection took place along the Suzhou Creek with historical landmarks such as the Postal Museum as backdrop with Brash's head barber Lexzavier Black serving as the model. > www.doeshanghai.com

Overheard

“Hello Weibo – Yes it’s really me, I finally made it to China!” Writes Madonna (or someone in her publicity squad) on her first Weibo post in October. While there are no immediate plans for the queen of pop to host a concert on the Chinese mainland, Madonna’s Weibo debut coincided with the launch of MDNA Skin on Tmall just weeks after. Named after her 2012 album of the same name, Madonna’s skincare product line was developed in collaboration with Japanese beauty product developer MTG, and was first released in Tokyo in 2014. Products include a skin rejuvenator, an olive oil-based face wash, chrome induced clay mask and a special serum designed exclusively for Madonna to keep her skin glowing like a ‘Ray of Light.’ > www.mdnaskin-cn.com

Catherine Chan, Colliers’ Director of International Property Division of China, is delighted to witness the growth of overseas real estate investments in a young market like China over the past six years. She believes that it will become an important financial leverage for the young generation, considering the current economic environment. Here, Chan offers advice from a professional perspective. Are you a fan of overseas real estate property investments? I invested my own overseas real estate property in Shanghai when I was 27. It was a way to force myself to save money. Since then, I invested in the US, Canada, UK, Chengdu, Thailand and Morocco. So I’m a firm believer of what I preach. Just recently, my Chengdu property became what people refer to as xuequ fang (properties next to reputable schools), which became more valuable despite its age. Of course, you’re going to encounter waves and cycles. Our mission is to make sure that clients don’t ‘over-borrow,’ or applying for too much mortgages or loans. As long as you can overcome and weather the storms, property prices will always go up. Why is now a good timing for the Chinese to invest in overseas real estate properties?

There are many reasons for this. Comparing to other investments, owning physical properties is in Asian people’s blood. So the best way to keep the value of their money is to invest in properties. The government is tightening their measures on keeping money inside the country. The more they push on that, the more people would want to take money out. And it’s quite clear that the Chinese currency will decrease in value at some point. From a broader perspective, however, currency exchange rate in certain places will benefit foreign investors. For instance, the UK Pound is hitting its lowest point in 31 years, which in turn gives overseas buyers close to a 30 percent discount compared to previous years. What sorts of changes have taken place in the Chinese market in terms of overseas real estate property investments?

Huge changes. As the first overseas property agency entering this market, we know that it keeps growing because the number of competitors has grown substantially over the past six years. Interesting, we've also noticed that buyers are getting younger, and there are also more women investing, especially in Shanghai. They’re white-collar workers in general with a stable job and certain level of savings. In their minds, their husband will have an apartment when they get married, or they’re going to inherit their parents’ prop2 6 | d e c e m b e r 2 0 1 6 | w w w . thats m ags . c o m

erties at some point. Since they can’t afford to buy anything locally, they’d consider purchasing a property in London, which is another way to increase their savings. To agents like us, we now prefer dealing with female clients because they can make the final decision. What are advantages of overseas property investments and things that foreign investors should be aware of?

Firstly, I think you have to be careful which agency you go to. Smaller ones are often less reliable. A more prestigious agent can ensure that developers it represents are legitimate. In addition, you want to find an agency that will be there for you the whole time. For instance, Colliers is publicly enlisted in the US and Canada, which means we’re responsible for anything we market. So we have to work with developers that are very stable and strong to match our own brand. Berkeley has always been great in terms of its aftersales service, fit out and construction. As an agent, you always feel safe. The other suggestion I’d like to offer is to distance yourself from the property you invest in. Some of our buyers insist that the house should face south because it’s their preference, which might not be a necessary requirement in another market. Consider the property a product that you’ll sell at last and don’t get too attached to it. What are some popular investment choices at the moment?

Currently, London and Toronto are the most popular and best choices. The London market has always been catered to international buyers, making the whole process quite easy for foreign investors. We think Brexit wouldn’t affect London’s standing as one of the world’s most influential financial centers. Other markets, however, have introduced different measures to prevent foreign buyers, especially the Chinese. Tell us about Colliers’ latest project.

One of the projects is Royal Arsenal in the UK because they just launched a new phase of their waterfront property. It’s a seven-minute ride on the DLR line to the London City Airport. Since the new crossrail is expected to complete by 2018, this is the place-to-be for local residents. It’s easy to predict that the price will grow if you buy in advance. And the first down payment is 25 percent of the whole sum. Unlike in Shanghai, if you buy something now, the yields are very low. What is your vision for this department?

Though we don’t intend to expand on the number of offices, we’d like to have more people on our team. Yet it’s been challenging to hire employees with overseas experience, self-driven and with good qualifications. Since we’re selling a global product, these qualities are essential.

More than StiletTos

Jimmy Choo on Mentoring and Giving Back to China

By Lena Gidwani

t’s just 10am in one of Guangzhou’s poshest addresses, and already, Professor Jimmy Choo OBE is a picture of effortless sophistication. The fitted blazer is flawlessly cut and the dark shades sit as they should, as he readies himself. There’s a kind of approachability and a distinguishable humility that immediately stands out. It was in 1986 when he first set up shop in London. A decade later, his readyto-wear line was launched with the late Tom Yeardye, and loyal celebrity fans like the late Princess Diana, Madonna and Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex and the City propelled his rise to stardom. Several accolades followed, including an Order of the British Empire for his contribution to fashion in 2003. One may assume that Choo would be touring the world, cutting ribbons at stores that bear his eponym, but folks in the fashion industry know otherwise. “I sold my share of the business in 2001, five years after inception. It bears my name, but we are not related at all.” Choo’s most recent trip to China in October was all about giving back. An honorary fellow for footwear education at his alma mater and a spokesperson for the British Council in their promotion of British education to foreign students, he mentors young and aspiring shoe designers – many of whom hail from the Middle Kingdom. “More and more schools and universities have asked me to share my experi-

2 8 | d e c e m b e r 2 0 1 6 | w w w . thats m ags . c o m

ences, because I do everything from drawing to crafting. Not many can design, cut patterns and sew from scratch, it’s a lost skill these days with computers and machines. Now, we focus more on freehand drawing, we’re going back to basics,” says Choo. Choo collaborates with homegrown manufacturer ISCA Limited, whose brand Grand Master Lineage (GML) debuted at Attos Milano, China’s largest authorized dutyfree luxury concept store. With two branches, one at Bund 18 in Shanghai and the other at La Perle Mall in Guangzhou, they stock over 40 brands such as Gucci, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, Versace, Alexander McQueen and Stella McCartney, and have plans to expand further across the country. Paying homage to the great Chinese tradition of transmitting knowledge from a grand master to generations thereafter, Choo is excited about his relationship with GML.

“Everyone keeps asking me why I’m in China. I’ve been chosen to work with GML because they want to make quality shoes, just like they do in Italy. I’m Chinese, so I’m also coming back to my heritage, my motherland. A lot of young Chinese designers have gone overseas to study, and they’ve returned to work here. It is very important to me to give back to society. We’re creating jobs, giving back to the Chinese economy.” His ultimate goal is to be like Giorgio Armani, who continues to work despite his age. Even today, Choo still designs and sews new pieces, and has a very positive outlook for his future. "I love designing. I love creating. I love to travel, meet young people and give them advice and confidence. I’m just not done yet," he declares, with a soft laugh that permeates the morning air.

A Weekend Escape in Huangshan Hiking, Fresh Air, New Friends and Easy Adventures By Lauren Hogan

ith its jaw-dropping granite cliffs and above-the-clouds views, it’s no surprise that Huangshan (Yellow Mountain) in Anhui province has been an inspiration to many, including the creators of Avatar. With its naturally awe-inspiring landscape and proximity to Shanghai (only six hours by bus), it’s surprising that we’ve left this place for ‘future travels’ until the tediousness of trip planning is taken off our hands, and all we need do is pack our bags and go... In collaboration with travel group Ctrip, That’s Shanghai organized an adventure to Huangshan with 50 of our most well-traveled readers hailing from 17 different countries in November. After enjoying a family-style welcome dinner at the Crowne Plaza Huangshan Yucheng upon arrival, we retreated to our rooms to rest up for a big day on the hills. Arriving early to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, we took the cable car to the top of the mountain, where we spent hours hiking the area, taking in the views and enjoying

a freshly-made organic lunch. “The Yellow Mountain is one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited,” said Matt Davis who was traveling with a friend from the UK. “Having the local guides made all the difference and the their knowledge and hospitality was second to none, not to mention the team who traveled with us were extremely professional and easy to get on with.” After a full day on the mountain, the group returned to our comfortable quarters to rest our weary feet, but others continued the journey and went out to explore the old town for street eats and a taste of the local city life. On Sunday, before departing back to Shanghai, we were given the freedom to wander for a few hours through Hongcun, a traditional Huizhou village, and also the backdrop to the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Exploring Huangshan, Hongcun and the surrounding areas with flexibility not only made the trip enjoyable, but it also gave travelers the opportunity to see the sites with their own eyes – snapping photos of charming locals and incredible vistas, which they entered into our Huangshan trip photo competition.

Among the 19 entries submitted, Esther Hsu’s shot of Huangshan's beautiful landscape was selected as the winner, and her picture truly captured the essence of this epic weekend getaway. See more photos from the trip on www.thatsmags. com

Hygge

A Nordic Lifestyle Collective By Dominic Ngai

n Norwegian, the word hygge is an adjective to describe a cozy, simple and unpretentious lifestyle the celebrates the idea of ‘slow living.’ It’s also the name of a homeware store and event space in the former French Concession established by four Shanghai-based entrepreneurs with a shared passion for the Scandinavian way of living. It all started several years ago when Hygge cofounder Jeff Wang fell in love with his Norwegian partner and subsequently with the concept of Nordic lifestyle and design. In 2014, he and his friend Zhou Yi started NordiCorner, a WeChat account that specializes in promoting designers from the region. Together with lifestyle journalists Candice Wang and Zulu Qu, the Hygge team’s dream of creating a space to celebrate Northern European lifestyle, culture and design materialized in October. Products showcased in the 31-square-meter space were collected over the years from the founders’ travels to Northern Europe. In addition to

this, Jeff Wang’s connection with the Norwegian Consulate also gives Hygge access to a wide network of independent designers from the region. In general, Scandinavian designs tend to give off a cold and minimalistic vibe, but the Hygge team is on a mission to change that perception. In the space, they’ve curated a diverse selection of products that strike the right balance between more neutral tones and fun colors to showcase the versatility of Nordic aesthetics. Besides displaying products from their favorite designers, the team also plans to host small-scale cultural events promoting the lifestyle that they love in the future.

Style Butler A New and Softer Look By Dominic Ngai

ince opening its first shop in China on Anfu Lu in 2013, Danish womenswear boutique Style Butler has expanded to having four stores in Shanghai and Ningbo, and a fifth opened in Xi’an in late November. Their newest Nanchang Lu outlet, which sits on the ground floor of a refurbished lanehouse facing the main road, has an eye-catching long window façade, offering a glimpse of the fresh and bright interiors and distinguishing itself from its less colorful neighbors. Noticing that a majority of their clientele are locals who prefer something softer and more feminine, this newest shop is decked out in nude color walls, while the logo is now written in gold instead of the original black. Besides its own line of apparel designed by Style Butler’s creative director Pernille Leschly Halle, which is known for its use of high quality silk, fur and cashmere, the store also carries designs by several independent Danish labels such as shoes from Sofie Schnoor and jewelry pieces by Malene Juhl Jorgensen and Stine A. Some of the bestsellers this season are Style Butler’s sweaters made with 100 percent cashmere. All three Shanghai outlets are currently running a special offer through the month of December, where these winter essentials are going for RMB799 each (originally RMB1,999). 276 Nanchang Lu, by Ruijin Er Lu 南昌路276号, 近瑞金二路 (6473 2121, WeChat ID: stylebutler)

House of a Thousand Dreams Calling the Former French Concession Home Words by Dominic Ngai, Photos by Mario Grey

Yang lives here with her pets: a miniature pinscher named Dawg (seen on this photo), and her cat Freddie.

or Taylor Yang’s Shanghainese parents and grandparents, living in the former French Concession has been a longtime dream of theirs. “When my parents were young, this neighborhood used to be ‘the place.’ They call it shangzhijiao (上只角, a term in the Shanghainese dialect for posh areas with Western-style architecture and other cultural influences),” she says. Their dream eventually became hers as well. Yang has now lived in the former French Concession for the last 10 years,

and in her current flat – a small studio at the King Albert Apartments on Shaanxi Nan Lu – since 2012. Completed in 1930, the complex consists of 16 four-story-tall buildings with two apartments per floor, and three bedrooms within each. Yang’s flat is a subdivided unit that used to be the dining room of a larger apartment. With a penchant for vintage-style knickknacks, friends of Yang’s have always complimented her on the French romantic feel of her home. Here’s a look inside.

Though it’s just 30 square meters, the studio feels very spacious thanks to its high ceiling and a large row of airy French windows behind the bed, allowing plenty of natural light to flood the room during the day.

David Guetta EDM Superstar Rings in 2017 By Andrew Chin

Few DJs encapsulate the mainstreaming of electronic dance music like David Guetta. A veteran of the French underground, the producer has been catapulted into superstardom thanks to anthems like ‘Where Them Girls At’ and ‘When Loves Take Over.’ The two-time Grammy Award winner returns to Shanghai with his first China arena tour, ready to welcome in 2017 with help from fellow DJ Mag anointed Top 10 DJ, Oliver Heldens. You must’ve had a lot of offers for these end of year parties, why choose China? China is just an amazing country and they really know how to throw down a New Year’s Eve party. Chinese fireworks are colorful and I can’t wait to see it!

New Year’s Eve is a big party night. As a DJ, do you notice there’s a different energy? New Year’s Eve definitely feels magical compared to other nights. Everyone is so excited because of the time of the year. I performed in Dubai last year and that was a memorable night. I feel like China is going to be just as good! You’ve had numerous anthems. Can you tell something is going to be a huge hit after you make the beat?

You never know how the audience will react to a song; all I can do is test it at my shows. It’s great to see that a lot of my songs are still being played. I’m honored to be part of this evolution in electronic dance music. I didn’t expect this genre to become so big in just a couple of years.

Your last album, Listen, was quite a departure for you musically. Is that a path you want to pursue for your next album? I was really pleased with the result of Listen. All of the collaborations were simply great to produce. I’m currently working very hard to put out new music and I want it to be as diverse as my previous releases and to feel even better. I’ve been spending a lot of time in the studio lately, so keep your eyes open for more releases in the upcoming months!

Personally speaking, what music are you digging these days?

I’ve always liked hip hop and R&B. Besides that, I’m very interested in the evolution in electronic music right now. A lot of DJs are adopting more creative ways of producing and I think Martin Garrix is a pioneer in this.

The Success and Struggles of Mozart By Zoey Zha

As a musical prodigy who was composing and performing for European royalty at the age of five, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is one of the greatest legends in classical music, and his decision to leave the Salzburg court and follow his own muse has inspired artists for generations. That struggle is captured in the hit musical Mozart! which makes its mainland China debut with an extended run at Shanghai Culture Square from December 13 to January 15.

“

Mozart was undoubtedly an ingenious musician, but he was also in dire need of his father’s approval for his life achievements. That’s his motivation for everything that he does, and for the show as well

”

“T

he idea of reviving this show is to tell people that this is a story of every artist instead of just one,” says the show’s main star Oedo Kuipers. “I can definitely understand Mozart as an artist myself. There are sacrifices to make between the art you want to do and your personal life.” Spearheaded by writer Michael Kunz, composer Sylvester Levay and director Harry Kupfer – the trio that also created the iconic German musical Elisabeth – Mozart! follows the composer as a young adult free from the responsibilities of his family and society. While the show depicts the composer’s indulgence in gambling, carousing, loving and living, Mozart! also shows his inner struggles as a result of his past as a musical prodigy. The story unfolds in flashbacks, starting with Mozart’s wife Constance wandering around a cemetery trying to identify her husband. It then switches to a scene where a six-year-old Mozart is blindfolded and performing a piano recital next to his father. The child Amandé is a haunting figure, tailing his adult incarnation throughout the show, silently writing scores beside him, invisible to the other performers. A symbol of both the composer’s childhood and passion towards music, it will be this incarnation that finishes the show’s last scene where he completes Mozart’s final masterpiece, the famed Requiem. Born in a small town in the Netherlands, actor Oedo Kuipers relates to Mozart’s early passion for music. He began singing at school and church choirs before making his first stage performance in a Christmas play at age 8. He credits his father as the reason for joining a brass band, but sympathizes with Mozart’s turbulent relationship with his own composer father. “Mozart was undoubtedly an ingenious musician, but he was also in dire need of his father’s approval for his life achievements,” Kuipers notes. “That’s his motivation for everything that he does, and for the show as well.” This unhealthy relationship is best summed up in the show’s second scene, where his father disapproves of his son’s choices, and pledges to never see him again. The personal devastation continues as Mozart receives news of his mother and

sister’s death, as well as the departure of his wife. What followed in real life was an artistic flourishing that resulted in some of Mozart’s most well-known pieces. Also noteworthy is his wardrobe choices. To portray his rebellious spirit and his newfound artistic freedom, Kuipers is dressed in a modern coat with hole-poked jeans and ditches the wig commonly worn in that time period. Following its 1999 debut at the historic Theater an der Wien in Vienna, Mozart! enjoyed a successful two-year production run with approximately 420,000 attendees over 419 shows. The show has lived on thanks to translated versions that have toured across Europe, Japan and Korea. While he enjoyed success on a Dutch singing competition reality TV show, Kuipers admits that he took extra steps to ensure he would win the starring role when he was auditioning for this new production. “My voice is somewhat lower than a tenor, which means I couldn’t hit high notes easily like Bruno Mars or Michael Jackson,” he says. “I spent a big fortune on vocal training and worked with a pianist to prepare for this audition. It turned out to be worthwhile.” Kuipers gushes at receiving praise from the show’s composer Sylvester Levay for “channeling every artist in his performance.” He’s thrilled to be performing the show in China and is still very passionate about playing the role. He jokes, “Every time before I go on stage, I say to my dresser, ‘Time to die!’” Dec 13-Jan 15, 7.15pm (Tues-Sun) and 2pm (weekends), RMB80-1,080.

Long Shen Dao Tai Chi Reggae Masters By Andrew Chin

here’s quite a lot of similarities between reggae and traditional Chinese music in terms of mood and spirit. While they take different approaches, they both achieve the same results on the listener’s soul,” says singer Guo Zhen. While he admits that it can be difficult mixing native instruments like the guzheng with the established sounds of reggae, Guo shrugs about the challenges. “Music, like life, always needs to keep developing,” he says. “The new supersedes the old. So let’s just start and do it, then promote it.” That attitude led to the formation of Long Shen Dao in 2007. Comprised of veterans of Beijing’s rock scene, the six-member group realized there was not a single reggae band on the scene and rushed to fill the musical void. “We weren’t really digging what was popular and as we began performing, we gained more fans and friends interested in understanding reggae,” Guo says. “Over the years, we’ve received a lot of support from other musicians encouraging us to do something so few people in the country were doing.” With a name that can be translated as the Tao of Dragon God, the group instantly struck a chord. Their first show in Beijing eight years ago was sold out and critics were eager to dub them “China’s first authentic reggae band.” Their 2012 debut Tai Chi Reggae nabbed them numerous domestic music awards and touring opportunities abroad. While the band may instantly make an impression to international audiences with their

long dreadlocks, Long Shen Dao earned respect by delivering the musical goods. “We’re playing Africa’s largest reggae musical festival next year,” Guo exclaims. “It’s going to be great being in an environment with so many cultures, interacting with and appreciating each other.” The singer credits the touring experience for helping the band evolve on their sophomore album, Freedom. “From playing so many shows, we’ve tightened up our rhythm and have new understandings over arrangements and lyrics,” Guo says. Released this year on China’s largest independent label, Modern Sky, Freedom sees the group collaborating with Dutch DJ crew PartySquad and UK producer Vibronics. Guo also notes, “I wanted to delve deeper into my feelings,” while hoping the album “paves for even more growth on the next album.” While the band were among the headlining acts of this year’s Strawberry Music Festival, they’re eager to embark on this 21-city tour of China.

“Music like life always needs to keep developing. The new supersedes the old”

“When you tour in a foreign country, there’s a sense that everything is fresh,” Guo says. “We hope we have that same relaxed happy mood on this national tour. We look forward to bringing reggae fusion to the country and showing the world where all these different styles of dance fit perfectly.” Dec 18, 8.30-10pm, RMB100.

Hoochie Coochie Gentlemen The Beijing Blues By Andrew Chin

hina’s indie music scene may mainly be in the realm of the wenqing (artistic youth or hipsters) but a self-described dashu (uncle) band has struck a chord. With a sound rooted in classic blues, the decidedly old school Hoochie Coochie Gentlemen has won Chinese Golden Music Awards, infiltrated a hit CCTV show and are bringing their annual national tour to Yuyintang on December 16. “It’s very fun to go to different places, see friends and eat different things,” says the group’s frontman Chen Yafei. “Taking a break from our everyday life is always exciting.” With his raspy voice and Great Depression era uniform of suspenders and newsboy caper, Chen channels the spirit of a seasoned blues man who somehow has found himself in Beijing. “Like most of my peers, I grew up listening to music from Hong Kong and Taiwan. However, I was really hit hard with the rock bug when I discovered bands like Nirvana and Guns n’ Roses,” he explains. Spending much of his 20s in rock and punk bands, Chen credits his blues conversion to a Beatles compilation. “I heard some of their blues rock covers and went back to the store to buy a Buddy Guy record,” he says. “Immediately, I was fascinated. This was the first time I heard music that fit my ideas.” Taking their name from Willie Dixon’s blues standard, ‘Hoochie Coochie Man,’ Hoochie Coochie Gentlemen formed in 2009 mixing blues with jazz and folk elements. “As you get older there will be a lot of changes in the world,” Chen notes. “The way you express your opinions will naturally change. That will affect your music.” The group found instant critical acclaim. Their 2012 albums Sky Blue and Sadly Dying With You won Chinese Golden Music Awards for Best Blues and Jazz Musicians. Their hard-touring work ethic and budding acclaim brought the

group to the attention of CCTV’s hit reality competition show, Sing My Song – a show designed to spotlight songwriters in which Mongolian fusion innovators Hanggai took home the top prize. “As a band, we discussed it and thought it was a good way to promote ourselves,” Chen recalls. “It wasn’t that fun. We wanted to sing ‘Black and White’ but the program didn’t think it was suitable. In the end, we performed a song we spent about an hour on. But we met many friends during the process.” The title song of their 2015 album has managed to find a sizable audience. Sales for the disc have been strong for a Chinese independent band and Chen fondly recalls selling out of copies following an impromptu street performance on Chengdu’s famed Kuanzhai Alley. “We found that audiences really dug into the album and listened to all of the songs,” Chen smiles. “Most importantly, we are very fond of it.” With the band’s growing profile, Chen proudly notes: “There are more and more blues bands, which we are very happy to see.” However, they’re not content to rest on their laurels. Following their 13-city national tour, Chen says the group plans to “write more songs, then write some more.” While he teases that Hoochie Coochie Gentlemen’s next album is still in the songwriting phase and may not come out “for another 17 years,” Chen finally relents with some details. “We will likely add more brass because there are a lot of great musicians like China Philharmonic Orchestra trumpeters Lu Xiaolin and Zang Tianshuo, as well as saxophonist Hu Zhiliang who are interested in collaborating with us,” he says. “But as is our custom, we will play the new songs to see the audience’s reactions before deciding whether to add it to the album.”

“I went back to the store to buy a Buddy Guy record. Immediately, I was fascinated. This was the first time I heard music that fit my ideas”

In their Own Words Xu Zhen By Andrew Chin

As the youngest Chinese artist to participate in the main thematic exhibition of the Venice Biennale, Xu Zhen has been celebrated as the pride of Shanghai. He was the subject of Long Museum West Bund’s first anniversary and his MadeIn collective has recently opened in the West Bund with “the world’s first one-of-a-kind artwork store,” where limited Xu Zhen brand goods are available. Is Store a sly commentary on commercialism a la his faux Supermarket that popped up on Yuyuan Lu, or a different beast entirely? We let the prankster explain.

e are lucky to have grown up in this time of great change. As commercialism rises, population migration continues and classes are replaced, these forces are colliding and causing the city to change even though they elicit mixed feelings. How artists create contemporary art depends on whether they can put aside the cultural baggage and to be active and real in their thoughts and feelings. Today, ‘consumption’ has become a communication channel rather than just a simple business transaction. Compared to an art museum, Store turns consumers into cultural owners. Compared to galleries, Store can be more comprehensive in expanding the influence of the Xu Zhen brand, which is diverse and creatively prolific and very suitable to stores that are expanding rapidly to cover a number of platforms. Like Supermarket, Xu Zhen’s Store brings the social reality of contemporary culture into the performance. But Store is more of a platform for creating and displaying, whereas Supermarket is more like a work of art. Audience members were very enthusiastic at the opening and they had strong purchasing power. Sales were good from small- to large-scale works, including limited edition artwork, tea tables, sculpture sofas and clothes. Come quickly to Store! Until Feb 28.

The spirit of chinese brushwork The Collision of Traditional Chinese Art and Contemporary Media

he exploration of the relations between traditional and contemporary art is a popular and timeless theme among artists. While some believe that classic art forms have been entirely replaced by our high-tech and fast-pace lifestyle, a group of enthusiasts are trying to change that at The Spirit of Chinese Brushwork & Crafts art exhibition, where a few Chinese artists are showcasing the spirit of traditional Chinese art forms – namely calligraphy and painting – through contemporary media. After a successful run at the 2015 Milan Expo, the exhibition now returns to its home country, stopping at Shanghai Hongqiao Hub until January 15. In addition, a new installation called He will be added to its original grand scale. Using various forms of multimedia technology such as holographic projection, this presentation aims to present traditional Chinese cultural and the philosophical principle of “Harmony Between Heaven and Man,” and the Chinese creative spirit. Upon entering the exhibition, visitors are stimulated by a multisensory experience with images, sounds and more to showcase the creative vision behind the works of several major artists in the fields of traditional painting and calligraphy, as well as the intricate craftsmanship of renowned masters in China who work with ceramics, jade and wood – all of which celebrate a nationalistic sentiment. Featuring artworks of six renowned contemporary Chinese artists – including Wang Donglin, who is a renowned Chinese calligrapher and known for an anecdote of teaching Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple Inc., Chinese calligraphy – this exhibition celebrates their thoughts as an embodiment of the philosophical wisdom and a distinctly homegrown aesthetic that have existed for thousands of years, while the contemporary rendition is expected to re-ignite Shanghai audience’s enthusiasm for Chinese art.

Sleep No More

An Immersive Theatrical Experience By Andrew Chin STEPHEN DOBBIE AND LINDSAY NOLIN

In a year full of standout theatrical tributes to the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, few are as highly anticipated as Punchdrunk Theater’s take on Macbeth. Already reservations to Sleep No More have been filled until the Spring holiday despite its December 14 opening date.

ronically if the Bard represents the pinnacle of traditional theater, Sleep No More has won wide acclaim for its experiments with the form. Critics have dubbed it as a pioneer of immersive theater, and past productions of Sleep No More have enjoyed sold-out years-long runs in New York, London and Brookline, Massachusetts. “We’re making a non-traditional form of theater – taking the audience away from this passive interaction where they basically sit and have something presented to them,” explains the show’s producer Colin Nightingale. “Audiences are free to explore the space and the whole story is spread across six floors of the building. Within that, they’re actually being presented a fragmented narrative that they piece together by exploring. This means that every audience member ends up with a very unique experience that’s personal to them.” An abandoned building in Jing’an has been transformed into the show’s setting, the McKinnon Hotel, and the story was adapted to take place in 1930s Shanghai. “A lot of the storytelling is done within the design and details of the space. The audience can look through desks and read diaries or letters,” Nightingale explains. “We’ve created a total multisensory world. There’s a sound design running throughout the whole building and we’re playing with smells. The majority of the performers are dancers, so it’s a lot of physical storytelling as opposed to verbalized text.” Flexibility is a key element to Sleep No More’s world. There are four arrival times per show, and attendees are free to roam for three hours as there is no set interval for communal breaks. The functioning Mandalay Bar serves as an open space for audience members to take a break and discuss the show. A jazz band will perform, and Nightingale notes, “If we’re doing our job right, there should be something for everyone.” “Some people might want to spend two hours meticulously exploring the world or engaging with the performances, but others might rather sit within this rich environment that we’ve

“We’re making a non-traditional form of theater – taking the audience away from this passive interaction where they basically sit and have something presented to them” created, which is a totally acceptable way of experiencing the work as well.” Part of Sleep No More’s enduring appeal is that no two individuals experience the show exactly the same. “There’s about 18 hours of content scattered within this space, so it’s impossible for anyone to experience everything within one visit to this world,” Nightingale explains. “A lot of the storytelling then comes out of conversations between audience members after the show.” While its Shanghai run is currently scheduled until March 26, Nightingale is optimistic the show will be a staple of Shanghai as it is in New York City, where it has run for five years. “Everyone hopes that it has a long life here,” he says. “A show will stay open as long as people are buying tickets for it.” Dec 14-Mar 26, 7pm/7.15pm/7.30pm/7.45pm (Wed-Sat) and 3pm/3.15pm/3.30pm/3.45pm (Sat-Sun), RMB550 (RMB650 on Fri-Sat evenings).

The Quantum Satellite

Passenger Drone

We’re struggling to explain this in just a few sentences. So, let’s hand over to the Xinhua news agency: “The satellite is designed to establish ultra-secure quantum communications by transmitting uncrackable keys from space to the ground […] It could also conduct experiments on the bizarre features of quantum theories, such as entanglement.” Got it?

The world’s first passenger drone was unveiled by a Chinese firm this year. And while it may look like any old quadcopter, the Ehang 184 is an autonomous aerial vehicle. This means that passengers simply enter a destination and they’ll be whisked away by the drone. Let’s see how the testing sessions in Nevada go before getting too excited.

Smog-eating Tower

Pensioner Zhou Miaorong was worried about how he and his elderly neighbors would escape their apartment block in an emergency. So the spritely Shanghai septuagenarian, who lives on the 35th floor, built an emergency slide that can take residents to safety at the breakneck speed of 0.33 floors per second.

Another year, another unlikely device for battling smog. But could this be the one to go beyond headline-making? The 7-meter tower cleans 30,000 cubic meters of air an hour and is already being tested in Beijing. The tower’s Dutch designer Daan Roosegaarde hopes to collect the pollution particles and use them in jewelry. Good to see he’s got his priorities sorted.

She has since made several appearances on TV and served as a special guest at the Xiamen International Fashion Week. Here, she tells that’s how 2016 changed her life. On being a wanghong (internet sensation)… I was traveling when the photos went viral, and when I returned I was surprised to find out how popular they’d become. It was a bit nerve-wracking at first. But I’m happy to have received so much positive feedback from people saying how deeply moved they were by the photos, and how I’ve become an inspiration to them. My life is a lot busier now, as many media outlets want to talk to me. But I’m glad it hasn’t affected my daily life and family too much.

On what fashion means to her… I think fashion has a much broader meaning than just what you wear. It’s about maintaining a young state of mind. On Chinese designers… China’s rich culture and history make the country’s fashion unique. We see Western designers using more and more Chinese elements in their work now. We used to say foreign designers are better or whatnot, but I think Chinese designers are making their marks in the industry now too. On her fashion icon… Peng Liyuan [President Xi Jinping’s wife]. She’s elegant and has a heart for social welfare. That’s what a true fashion icon should be. On xiaoxianrou (boyish pop stars) and Korean pop culture… I don’t like xiaoxianrou because there's no substance to their performances. Korean pop culture is not to my liking either because of cultural differences; I prefer watching news and Chinese soap operas. 西 Jesse Photo: 小野杰

Matilda Ho

Supporting Food Sustainability and Building a Platform Edited by Alyssa Wieting

Matilda Ho is a serial entrepreneur and investor driven to create more sustainable food systems. She is the founder and managing director of Bits x Bites, China’s first food-centric accelerator and venture capital fund that invests in startups tackling global food system challenges. In addition, Ho has founded Yimishiji, one of China’s first online farmers markets to bring organic and local produce to families. Today, Yimishiji stands alone as a farm-to-table e-commerce platform that engineers food education and transparency into the entire supply chain and customer experience, effectively reshaping the relationship between Chinese consumers and farmers. Elevator pitch: tell us what you do in less than 50 words. Bits x Bites is an accelerator and venture capital that supports food tech startups in shaping our food future. To solve systematic problems from food security to waste, China’s startups can play an important role. Over our 120-day program, we give them the capital, community and coaching to thrive. Why did you choose Shanghai?

Shanghai is undeniably China’s trendsetting hub. Consumers here are generally more willing to pay for premium and new experiences. From an entrepreneurial perspective, Shanghai also has a more developed food scene but it does lag behind Beijing in terms of tech. Bits x Bites is creating an opportunity for the food and tech worlds to collide, and we’re happy that it’s happening here in Shanghai. What was your motivation and inspiration for starting your business?

There are more than 4,000 startups opening shop in China every day. If we can harness some of this entrepreneurial energy to solve food system challenges, the impact can be astonishing. With our experience building the online farmers' market Yimishiji, we hope to help more startups accelerate their growth and build a sustainable business. What are the biggest challenges in setting up a business here?

We have seen first-hand how quickly competition can appear. Competitors also work extremely hard to beat you at your game. Recruiting great talent and building the right teams are also two challenges for many businesses. These are all support areas that startups need as they build a new business. What is the greatest lesson you have learned doing business in China?

Stay nimble. There is no safe competitive advantage, especially in the Internet world. The shift from Weibo to WeChat is a great example. Businesses that are quick to identify environmental changes and are flexible to adapt are best positioned to lead. That is why we have built our mentor network with many founders who can share a lot of onthe-ground stories, including successes and failures. And the greatest mistake?

We have made mistakes; but also grown from them. One of them is probably having a mismatched senior executive. Hiring the wrong people is a fast track to learn how to hire the right ones.

“There are more than 4,000 startups opening shop in China every day. If we can harness some of this entrepreneurial energy to solve food system challenges, the impact can be astonishing” Who is your personal business idol? Charles Hayes, IDEO Partner and Executive Managing Director for Asia. Besides his intelligence, I am constantly amazed by his ability to inspire a very open and creative culture throughout an organization. I am also impressed by how at ease he is with any connection, whether it’s in the World Economic Forum or at a dive bar with coworkers. What trends are shaping the way business is done here?

The evolving upper and middle class consumers means companies in China need to excel in more than just speed and distribution but also creating quality products and meaningful content. I also see an increasing awareness of social responsibility. People value brands that actively address their environmental impact. Where do you see your companies in five years?

With Yimishiji, we see a growing ecosystem of local and pesticide-free food, with consumers demanding these products at one end and honest farmers practicing responsible farming on the supply side. With Bits x Bites, we see a thriving and supportive community of food tech startups that are bringing creative solutions to solve a variety of food system challenges. And we hope that their success stories will inspire a wave of socially conscious entrepreneurs that combine purpose and profit to bring a positive impact to the world.

The Giving Tree

Making a Difference This Holiday Season By Alyssa Wieting

t’s that time of year again – twinkling lights are put on display, Christmas music is playing in Starbucks and kids look forward to sitting on Santa’s lap. While the Western world is celebrating in full force, we’re only exposed to a sliver of the holiday season in China. It’s easy to get caught up in planning your trip back for the holiday or which toys to buy for your kids. In this bubble that we live in, it can be difficult to remember that many will not be able to celebrate the holidays the same way, and the Community Center has made it their mission every Christmas to give back to one of the most vulnerable populations in Shanghai – the migrant community. The Giving Tree is a program whereby donors stuff bags of winter and school essentials for students in migrant communities and schools, and distribute them at the beginning of the holiday season. Each bag contains a coat, school supplies, toy, educational book in Chinese and a reusable water bottle. When the program started in 2003, The Giving Tree delivered 32 bags; this year they will be delivering 10,000. Toni Friedman, the charity specialist at the Community Center, explains, “The aim is not only to provide students with items like warm clothing and school supplies, but also to instill in each student the importance of giving. We hope that these kids will grow up remembering the feeling of having someone care about them, and will someday give back to others in need.” Donors from all over the city have contributed to the project over the years, including international schools, community organizations and even large corporations such as eBay and Gap. The empty bags are sent directly to donors and each group gets the opportunity to hand deliver their stuffed bags to their designated migrant school – getting

to see firsthand who they have helped. Although this gift may not change the lives of these children drastically, it’s an act of kindness that can bring some cheer and hope to them. While many of the bag distributions will already have taken place by the time this article is published, it is not too early to sign up for next year’s distribution or to make a donation to the other projects through the Community Center. There are many opportunities to give back to the community throughout Shanghai, so please take a moment this holiday season and think about what you can do for someone else.

“It is our hope that these kids will grow up remembering the feeling of having someone care about them, and will someday give back to others in need”

Beat Winter Boredom

Embracing Your Adventurous Self By Timothy A. Kelly, Ph.D.

o here we are, all 300,000 or so of us expats living and working in Shanghai, heading into the winter season. Summer break is over, fall was here for about three days, and then it’s going to be cold and gray until spring shows up for its brief visit next year. What to do? I say let’s make this an exceptional year by getting in touch with our inner pioneer selves. After all, if this were the mid-1800s in the United States, most of us would be heading out west in search of adventurous opportunities, and gold! We could stay back on the east coast where life would be safe and predictable, but we choose instead to head for the Wild Wild West in our lumbering Conestogas, risks be damned. Well, today pioneers are called expats – brave people who leave home, job, family and friends in search of a new life in the ‘Wild Wild East.’ That said, the one thing most of us find to be deeply troubling is boredom. We’re just not meant to do the same thing week after week, month after month, year after year. So this year, instead of falling into a predictable (and boring) routine, why not double down with the old expat spirit and seek out creative adventures? This could mean anything from letting your teens plan and make their dream dinner followed by a movie of their choice, joining family and friends for a bike ride or hike in a pastoral water town district, to motorcycling

(or driving) through Chongming Island with a band of brothers (or sisters), or…well, you name it! Our goal is to plan at least one new adventure per month throughout the winter doldrums. Create a journal to facilitate communal pioneerism by collecting the best and most outrageous ideas (but safe, of course) and sharing them as the year goes on. At the end of the year, before the expat summer exodus, prizes could be awarded to the top three adventurers! I do have one caveat, however, and I realize that I may lose a few readers on this point. Shanghai has, as we all know, a strong drinking culture. Many adults and teens, both expats and locals, seem to think that the only way to have a good time is to get drunk. This leads to a great deal of heartache when the inevitable ‘out of my control’ phase kicks in, plus it sends a terrible message to our teens. So why not try to find ways to have great creative fun and adventure without involving anything more than a drink or two? My wife and I are already working on our first adventure – she wants a five-star hotel somewhere far away from city life, with plenty of walking trails. I prefer renting a Harley and motoring through the winding roads of Moganshan. We’ll see who wins…

“This year, instead of falling into a predictable (and boring) routine, why not double down with that old expat spirit and seek out creative adventures?”

Virgilio Martinez A Natural Approach By Betty Richardson

Your philosophy at Central revolves around the natural produce of Peru rather than the pursuit of French culinary techniques. Do you think this way of cooking is applicable to other chefs in their own home countries? Yes, the philosophy can be applied to any cuisine in the world – even ones that are lesser known. It’s about having respect for one’s own terroir, territory, cultures and traditions. There are no rules anymore, no one ‘best’ cuisine. Our approach is unique, but is meant to inspire others to think in similar ways.

Are there other ways you wish to influence young chefs or fine dining in general? My message to young chefs is: your actions have to match your words. Be authentic. Stay committed to one idea and see it through. You’re well acquainted with the Peruvian landscape. Have you become an environmentalist in the light of threats that endanger your ingredients?

Absolutely. It's become more important than being in my restaurant. Even though I’m a cook, the preservation of natural ecosystems is just as much of a priority. What were the biggest challenges you faced while introducing your cooking philosophies at Central to the food world at large?

In the beginning, it was difficult to make people in Peru believe in what we were doing;

At just 39, Chef Virgilio Martinez of Peruvian restaurant Central – No.4 on the 2016 World’s 50 Best Restaurants list – is known for his groundbreaking approach to fine dining, cooking exclusively from the 84 natural ecosystems of Peru instead of French techniques. We caught up with him on the China leg of his tour for Central, a book that encapsulates his journey to success.

“There are no rules anymore, no one ‘best’ cuisine” very traditional people were not supportive early on. But when you are excited, committed and work hard, good things will happen. Today, we are working with our people. Not many people come to Peru because it’s so far south in the world. It’s a challenge, not just to spread the word about the experience at Central, but also the whole message. Peru is a country that’s been touched by foreign influences over time, particularly by Chinese immigrants. What did they bring to the food culture there?

People came with ingredients and products and were welcomed; we have Chinese immigrants to thank for chifas (eateries run by Chinese immigrants in Lima). These immigrants are very Peruvian nowadays. It's a good example of tolerance — how a country can live with all their differences and connect people via food.

from day to day because of the consistency of the products. We’re working with nature; that’s the main message.

What does the future hold for you? Do you plan on staying in Peru or will you explore other parts of the world? I dedicate a lot of my time to Central (we are relocating to a new spot) and to researching new native ingredients. It’s more like working with our ecosystems. If I’m talking about our whole philosophy, it just can’t be opening restaurants all over the world. Finally, what’s the secret to a good ceviche?

The freshest and best ingredients — that’s it.

> Central is available to purchase at www.phaidon. com (centralrestaurante.com.pe)

In Central, some recipes call for ingredients not easily accessible to home cooks. For readers looking to take away broad inspiration, what can they learn from your book? When I’m talking about products, it’s difficult. Even in the restaurant, the recipes change

grape vine gossip We got a rare pleasant surprise earlier in the month, when it was revealed that culinary power couple Sean Jorgensen and Anna Bautista were to take the reigns of newly opened lounge Highline. This venture will mark Bautista and Jorgensen’s first permanent kitchen gig since their respective posts at Coquille and Liquid Laundry. We can’t wait to see what they roll out. Further surprises were in store with the unveiling of Shanghai’s first hot sauce tasting bar. Cheekily named ‘The Hot Box,’ the bar sells a fiery range of imported, local and housemade hot sauces. Be warned, some of them are akin to drinking pepper spray – only the brave need apply! Xintiandi also revealed a new resident this month: Cobra Lily. The latest brainchild from the Liquid Laundry gang, the barcum-lounge serves craft beer and an Asian menu designed by Kelley Lee herself and Liquid Laundry chef Simon Sunwoo.

Over at the glitzy Pullman Hotel, a glamorous new bar and restaurant has been installed on the 50th floor. FED, short for ‘Flowers, Eats, Drinks’ offers a decidedly floral ambience alongside a Western menu and craft cocktails. Stay tuned for our review next month. In other news, Yang Jing Bang maestro Nat Alexander is turning his attention from Chinese food to pizza, with a new concept called ‘Homeslice’ in Found 158. Serving pizza by the slice on artisanal sourdough bases, the casual eatery will also ply punters with simple cocktails.

Also coming soon to Shanghai is Dodu, a French-owned gourmet rotisserie chicken bistro, to be installed at 81 Changshu Lu. Management tells us they won’t be serving any old broilers, either; they’ll be roasting fancy French ‘Label Rouge’ hens, bred on a free-range farm in Taiwan.

Pu Ben by Jereme Leung WIN! RMB500 Dinner for Two at Pu Ben Modern Chinese food is having a bit of a moment in Shanghai’s dining circle, and it’s about time we say. At the forefront of this movement is Jereme Leung, a chef who’s spent the last 30 years traveling around China collecting recipes for his restaurant Pu Ben (璞本). Here, classic Cantonese flavors are updated with modern cooking techniques and interspersed with flavors that play on the unexpected. Some of the standout dishes include sous-vide cooked beef short ribs with a tangy marmalade glaze, and rose apple with pork, which tingles the senses with spicy, sweet and sour flavors. Fancy a meal at Pu Ben for free? We’ve got a voucher worth RMB500 to give away to one lucky reader.

The Cathay Room

Old School Glamor and Hearty Portions

As far as dining rooms go, The Cathay Room in the Fairmont Peace Hotel is about as dreamy as they come. With its white linen, natural light, and Art Deco accents, this is undeniably one of our favorite special occasion places to soak up old school Bund glamor. The new winter menu by American chef Jeremy Harris, is full of big, bold flavors that offer a heartier side to fine dining, like the 250-day aged Canadian center cut beef tenderloin with red wine sauce, or pan-roasted cod with butternut squash, lemon butter emulsion and fennel espuma. And did we mention the chilled seafood salad with marinated baby octopus, Kaluga caviar, Boston lobster, Alaskan king crab and Dalian scallops? Seriously, this new menu is a home run.

Healthy Hot Pot Restaurants Four Places to Indulge in the Wintertime Dinner Favorite By Betty Richardson

The perfect dinner for cold weather, hot pot is a tradition in just about every corner of China, each with its own unique flavor. Here’s our pick of some of the healthiest options from around Shanghai.

Holy Cow Chaoshan-style Beef Hotpot Holy Cow boasts superior quality, neverfrozen beef, and a pure beef bone soup base that you can drink by the bowlful. Beef aside, fresh vegetables here are a highlight; think plentiful greens, mushrooms and root vegetables. The Xiaomuqiao Lu branch even has soup dumplings you can cook right in the broth. Perks: never frozen beef, good choice of vegetables, drinkable beef broth Price: RMB100-200 per person

> 2/F, 608 Xiaomuqiao Lu, by Zhongshan Nan Er Lu, 小木桥路608号1楼，近中山南二路. Nearest Metro: Damuqiao. Open daily 5.30pm-1am, local credit cards accepted (3356 6100)

A seafood spread at Qimin

Elixir Health Pot

Coconutalk

Qimin Organic Hotpot

Taiwan-style, Specialty Tofu and Broth

Hainan-style Coconut Hotpot

Healthy, Organic, Upmarket

There's one thing you'll notice immediately about this place that sets it apart from many other hot pots: the soup. More like a creamy tonkotsu ramen than the commonplace angry red variety, the super nutritious base is made from boiling animal bones for hours, and is packed with collagen, which is supposedly excellent for your skin. As to whether that's true remains to be seen, but at least with this place you won't get shitty hot pot hangover the next day. For those who can't give up the spice, Elixir lets you do side-by-side spicy and mild broths. Perks: high quality meats and soup base, supposedly good for health Price: RMB200-250 per person

Delicate, fragrant tropical flavors are the hallmark of awkwardly-named Coconutalk, a Hainan-style joint on Huaihai Lu. Down in the island province off the southern coast of China, coconut trees are pretty much everywhere. Coconut water goes into the hotpot broth, plump chickens are fed on coconut flesh, even rice is cooked inside hollowed out coconuts. You'll find all of those things here at Coconutalk, making it one of the milder flavored hot pots Shanghai has to offer. Zhoosh it up with zesty calamansi juice, soy sauce and garlic dip. Perks: mild, non-spicy; good quality chicken Price: RMB200-250 per person

Designed to look like a bustling market inside, this Taiwan import from Green&Safe focuses on impeccably sourced organic ingredients, many of which come from their own farm. Add meat, seafood and mushrooms to the broth, which comes in milder flavors like chicken, ginseng or richer varietals. Every night at 8pm, they hold a 'lottery' that sees free dishes given to participating customers. Perks: high quality ingredients, smarter atmosphere Price: RMB200-300 per person

'Tis the Season for Indulgent Wining and Dining By Betty Richardson

If there’s ever a time for restraint and caloric responsibility, well, Christmas just isn’t it. And if you’re lucky (or unlucky, depending on your mindset) to be spending the holiday in Shanghai, there’s never been a better excuse to cut loose and indulge in a little holiday comfort food. We’ve scoured high and low to put together this list of luxurious dinners and other yuletide treats that can’t be beat. Fairmont Peace Hotel

A staple that’s been around almost as long as Christmas itself, fruitcake is made from dried fruits, candied orange peel and assorted spices. The Peninsula’s takes this classic up a notch, soaking the dried fruits in Cognac for a whole year.

Christmas Pudding from The British Kitchen Another classic British dessert, Christmas pudding is similar to fruitcake in flavor, the difference being that pudding is steamed rather than baked, and has a decadently gooey texture. Once cooked, it’s traditional to douse the pudding in brandy and set it on fire, allowing the alcohol to burn off before serving. See also their treacle-laced gingerbread slices, for a less boozy Christmas sweet.

Apple Pie from Christal’s Treats

Pumpkin Pie from Al’s Baking Co. At RMB28 a slice, this dense and creamy pie might be one of the best value ways to partake in a little bit of yuletide cheer. The thick, lightly spiced filling is wonderfully countered by crunchy pastry, though the pie really comes alive when accompanied by scoop of vanilla bean, miso caramel, or halfbaked cookie dough ice cream on top. > Available until early January, RMB28/128 slice/ whole pie. 174 Xiangyang Nan Lu, by Fuxing Zhong Lu 襄阳南路174号，近复兴中路.

Daimon Bistro

Alvin Leung Unleashes the Beast By Betty Richardson

The Place Say what you want about his ornate personal brand, which often teeters dangerously close to eclipsing his food, 'Demon Chef' Alvin Leung deserves credit for two things. Firstly, for giving Chinese food the fine dining treatment at Bo Shanghai. Secondly, for daring to elevate Cantonese dim sum, without doing away with the time-honored techniques. That's exactly what happens at Daimon Bistro, Leung's other new eatery at Bund 5.

The Food

It's a brave man who tinkers with dim sum recipes. More often than not, rejigged versions of classics can just end up making you wistful for the original. However, some at Daimon Bistro are more than capable of holding their own. We're talking about the chili crab xiaolongbao (RMB38). Properly made with thin skin and delicate topknot, the inside flows with spicy crab and pork abundance. But it's not all a bed of roses. Blood red xiaolongbao filled with lamb and Sichuan pepper soup (RMB38) cut more of a Gothic appearance than we'd anticipated while the lamb flavor overwhelmed everything. Though the crunchy exterior of the BBQ pork buns (RMB32) were a delight to bite through, the overly sweet filling was a bit much for us.

Our absolute favorite main is the sweet and sour ribs (RMB188). They arrive in a Jenga-like stack, each covered with a sticky, almost crunchy outside that gives way to superbly luscious and tender pork meat, countered by a fresh, gingery slaw. After rib one, you're in heaven; two, and you're starting to reflect on your life choices; after three, you'll feel like you need to do a walk of shame out of this crazy restaurant. Also catching some love is the chicken and waffles (RMB138), served with dried chilies, crunchy Hong Kong-style egg waffles and a sweet, gingery caramel drizzled over the whole thing. The waffles aren't as doughy as their American counterparts, which works since the chicken is fatty enough to make Honey Boo Boo's mother blush. Assuming your usual dietary restriction is a distant memory by this point, you should also order the 'cherry roast duck' (RMB158) with pancakes, scallion, cucumber and beetroot(!) slivers. It's a pretty generous portion for the price; you'd be looking at RMB268 for a similar creature at Michelin-starred Da Dong. If you have any room left for desserts, order the corn bread waffle with brown butter ice cream and 'drunken' strawberries (RMB68), followed by a nap. 2/3

is absolutely worth a visit. We reckon they could trim down the long menu to include just the all-stars. Most dishes and cocktails are fairly priced, and there's no service charge that seems to be the standard with many Bund restaurants, meaning you too can unleash your inner food beast. 1/1

TOTAL VERDICT: 3.5/5

Price: RMB250-300 per person (excl. alcohol) Who's going: trendy young locals Good for: small groups, dates, modern Cantonese food

6/F, Bund 5, 20 Guangdong Lu, by Zhongshan Dong Yi Lu广东路20号6/F, 近中山东一路. Nearest metro: Yuyuan, 12 mins. Open daily, MonThurs, 6pm-12am; Fri-Sun, 6pm-2am. (5383 2031)

The Vibe

Despite a swanky Bund address, lots of effort went into giving Daimon Bistro an edgy persona. Think in-your-face graffiti murals by HK-based artist Catherine Grossrieder, waitresses in leather jackets and black eyeliner (gasp!), and VERY LOUD music. 0.5/1

Banyan Tree A Shaded Corner in Hong Kong Plaza

By Tongfei Zhang

The Place Eateries owned by local celebrities aren’t rare in town. From famed writer and racecar driver Han Han’s Nice Meeting You to Zhao Xiao Jie and her writer husband’s Zhao Xiao Jie Bu Deng Wei, now we see another restaurant joining the club - Banyan Tree (no relation to the hotel), in Hong Kong Plaza. Co-owned by Will Zhu, founder of China’s most influential literature website - Rong Shu Xia (榕树下) and Lamont Fu, one of China’s top 50 chefs and former Chinese dining consultant in the Hyatt Hotels Corporation, the restaurant’s name is a literal translation of Rong Shu. Located in the aging Hong Kong Plaza, the restaurant comes across as a lighthearted fine dining spot with a curious twist of literature.

The Food

Beijing roasted duck (RMB228) is a good start if you’re with a group, the sizzling duck is sliced in front of you, but our recommendation goes to fried crab with mashed garlic (RMB128). Pieces of whole crab are stir-fried along with garlic chips, ginger and potent red chilies. Scented spiciness seeps into the tender meat, and the result is so hot and luscious that we couldn’t stop having more. Signature braised pork belly served with chestnut cake (RMB88) is one of Chef Lamont Fu’s specialties. The marbled meat pyramid is made of a long and thin slice of pork belly, which reportedly takes two hours to steam. Unlike the heavy Shanghai-style hongshaorou, it’s surprisingly light and soft. Marinated bamboo shoots hidden are underneath, designed to be stuffed, along with the pork, into steamed chestnut cakes. Mapo beef tendon and tofu (RMB39) sees beef tendon perfectly stewed to the softness of tofu, mild, spicy but never greasy - it could easily kill off a bowl of rice. A lighter and meat-free interlude option is the potherb buns (RMB38), where chopped cruciferous vegetables are creatively wrapped inside thin bean curd skin. Cream custard buns (RMB24) were a disappointment, however, the flowing egg yolk custard was remiss with a sad-looking congealed mixture. Maybe next time we’ll give foie gras shaomai (RMB36) or popping candy tiramisu (RMB32) a shot. 2/3

The Vibe Banyan Tree has all the characteristics of a contemporary Chinese restaurant – open kitchen, swing seats, photo walls, and customized tableware. Service is very attentive, with a bottle of flower tea served upon arrival. Expect the place to get busy during dinnertime. 1/1

Value for Money

A prime location on Huaihai Lu and steps away from Xintiandi sounds expensive, we know, but the bill turned out to be opposite - about RMB110 per person. It’s an ideal restaurant if you’re rolling deep with a group or looking for contemporary Chinese food. 1/1

Total Verdict: 4/5

Price: RMB110-150 per person Who’s going: locals, family in groups Good for: modern Chinese food, groups, business lunch/dinner to impress

Ramen David Japanese Export Makes a Splash in Jing’an By Betty Richardson

The Place The latest Japanese export to plant a foot in Shanghai, Ramen David is one of the most promising new noodle shops we've found, tucked just behind Nanjing Xi Lu on Fengxian Lu. But just who is the eponymous David, some brave gaijin who decided to tackle ramen making? Nay, it is David Ito (デビット伊東), a Japanese 80s-era pop star and actor who turned to ramen after an injury cut short his career in the entertainment industry.

The Food

Like the Japanese original, Ramen David offers three different flavors, one Hakata-style tonkotsu (pork bone), one chicken soup shoyu (soy sauce), and one shio (sea salt) chicken broth. All three of them are delicious, but the excellent tonkotsu comes out on top. With a rich and flavorful broth at its heart, Ramen David's tonkotsu is among the best RMB48 bowls of noodles in Shanghai. This is the dish that'll restore your faith in the world when it all looks too bleak, when the winter's cold, the streets are grey and Donald Trump sits smugly in the White House. If that wasn't sufficient for soothing your soul, the savory shoyu ramen (soy-based chicken broth, RMB42) is a character all of its own, laced with marinated bamboo shoots, lean pork shoulder and thick yellow noodles. It's worth asking for these al dente (ying, 硬) to take advantage of their full bite. For saltier palates, the shio ramen (RMB42) is a mellower alternative to the shoyu. However, the latter two don’t come with a runny centered soft-boiled egg – so good that it's worth adding to your order for RMB8. As for sides, chashu fried rice (RMB38) is the standout dish Ramen David has to offer. Studded with chunks of thinly sliced pork belly roulade that tops the tonkotsu ramen, fried egg, scallions and cabbage, this dish is

8 0 | D e c e mb e r 2 0 1 6 | www . t h at s ma g s . c o m

almost enough to distract you from the ramen itself. Don't be tempted by the golden lightly fried beefsteak (RMB48). Despite being awesome, delicious and rare on our first visit, by meals two and three the tender steak was replaced by a chewy, sinewy cut instead. 2/3

The Vibe

Like ramen shops in Japan, anticipate sitting at a bar if you're a solo diner. In Ramen David's case, it means itty-bitty stools nailed to the floor, however, parties of four get the potential luxury of a booth. Sharing this space is a crowd of young locals and troupes of Japanese businessmen downing pints of whisky highball, always a good sign if you're looking for a signifier of authenticity. 1/1

Value for Money Cheap, simple, and good quality, Ramen David is a rare example of a new restaurant that exceeds expectations in terms of value. The regular portion was enough for us, especially with sides and beer, but larger appetites can also take advantage of a free 'kae-dama' (noodle refill) – just be sure to leave some soup in your bowl to accommodate them. 1/1

TOTAL VERDICT: 4/5

Price: from RMB42 per person Who's going: young locals and Japanese expats Good for: ramen, cheap eats, solo diners, dates, Japanese food

Sunday Fun Day Champagne Brunch With a VUE

here are few better things than waking up on Sunday morning and looking forward to a free-flow Champagne brunch on the Bund. VUE at Hyatt on the Bund offers a truly enticing weekend treat that ticks every box of luxury for RMB688 per person. Start with your first glass of free-flow Perrier Jouët Champagne, and break your fast with the house specialty: caviar egg. Next, partake of rich duck rillettes with sourdough, Joselito ham, manchego cheese, and pastrami, Stilton with truffle honey and beef tartare freshly made at the table. But save some room for the seafood, including Boston lobster bisque, fresh lobster, tiger prawns, Norwegian smoked salmon and of course, freshly shucked oysters. After that, it’s time to warm up at the ‘Truffle Station’ with truffle-topped Champagne and parmesan risotto, and Yunnan mushroom ravioli. Carnivores will enjoy the house specialty, ‘VUE aux sarments,’ a century-old cooking technique from Southwestern France, where rib-eye steak is grilled on the vine shoots of Cabernet-Sauvignon, Cabernet-Franc and Merlot, which are grown from the vineyards in Ningxia and Shanxi. Garnished simply with chopped shallots and sea salt, this is steak at its best. Alternatively, enjoy a rack of lamb, or beef

roulade with red wine, bacon and mustard or peppery beef medallions au poivre. Last but not least, dessert. With over 14 treats to choose from, including à la minuit crêpes Suzette with Cointreau caramel orange sauce, ice pralines, baked cheesecake, macarons, walnut or apple tarts and vanilla panna cotta, we’ll be willing to bet you wish this Sunday would never end.

Straight no Chaser First up, Shanghai's getting its first magic bar, courtesy of local illusionist and Bund 18 owner, Anson Chen and fellow performer Joe Deng. Blackstone Magic Bar will be a combination of "Japanese-style magic bar and a German close-up magic theater," and situated in Found 158 (where else?!). Chris Xi of EPIC will be in charge of cocktails, and Kokai Studios will be putting together the sexy interiors. Also coming to that same development at the end of 2016 is a standalone Goose Island Brewhouse, set in a 1,200 square meter space. Our man on the ground tells us they'll be brewing Goose Island onsite in addition to importing beers, and will have an extensive food program with dry-aged meat cooked in an imported Josper oven from Spain (same as the one at RAW).

News reaches us from the Shanghai Brewery Group that one of their centrally located branches, Hengshan Lu, will be closing for two and a half months for renovation. Luckily, there's always Shanghai Brewery Hongmei Lu...

Last month was also the inaugural DRiNK Magazine Bar Awards, held in the glitzy Wanda Reign on the Bund hotel. Liquid Laundry, Speak Low, The Nest, Otto e Mezzo Bombana, Hakkasan, The Long Bar and Union Trading Company (surprise, surprise!) all scooped up prizes.

Funkadeli All Grown Up By Betty Richardson

ith an army of die-hard fans, we knew it wouldn’t be long before Funkadeli bounced back from losing their Yongkang Lu branch earlier in 2016. Perhaps it was fate for the Funka Group, whose recent projects also include The Parrot on Donghu Lu, since opportunity has presented them with a new, bigger, Funkadeli 2.0 on the busy Fumin and Xinle Lu intersection. Equal parts restaurant and bar, it’s clear that Funkadeli 2.0 has graduated from its early days as a delicatessen with a knack for making an addictively good spritz. The inside feels like a smart European bistro, tied together with a long bar stacked to the rafters with Campari. More space has also given Funkagroup mixologist Johan Holmberg room to expand on the cocktail program. Serving everything from garibaldis, sparking negronis, cucumber chili margaritas, espresso martinis, black Manhattans (bourbon, Amaro averna, Luxardo black cherry), and their famous Campari spritz – all of which are as potent at sister bar The Parrot. And pleasingly, none of them tip over the RMB65 mark. As with the original Funkadeli, hot paninis (RMB45-65) stuffed with everything from 12-month aged Parma ham to fiordilatte mozzarella remain the forte of the food menu.

Now, they’re also joined by platters of cold cuts, cheese, lasagnas and other basic Italian staples. Vibe-wise, the bar is a little quieter than the raucous affair of the Yongkang Lu branch, but we reckon it will reach its full potential when the weather warms up, and once again fans will line Funkadeli’s patio, spritz in hand.

Price: RMB50-150 per person Who’s going: mainly expats, young locals Good for: cocktails, happy hours, casual drinking, Italian food, lunch

ASL

Pint-sized Fun By Betty Richardson

t’s not often a decent new club pings onto our radar, and with a name like Age, Sex, Location (ASL for short), we didn’t immediately have high hopes for this new party den in Jing’an. We do like to be proved wrong, however, and as it turns out, a night on the tiles at ASL is often as fun as its rivals on Donghu Lu. No club in Shanghai is without an abundance of bottle-serviced tables, often at the expense of a decent dance floor and bar, and while ASL is no exception, its relatively small proportions mean the club manages to conjure an intimate vibe. If you’re not going down the bottle-popping route, ASL’s twin bars are enough to cover a night’s entertainment, and its modestly sized dance floor has the added benefit of getting you up close and personal with the DJ booth. As for the music, ASL makes like Shanghai’s other mainstream clubs and drills out a steady stream of chart house music and EDM. On most nights, ASL’s patrons are a youthful bunch, made up of what must be the majority of Shanghai’s under-30 Taiwanese population. Non-Asian expat partiers are definitely in the minority here, but the club’s international atmosphere makes it a friendlier option than other local clubs. Getting past the door staff is also relatively easy, provided gents in your party aren’t wearing shorts, flip flops or other nightclub no-nos. Drink prices and quality are what you’d expect from a Shanghai nightclub, steep and average quality. Fortunately you won’t be paying through the nose for them, prices are around RMB70 for cocktails. Tables are another story, however. the cheapest you’ll get away with is RMB4,000 for a six-seater. Be also warned that the action here doesn’t go on too late, on all but the busiest nights the party tapers off after 2am. Price: RMB70 for drinks, tables from RMB4,000 Who’s going: young locals, a few expats Good for: partying, groups, birthdays, EDM

Budweiser

Recommends Rucker Park

n the spirit of all things red, white and blue, Rucker Park diner and bar keeps things as American as they come in Shanghai. Unlike your average sports bar or comfort food diner, however, Rucker Park gives you the opportunity to work off those calories at their on-site batting cages, plus indoor and outdoor basketball courts. What’s more, the batting cages are also adjustable to all skill levels. Beginners can start off at a leisurely 60/km pitching speed, and work their way up to 80, 100 and even 120/ km. Prices for each game are just RMB10. After working up a hearty appetite honing your baseball techniques or working on your slam-dunk, move inside the bar and tuck into a menu of good value Western food. Popular options include pizza, onion rings, fries, steak, crunchy fried chicken nuggets and grilled chicken salad. On tap you’ll find icy pints of Budweiser to wash it all down with. But sports and dining is just one side of Rucker Park. You’ll also find a fully formed sports bar atmosphere here, complete with pool table, darts and TVs screening professional sports, including Champion League football and much more. Suitable for groups of all sizes, Rucker Park provides a taste of home for expats; whether you’re looking to catch the hottest sporting event, enjoy classic American comfort food, relax with a cold Budweiser, practice for the next World Series, or do all of the above. Price: RMB30-100 per person Who’s going: local and expat sports fans Good for: beer, groups, basketball, baseball, darts, pool

blue frog A Seasonal Twist to Casual Dining With more than 30 locations across China, blue frog is continuing to cement their role as the leader of China’s casual dining scene by introducing several seasonal favorites to warm you up for the colder days to come. Paying homage to the chain’s ‘bar and grill’ roots, be sure to look out for signature goodies coming straight from the char grill in the kitchen. This season’s biggest highlights include the Seafood Mixed Grill. A range of the oceans’ finest ingredients – shrimps, mussels, red fish and calamari – all get the char grill treatment to maximize their flavors by adding a touch of smokiness. Completed with dipping sauces like spicy aioli and an Asian sesame chive variety served on the side, the sharing platter is a great way to start off your meal. Also from the sea are the Pan-fried Icelandic Red Fish served with a sweet and sour bell pepper mango salsa and crispy roasted baby potatoes and Thai-style Shrimp Salad laced with refreshing tropical flavors from ingredients like coconut, mint, cilantro and a house-made dressing featuring lemongrass, garlic, chili, lime and a plethora of spices.

More Than Eat A Dozen Fresh Oysters In case you’ve been living under the sea for the last few years, oysters have exploded in popularity around Shanghai. These days you’ll find freshly shucked bivalves just about everywhere, from low-key bars to fancy hotels and everything in between. More than Eat, a newly opened food hall and eatery by the folks who brought us the popular Lost Heaven restaurants, is definitely riding this wave. Last month, they had the honor of hosting the delegation from the city of Victoria, Canada, on the Shanghai leg of their China tour to promote the natural seafood of their fair hometown. Celebrating the launch of imported Fanny Bay oysters to China, the luncheon hosted representatives from some of China’s biggest produce retailers, including Taobao, City Super, JiaRui Fine Foods, BC Trade and Invest and Yi Hao Dian, alongside the mayor of Victoria, Lisa Phelps. Guests were treated to a meal jam-packed with fresh seafood delights, including smoked salmon, shrimps and, of course, Fanny Bay oysters. So just what’s special about these Canadian bivalves? Grown on the beaches of the Pacific Ocean, Fanny Bay oysters are loved for showcasing the unique mineral flavor of their breeding ground, the Baynes Sound. They also have a firmer texture thanks to being tossed around on the rocky beaches of Fanny Bay. In other words, delicious.

TGI Fridays A Creative Jack Daniel’s Inspired Menu Many restaurant chains grow stale and tired as time passes them by, but TGI FridaysTM– opened since 1964 – is not one them. Constantly at the forefront of innovation, they’re often credited as the inventors of Happy Hour. Great food, superb service and a modern, inventive menu mean that TGI FridaysTM is always a fun and exciting place to eat. Jack Daniels is synonymous with the TGI FridaysTM brand. Naturally, a menu with Jack Daniel’s®-infused dishes is absolutely worth the trip alone. The glaze, the secret sauce and special cooking techniques set the ribs, the chicken and the steak apart from its competitors in Shanghai. The Jack Daniel’s® New York Strip (RMB228) is beautifully tender. Everything about this dish is spot on, whether it’s the smooth and creamy mashed potatoes or the crunchy broccoli, nothing on the plate lets it down. Of course, the star of the show – the steak – is high quality. Whether you like your steak rare or well done, you can expect it to be cooked perfectly. Another highlight is the Jack Daniel’s® Roasted Chicken. The beautifully sweet and savory Jack Daniel’s® glaze mixes in perfect harmony with mouth-watering, tender meat. The plump chicken is absolutely guaranteed to make you hum with happiness as you slowly clean your plate. The hardest part about eating at TGI is, of course, the decision making. Thankfully the geniuses behind the food have solved that problem. The Jack Daniel’s® Sampler (RMB198) is a great side to share. A third ribs, a third chicken fingers and a third shrimp, mean that everyone at the table can try a little bit of everything. Perfectly breaded chicken and shrimp are a real delight – and are also available for full orders if you want more. However, the absolute must-try is the Jack Daniel’s® ribs. Available as a half or a fullrack (RMB148 or RMB198), they are perfect for sharing too. Lovingly cooked for over three hours, the meat is succulent and tender and falls right off the bone.

The Cut Rooftop Above It All Rooftop bars and eateries away from the Bund are catching like wildfire in downtown Shanghai, and The Cut Rooftop is certainly no different. Capitalizing on their gorgeous and expansive terrace perched over bustling Huaihai Lu, the casual steak and frites bistro has recently launched a new food and cocktail menu especially for this sky-high abode. December may not be the best time for rooftop hangouts, but luckily for the incoming chilly climes, The Cut Rooftop is fully weather proofed. Thanks to an ingenious half-inside, half-outside design, patrons can make the best of the space year-round. During winter, hunker down with warm cocktails like eggnog and mulled wine while taking in spectacular city vistas. For summer, a range of ice-cold craft beers offering pale ale, IPAs, dark beers and everything in-between are not to be missed. Cocktail lovers will also find a full menu of crafted concoctions, like the citrus smash, which balances sweet with sour in a drink that acquaints lime, grapefruit and juicy tangerines with orange-flavored liqueur. Any sensible person knows not to drink on an empty stomach, and for that The Cut Rooftop has a unique tapas menu to pair with boozy libations. Offering a more contemporary vibe than its restaurant downstairs, find tasty bites like rock shrimp with grapefruit and cilantro lime dressing or Thai-style pork meatballs with a fiery spiced ginger sauce. Carnivorous tastes will appreciate Portuguese-style peri peri chicken wings or comforting baked cheese and pork ‘cordon bleu.’ Don’t forget to order a little dessert too, lychee and rose jam topped panna cotta is a particular favorite at The Cut Rooftop. Perfect for casual bites after work, late night drinks with friends, and romantic dates, The Cut Rooftop offers affordable high-class glamor without a trek to The Bund. Think of it as your year-round rooftop garden. > Address: Shanghai,999 Huaihaizhong Road, iapm mall, L7-705 (from the elevator inside The Cut Steak & Fries) TEL.: 021-6443 5136 Time: (during the trial run) every Wednesday through Sunday, from 2 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Walks the walk

André Villas-Boas in as Shanghai Elect for Svexit The CSL Managerial Merry-go-round Is on the Move BY IAN WALKER

A former England international goalkeeper, Ian Walker played for Tottenham Hotspur, Leicester City and Bolton Wanderers. In 2012 he moved to China to become goalkeeper coach of Shanghai Shenhua, before crossing the city divide to join Shanghai SIPG in 2014. Follow him on Twitter @IanWalks1.

he world is changing. The people have found their voice. And what they have called for is the established elite to be shaken to its core. So loudly, it would seem, that it has reached the Chinese Super League.

I am talking, of course, about Shanghai SIPG, who embarked on their very own Svexit last month: out went 68-year-old Sven-Göran Eriksson, the former England manager with four years of Chinese Super League experience; in came André Villas-Boas, a dashing young 39-year-old outsider from Portugal.

All jokes aside, working under Sven over the last two years was an honor – coming second in the league last season and reaching the Asian Champions League in our first outing this season being two highlights. However, finishing third in the CSL this season with fewer points than 2015, and 12 adrift of champions Guangzhou Evergrande,

4 More Big Name Managers in the CSL

Luiz Felipe Scolari

World Cup winning coach with Brazil in 2002, now wins everything at Guangzhou Evergrande 112 | December 2016 | www.thatsmags.com

was perceived by club bosses as a step back. Elimination in the fourth round of the Chinese FA Cup didn’t help either, especially in a business where silverware is the aim of the game.

As for Villas-Boas, I have never worked with him personally, but he is a leading young manager with modern ideas. I have heard he got his break – and his UEFA coaching licences – while he was just a teenager under Bobby Robson at Porto. He then cut his teeth as an assistant coach at the club under José Mourinho, who took him on to Chelsea and Inter Milan – not a bad sorcerer to apprentice under.

Dragan Stojković

The long time captain of Yugoslavia and star of the 1990 World Cup is Guangzhou R&F boss

Manuel Pellegrini

Villas-Boas has also been the coach of SIPG’s US$61 million Asian transfer fee record breaking striker, Hulk, on two previous occasions - once when he was the boss of Porto from 2010-11, and again when he was at the Russian side Zenit Saint Petersburg from 2014-16. Together, they won trophies for both clubs. Let’s hope they can work the same magic here.

This won’t be the last time we talk about the CSL managerial merry-go-round either – at the time of writing the Shanghai Shenhua hot seat is empty after the sacking of Spaniard Gregorio Manzano, while Sven’s China days may not be over – he has already been linked with Beijing Guo’an.

The Chilean has traded in Real Madrid and Manchester City for Hebei China Fortune

Fabio Cannavaro

The Italian World Cup winning captain is the coach of the newly promoted Tianjin Quanjian
