EDITOR’S NOTE
≷␄ᛵᾭ
BON
VOYAGE
⎬㞴㼆榊
elcome aboard Star Cruises! Throughoutt its
fleet, Start Cruises aims to create relaxingg and
versatile vacations, enabling you to cast aside
isure
stress and thoroughly indulge in your leisure
time. On board, pick a quiet corner of the ship
and enjoy the clear blue sky and warm sea
breeze of the early spring, or enjoy the variety of on-board entertainment
and themed events.
In April 2014, Hong Kong will become the home port of Star Cruises’
SuperStar Virgo, Singapore will become the home of SuperStar Gemini and
SuperStar Aquarius will return to Taiwan, with Keelung City as its homeport.
Meanwhile, SuperStar Libra will continue to call Penang in Malaysia its home
port. In an effort to provide even more enriching Asian experiences to you,
Star Cruises is staging an ASEAN food festival, bringing aboard the region’s
many colourful cuisines, with popular dishes such as grilled prawns with
lemongrass and fenugreek beans from Thailand, and Singapore-style chilli
crab. These appetising dishes will enable travellers to get a taste of authentic
ASEAN cuisines before heading out on a tour of the actual destinations.
The home ports of the Star Cruises’ fleet are famous for their tourist
attractions. The Garden City of Singapore, for instance, is known for having
lush greenery that will inject fresh air into your journey. Hong Kong, meanwhile, has a vibrant cultural scene. The city’s many museums, art galleries
and creative events are major attractions that bring together the region’s art
collectors and art lovers. Migrant Chinese culture, meanwhile, has enriched
Penang for generations. Its ancestral halls belonging to various Chinese
clans are a unique fusion of Chinese and Malaysian architectural styles;
those who appreciate historical architecture will certainly not want to miss
visiting these attractions.
Last, but not least, we hope that such vividly rich content and vibrant
scenery will inspire everyone to explore the lesser-known aspects of their
destinations. We wish you a truly happy holiday on board Star Cruises.

Hugely popular in Asia and growing internationally, dragon-boat racing is an adrenaline-fuelled
water sport in which teams of up to 22 people
paddle long, canoe-like craft. The annual
Dragon Boat Festival, also called Tuen Ng, takes
place in June, with races in Asia ranging from
200-metre sprints to high-endurance hauls of up
to two-kilometres. More light-hearted events
include fancy-dress races, bath tub tournaments
and impromptu dance performances.
Taipei, Penang and Hong Kong all host races.
In Singapore, boat crews from all over the world
compete on Bedok Reservoir, while in Taipei the
action takes place on the Keelung River. In
Malaysia’s Penang, competitions can be seen on
the largest water reserve on the island, Teluk
Bahang Dam. Hong Kong hosts the oldest and
largest event, in Victoria Harbour at Tsim Sha
Tsui. Typically, more than 5,000 participants
represent 200 international teams for a weekend of racing.

Chef Rohit Kanti has been
serving a well-received curry
buffet every Monday to Friday
for the past 10 years, with
several different varieties on
offer. The chef has brought
Indian cuisine into the healthconscious present. “I don’t use
that much ghee,” says Kanti. “I
use salad oil and olive oil, which
are lighter. Of course, some
specific dishes require coconut
milk but I don’t use it often
because it’s too heavy. I also
don’t like too much chilli powder
because, in my opinion, it’s not
good for your health. Fresh

green chillies are much better.”
Food for thought.

Chefs Duangporn Songvisava
(aka Bo) and Dylan Jones study
ancient cookbooks and dish out
Thai food for connoisseurs. “One
thing we’ve found from reading
older texts is that the spices
used in a curry paste were once
determined by the proteins in
the meat,” says Jones, with more
dried spice used for heavier or
darker cuts. “For example, beef
and lamb would get dried spices,
whereas a fish curry would have
lots of fresh lemongrass, galangal and grachai [a type of
ginger].” The chefs pay special
attention to the varieties of
green curry. “Expect a green
curry of fish balls served with
khanom jeen (thin rice noodles)
to be spicy and fragrant of
grachai and lemongrass. The
curry should be reasonably
saucy but not too thin. A green
curry of beef with roti should be
salty, spicy, quite thick and oily.
The predominant spice note
should be quite dry, thanks to
the coriander seeds and cumin.”

Actor, author and all-round
renaissance man Takashi
Matsuo is a curry aficionado
who’s pushing to bring Japan’s
curry back to its Indian roots. His
staff caramelise onions in the
North Indian tradition and don’t
thicken the sauce with flour.
“Our curry is woven from the
wisdom of India, the herbs and
spices of traditional Chinese
medicine and the pleasure of
European-style dining,” says
Matsuo. “It is all balanced with
the harmony of Japan. You can
think of curry as the Eurasian
continent’s finest joint creation.”

Executive chef Alex Garés
serves up some of the island’s
favourite curries. “The vast
majority of Southern Thai
curries are coconut based,” says
Garés. “Coconut palms are
everywhere. We also use a lot of
kapi (shrimp paste) which is an
ingredient typical of the south.
Southern curries tend to be very
spicy because local fishermen
use a lot of chilli as a preservative. In curries such as massaman, panaeng and chu chi,
there’s also a strong IndianMalay influence. Rich in flavour,
these dishes make use of
ingredients such as cardamom,
cinnamon and star anise, which

curries at KOH, at

Resort Koh Samui
Curry was introduced to Southeast Asia via Indian traders
at the crossroads of the ancient spice trade. In the elaborate
Indian cuisines, there are hundreds of spice blends, with
cumin, coriander and clove particularly common. Thai curries typically feature fresh herbs rarely used in India, such
as lemongrass and kaffir-lime leaves.
Malaysian curries, meanwhile, feature fewer fresh herbs
but a lot of the same dried spices found in Indian dishes.
Turmeric powder, for instance, gives Malaysian curries
their distinctive yellow colour. Extra flavour comes from
palm sugar and a pungent Southeast Asian shrimp paste
called belachan.
The Japanese adopted an Anglicised curry during the
Meiji period (1868-1912) and use a roux base of butter and
flour. The result is thick, sometimes gloppy, and often
includes soy sauce, umami and dashi – Japan’s staple fish
and kelp stock.

Romans in the second century.
The renowned Roman poet
Ausonius lived in the town in
the fourth century and lauded
the quality of the wine in
verse. He owned about 40
hectares of vineyards, and the
Château Ausone is named in
his memory.
The hilly terrain is ideal for
merlot and cabernet franc,
which have emerged as the
dominant varieties on SaintÉmilion’s limestone slopes and
gravelly plateaus. Cabernet
sauvignon comprises only a
small percentage of the grapes
grown in the area, as it does
not favour this environment.
In comparison to the vast
estates of the Bordeaux left
bank, Saint-Émilion’s producers
tend to be small landholders.
The local vineyards can be as
small as one hectare and are
often family-owned operations.
As a result, winemaking is
frequently a small-scale, handson affair. In fact, producers are
often referred to as garagistes
— makers of garage wine.
The local wine estates are
ranked using a unique classification known as the SaintÉmilion Grand Cru Classé
system. Established in 1955, it
is a three-tiered system
comprising Premier Classé A,
which contains the four best
châteaux; Premier Classé B, a
list of the next 14 châteaux;
and Grand Cru Classé, which
includes the other 64 vineyards. Since 1969, the classifications have been revised
every decade or so. The most
recent peer-review tasting in
2012 saw Château Cheval
Blanc and Château Ausone
joined by two newcomers,
Château Pavie and Château
Angélus, in the top class.
Stylistically, all Saint-Émilion
wines tend to be opulent and
beautifully perfumed, underpinned by fine tannins and
supple fruit. The small-scale
production and rarity of the
wines account for the often
high price tags.

he French medieval
town Saint-Émilion is
a UNESCO World
Heritage site, nestled
in the hillsides that run along
the right bank of Bordeaux’s
Dordogne River. Thousands of
visitors come each year to see
the town’s rustic buildings and
cobblestone streets, a quaint
beauty that stands in contrast
to the stately châteaux of the
nearby Médoc region.
It is believed that grapes
were first planted here by the
Saint-Émilion was named after the monk who lived there in
the 8th century. Merlot grapes (above) are ideally suited to
the area’s hilly terrain. Château Pavie (below) attained the
rank of Premier Classé A in 2012

PEPPER PIE
People from Mainland China’s Fujian Province
have been migrating to Taiwan in considerable
numbers since the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and
have played a big part in shaping the food culture
of the island. One popular snack they have
contributed is the pepper pie, which originated
in Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian. The dish contains
minced pork and spring onions wrapped in
a flaky crust that’s topped off with sesame seeds.
With their crispy crusts, the spicy kick from the
pepper and delicious juicy meat, the pies
are enjoyed piping hot, right out of the oven.
Many snack stalls also pride themselves on
making pies with spring onions from Taiwan’s
Yilan County, where the fertile soil gives them a
strong flavour.

MINCED PORK RICE
This classic Taiwanese snack, called lu rou fan, has
been popular on the island for many generations.
The essence of its taste comes from the stewed
meat and sauce; the longer the meat has been
stewed, the better it gets. The style of the meat varies from region to region and may take the form of
minced pork or larger pieces. In Taichung’s Second
Market, the Li Hai Lu Rou Fan snack store is famous
for serving generous portions of marinated pork
belly, complete with cabbage and marinated bamboo shoots. The shop opens in the evening until
the early hours of the morning.

Bawan is a large disc-shaped semi-translucent
dough dumpling filled with pork, bamboo shoots
and shiitake mushrooms. Either fried or steamed,

cornstarch and sweet-potato starch topped with
a sauce that varies in taste depending on
individual recipes. Bawan also vary by region: the
Changhua style, available at fresh food markets in
Kaohsiung, is deep fried; in Jiufen, the stuffing is
made of pork pickled in wine sauce; in Pingtung,
bawan are always steamed, a style that can be
found at most night markets in Taichung. It is
traditional to eat bawan with a soup made of
ingredients such as huai shan (wild yam), fox nuts,
lotus seeds and fuling mushroom. The light
flavours of the soup are the perfect complement
to the meaty taste of the dumpling.

NUTRITIOUS SANDWICH
In Taiwan, as elsewhere, food is coming under a
growing global influence. A case in point is the socalled nutritious sandwich. Resembling a hotdog,
the nutritious sandwich is filled with Western ingredients such as ham, cucumber, tomato and salad
dressing, while a soy-sauce-marinated egg and a
deep-fried exterior add a Taiwanese touch. A trip
to Keelung is not complete without tasting this
snack – the local Miaokou Night Market is where the
sandwich first earned its fame. Many street stalls
there do a roaring trade in this late-night snack.
TAIWANESE HOTDOG
Known in Chinese literally as “big sausage wrapping small sausage”, this snack appears to be Western in shape but is entirely Taiwanese in its
creation. A long bun made of glutinous rice is
wrapped around a pork sausage, which is slit open
and filled with garlic, slices of ginger and mustard.
A more sophisticated version comes with pickled
vegetables. Whether the dish is tasty or not
depends largely on the pork sausage itself. Eating
this snack, with its dripping mustard, is often a
messy affair, but utterly worth it.
Up all night ᘝጴᯔᤳ
Taiwan is known for its night markets, which host a wide variety
of shops and and a vast array of food stalls. Apart from the dishes
already mentioned, classic street foods include salted crispy
chicken, oyster omelettes, rice dumplings, taro balls with grass
jelly, thick soup noodles and rice-tube pudding. Find them at
these locations:

n Singapore, during school holidays,
teacher Phyllis Toh takes a long bike
ride on the 42-kilometre Eastern Coastal
Loop. From her home in the eastern
town of Pasir Ris she cycles along the
scenic seaside trail to East Coast Park,
makes her way through several residential estates
to Bedok Reservoir Park and then back east, returning home about five hours later.
This car-free and landscaped path is part of the
230-kilometre Park Connector Network, which provides verdant corridors joining up Singapore’s
many parks. “The park connectors have allowed
me to discover cycling not just as a hobby but also
as a lifestyle,” Toh says.
Singapore, more than most of Asia’s modern cities, is full of parks and greenery. Many of its buildings feature garden breakout spaces and a
tree-lined highway connects the city to the airport.
From its early ambition to become a “garden city”
in the 1970s and 1980s, Singapore has long recognised the benefits that come with cultivating a
green urban environment.
“Being surrounded by greenery is good for our
well-being,” says Tan Jun Han, Director of the (Planning Policies) Urban Redevelopment Authority
(URA). “Despite being land-scarce, we have purposefully set aside about eight percent of our land
for nature reserves, parkland and roadside trees. It
softens our urban landscape and brings other benefits, such as improving air quality and reducing
the urban heat island effect.”
Parks have been developed to provide an assortment of activities and sights. Bedok Reservoir Park,
for instance, is popular for water sports and has

named aerial Forest Adventure. Here, urbanites
can unleash their inner Tarzans by swinging on
trapezes, abseiling and crossing the forest via purpose built elevated wooden bridges.
The Central Catchment Nature Reserve is the
largest in Singapore. With more than 2,000-hectares of lush forest, it acts as a green lung in the
heart of the city and helps preserve the rich biodiversity of the native tropical forestland. The
reserve’s MacRitchie Trails are a 20-kilometre
series of paths and boardwalks that wend their
way through the forest and around MacRitchie
Reservoir. Meanwhile at TreeTop Walk, a 250metre suspension bridge hovers 25-metres above
the forest floor.
Another route among the park connectors is the
26-kilometre North Eastern Riverine Loop. Here,
cyclists can enjoy long stretches of wetland and
observe a variety of birds and plant life along the
way. Waterside birds such as the Collared Kingfisher and White-Breasted Waterhen can often be
spotted fishing for their supper at Sungei Pinang
Canal, which runs adjacent to Punggol Park. Similarly, Punggol Promenade Nature Walk is a 2.4-kilometre trail from which the Paddyfield Pipit and
Olive-Backed Sunbird can be observed.
While Singapore’s many gardens and parks flourish, the city’s ambition to be even greener has
involved leveraging its technological credentials.

Central Catchment Nature Reserve
The Central Catchment Nature Reserve is

Banded Leaf Monkey (Presbytis femoralis)
and the Sunda Pangolin (Manis javanica).

with the climate-controlled conservatories of the
Cloud Forest and Flower Dome, which have transported Mediterranean and alpine plant life to the
tropics. It also is home to 18 “supertrees” – treeshaped vertical gardens up to 50-metres tall. Constructed of reinforced concrete and steel, the “trees”
contain more than 162,900 plants, including tropical bromeliads, orchids and climbers. At night, the
trees are illuminated by a light display using energy
from photovoltaic cells embedded in the treetops.
Technology has also revitalised Bishan Park. The
use of bioengineering techniques and carefullyselected plants has transformed a concrete canal
into a meandering river that is now home to an
entire eco-system of aquatic life. The 62-hectare
park also features three dedicated areas for children, including a playground that uses recycled
water, which is open on weekends.
Learning and play in a natural setting are also
features of Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden in Singapore Botanic Gardens. With the theme “All Life on
Earth Depends on Plants”, the garden aims to give
children under 12 a grounding in life sciences and
to inspire a sense of wonder for nature.
While Singapore’s interconnected parks and
natural urban spaces are widely recognised, the
city’s aim to be a “garden city” has evolved. “We
have grown,” explains the URA’s Tan Jun Han.
“From being a garden city, our aim now is to
become a city in a garden.”
Cyclists can enjoy stretches of

HONG KONG 欨㾾
or a long time considered “a cultural desert”, Hong Kong is now
seen as one of the region’s key
hubs for contemporary art. As of
March 2013, the city was the
world’s third-largest market by auction sales, after New York and London, and last
year Art Basel held its first Asian show in the city.
Hong Kong’s success is due in part to its central
location. The city is a gateway to the growing art
scene in the Asia-Pacific region, connecting galleries and auction houses to about 3.7 million highnet-worth individuals.
“Hong Kong is attractive because of its tax and
open-port status and that will always be relevant,”
says John Batten, art curator and organiser of Hong
Kong ArtWalk. In Hong Kong, there is no valueadded or sales tax on art sales; nor is there any
import or export duty.
It’s no surprise, then, that respected galleries
from all over the world have flocked to the city,
forming a “golden circle” in the Central district. It is
easy to walk from gallery to gallery and explore
exciting offerings from Asia and the West, with
many of the venues beautifully designed creative
spaces worth the visit alone.

BEN BROWN FINE ARTS
Ben Brown was one of the first gallerists to open in
the historical Pedder Building, setting a trend that
has seen the building become a nucleus for art in
Hong Kong. The former Sotheby’s director of Contemporary Art hired AFSO, the firm led by Hong
Kong’s wunderkind architect, Andre Fu, to create
his Hong Kong gallery. Fu left the ceilings raw and
open in order to make the most of their four-metre
height and his simple, calm design allows the
viewer to focus on the Western and international
art on display. The gallery represents artists such
as industrial artist and designer Ron Arad, photographer Candida Höfer and painter Simon Birch.

OMA, the architecture firm headlined by Rem
Koolhaas, designed this Queen’s Road Central gallery. OMA conceived it as a “box within a box”,
encasing the gallery’s three rooms in an aluminium
space that can be seen from the street. The effect
is cocooning, enabling visitors to view pieces by
emerging and established contemporary artists in
a secluded and spacious environment. The eponymous gallerist inaugurated his Hong Kong space
with an exhibition of the largest collection of Pablo
Picasso works to have been shown in the city.

GAGOSIAN HONG KONG
Larry Gagosian’s illustrious career has spanned
several decades and several continents. He first set
up in Los Angeles and now has galleries in New
York, Rome, Paris and Hong Kong. The Hong Kong
gallery launched in 2011 with Forgotten Promises,
the first solo show in Asia from British artist Damien Hirst. Photorealistic paintings and gold sculptures featured alongside a controversial piece
called For Heaven’s Sake – a diamond-encrusted
platinum cast of human baby’s skull. The gallery
has since hosted solo exhibitions of works by Roy
Lichtenstein, Richard Prince and Zheng Fanzi.

Galerie Perrotin opened its Hong Kong branch with

arrival in Hong Kong was highly anticipated, not
least because of its size: it’s spread over 8,000
square feet. The space has arresting harbour views,
something its designer, Andre Fu, wanted to retain.

annually open their doors for the
Hong Kong ArtWalk, an evening of
food, wine and art. Many are in
Central and Sheung Wan, within
walking distance of each other, but
some are as far afield as the upand-coming area of Wong Chuk

Sundaram Tagore Gallery hosts a variety of
events as well as showcasing fine art
Art Basel Hong Kong
kicked off last year,
with 60,000 visitors,
245 galleries from 35
countries, more than
2,000 artists, and a
positive response from
visitors. “Art Basel is
about the art rather
than the money,” says
John Batten, of Hong
Kong ArtWalk.
This year’s event will
run from 15-18 May and
visitors can see a mix of
20th- and 21st-century
paintings, drawings,
sculptures, photographs,
installations, video and
much more at the

eep your sunglasses close at
hand when you enter Khoo
Kongsi, the richest of the carved,
gilded clanhouses in Penang.
These lavish and often grand
buildings are the legacy of Chinese immigrants who arrived in Malaysia in the 18th
and 19th centuries, a living heritage that pays tribute
to their collaborative achievements. With more than
170 kongsi, the Malaysian state has one of the densest
concentrations of lineage institutions outside China.
The migrants brought their cultural-religious traditions when they emigrated from South China –
many from Hokkien-speaking Fujian Province – and
that legacy has endured. Clan membership was
based around a shared surname or village of origin
and the kongsi provided assistance to build a new
life, from accommodation to jobs and cultural continuity for arrivals who often had nothing but debt.
When established, members served their clan. The
kongsi is a space for the rituals of ancestral veneration and keeps genealogical records to preserve
lineage. Many Chinese believe the dead live on as
spirits, continuing to influence their descendents.
They, as represented by a temple-housed tablet,
must be honoured to maintain filial piety.
George Town is home to numerous kongsi, particularly in the state capital’s UNESCO World Heritage Site core and buffer zones. These include the
“big five” Hokkien clanhouses: Lim, Yeoh, Cheah,
Tan, and Khoo, which is the grandest kongsi in
Malaysia, if not the region.
“Clans are caretakers of built and intangible heritage,” says historian David Faure, author of Emperor
and Ancestor: State and Lineage in South China. He
says filial piety was considered a virtue, but also a
form of business savvy, as being filial meant one
was creditworthy. Making money for oneself might
be considered selfish, but prosperity was good for
your ancestors.
Ronni Pinsler, a local culture expert based in Singapore, says the kongsi and their Taoist rituals “are
a traditional link to the past”, though the lavish
clanhouses are the result of increased wealth. The
Hokkien word kongsi is used for clan, but translates
literally as company.
The “big five” were the backbone of Hokkien society in early Penang and with five streets named
after them the Khoos played an important role. A
major historic site and tourist attraction, the Khoo
Kongsi complex includes administration buildings,
an opera stage, shops and its ornate clanhouse.

than six centuries, and the clan was inaugurated in
1835. Its present temple, rebuilt after fire, was completed in 1906. Khoo Boo Hong, Honourable Secretary for the past 24 years, says the temple was built
of wood with an Indo-Malay influence on the floorplan, raised to protect against flooding and incorporating Western elements such as wrought-iron
fencing. Ongoing maintenance, paid for with admission fees, is performed by craftsmen from China.
The clanhouse is the kongsi’s “greatest treasure”,
says Khoo. Also valuable are its 27 volumes of
detailed ancestral records that Mainland Chinese
visitors consult to find information lost in the 196676 Cultural Revolution. “Many visitors from China
have never seen a temple like this,” he says.
Khoo Salma Nasution, writer, social historian and
President of the Penang Heritage Trust, says that as a
Khoo, the kongsi is “a special part of my heritage”. She
respects clanhouses as places for teaching Confucian philosophy, a “kind of humanism” encompassing
gratitude, acknowledgment and tolerance. “Clan temples still represent some of these old values,” she says.
Kwoh Soo Chen, Executive Secretary of the Penang Chinese Clan Council (Malaysia), has spent two
years editing and researching more than 100 kongsi
for the first volume of Chinese Clans in Penang: A
Concise History. She is impressed with how the
clans maintain traditions, such as celebrating the
Lunar New Year with “open house” activities, the
winter solstice in December, and the “grave sweeping” festival in April. “This is one part of Chinese culture you can still see in Penang,” she says.

Established in 1810, Cheah Kongsi is one of the
oldest clans and welcomes visitors, even though
refurbishments – including the creation of an
“interpretation centre” to explain its economic and
social history – will continue until 2015. The temple’s style is “classic Hokkien” with British colonial
elements. Cheah Swee Huat, clan chairman, says
one of his responsibilities is to make new generations “aware of Chinese and Hokkien culture”. The
clan does this by “celebrating the religious festivals
and holding functions for the Lunar New Year and
other events”, he says.
The 90-year-old Yap Kongsi, located along Lebuh
Armenian and open to visitors who ask permission,
stands on a 10,056-square-foot parcel of land
donated by self-made businessman Yeap Chor Ee.
Members share the surname Yap, or Yeap.
Teoh Kongsi, located off Lebuh Carnavon, is
named after the tycoon who established it, Cheong
Fatt Tze – Teoh being the Hokkien pronunciation of
Cheong. The clan maintains records, helps educate
children and celebrates seasonal festivals. “We unite
and make things happen,” says Lily Teoh, the kongsi’s Youth Secretary.
With its elaborate façade of carved stone and pillars swathed in dragons, the Penang Hainan Association on Lebuh Muntri is popular with visitors.
Founded to help Hainanese in Penang, the clanhouse is open daily and organises ceremonies
dedicated to its deity, the Chinese sea goddess Mazu.
Datuk Lim Chiew Ah, the clan’s first female president, says the association serves the community
through events, supporting education and as a tourist attraction. Young people are involved in making
the clan digital; a Facebook page has been created
and there are plans to launch a website. Lim says
that travellers from Mainland China are often interested in studying the clan’s records.
In the multicultural mix that made Penang a
vibrant port city, the kongsi hold an important role
and are evolving to engage new generations. Protecting distinct elements of Chinese and Malaysian
history, they are part of the “cultural townscape”
underscoring George Town’s 2008 inclusion on the
UNESCO World Heritage List.

longevity of its people and the
ferocity of battles fought during
World War II. It is also the birthplace of karate, a form of selfdefence now practised by
millions across the world.
In the 15th and 16th century, Okinawa, then
known as the Ryukyu Kingdom, was a nation of
traders that had strong connections with both
China and Japan. Okinawans had a traditional
fighting style known as te, but they also learned
Chinese kenpo from visiting merchants, emissaries
and their bodyguards. The hybrid fighting style
produced was called karate. Although in recent
years “kara-te” has been translated as “empty hand”,
the original meaning of the word – “Chinese hand”
– reveals its origins.
In 1609, the Satsuma clan of southern Japan
invaded Okinawa. Once in control, the samurai
banned the locals from carrying weapons or practising martial arts. Okinawans learned how to
defend themselves behind the cloak of everyday
life – farming equipment became weapons and
martial-arts training was hidden in folk dances.
Karate made the jump to mainland Japan in the

1920s and then, in the latter part of the 20th century, its popularity spread across the world. The
internationalisation and commercialisation of
karate has led some to believe that it is little more
than a sport, or worse, a business opportunity. On
Okinawa, however, karate remains in its traditional
form: a method of self-defence and a way of life.
There are four main styles of Okinawan karate:
Uechi-ryu, Goju-ryu, Shorin-ryu and Matsubayashiryu. Many karate students on Okinawa also study
kobudo, the use of traditional weapons such as the
bo staff and nunchaku.
Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme may
be the most famous proponents of karate, but the
true masters of the art are based on Okinawa. It is
on this small group of subtropical islands that they
continue to train, passing down their wisdom to
locals and international students who have made
a pilgrimage to karate’s spiritual heart.
Kiyohide Shinjo was the nine-time Okinawa
Karate Champion in both kumite (sparring) and
kata (set forms). His skill and power gained him the
nickname “The Okinawan Superman”. In 1979,
when his father died, he retired from competition
undefeated and took over the family dojo.
Now at age 62, Shinjo sensei travels around the

world judging competitions and checking that
overseas dojos are not diverging from traditional
techniques. “Karate is like a banyan tree with its
roots based in Okinawa,” says Shinjo. “Sometimes
branches grow from the main trunk and it is my job
to prune these outgrowths back so that Uechi-ryu
remains in its pure form and is not mixed with
other styles of martial arts or even gymnastics. It is
my calling to make sure the traditional skills of
Uechi-ryu are handed down to future generations.”
When asked if after a lifetime of training there is
any more he can learn, Shinjo sensei replies: “You
can never achieve perfection; you just keep on
training, staying fit, staying strong. Karate allows
you to protect your family, maintain your health
and gives you pride in your abilities.”
Masaji Taira sensei is renowned for the level of
conditioning he puts his body through. His calloused knuckles are testament to the fact he has
spent thousands of hours punching wooden
boards. His deep understanding of karate comes
from the analysis of techniques so that he can see
how best to apply each strike, block or kick with
maximum efficiency.
Brutal methods are used by Takehiro Gaja sensei
to condition himself for open-hand techniques
using fingertips to jab an attacker. He places a
bucket of sand on the floor and then drives his fingers down into the sand like a spear. He says once
your fingers can take this you can move on to the
next stage. He strides over to a second bucket filled
with small stones. He thrusts his hand into the
bucket so hard that rocks bounce out onto the dojo
floor. Some of the small stones have cracked and
splintered, Gaja sensei’s hand is unscathed.
Hidemi Tamayose sensei is a master of kobudo
and has filled his dojo with different types of traditional weapons. Some were designed specifically
for fighting, but many had once been farm tools
that were repurposed. He holds an unusually
shaped nunchaku then explains that it is shaped
after a horse’s bridle. Likewise the kama, a small

hand sickle, could be used to cut grass in the fields
or to deadly effect on an aggressor.
At 72 years old, Kensho Tokumura sensei shows
no signs of slowing down. Also a master of kobudo,
he shows how an Okinawan woman could use a
seven-centimetre steel rod as both a hairpin and a
means of self-defence. He gestures how, if someone
grabbed the woman’s shoulder, with one fluid
movement the hairpin would be removed from the
hair and placed firmly in the attacker’s arm.
Karate master Masakazu Kinjo has taught Uechiryu karate and kobudo for decades. Unsurprisingly,
his two sons, Satoshi and Kenta, have become
exceptionally talented in each discipline. What is
surprising is the contrast between the brutal training the masters put themselves through and the
calm, gregarious nature they have with others.
Kinjo sensei laughs and smiles as he demonstrates
the sansetsukon, a small three-piece nunchaku,
whirling it around his body. He explains how nunchaku can be used for striking or to trap and immobilise limbs. He demonstrates the technique with
his younger son. Kenta lunges forward to punch,
Kinjo clamps his son’s outstretched arm with the
nunchaku, then with a twist and a sidestep he has
completely taken control of the encounter. Once
again he flashes his beaming smile.
On many levels, a balance between hard and soft
is at the very heart of karate. In combat, the body
is soft, supple and fast until the final moment when
muscles lock tight. The masters are formidable
combatants capable of delivering devastating
blows, but their greatest power is as respected
members of the community teaching new generations the importance of discipline, hard work and
strength in both mind and body.
Toshimitsu Arakaki sensei has spent his whole
life training. Each day, he hones his skills in Matsubayashi-ryu karate practising movements he’s done
many thousands of times. I ask him on how many
occasions he has had to fight to defend himself outside the dojo. He smiles, then answers: “Never.”

The Karate Masters Portrait Project
began in March 2012, with the goal of
photographing the highest-ranking karate
masters living in Okinawa, the birthplace of
karate. James Pankiewicz, owner of the Dojo

Chris Willson how there were few, if any,

good pictures of certain karate masters, so
together they set out to visit the numerous

The portraits produced will hopefully
become a historical record of the grand
masters of Okinawan karate alive and
kicking at the start of the 21st century.

he Vietnamese city of Da Nang
is sandwiched between the lantern-lit riverfront town of Hoi An
to the south and the imperial
city of Hue to the north. With a
vast sweep of unspoilt beaches
fringed with densely forested mountains, Da
Nang has recently pulled in a steady stream of
big-name resorts. It’s not difficult to see the
appeal, either: dramatic scenery is coupled with
easy access to a treasure trail of UNESCO World
Heritage-listed sites. With pro-development policies, a well-put-together infrastructure and an
international airport known as the main hub for
the region, Da Nang is fast gaining momentum,
and its path to becoming the next Phuket or Bali
is only just beginning.

The family-oriented Angsana Lang Co hotel is part
of the newly built Laguna Lang Co development.
The location, less than a two-hour drive from Da
Nang via the Hai Van Tunnel, features lush green
mountains on one side and an idyllic beach on
the other. “The diversity and the magnitude of the
resort mixed in with the hills, mountains, beaches
and paddy fields are great ingredients for a fantastic holiday,” says Ravi Chandran, Managing Director of Laguna Lang Co.
Angsana Lang Co is accessed from the greater
resort’s entrance via shuttle buggy or by the manmade canal that acts as a waterway snaking
through the entire complex, taking guests past

Banyan Tree Lang Co
The Laguna Lang Co complex’s second hotel, the
Banyan Tree Lang Co, is a feast for the eyes. All 55
villas feature subtle design touches drawn from
the ancient feudal city of Hue. Each has a clay-tiled
pitched roof, an open courtyard, a wood rafter ceiling and intricate latticework featuring lotus motifs
emblematic of the imperial palaces. All of the villas are outfitted with a private plunge pool, a covered pavilion facing out onto a tropical private
garden and a glass-walled bathroom.
Among the resort’s main attractions is its Nick
Faldo-designed golf course. What was once scattered with vast swathes of rice paddies has been
reincarnated into a world-class 18-hole course.
Here, golfers play against a variety of dazzling
backdrops, from sandy beaches and lush jungle to
a tumbling waterfall and rocky outcrops that poke
out from the foliage.

On a stretch of beach lined with dime-a-dozen
resorts, Fusion Maia Da Nang has carved out a
niche with its all-inclusive spa. Laid out like a small
bungalow village overlooking the South China Sea,
the hotel’s 87 villas are set around an infinity pool.
Each villa comes with a rain shower, a sunken stone
bathtub, an outdoor courtyard and a private fullsize plunge pool tucked discreetly behind a redbrick wall and a canopy of exotic bamboo plants.
As part of the room rate, Fusion Maia Da Nang offers
unlimited spa treatments, guaranteeing the availability of at least two per day for every guest.
The Nam Hai
Sited on 35 hectares of well-tended tropical gardens overlooking the South China Sea, The Nam
Hai has 60 one-bedroom villas and 40 pool villas.
The design is an intriguing blend of ancient architectural motifs and contemporary style, intended
to be a modern interpretation of a nha ruong – the

Providing top-class cuisine for 2,000 passengers and 1,000 crew is all in a day’s
work for the executive chef of the SuperStar Virgo, Reinhard Karl Mammes, who
ensures all tastes are catered for on a luxury cruise

TALL ORDER
What's the biggest challenge of being the
head chef on board a ship? The SuperStar Virgo
region. This means we can plan our market lists well
ahead and accommodate the nationalities we
expect to have on board. We also ensure there are
plenty of options available for different tastes. On
SuperStar Virgo, for instance, the guests have a
choice of nine different food outlets, offering Western, Chinese, Asian and Indian Cuisine.
is a 13-deck, 75,338-tonne ship and its sheer size
means we have to produce an enormous number
of meals. On an average day, we provide catering
for 2,000 passengers, plus a crew of 1,000. Just in
eggs alone, the ship’s consumption is 35,000
every week.
How do you plan the ship’s menus? We like to
plan three months in advance and take into consideration the latest market trends, new ingredients and
guest preferences. The head chef of each outlet
drafts his or her own menus, which are then reviewed by the food-and-beverage and galley teams.
Different nationalities board at each port.
How do you cater for them? The nationalities of
our guests change with every cruise, but they’re
often dependent on variables that we can predict,
such as the schedule of school holidays around the

What’s the most popular item on the menu?
The 13-deck SuperStar
Virgo is the largest
vessel in the
Star Cruises fleet

ḥ⋞ᰑḻጱ➳⎬᲌ጙᛵḥ⋞
Every outlet is different. In our Asian restaurant, the
Blue Lagoon, for instance, bak-kut-teh [a Chinese
soup] and fish-head noodle soup are the most popular. At the Chinese banquet in Noble House, everyone
loves the Peking duck. In the Japanese restaurant,
Samurai, salmon sashimi and avocado salad is a big
hit, while Palazzo offers Italian fusion and here spaghetti lobster is a favourite among guests.
Is there a dish you think most people should
try and why? The Peking duck at Noble House.
The taste and crispiness of the skin is exceptional.
If you like fish, then the salmon sashimi and avocado salad of Samurai has an interesting combination of flavours and a unique presentation.
Which is your favourite port and why? Hong
Kong. When disembarking from
the vessel you’re immediately
in the centre of Kowloon, which
is really exciting. Even on board,
whether we’re docked or sailing
through, there is an unforgettable view of
the city, with Victoria Harbour on one side and
Tsim Sha Tsui on the other.
Up to 12,000 meals are served each day to guests and crew

time has ensured a bright future for
Asia’s leading cruise operator

he Star Cruises
concept was born
amid the crystal
waters of the
Bahamas. It was the mid 1980s
and Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay, then
an executive with the Genting
Group run by his father, Tan Sri
Lim Goh Tong, was working
on the development of the
Grand Lucayan Beach Resort
on Grand Bahama.
As the resort took shape, he
watched a series of sleek
cruise liners sailing by; North
America’s budding cruise
industry was just taking off
and Lim Kok Thay (also
known as KT Lim) realised it
was only a matter of time
before Asians were looking to
holiday in the same way.
“When I returned to Asia I
saw the potential for a worldclass cruise line here,” he says.
His reasoning was sound: Asia
had a growing prosperity and
beautiful natural scenery –
perfect for cruising. And
importantly, there was no competition in Asia at that time.
From the start KT Lim, now
T
70
Q2 2014 i n d u l g e
Chairman and Chief Executive
of the Genting Group, wanted
to do things differently; he
called it “freestyle cruising”.
There would be no ties or
tuxedos, just a relaxed resort
ambience where guests
choose what to do and when.
His ships would be floating
five-star resorts for everyone.
Today, KT Lim’s vision has
become the award-winning
Star Cruises, Asia’s leading
cruise operator which, in 2013,
celebrated its 20th anniversary. It has a fleet of 20 ships
cruising to 200 destinations
under the brands Star Cruises
and Norwegian Cruise Line.
But success didn’t happen
overnight: though KT Lim was
sure of the idea for an Asian
cruise operator he needed to
convince his father, the late
Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong, who
was Chairman of the company.
Together they visited the
local cruise industry based in
Miami and luckily Lim Goh
Tong liked what he saw. “It
was my first acquaintance
with the industry,” he wrote in
his 2004 autobiography, My
Story. “I told myself if I went
into this industry I would buy
the biggest and best cruise
ships . .. and make my entry as
a major player in Asia.”
The opportunity arose in
1993. An operator with two
newly built 1,700-passengercapacity ships had run into
financial difficulties. Genting
made a cash offer of US$162.5
million, which was accepted,
and Star Cruises was incorporated in the same year.
Though the cruise industry
was non-existent in Asia at
that time, Lim Goh Tong
stood firm. “I was convinced
investing in Asia’s cruise
industry was the right move
at the right time,” he wrote.
The first Star Cruises liner
Star Aquarius arrived in
Singapore in December 1993
for its maiden voyage. In 1998
the company took delivery
of its first new-build ship
SuperStar Leo followed by
SuperStar Virgo in 1999. The
new ships were an instant hit.
In November 2000 Star
Cruises listed on the Hong
Kong Stock Exchange. In the
same year it expanded with
the purchase of Norwegian
Cruise Line, making Star
Cruises the third-largest cruise
operator in the world.
The new cruise ships
allowed Star Cruises to tap
into the more established
markets of North America
and Europe, with cruises to
destinations from Hawaii and
the Bahamas to the Mediterranean, Canada and the
Mexican Riviera.
In November 2002, the
dual arrival of SuperStar Aries
and SuperStar Leo in Shanghai made maritime history as
it was the first time that two
world-class cruise liners had
been berthed alongside each
other at Gao Yang Pier.
Star Cruises has kept up a
regime of continuous

Cruises continually upgrades

cabins, ensuring that guests
have an all-encompassing
holiday experience.
Norwegian Cruise Lines
listed on New York Stock
Exchange in January 2013.
The investment continues
with the order of a brand-new
4,500-passenger-capacity
ship, designed especially for
the Asian market.
In 2013, Star Cruises was
inducted into the prestigious
Travel Trade Gazette’s Travel
Hall of Fame after winning
Best Cruise Operator in the
Asia Pacific for 10 consecutive
years. In the same year it was
also voted Asia’s Leading
Cruise Line at the World
Travel Awards for the second
year running.

There is a golf driving range,
fitness centre, swimming
pool, sun deck, twin hot tubs
and a Jacuzzi. Or sit back
with a drink and listen to gentle piano sounds in the
Crystal Court lobby lounge;
take in a dazzling cabaret at
the Stardust Lounge; hit the
high notes at Skyline KTV
karaoke; or dance the night
away at Boomer’s nightclub.
Food and drink: Choose
from a mouth-watering
range of dining options:
Four Seasons for a continental feast; the Mariner's
Buffet for a sumptuous
spread; Ocean Palace for
Chinese family dining; and
Spices for wok-fresh Asian
specialities. There are
plenty of spots for a quiet
drink, but start the evening
poolside with sundowner
cocktails at Coconut Willy’s.
Health and fitness:
Exercise overlooking the
ocean on the outdoor jogging
track, shoot hoops at the
basketball court or enjoy a
game of shuffleboard on the
dedicated sports deck. The
fitness centre has a wellequipped gym and sauna, and
the outdoor pool and expansive sun deck is the perfect
place to wind down.
