Introduction to food Singapore

Introduction to food Singapore

I get back from my trip to Singapore for about a week now and while I'vemostly completion of the six days of my small noodle bars I felt like I had just started to wrap my head around. The depth and diversity The food scene Singapore is a small country with a voracious appetite. "We will eat five or six meals a day," one local told me. "I do not say that to impress you, we really do.".
As well as in Malaysia, those foods will pull out of French fries, fried noodles to Malay Chinese Indian curries all slurped down with coffee, tea, ginger, hot or smells sweet citrus and herbs of calamansi limeade and no matter where you are or. what you are eating, you will hear the TSK ing about improved noodle, porridge, or tofu hawker at their favorite.
New Yorkers have never heard this argument is more about the killer, best food in town. This is a country of five million dead serious abuse of the people who asked, "Have you eaten?" As a form of greeting.
20120724-singapore-maxwell-hawker-center-table.jpg

It is also a country full of contradictions: Drive back to the colonial fervent Western in everything with a patchwork of immigrant culture that refuses to be ignored. Singapore food from the sky everywhere. But also in a sense of nowhere: local food is defined by what it borrows and how these puzzle pieces together into something totally unique.
Singapore food is? It is the food that you eat in Singapore. Bak Kut Teh probably came from southern China, and fish head curry from southern India. But today, they're just Singapore.
It is a crazy country that can set your head spin. But of all the things that keep you grounded. You will find coconut onion marmalade on toast in the shadow of skyscrapers and hear the shells of crabs in the alleys of the red light district. Whenever I am and what I do, I always have the feeling that I was in the company of a man who cared deeply about what they eat.
Ready to take that out of the way, get ready to dig in.

The key findings

20120724-singapore-tong-ah-counter.jpg

I will spend the rest of my life eating at hawker centers.
I will briefly answer on what I learned from my trip was realized: the cheapest food I had some of my best, I will spend the rest of my life eating. Hawker centers and f * @ k these people know how to make noodles, you can spend a lifetime trip or foreigners. (Not that I ever thought about it or anything) -eating nothing but noodles for less than $ 5, and feel like you are on top of the world.
If there is anything bind endless array of food it'show Singapore together, they make a humble ingredients to taste. Eggs and fried noodle dish with shrimp stock and lard to taste more vivid and interesting than you think it has any right to shake a spoon out of a plastic box tofu will change your relationship with tofu.
Kind of perfection in simplicity, this can come from a place where eating is a lifestyle unto itself. And where food is judged. Solely by what happens in a fancy restaurant and chef was not necessary.

World of Influence

20120724-singapore-pledge.jpg
An excerpt from the Singapore National Pledge.
Singapore sits at the cultural crossroads of continental food are all crazy. The figure was about 74% Chinese, 13% Malays, Indians 9% and 3% Asian, as one of the richest countries in Asia, it pulled out of workers everywhere and the place has a large population of workers. Immigration to good food to make sure to follow. Singapore feels like New York in this manner only. But it is a towering glass metropolis of wealth; It is also a hotbed for half a dozen or so different ethnic groups making and cooking them over the world.
Some interesting fusion of cultures has become a Peranakan / Nyonya population is the product of marriages between Chinese immigrants and the native of Malaysia, which has created a culture all its own food. India cater to the tastes of Asian food, as much as anything else; Some of the food bears only a passing resemblance to their counterparts of the Indian subcontinent. And that all ingredients into the local cuisine; I mean, centuries-old cultural borrowings and imported brands are added every day.
20120724-singapore-hokkien-mee.jpg
Hokkien mee, China is now Singapore dish unique.
There are plenty of different recipes, but many Chinese are imported directly from their homes and Fujian Teocheow although they have been modified locally over the decades. Still get the feeling that Singapore is unlikely to "go out" for China or India than they would just go out and eat everything in sight. When your whole country is maelstrom of ethnic people from all over, quibbles over strict cultural boundaries or ideas. "Accuracy" feel strange.

K-pop and have a negative influence on teenagers

K-pop has become the trend is not confined to Korea. But spread around the world, especially in Asia. Korean wave that has done its influence on young people, especially teenagers, in some Asian countries, including Vietnam. It can not be denied that in addition to the entertainment, K-pop function as a "cultural bridge" to help improve understanding of Korean culture, Asian culture in general and in particular. But it also has a bad side that affects children and adolescents in a negative way.
The first K-pop pose some serious health problems in young fans. Indeed, people who spend too much time in watching music videos, find information about Idol K-pop often suffer from fatigue as a result of lack of sleep, staying up late and skipping. Meal Addiction some with K-pop so much that they locked themselves in every day, computer screen or TV screen instead of going out with friends, doing extracurricular activities, sports, a healthy body. and their minds
So they may be in a state of debilitating or even have eye disease, memory loss, sooner or later! It is also evidence that teen fans are prone to depression and autism easy. The reason is that they would rather talk about their idols rather than communicate with others or share their own problems. Clearly, teens may experience physical, mental and psychological addiction because K-pop heavy.
Second, K-pop is blamed for the fall in achievement of some teen-age students. This may be because some people are so obsessed with some K-pop girl band, boy band, or that they do not pay attention in class and to listen to music during class.
They are also at home stalking Idol favorite of them over the Internet to waste time on reading material such nonsense about a scandal last year they opened a representative reading homework. or participate in group learning, in other words, they will divert their education. So it should come as no surprise that they have poor performance at school.
Last but not least, K-pop may lead to a lack of social contact and affect the relationship between child and parent. It is clear that hooked most K-pop does not go out as much as they used to. They like to sit "Within the four corners" and enjoy the popular favorite SNSD, Super Junior's new album or their without being annoyed by others, especially their parents. Some fans crazy publicly expressed attitude to violence even terribly insulted parents themselves, who work hard every day to feed them on Facebook, Twitter, blogs or social networks simply because they are fierce complain or not. Earn money to purchase new album. Buy tickets to attend a performance of "I".

As can be seen in the papers recently, it's not hard to find parents who kill their own children, not only because they are. "As bad as that," but mainly because they are frustrated, too.
To conclude K-pop itself is not bad. But its influence is causing concerns for adolescents in particular and society in general. Health problems and poor performance at school has serious consequences. But more importantly, K-pop threatens to destroy relationships between children and parents.

The root of K-Pop: The influence of the greatest acts of today

The root of K-Pop: The influence of the greatest acts of today

It might seem that K-pop phenomenon PSY began single-handedly, but at its core is the "Idol" hit the scene in the 90s.

It may seem to many that PSY began single-handedly phenomenal K-pop that has swept the world with "Gangnam Style" sound and choreography comedic his record-breaking YouTube, notching more than 1.7 billion times since September. in July 2012, and drawing attention at an international level.
But at the core of K-pop, with "Idol." The combination of East and West, their sound was perfectly choreographed to sync and fashion have all helped K-pop dominated the category. More on this billboard will take a closer look at the history of idols.
Group Idols hit the scene in 1990, the phenomenon Idol after the 1992 release of Seo Taiji and Boys, a trio of singers, hip hop / rapper mix songs, American pop with lyrics. Korea Thanks to its ability to meld East and West look Seo Taiji and children who have experienced immense popularity in Korea. Seeing the popularity of them is the chance for the profit of the company rose to a new form of entertainment, music and began building the copy cat.
Seo Taiji and Boys influential in changing popular music, modern Korea's most followers mark the debut of their origin is clear of K-pop after Seo Taiji and Boys for a long time period. Renaissance is a first generation idol group HOT and Sechs Kies like boy bands became incredibly popular and with a large and passionate fandoms very competitive '90s. Idol-style recipes to create successful, it is still common today.
Idol continues to evolve. But their roots remain intact. Group Idols second version of TVXQ! And assumed BEAST charm reminiscent of hot and Sechs Kies even a promotional strategy that has been passed down from generation to generation among the idols. Time and time again the formula for promotion has proven to be the lead single, the hip-hop dance and music followed by fun and idol almost strictly follow this formula.
Idol second generation has borrowed over the top fashion sense made me unique and meticulous choreography of their predecessors. Idol first generation that built the foundation for today's idols. For example, God has fangirls wind wholesome kid next door, they can be compared with the group idol today's 02:00 as the two groups have more interaction with fans and gives off a friendly vibe. This is different from HOT and Sechs Kies, which is all about the sort of snobbery mystery.
Similarly, the opening singles of both the BAP and the hot show roots music like the sound of hip-hop strong with a twist unique BAPs Following the launch of "Warrior" and HOT crash. Hit the "warrior Ascendant" both deal with school violence and both use the "shout" to lead the bridge of the song. Talent highly technical dance is also very similar.
Six members Apink standing out from the girl group the majority of people who have been attracted Skin Show and dancing provocatively their Apink of innocent, charming student resembles a girl group. The first version, such as SES and Fink.l.
Perhaps what is most surprising is the formula that was created twenty years ago by Seo Taiji and Boys and followed with an idol today has not only proven effective. But on the Korean peninsula, but throughout the world as a fashion and music style idol will be constantly evolving to meet today's popular culture, the roots have not grown Seo Taiji management. one that will remain in the company but allowed the newly created branch to grow and reach every corner of the world.
This idol was abroad, concerts from Rio de Janiero to Paris and Los Angeles to Bangkok's fans they will not only Korean speakers - one can search the Internet simple and lyrics. Music K-Pop translated by fans into Arabic, French, Vietnamese and others, while the idol is still pushing the envelope with a new style and sound, it is clear that they continue to be. True to the foundation created by the group Seo Taiji and Boys in 1992, probably never thought to influence their K-pop operation across borders and oceans, 20 years later.

The origin and evolution of Chinese dance

The origin and evolution of Chinese dance

It may come as a surprise to some as semi-divine culture and profound inner meaning of 5,000 years of Chinese history is reflected in many of today's art forms, especially music and dance.
In Chinese culture, dance is a way to not only show. But emotions and personal feelings. But the character of the choreographers through demonstrations by the dancers, expresses his or her realm of thinking. That's why the combination of form and movement technique called body and the inner world of a dancer all affect the internal transfer.





Chinese dance is called classical Chinese dance. Its origins can be traced back to ancient court dances or folk dances from thousands of years ago.
Starting from the Zhou Dynasty, which lasted from 1122-256 BC by up to Five Dynasties period 907-960 AD, the courts have the authority in charge of music and dance, and musicians and dancers have. Trained Staff The agency also organized the research, refined and further developed folk dances, religious dances and dances that take place in other countries, this is how the dance happen.

Tang Dynasty (618 - 907AD) was a peak period for traditional Chinese dance. But war during the Five Dynasties period disturbed social order so much that many famous dances were lost or became incomplete.
After the Song Dynasty (960 - 1279 AD) folk opera replaced pure dance as an art form thriving. Of course, the creation and development of folk opera also inevitably inherited and mixed in many previous art forms. Dance and music from the Sui (581-618 AD) and Tang dynasties became an important component of folk opera.
Although the incorporation of folk dances into folk opera was based on the needs of the opera, certainly accumulated a rich collection of more traditional art. Many relics from ancient times bore images of dancers from various dynasties. These relics showed a clear connection between opera and dance. That is why although opera replaced dance and music as an art form to express the ubiquitous old operas still carried the characteristics of ancient Chinese dances.
In recent years, as qigong gained popularity in China, movements in martial arts became an important source for the development of Chinese classical dance for example Tanzigong (literally means. "The movement of the Tiger") is part of Chinese martial arts. When classic dance choreographers borrowed elements from Tanzigong they incorporated jumps, turns and summersaults into dance.
As traditional gems such as Taiji and sword moves were used in dance their extremely rich repertoire of classical dance. There are also murals of ancient grottos, cave paintings, sculpture, dance and literature have played an important role in the ongoing research and dance classics.




Prior to the May 4th Movement in 1919, dance, classical Chinese have largely been passed down among the common people after the year 1919, some artists believe that they are responsible for documentation systems. Chinese dance is the start of formal teaching of classical Chinese dance. To develop and revive folk dance artists learned from the composition of operas, folk dances and techniques incorporated in the training, ballet and Chinese form of martial art, to create a unique and. Chinese classical dance specials.
The long history and different types of Chinese, providing a variety of dance movement, refinement, style and richness of character. Since Chinese dance was developed through a number of dynasties and social environments that will be able to demonstrate multi-ethnicity, social class and character moments. The composition of any race can be integrated and interpreted by Chinese dance, and fully demonstrated.
This is why in Chinese classical dance has a large capacity of development and growth. The success of the 2007 NTDTV Chinese New Year Spectacular marking which focuses on classical Chinese dance, showed that Chinese dance is positioned to become a major form of artistic expression on the global stage.

    Cambodia Traditional Dance and Performances

    Cambodia Traditional Dance and Performances
    It has been a tradition since the earliest days of tourism in the 19th century to treat visitors to Siem Reap with an ‘Apsara dance performance’

     - a taste of classical Khmer culture. No visit to Cambodia is complete without attending at least one performance. Dinner performances are now the most popular venue - most places offering buffet or set menus combined with a one-hour dance performance.

Yet there have been ruptures in the tradition over the centuries, making it almostimpossible to precisely trace the source of the tradition. Though much modern traditional dance was inspired by Angkorian-era art and themes, the tradition has not been passed unbroken from the age of Angkor.

    Most traditional dances performed today were developed in the 18th through 20th centuries, beginning in earnest with a mid-19th century revival championed by King Ang Duong. Subsequent Kings and other Khmer Royals also strongly supported the arts and dance, most particularly Queen Sisowath Kossamak Nearireach (former King Norodom Sihanouk's mother) in the mid-20th century, who not only fostered a resurgence in the development of Khmer traditional dance, but also helped move it out of the Palace and popularize it.

    Many traditional dances including most Theatrical Folk Dances were developed and refined from the 1940s-60s under the patronage of Queen Kossamak at the Conservatory of Performing Arts and the Royal University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh. Queen Kossamak trained her granddaughter Princess Bopha Devi in traditional dance from early childhood, and she went on to become the face of Khmer traditional dance in the 1950s and 60s both in Cambodia and abroad. Like so much of Cambodian art and culture, traditional dance was almost lost under the brutal repression of the Khmer Rouge in the late 1970s, only to be revived and reconstructed in the 1980s and 90s due, in large part, to the extraordinary efforts of Princess Bopha Devi.



    Classical dance, including the famous 'Apsara dance,' has a grounded, subtle, restrained, yet feather-light, ethereal appearance. Distinct in its ornate costuming, taut posture, arched back and feet, flexed fingers flexed, codified facial expressions, slow, close, deliberate but flowing movements, Classical dance is uniquely Khmer. It presents themes and stories inspired primarily by the Reamker (the Cambodian version of the Indian classic, the Ramayana) and by the Age of Angkor.


    Folk Dance come in two forms: ceremonial and theatrical. As a general rule, only Theatrical Folk Dance is presented in public performances, with Ceremonial Folk Dances reserved for particular rituals, celebrations and holidays. Theatrical Folk Dances such as the popular Good Harvest Dance and the romantic Fishing Dance are usually adaptations of dances found in the countryside or inspired by rural life and practices. Most of the Theatrical Folk Dances were developed at RUFA in Phnom Penh in the 1960s as part of an effort to preserve and perpetuate Khmer culture and arts.


    Shadow theatre comes in two forms: Sbeik Thom (big puppets that are actually panels depicting certain characters from the story) and Sbeik Toot (small articulated puppets). The black leather puppets are held in front of a light source, either in front or behind a screen, creating a shadow or silhouette effect. Sbeik Thom is the more uniquely Cambodian, more formal of the two types, restricting itself to stories from the Reamker. The performance is accompanied by a pin peat orchestra and narration, and the puppeteers are silent, moving the panels with dance-like movements. Sbeik Toot has a far lighter feel, presenting popular stories of heroes, adventures, love and battles, with or without orchestra and with the puppeteers often doing the narration.

    Most dance performances in Siem Reap offer a mixture of Classical and Theatrical Folk dances. A few venues offer Shadow Theater. Many of the dance performances in Siem Reap consist of 4-6 individual dances, often opening with an Apsara Dance, followed by two other Classical dances and two or three Theatrical Folk dances.


    The Apsara Dance is a Classical dance inspired by the apsara carvings and sculptures of Angkor and developed in the late 1940s by Queen Sisowath Kossamak. Her grand daughter andprotégé, Princess Bopha Devi, was the first star of the Apsara Dance.

    The central character of the dance, the apsara Mera, leads her coterie of apsaras through a flower garden where they partake of the beauty of the garden. The movements of the dance are distinctly Classical yet, as the dance was developed for theatrical presentation, it is shorter and a bit more relaxed and flowing than most Classical dances, making it both an excellent example of the movements, manner and spirit of Classical dance and at the same time particularly accessible to a modern audience unaccustomed to the style and stories of Khmer dance-drama.


    Another extremely popular dance included in most traditional dance performances in Siem Reap is the Theatrical Folk Dance known as the 'Fishing Dance.' The Fishing Dance is a playful,  energetic folk dance with a strong, easy-to-follow story line. It was developed in the 1960s at theRoyal University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh and was inspired by the developer's interpretation of idealized and stereotyped aspects aspects of rural life and young love.

    The dance begins...Clad in rural attire, a group of young men and women fish with rattan baskets and scoops, dividing their attention between work and flirtatious glances. Women are portrayed as hardworking, shy, demurring and coy, whereas the young men are strong, unrestrained, roguish and assertive. As the dance continues a couple is separated from the group allowing the flirtations between them to intensify, only to be spoiled by the male character playing a bit too rough, leading to her coy rejection. He pokes and plays trying to win her back, bringing only further rejection. Eventually he gently apologizes on bended knee and after some effort, draws a smile and her attention once again. Just as they move together, the group returns, startling the couple and evoking embarrassment as they both rush to their 'proper' roles once again. The men and women exit at opposite sides of the stage, leaving the couple almost alone, but under pressure of the groups, they separate, leaving in opposite directions, yet with index finger placed to mouth, hint of a secret promise to meet again.

    (In an interesting side note, placing one's index finger to the lips to denote quiet or secrecy is not, generally speaking, a gesture found in Cambodia, but is common in the West. Its employment in the dance probably indicates a certain amount of 'foreign influence' amongst the Cambodian choreographers when the dance was developed in the 1960s.

Several secondary schools are now using co-curricular activities to increase awareness of the importance of preserving Bruneian dance. Teachers say these dancing sessions are growing in popularity for a range of reasons: dancing tells a story, stresses teamwork, which can benefit students in their daily lives, requires discipline, teaches gracefulness, and allows students to mingle.
