Ginger at Parkroyal on Beach Road has launched a limited-time-only “Flavours of Taiwan” menu, inspired by the night market eats that have put Taiwan on the global food map. 

From now till Oct 31, the restaurant’s nightly buffet will include a range of dishes created in collaboration with chef Alan Ho, president of the Taiwan Chefs Association. (The regular lineup will also be available, so you can still get the usual fare of sashimi, pasta and the like.)

If that bag you picked up a few seasons ago is starting to look boring, chances are it is. Realistically, few are ever truly adventurous when it comes to fashion; all too often, those nagging — though usually arbitrary — thoughts about appropriateness and re-wearability hinder us from being bolder about the things we wear and carry. 

We all have different reasons for purchasing a timepiece. For some, it may be the narrative attached to it — whether rooted in heritage, technical innovation, or an association with a notable personality. Rolex embodies all these qualities and more, especially in the Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master II, which has a fascinating history attached to it.

It is often said that sustainability starts at home — and where better to begin than right at the heart of the house? 

Kitchen appliances typically consume the most power and water in today’s homes. Inefficiencies exacerbate the issue, using additional electricity to produce heat that is simply not needed. 

For property veterans Jerry Tan and Eckardt Caius, luxury living lies not in having the fanciest furniture, the newest knick-knacks or the most lavish lighting. Instead, it is all about creating a home that can stand the test of time, one that strikes a balance between classic aesthetics and modern comforts, all underpinned by a focus on the needs of its occupants.
