MAY/JUNE 2021 EDITOR'S NOTE

EDITOR'S NOTE

THE ART OF DINING

If there’s one thing that many of us have in

common is our love for food. Eating is one

of life’s greatest pleasures. It's not just

about filling up our tummies but also

appreciating the many different flavours

that make up our favourite food. Rewarding

ourselves with our best-loved delights or

having them when in great company can be

an enjoyable experience.

At Tropicana Gardens Mall, you’ll never be

short of finding places to eat as the mall is

home to a diverse mix of F&B outlets. Find

out more about some of them in the Savour

section. If you’re into authentic Japanese

cuisine, you’ve got to visit Ra-men Bankara

at the mall. Its Managing Director, Aaron Lee

who is on our cover says “Ra-Men Bankara

serves the same quality and flavour in every

bowl of ramen, as one would come to expect

if one was dining in Japan.”

And, at the Tropicana Golf & Country Resort

(“TGCR”) you’ll be spoilt for choice as there’s

a variety of restaurants there. Check out

some of the mouth-watering dishes that can

be had at TGCR in the Savour+ section.

A good read too is on the coveted 4S

(Strategic, Spectacular, Superior, Smart)

that make Tropicana Grandhill and Tropicana

Cenang worthy investments. Not forgetting,

check out stories on our schools, food

plating, greens to boost immunity, and

electric cars among many others, plus a

spread of bird photos by Imran Amir, a

special needs boy with an extraordinary

talent for photography.

TROPICANA MAGAZINE

Nine students of St Joseph’s

Institution International School

Malaysia (Tropicana PJ Campus)

achieved the perfect score of

45 points, the full marks, in

the International Baccalaureate

Diploma Programme, which they

had sat for in April this year.

Apparently, this is truly a feat

because normally schools in

Malaysia would only have one

or two students getting the

highest grade of 45 points. Not

only that, the average score by

students at the school was 43

points, which is way above the

provisional 2021 average score

worldwide of 33 points. Here,

the students share with us the

secrets of their success.

effort to engender holistic

development throughout all

curriculums. By resourcefully

using every advantage and

opportunity it has to grow

students, SJIIM pushes

students to achieve a diverse

and compelling range of

success. I truly enjoyed the

rigorous yet stimulating nature

of teaching, which aided

me to lucidly understand

complicated concepts rather

“When you set foot in SJIIM,

you may be impressed by its

gem of the school lies in the

teaching faculty. Each teacher

is patient, considerate,

critical yet helpful, and

capable in bestowing upon

their students a desire to

learn, a passion to enquire

and a heart to serve. These

qualities have been imbued

upon myself throughout my

taught me the knowledge

PARALYSED SCHOLAR GIFTED A FREE HOME BY

PROPERTYGURU & TROPICANA

WITH THE HELP OF OVER

130,000 MALAYSIANS

TROPICANA MAGAZINE

A paralysed scholar’s dream of owning a home came true

on 27 July 2021 when he was gifted with a freehold, fullyfurnished

home at Tropicana Metropark, Subang Jaya thanks

to PropertyGuru, and Tropicana Corporation Berhad, an awardwinning

Top 10 Developer in Malaysia as well as over 130,000

Malaysians who voted to change his life.

As a person living with physical limitations, Dr Basri bin Husin’s

dream of having his own space was more than a simple desire.

Wheelchair-bound and limited by his partial paralysis, he finds

his independence constantly hindered by his body’s limitations,

but constantly pushes past his obstacles without fail. Through his

moving story about his search for a home that suits him and his

family’s needs, the 39-year-old touched the hearts of the many

Malaysians, who came together and took action in voting for him

as most deserving to own the unit worth over RM600,000.

Due to his experience of living in an unsanitary neighbourhood,

which resulted in his waist down paralysis, Dr Basri was

determined to ensure his family would never again have to be

at such a risk. Pushing his personal afflictions aside, Dr Basri

dove back into his PhD studies in Universiti Malaya with renewed

vigour, knowing that completing his higher education would only

result in better career opportunities that can help him support

his family and bring him a step closer to his homeownership

aspiration. This life milestone that he has been working tirelessly

towards has been achieved much earlier with the help of

Malaysians nationwide.

Dr Basri shared, “It warms my heart to see so many Malaysians

come together to support me in the PropertyGuru Home

Giveaway initiative. My wife and I are currently renting a Rumah

Malaysia unit (formerly known as People’s Housing Project or PPR

home) for our family of four with two young children. My salary as

a research assistant and her earnings from her part-time work all

go towards our rental and daily expenses. We never thought we

would be able to own a brand-new home in such a prime location.

Our lives have changed forever, and we are forever thankful for

everyone who has helped play a part in supporting us.”

49

Knowing her husband’s desire of having a space that enables

his independence, Dr Basri’s wife nominated him for the

PropertyGuru Home Giveaway initiative, as she realised that

Tropicana Metropark has what he wants and needs. The serviced

residences are in a mature location that has easy accessibility

and connectivity that would not only encourage Dr Basri’s

independence but also provide a good living environment for

their family with a 9.2-acre urban park ideal for their children

to play in. Following the nomination, and along with four other

finalists, Dr Basri was then shortlisted among 1,000 entries. His

story received the greatest number of votes from Malaysians who

wanted to play a part in helping him own his first home.


TROPICANA TO ACHIEVE

100% VACCINATION GOAL

50

In its aim to flatten the Covid-19 curve, property

developer Tropicana Corporation Berhad

(“Tropicana”) pledged its support to the

Government of Malaysia by offering its Tropicana

Gardens Mall Convention Centre as one of the

five large vaccination centres (“PPV”) to host the

Program Vaksin Selangor (“SelVax”). Heeding the

call for Covid-19 herd immunity as a viable step

towards national economic recovery, Tropicana

also aims to provide vaccinations to its workforce

via SelVax. Employees of the Group that have

not been vaccinated or did not secure an

appointment through the MySejahtera app will be

signed up for this program.

Jared Ethan Ang, Group Executive Director of

Tropicana thanked the Government for such a

good initiative and is optimistic that with this

vaccination in place, the country’s wellness and

economic sector will be re-energised. “Since the

start of the pandemic, Tropicana has shown its

strong support to various initiatives to combat

the spread of Covid-19, whilst observing

strict SOP regulations. Through our Tropicana

Foundation arm, we have donated medical

equipment, medical beds, wheelchairs, food,

and essential items as well as circulated our

Tropicana care packs to our employees and

the community at large. We also responded

swiftly by offering our Tropicana Gardens

Mall as one of the large PPV centres to host

SelVax. To ensure Tropicana is a conducive

and safe place to live, work and prosper, we

are providing Covid-19 vaccinations across

our Tropicana ecosystem. All Tropicana

workforces (Tropicana HQ, Tropicana Gardens

Mall, Tropicana Golf & Country Resort, W

KL Hotel, Courtyard by Marriott Hotel, and

Property Management) that have not been

vaccinated will be signed up for this program.

With this vaccination in place, we are certain

that our Tropicana community will once again

be revitalised and safe for all," Jared shared.

Tropicana cares deeply

for the safety and wellbeing

of its employees

and its community

at large. A 100% fully

vaccinated workforce will

certainly provide a safe

and conducive place for

Tropicana employees as

well as the community to

SEPT/OCT 2021 COVER STORY

AARON LEE’S

LOVE FOR

66

RAMEN

Even though he had a hectic schedule while

studying in Japan, Aaron Lee took the

time to explore the country, which led him

to discover Ra-Men Bankara, a renowned

ramen restaurant with its fourth local outlet

at Tropicana Gardens Mall.

TROPICANA MAGAZINE

67

SEPT/OCT 2021 COVER STORY

“I love everything!” exclaims Aaron Lee, the

Managing Director of Ra-men Bankara Malaysia,

when asked about his favourite dish at the Japanese

eatery. “That’s why I am prosperous-looking” he

adds, laughingly. On a serious note, Aaron stresses

that if a dish is not good, it will never be on the

menu. “Ra-men Bankara” he says “was founded by

Mr Kusano, a second generation ramen specialist

with his ancestors being ramen specialists dating

back to the 1950s.”

68

Aaron discovered Ra-men Bankara between 2007

and 2008 when he was studying in Japan under the

Japanese government’s Young Leaders Programme.

“Aside from the frantic studies I had a great time

exploring Japan. Having lived in Tokyo, Ra-men

Bankara was one of the regular ramen joints that

I would frequent” he recalls. Aaron adds that

the ramen dishes are exceptionally good, which

probably explains why it is called Ra-Men Bankara.

“Bankara” is an old Japanese colloquial term once

used to describe an individual’s inimitable style.

“Ra-men Bankara first opened its doors in Kuala

Lumpur in 2014. All recipes, taste and serving

portions adhere exactly to what is served in Japan.

We import about 70 percent of all food items used

for our food preparation from Japan” says the

41-year-old.

Over the years, it has managed to build a loyal

following, particularly Japanese residing in Malaysia

and well-travelled Malaysians who have visited or

resided in Japan and expect nothing less. “I can

proudly say we are the benchmark in Malaysia for

the most authentic Japanese ramen restaurant”

Aaron notes. Despite having regular customers, the

Covid-19 pandemic has affected his business.”To

date, we have to undertake salary cuts to ensure

we save all our employees’ livelihoods, adjusted

operations to fit with the new normal, adopted and

aggressively market ramen take-away.

“We are thankful for the support from our customers

Japanese ramen styles namely Bankara Signature,

Tonkotsu ramen, Miso ramen, and Tsukemen.

Each ramen style is defined by the soup and

accompanying noodles of varying thickness and

texture.

TROPICANA GARDENS MALL in Kota Damansara,

Selangor is where you can find Ra-men Bankara’s

fourth outlet in the country. Two other outlets

are in Kuala Lumpur and another in Johor Bahru.

“Every Ra-Men Bankara location is chosen based on

the customer demographic in the area. Tropicana

Gardens Mall is surrounded by a neighbourhood

comprising the affluent as well as young families.

Many are well-travelled and appreciate authenticity.

“The mall markets itself as a family-oriented mall

and as such our outlet here is designed with

families in mind. We are located on the concourse

floor and it is about 1,500 square feet in size, with

an interior detailed with traditional Japanese

wood carvings.” Apart from the mall’s impressive

size, with one million square feet of retail space,

Aaron also gives the thumbs up to Tropicana

Gardens Mall Convention Centre for being one

of the five large vaccination centres (“PPV”) to

host the Program Vaksin Selangor (“SelVax”)

since 1 July in support of the Government’s efforts

to make the National Covid-19 Immunisation

Programme (“PICK”) a success.

It’s one of those rare restaurants that not only serves refined

cuisine but offers awe-inspiring ambience and views, which will

make your dining experience unforgettable. Welcome to Grotta

Palazzese that sits on the rocky shores of Puglia, Italy.

TROPICANA MAGAZINE

75

A magical and enchanting place for you to visit after the borders are lifted is a restaurant with a terrace created

inside a natural cave in Polignano a Mare, in Puglia, Italy. The Grotta Palazzese restaurant takes its name from

the homonymous cave and from the place that was once also called “Grotta di Palazzo”. It is an exclusive and

atmospheric spot, used for parties and banquets since 1700, as evidenced by a watercolour artwork dated 1783

by Jean Louis Desprez. The blue of the sea and the sky contrasts with the mysterious atmospheres of the natural

cavities. The colours of the day make the beauty of the coastal landscape shine, while those of the evening, at

sunset, create unforgettable nuances, in the charm and elegance of the restaurant lights.

Eating is an experience that does not only involve the

talking about food plating or the process of food decoration

to elevate its presentation.

SEPT/OCT 2021 DIY

78

Other than tasting good, the mark of a divine

dish is the way it is presented. An attractive

plate of food will undoubtedly arouse the

appetite and make the meal more enjoyable.

And, the chef would surely score extra points

for creativity.

“A commendable presentation will make

the food fabulous, even if it’s a simple dish”

explains Chef Zaihari Zainol, the Executive

Chef at Tropicana Golf & Country Resort

(“TGCR”) in charge of Twenty7 Restaurant,

The Palm Coffee House and Spring Garden

Restaurant. Food plating isn’t difficult

because you can choose to have your own

style based on your artistic vision.

“You can use anything from micro leaves

and vegetables to edible flowers to decorate

a dish” he says, adding that the use of thin

crackers can also be aesthetically pleasing.

Among food plating tips include creating

height on the plate by decorating from the

bottom up, playing with colours by way of

using colourful ingredients like carrots, purple

cabbage, or blue pea flower, and playing with

textures such as using sauces by swirling

them on parts of the plate.

Beautiful examples of food plating can

be seen here (see photos) from TGCR’s

Spring Garden Chinese Restaurant, and

Twenty7 Restaurant. Spring Garden Chinese

Restaurant’s fried egg white with milk,

abalone and mushroom sauce is prettified

with edible flowers. The Chicken Schnitzel

from Twenty7 Restaurant, available in

and a stylish slick of mustard.

RIDING THE

ELECTRIC

WAVE

The future of automobile is

electric. Electric cars aren’t only

better for the environment but

they also come in some of the most

stylish designs you can imagine.

Looking like they were made for the movies, many electric

cars today come in the most sleek and attractive designs

that they easily steal the spotlight from other vehicles on

the road. The most eye-catching has to be the Porsche

Taycan Turbo S. With a fluid yet sharp silhouette, its rear

design boasts a seamless light strip and Porsche logo

made of three-dimensional letters. Its interior is equally

impressive. The GT multifunction sports steering wheel

and the deep, sporty seating position heighten your

anticipation of the journey ahead long before you set off.

101

Then there is the Tesla Model 3. While it has an

aerodynamic design, safety is the most important part of

its overall design. The metal structure is a combination of

aluminum and steel for maximum strength in every area. In

a roof-crush test, Model 3 resisted four times its own mass,

even with an all-glass roof - that’s the same weight as two

full-grown African elephants!

JULY/AUG SEPT/OCT 2021 WHEELS

102

The inside is unlike any other car. You can use your smartphone

as a key and access all driver controls in the central 15-inch

touchscreen. The all-glass roof extends from front to back

creating a sense of openness from every seat. Another electric

stunner is the BMW i4. Its aerodynamically-optimised silhouette

is an extension of the classic BMW Coupe proportions - a long

wheelbase with short overhangs and a flowing roofline define its

sporty, elegant lines. A full-fledged five-seater, it offers space for

up to three people in the rear. Generous headroom and legroom

ensure seating comfort for all.

Modern, stylish and functional is the New MINI Electric, which

features a refreshed appearance without compromising on

heritage. It has new front bumpers that does away with fog

lights and now includes integrated air curtains for improved

aerodynamics. A new body-colour safety bar rests on the front

bumper, while a black surround now accentuates the hexagonal

shape of the vehicle’s radiator grille.

and verdant, it is no surprise why Tropicana Golf &

Country Resort (“TGCR”) in Petaling Jaya is an oasis

of calm and home to unique species of flora and

fauna. The variety of birds that frolic freely at the

TGCR has caught the attention of 14-year-old Imran

Amir, a special needs boy with an extraordinary

talent for photography.

“I started photographing birds at TGCR last year

when the pandemic began. The calls and colours of

the birds made me decide to take photos of them” he

explains, adding that so far, he has taken shots of 116

species of birds. Imran says it’s an easy job because

he can see and hear them easily. “When an Oriental

Honey Buzzard landed on my neighbour’s roof at

Jalan TR 2/1, I was so excited.

112

It’s a migratory species that is common to the

Tropicana area and yet it travels long distances from

Siberia all the way to Indonesia! I got a snapshot of it

looking at me and that gave me an amazing feeling.”

His favourite spot for taking bird photos is at a lake

near the golf course at Jalan 8/2 where you can

find the Brahminy Kite, Osprey, Painted Stork, and

Crested Serpent Eagle among others. “There is also

a very friendly local white duck (Mallard) that will

come to you if you feed it,” adds Imran, who has a

collection of books on birds.

Impressed by the well-maintained green space at

TGCR, he notes that the bio-diversity of an area

directly points to a healthy environment and to some

extent, its inhabitants. In fact, Imran says some bird

species such as the Rufous Woodpecker, Sunda

Pygmy Woodpecker and Striated Heron as well as a

flock of Asian Glossy Starlings have nesting grounds

within the TGCR.

ADOPT,

DON’T SHOP

Striving to curb negligence towards

stray animals as well as control the

stray population, My Pets Haven

is a place for you to rescue needy

animals from neglect and abuse,

and give it a forever home.

Photo by Alvan Nee on Unsplash

My Pets Haven is exactly what

its name suggests; a haven for

animals rescued off the streets.

Located in Setia Alam, Shah

Alam, it serves as a temporary

shelter for the rescued animals

until they get adopted. One of

the centre’s objectives is that it

strongly advocates adopting, not

shopping for a pet so that stray

animals living on the streets can

be rehabilitated and rehomed.

These strays need our help

more than ever especially since

the Covid-19 pandemic began.

According to reports, Persatuan

Haiwan Terbiar Malaysia stated

that the number of stray animals

in the country has increased

by 70% due to the current

unprecedented situation.

114

My Pets Haven even provides

medical treatment to the rescued

animals if need be to make sure

that they are in the pink of health

before they leave for their forever

homes. All the rescue work is

carried out independently and

funded by donations from the

public as well as the personal

savings of the centre’s founder,

Aileen Lee Sor Geok. To pay

for the rent of the centre, My Pets

Haven provides services such

as grooming, boarding, and pet

food sales.

For details, kindly email

lovemypetshaven@gmail.com or

visit the centre at No.11-1, Jalan

Setia Prima, S U13/S Setia Alam,

40170 Shah Alam, Selangor

AMP UP YOUR

IMMUNITY WITH

PURPLE

PUMKIE

Leading a healthy lifestyle isn’t the only thing needed to

boost the immune system. Eating well is crucial too and

at Purple Pumkie, you can get healthy, organically-grown,

and nutritious greens to strengthen your body’s defenses.

120

Established in 2020, Purple Pumkie Organic Farm most likely has the best and

healthiest produce thanks to its location - 900 metres above sea level in Gohtong

Jaya, Genting Highlands where the temperature is between 18°C and 32°C.

Better still, the vegetables are grown without the use of chemical pesticides and

fungicides, while clean water sourced from the nearby jungle is used for irrigation.

The farm’s unusual and catchy name takes inspiration from purple-coloured

vegetables, which contain anthocyanins (potent anti-oxidants) that can help

protect and heal cells from damage, and reduce the risk of contracting cancer,

diabetes, and cardiovascular and neurological diseases. Among the many types

of produce Purple Pumkie grows, which support and strengthen the immune

system include purple cabbage, sweet pointed cabbage, Italian lettuce, Japanese

cucumber, broccoli, cauliflower, cherry tomato, tomato, and brinjal.

Purple Pumkie welcomes keen

partners or distributors, in its

aim to work together to reduce

waste throughout the entire

supply chain. Please write to

sales@purplepumpkie.com or

TROPICANA MAGAZINE

“I didn’t know there was such a cool organic store near

me!” This is what Justlife staff members often hear

from walk-in customers when they give them a tour of

the shop. From organic produce, artisanal sourdough

breads, handcrafted tofu and tempeh, traditionallybrewed

soy sauce, organic aromatherapy and beauty

items, 100% compostable feminine care to oceanfriendly

household cleaning products, Justlife has it all.

Justlife believes that everyone can play a part in taking

care of the planet, simply by doing something that

most of us love - shopping!

Snail invasion Fifteen years ago when organic farming

was still unpopular in Malaysia, one of their organic

farmers discovered his crops were destroyed overnight

as a result of a snail invasion. Without pesticides, it

was a real struggle. Over time, he realised that the

snails came and left their shells behind. Only later did

he find out that this was a sign that his soil was greatly

deprived of minerals. Supporting organic goes beyond

providing clean food on our plates, it’s a choice we

can make to respect the relationship between people,

animals and the earth. Beyond the organic labels, every

product has a story

Local & artisanal Local produce come to us fresher,

tastier and more nutritious. Eating local brings us back

in connection to the seasons of our homeland, and our

ancestors’ wisdom on sustainable diet.

Earth-friendly diet Most people care deeply about

environmental changes such as climate change,

disappearing rainforests or wildlife but have never

thought that diet could be part of the reason. Justlife is

proud to be vegetarian, dairy- free and animal-friendly.

123

Direct & fair trade Imagine every time you purchase a

pack of organically-grown rice, you are supporting the

community and families in rural areas to provide better

living standards and job opportunities.
