MARCH/APRIL 2024 EDITOR'S NOTE

EDITOR'S

NOTE

In a world of fast paced changes and growth, it feels absolutely necessary to keep up with all the advances.

From Smarthomes, as can be read about under the Tech section, to sustainable electric cars which you may

read under Wheels, it surely seems to be the way forward.

That said, as Malaysians celebrate the festive season of Hari Raya Aidilfitri, I personally feel it is imperative that

we find a way to keep tradition alive and well while maintaining close relationships with family and friends.

Our cover story portrays as such the importance of staying close to family and keeping culture alive no

matter the changes around if only to stay true to what means most to each of us individually.

Enjoy lovely festive delicacies at Tropicana Golf & Country Resort during the Ramadhan month or visit any of

the charming restaurants that feature a wide variety of local fare as shown under Savour.

Upon indulging, do check out the Health and Wellness page as Pilates is definitely a trending form of exercise.

From stretching and mobility to holding tense positions and working up a sweat, one will find that bodies

transform with consistency.

We would like to take this opportunity to wish all of our Muslim readers a blessed Ramadhan and a wonderful

Hari Raya while wishing our other esteemed readers a relaxing and fulfilling break.

ARTFULLY CURATED

CULINARY EXPERIENCE

Cooking with Style

Welcome to the world of "Cooking with Style," at Twenty7 Restaurant in Tropicana Golf & Country

Resort, where the art of preparing food goes beyond the basic necessities. It's about infusing passion,

creativity, and a touch of elegance into every dish. Here, the kitchen is not just a place to cook; it's

a canvas for culinary expression where every recipe is an opportunity to unleash creativity. From

ingredient selection to plating techniques, each step is a chance to elevate the dining experience.

From top left: Plating up a plate

a good, clean serve; The delicate

task of ensuring that each serving

is of equal amounts before serving

Proper portioning is essential to ensure that each diner receives a fair and uniformed amount

when served. Consistent portion control is important in maintaining quality and meeting customer

expectations. Serving is also about timing. The food should be served at the right temperature and

ideally brought to the table promptly after preparation to ensure optimal taste and texture.

Plating or food presentation, is indeed an essential aspect of the culinary arts and part of the practise

at Twenty7 Restaurant. The visual appeal of a dish is a crucial element in creating a memorable

dining experience.

The way a dish looks is the first thing diners notice. A well-presented plate can create a positive first

impression, making the dining experience more enjoyable. Food decoration allows chefs to showcase

their creativity and skills. It's a form of artistic expression that goes beyond the taste of the food and

definitely part of the experience at Twenty 7 Restaurant at Tropicana Golf & Country Resort.

NEW YEAR EVE

CELEBRATION

Tropicana Golf & Country Resort certainly held a party to remember when ringing

in the New Year. The ballroom was transformed into a dazzling time capsule of

the 70s casting reflections of shimmering light across the hall.

The heart of the celebration was the dance floor where a live band played an

electrifying mix of disco, funk and soul tunes. Guests, dressed in their finest

70s-inspired attire, hit the dance floor to showcase their best dance moves, from

the hustle to the disco finger-point.

Vibrant decor with that 70s

retro feel set the tone for the

New Year's Eve Party; Guests

rocked up in theme rocking

their best Woodstock looks;

Delicious local sweet treats

that was served on the night

After a sumptuous dinner, the true culinary highlight of the evening was the New

Year's Eve celebration dinner table which was adorned with a tempting array of

desserts. Not just a feast for the tastebuds but also a visual spectacle, this touch

of elegance certainly added decadence and a sweet finale to to the night.

MARCH/APRIL 2024 SOJOURN

CHERRY BLOSSOM

SEASON AROUND

THE WORLD

Here are some alternative destinations

to visit for the fleetingly beautiful

cherry blossom season

Mention cherry blossom season and immediately one will think of Japan but, did you

know there are other countries who have this sweet and delicate flower in full bloom

too? Here are 5 countries to visit for cherry blossom season.

TROPICANA MAGAZINE

39

Parc de Sceaux, France

About nine and half kilometres south of Paris are

two seperate cherry tree orchards. One, with all pink

blossomed trees and the other with 150 all white

blossomed trees. Late April is when one may expect the

flowers to be in full bloom so a day trip there is a must.

Don’t forget to bring your recording device of choice.

Longwangtang Cherry Blossom Park, China

Located in the small port city of Dalian, the blossoms here bloom

usually around late April. With the oldest of China’s cherry blossom

trees dating back to the WWII era, these delicate wonders were

planted during the Japanese occupation of China between 1937 to

1945. The area isn’t much to look at but come blooming season and

the dam is lined with beautiful pink and white blooms.

Jerte Valley, Spain

Spain’s Jerte Valley is covered in some two million all white cherry

blossom trees. While in full bloom, the hilly area looks like it has been

covered in a thick blanket of snow making for a wondrous sight outside

of the city. A sort of magic fills the air in this faux-winter wonderland so

do check it out around the middle of March.

Amsterdamse Bos, Netherlands

Take a stroll with family and friends in early April through

Amsterdamse Bos park when it hosts its’ annual cherry blossom

festival. Four hundred cherry blossom trees were gifted by the

Japan’s Women Club in the year 2000 to celebrate each year of ties

between the two countries. Their dedicated section of the park is

found in Kersenbloesempark and it is the only cherry blossom park

where the trees were individually named. Two hundred have female

Japanese names while the other two hundred trees were given

female Dutch names.

Brooklyn Botanic Garden, New York

The Brookly Botanic Garden throws an annual cherry blossom festival

called Sakura Matsuri usually during the last weekend of April. If it is

impossible to make it during that time, fret not as the Botanic Garden

is home to 42 species of cherry blossoms and each take turns to

bloom between late-March to mid-May. And even if that time frame

does not work out, the Botanic Gardens is a must-see no matter the

time of year except for winter. It is also wildly famous for their vibrant

tulips in Spring.

MARCH/APRIL 2024 SWING TOOLS

FROM TWEED

TO TRENDY

Get ready to swing into the fabulous world

of golf fashion, where style meets the greens

in a game of sartorial flair

In the 15th century, it was about

battling the cool with thick

tweed and plaid fabrics with

knickerbockers and flat caps.

In the 20th century, it was about

the single-breasted jackets,

waistcoats, and long socks.

Then in the 1930s and 40s,

golfers donned flannel trousers,

embracing a more casual style – a

trend that stuck around!

In the late 90s and

early noughties,

golfers wore polo

shirts, two-tone

golf shoes, visors,

and sun hats have

become staples on

the fairway.

These days, thanks to

modern technology,

golf clothes are

comfortable,

breathable, and

designed for peak

performance such as

the Tour TaylorMade

collection which is

exclusively available at

MST Golf Stores.

7 Mile Beach, Hobart, Australia

PGA Tour professional Mathew Goggin envisioned a

golfing haven in the local area he grew up in, specifically

within the Seven Mile Beach Peninsula's undulating sand

dunes. When architect Michael Clayton provided his

expert advise giving the land area a big thumbs up for

development, Goggin crafted an affordable, world-class

course that now welcomes the public. This golfing gem

seamlessly integrates with the natural terrain, advocating

walking and shared enjoyment with beachgoers, horse

riders, and walkers alike, transcending the conventional

golfing experience. This endeavor has brought to life

Goggin's dream, shaping the Seven Mile Beach Peninsula

into a vibrant sanctuary catering to golf enthusiasts and

nature lovers alike, where the allure of the game converges

harmoniously with the beauty of the natural surroundings.

MARCH/APRIL 2024 TROPICANA JOURNEY CLUB

Chhun On Golf Resort, Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Recently debuted in January is the first of two 18-

hole layouts from architect Brian Curley. Located at

this growing golf facility near the center of the capital

city of Cambodia, Curley says the East course will

adopt a more classic design, with formal bunkering,

while the West course, set to open in 2025, will have

a more natural and craggy appearance. Nestled within

a floodplain, the property underwent excavation

to create five lakes, providing the essential fill dirt

required to elevate the terrain for the golf courses. The

inaugural course will feature a distinctive par-three

island green 19th hole, accessible solely by boat.

Erbil Hill, Kurdistan, Iraq

Niece of renowned architect Pete Dye – Cynthia

Dye, has taken on the role of designing Iraq's only

golf course. The first nine holes are set to make their

debut in late spring or early summer, with the full 18

holes expected to be open for play by the end of the

year. This real-estate-oriented project encompasses

not only the golf course but also includes a hotel

and various shops. With the completion of Erbil Hills,

Iraq will join the ranks of golf-playing nations as the

208th out of 249 countries and territories worldwide.

Notably, Iraq had a few golf courses, featuring both

sand and grass, in the past, but they were forced to

close during the Gulf War.

The Legacy Club at Diamante, Cabo San Lucas,

Mexico

Tiger Woods's latest venture at Diamante, home to the

PGA Tour event hosted on his El Cardonal course, is The

Legacy Club. This exclusive retreat, available only to

invited members, is set to open in the fall of 2024. The

upcoming course is strategically positioned in a bowllike

terrain, offering natural protection from the winds

prevalent on the Baja Peninsula. It promises to transport

golfers from the arid desert landscape to a verdant oasis

adorned with lush vegetation and panoramic views of

the nearby Pacific Ocean.

Stone Highland Golf & Resort, Hanoi, Vietnam

Vietnam stands out globally as the epicenter of golf development

outside the United States, with numerous course projects either in

the planning stages or actively under construction. Nestled on a

mountainous expanse just north of Hanoi, the Stone Highland Golf

& Resort is a sprawling 36-hole undertaking. The first 18 holes were

inaugurated at the close of 2023, and the project is set to reveal an

additional nine holes in late 2024. Both courses, crafted by Brian

Curley, are situated on a breathtaking landscape elevated above flat

rice fields, featuring steep mountain slopes and rocky terrains. While

the upcoming second course exhibits a slightly less rugged topography

than its predecessor, it still offers captivating elevated views of the

surrounding area.

ON

THE

WORLD

STAGE

Here is a list of Malaysian

designers who have

made it big globally

More than dressing up the Malaysian who’s who, local fashion designers have a collection of

remarkable creations and avant-garde talents that truly have put our country on the map. From

ready-to-wear to haute couture, dazzling gowns to traditional garments, here are some of our

favourites creating waves on the international realm.

Rizman Ruzaini

Rizman Ruzaini showcased what 18 years of experience in creating breathtaking fashion looks like

when they presented their Spring Summer 2024 collection on the last day of Dubai Fashion Week

in October last year. Consisting of 60 delicately designed and intricately made demi-couture

pieces, the collection was donned by beautiful models from around the world, including Malaysia’s

own favourites - Tinie and Deedee Nash. The show climaxed as world renowned supermodel

Naomi Campbell took to the runway with her signature walk, wearing an intricately exquisite

handmade gown featuring thousands of gemstones, much to the amazement of the audience. As

the designers Rizman Nordin and Ruzaini Jamil took their bow, hand-in-hand with Ms. Campbell,

the show venue in the Dubai Design District ruptured into a roaring applause closing a week of

celebrating fashion and creativity.

Farah Khan

Farah Khan’s namesake label is known for its’ bright, funky

and modern, ready-to-wear designs that are meant for

sophisticated women on the go. The vision for the outifts

created was so that it can fit effortlessly into your suitcase

only to be unpacked without a crease and is easily hung up

to be worn later. Taking inspiration from her own sense of

style that is chic and stylish, any creation from this label

could be worn for parties and even big events such as

weddings and galas. Another outstanding feature of this

brand is that each design created is named after a famous

person. So one may request to wear the Anna Kournikova,

Kimora Lee Simmons, Maria Sharapova, Paris Hilton and

Rashida Jones, all of whom, have been spotted wearing

Farah Khan dresses to major events.

Khoon Hooi

Fashion designer Khoon Hooi, who hails from Perak,

launched his own label in 1999, 6 years after graduating

from the Malaysian Institute of Art. In those 6 years, he

spent his time honing his fashion skills in competitions

where he eventually cinched his first award as runner-up

for the Malaysian Young Designer Award in 1996. From

then to now, Khoon Hooi’s talents and reach has grown

further and further. A-lister chart-topping American

singer Katy Perry adorned a gorgeous soft yellow creation

during a Jingle Ball concert in Minnesota. The singer was

particularly drawn to the embellished gown from its Spring

2020 collection as it featured a giant bow. Hollywood

actresses Karen Pittman and Ginnifer Goodwin were also

decked out in Khoon Hooi’s extravagant gowns for the

Golden Globes.

Who could ever forget the luxurious, glittery, tiered

wedding dress from the highly iconic wedding scene in

Hollywood’s ‘Crazy Rich Asians’? Conceptualized by the

movie’s costume designer Mary E Vogt, Malaysian couturier

- Carven Ong helped bring the legendary wedding gown

to life. He also created the bride-to-be’s golden jumpsuit

in the bachelorette party scenes. Ong also designed the

national costume for Miss Universe Malaysia - Shweta

Sekhon, showcasing a bold, winged costume inspired by

Peranakan culture.

Bernard Chandran

Bernard Chandran graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in

Fine Arts from The Paris American Academy. He was the

first non-European (and first Malaysian) designer to win

the “Open European Contest for Look of the Year 2000”

in 1991. Recently having celebrated 30 years in the fashion

industry, Chandran is quite rightly crowned as Malaysia’s

“King of Fashion,” as his dresses have been seen on a few

Hollywood superstars such as singers Estelle, Lady Gaga,

and even our own LA-based Malaysian sweetheart - actress

Michelle Yeoh. Chandran was also the head judge on 8TV

channel’s 2007 installment of Project Runway Malaysia, and

a guest judge in Britain’s Next Top Model, Cycle 6.

TIMELESS

ELEGANCE

Rachel Wong inspires tradition

with a contemporary vision with

Monica Quen

In the heart of Malaysia's bustling fashion scene, Monica Quen stands as a testament

to the enduring charm of oriental fashion. Established in 2000 by the visionary Monica

Ong herself, the brand has evolved into a beacon of timeless elegance, seamlessly

blending traditional cheongsam aesthetics with modern comfort. Now, under the

guidance of Managing Director and her own daughter - Rachel Wong, Monica Quen

continues to redefine oriental fashion for the 21st century.

The roots of Monica Quen trace back to the creative vision of Monica Ong, a distinguished

alumna of the renowned Saint Martin's School of Arts in the UK. Her journey began in

the late '70s, designing for local boutiques before transitioning into the cut, make, and

tailor (CMT) industry, creating exquisite pieces for elite departmental stores. Ong's

inspiration stemmed from her belief that incorporating oriental styles into our modern

lives could be both aesthetically pleasing and culturally enriching.

Under Wong’s leadership, she shares that initially, she felt her path was with animals.

With a degree to be a veterinary technician and a detour into game development,

Rachel brings a fresh perspective to Monica Quen. As the Managing Director, she

infuses her passion for tradition with modern sensibilities, echoing Monica's original

vision. Wong's transition into the fashion industry was a natural progression and she

had always held an interest upon watching her mother since her childhood.

Monica Quen's mission is clear: to bring the charm and elegance of oriental fashion

into the modern world. The brand envisions a future where the beauty of cheongsams

transcend cultural boundaries. Their focus lies in fabric quality, comfort, practicality,

and continually modernizing designs to meet the dynamic needs of the market.

The designing process at Monica Quen is a year-round endeavor, with special

attention given to Chinese New Year designs. Custom-made clothing, including bridal

cheongsams the everyday qipao, showcase the brand's commitment to personalized

elegance. Wong did divulge that stretch cotton cheongsams in the rare loose fitting

silhouette, are also part of the collection making it an easy option for daily wear.

The brand's latest collection features silk and netting

fabrics, tailored for the Malaysian climate. Embracing

the trend of "old money style" and "quiet luxury" for

2024, Monica Quen combines classic aesthetics with a

commitment to cultural influence.

“Monica Quen currently holds three flagship stores

located in Tropicana Gardens Mall, 3 Damansara Mall,

and Straits Quay Marina Mall (Penang)” said Wong.

With departmental counters in Parkson Pavilion KL and

Mid Valley Megamall, the brand strategically positions

itself to cater to a diverse and discerning clientele.

The dynamic between Ong and Wong is symbiotic.

While Wong oversees day-to-day operations, leasing,

and sourcing, Ong remains deeply involved in the

creative process, personally traveling to China to source

materials.

Monica Quen has garnered a loyal following beyond

Malaysia, with audiences in Singapore and Australia.

The brand differentiates itself by offering an affordable

range crafted from quality materials, ensuring that even

daily wear cheongsams exude comfort and style.

In a succinct description, Wong defines Monica Quen as

evergreen, contemporary, and comfortable – capturing

the essence of a brand that seamlessly merges tradition

with the demands of the modern world. As Monica Quen

continues to weave its narrative of timeless elegance,

it invites fashion enthusiasts to embrace the allure of

oriental fashion in the present day.

Placing a strong emphasis on core muscles, an engaged

core helps improve stability, balance, and overall

strength. This is essential for better posture and reduced

risk of back pain.

Flexibility Enhancement

Involving a variety of dynamic stretches and movements,

regular practice promotes increased flexibility, making daily

activities easier and reducing the risk of injuries.

Mind-Body Connection

Pilates emphasizes the mind-body connection, focusing on

precision and control in each movement. Practitioners often

report increased body awareness and mindfulness.

Stress Reduction

The controlled breathing techniques incorporated can help

reduce stress. The rhythmic and flowing movements contribute

to a sense of relaxation while deep, controlled breathing

improves lung capacity, promoting overall respiratory health.

Full-Body Workout

Engaging multiple muscle groups simultaneously, pilates

provides a comprehensive workout that targets both large

and small muscle groups, promoting overall strength and

endurance.

Low-Impact Exercise

Gentle on the joints, this makes it suitable for individuals of

all ages and fitness levels. The low-impact nature reduces

the risk of injury compared to more high-impact exercises.

Injury Rehabilitation

Pilates is often used as part of rehabilitation programs. Its

low-impact nature makes it a suitable option for individuals

recovering from injuries or surgeries.

Versatility

The exercises can be adapted to various fitness levels and

modified for specific needs or limitations. The versatility of

Pilates makes it accessible to a wide range of individuals with

BOUNTY

OF

FRESHNESS


cultivates sustainable living through its’

organic farm-to-table revolution

TROPICANA MAGAZINE

103

In the heart of Tropicana Golf & Country Resort (Tropicana), a green oasis was born in June

2019 - an organic farm with a mission. Initiated by the visionary owners and management of

Tropicana, this farm doesn't just grow fruits, vegetables, and herbs; it nurtures a commitment

to renewable environmental consciousness.

Tropicana organic farm boasts an impressive variety of produce, showcasing the richness of

Mother Nature's palette. From dragon fruit, papaya, and banana to choy sum, kangkung, and

an array of herbs like lemongrass and coriander, the farm embraces a diverse and vibrant

collection. It's not just about sustenance; it's about cultivating a connection with the land.

104

MARCH/APRIL 2024 NATURE

The farm-to-table initiative is more than a culinary trend; it's

a commitment to sustainability and a healthier lifestyle. By

using natural waste from the environment to create pesticidefree

crops, Tropicana ensures that the food on your plate is

not just delicious but also safe from harmful chemicals. The

significance of locally sourced ingredients cannot be overstated,

guaranteeing freshness and contributing to the overall wellbeing

of the community.

The farm-to-table process is meticulous. Ingredients are ordered

through the procurement department, and sourcing depends on

the availability of the daily harvest. From the farm, the produce is

freshly picked and swiftly transported to the kitchen. This ensures

that every dish served embodies the essence of freshness.

One standout initiative is the innovative recycling of farm

waste into compost, serving as organic fertilizer. This ingenious

practice not only promotes sustainability but also tackles the

issue of food waste head-on. By nurturing the soil with natural

compost, Tropicana closes the loop in its commitment to

environmental stewardship.

Not keeping this organic bounty to itself; this effort extends

its reach to the local community. Excess produce is made

available to club members and Tropicana Resort residents on

a weekly basis, all at reasonable market prices. This community

partnership not only supports local living but also encourages

a shared commitment to sustainable practices.

In every sprout, every leaf, and every fruit, Tropicana's organic

farm is sowing the seeds of a greener, healthier future. It's not

just a farm; it's a living testament to the power of conscious

living, where the journey from seed to plate embodies the ethos

of sustainability and a harmonious coexistence with nature.

that off with the Mutton Karahi, a delicious spicy and creamy mutton dish that

will have you salivating for days.

If you wish to pace yourself a little, start light with the Ikan Siakap Kukus

Cili Limau which is a zesty steamed fish soaked in a lime, lemongrass and

garlic sauce and garnished with cherry tomatoes and Thai birds eye chili.

Also try the Ayam Bakar Danok which is chicken marinated in onions,

coriander, Thai birds eye chili and garlic. Light but the flavours definitely

pack a punch.

Lets not forget our greens and a truly Malaysian mastery of a dish, try the

boiled okra topped with a dried prawn chili. Oh-so-simple, the crunchy

greens with the fragrant spice atop is divine and a true pleasure for any

palate. Staples such as Nasi Lemak Pandan and Japanese Noodle Miso Soup

can be expected on the menu too.

Make sure to not skimp and to end the night on a sweet note. Local traditional

Malay kuih will be served and these goodies are typically coconut milk based

making it rich and creamy. There is also Tapai Pulut which is glutinous rice that

is traditionally fermented in rubber tree leaves.

The Selera Muhibbah buffet costs RM128++ per person but If you book

by 5 March 2024, you only pay RM118++ per person. For reservations, call

While a traditional Johor dish, what makes laksa in Johor

different is the use of spaghetti noodles as it is told that

Sultan Abu Bakar instructed his royal chefs to use pasta

instead of the traditional rice noodles. That said, laksa is

all about the broth and laksa Johor is unique because it is

served with a thick gravy that is made from ground chili,

spices, coconut milk and fish.

Asam pedas is what your mouth will be watering for when

headed back to Melaka. A balanced combination of sour

and spicy notes, this signature dish is a favourite among

the Peranakan community. The broth is made with tamarind

juice and a range of spices with fresh water fish as the main

ingredient that is usually simmered with a variety of greens

such as okra, aubergine and long beans.

116


The only known rival to the ever

popular nasi lemak is Terengganu’s

nasi dagang. Frequently selling out

by 10am, the nasi dagang, which

translates to “trader’s rice”, is an

addictive combination of fragrant rice

and sticky rice and is typically served

with gulai ikan tongkol, an aromatic

fish curry with a rich texture and acar

timun, a pickled cucumber, carrot and

onion salad.

Those who hail from Kelantan have a

lighter variety of a rice meal with nasi

kerabu. The word “kerabu” means

salad which is an apt name for this

dish as it is usually served with an

assortment of fresh herbs and raw

vegetables. Topped over blue-coloured

rice, a result from cooking with

butterfly pea flowers, the meal is tied

together with coconut, fish relish and

sambal.

After indulging in some spicy

tongue tickling dishes from

the best way and that is with

ice-cream.

Hailing from Singapore and

beginning from a tiny shop

started Udders Ice Cream.

Armed with a mission to create

drool-worthy flavours for

discerning palates, all the ice

creams are noted to be less

heavy on sugar and cream,

but with only the best natural

ingredients.

Apart from the usual repertoire

of chocolate, vanilla and

strawberry, Udders Ice Cream
