MAY/JUNE 2024 EDITOR'S NOTE
EDITOR'S NOTE
How speedily the year is going by. Already
mid-way through and I’m certain most of us
are reflecting and pondering if the first half
of the year saw us achieve the goals’ we had
set for ourselves. Did we get the job? Did we
succeed in closing those deals? Did we get
promoted? But, could we perhaps change
the narrative and switch up the goalpost?
Did we go on that trip? When was my last
health check? Have I spent enough time
with family and friends?
Speaking of family, with Mother’s Day and
Father’s Day celebrated in the months of
May and June, we paid tribute to familial
values and the impact parents can have
in our lives. Our Cover Story is not of one,
not of two but of Dato’ Wong Keong Fook
and Datin Kok Yoke Sim of Unique Seafood
and their kids. We explore their rich history
in transforming the world of local Chinese
seafood dining in Kuala Lumpur and if they
will hand over the reins to their kids.
We have curated some sections that focus
on family. Do read Lifehacks and Sojourn
for popular family holiday destinations
and tips for when traveling with kids. To
celebrate these special occasions, do treat
your mum and dad with the beautiful
jewellery and timepieces featured in Jewels
and Chronometer and take them out for a
wonderful seafood meal at Atlantic Seafood
Restaurant in Tropicana Golf & Country
Resort which can be read about in Savour+.
Not forgetting those who wish to begin
their journey as parents, do read up about
TMC Fertility and their various services
available at Thomson Hospital in our Health
and Wellness section. Catch up on property
news and read up about Avisa Residences
in Tropicana Alam under Space as it is a
development perfect for young families
wishing to expand and grow.
With World Environment Day in June,
our Nature page features recycling hubs
located all across the Klang Valley. From
e-waste to regular recyclables, these
recycling centres are certainly building
traction and are the way forward.
With plenty more to read, it is always my
pleasure curating the pages of Tropicana
Magazine with a great variety of fun and
up-to-date topics in hopes of inspiring and
bringing a wealth of information to all.
Have a wonderful read!

Unique Seafood Group of
Restaurants to find out
what sets them apart
In the bustling heart of Kuala Lumpur, where the aroma of fresh seafood
mingles with the city's vibrant energy, lies a culinary empire built on
passion, dedication and a commitment to excellence. Celebrating 24
years of culinary mastery, Unique Seafood Group stands as a testament
to the vision and perseverance of its founders, Datuk Wong Keong Fook
and Datin Kok Yoke Sim.
The journey of Unique Seafood Group began with humble origins.
Datuk Wong and Datin Kok, hailing from Ipoh, embarked on their
entrepreneurial venture armed with little more than a shared dream
and a determination to succeed. Arriving in Kuala Lumpur with their
newborn baby, they initially entered the seafood industry as suppliers to
hotels and restaurants. However, their ambition soon led them down a
path of innovation and distinction.
Indeed, what sets Unique Seafood apart is not only the quality of its
offerings but also its commitment to innovation. As Datuk Wong
explains, "We realized early on that there was a gap in the market and
that to succeed in the competitive restaurant industry, we needed to
differentiate ourselves. That's why we made the bold decision to import
exotic seafood, such as sturgeon from China and Alaskan crab, becoming
pioneers in the Malaysian market."

We wanted to make

thought they could
The first Unique Seafood restaurant, nestled along
Jalan Imbi, faced initial challenges before relocating
to Petaling Jaya, where it flourished. Guided by a
philosophy of offering unparalleled quality at reasonable
prices, Unique Seafood quickly gained a loyal following.
The decision to name the restaurant "Unique" was
deliberate, reflecting the diverse array of seafood on
offer and the commitment to excellence that defines
the brand.
"When we named our restaurant 'Unique,' we wanted
to convey the message that our restaurant was truly
one-of-a-kind," explains Datuk Wong. "We wanted to
make people curious about our menu and invite them to
experience something they never thought they could."
Over the years, Unique Seafood Group has expanded
its culinary footprint, now boasting four distinct
establishments. From the elegance of Atlantic
Seafood Restaurant to the familial warmth of Pantai
Seafood Restaurant, each venue offers a unique dining
experience tailored to its patrons. The main branch –
Unique Seafood PJ23 – caters to the working crowd,
handling annual dinners for companies in a more casual
setting. The Elite Grand Ballroom, on the other hand,
offers a banquet-style experience ideal for hosting large
company dinners and weddings. Across all locations, the
grand stand of aquariums, brimming with live seafood,
remains a star attraction, inviting guests to select the
freshest ingredients for their meal.

the most compelling aspect of Unique Seafood Group's story is
the family behind the business. With five children in tow, Datuk
Wong and Datin Kok have instilled in them a passion for the
culinary arts and a commitment to excellence.
The next generation of the Wong family stands poised to
carry forward the legacy of Unique Seafood Group. Eldest son
Ken oversees the supply chain and food production, ensuring

Daughter Charlotte, with her background in interior design, has
ventured into her own enterprise while leaving her mark on the
aesthetic appeal of the restaurants.
Yet, it is Abby and Alex Wong who have embraced their roles
within the family business with fervour and determination.
With Atlantic Seafood Restaurant under their stewardship,
they embody the spirit of innovation and adaptation that has
defined Unique Seafood's success. Abby's focus on sales and
marketing complements Alex's expertise in operations, forming
a dynamic duo poised to lead the company into the future.
"Our parents have always been our guiding light," reflects
Alex Wong, Operations Director of Unique Seafood Group.
"They've taught us the value of hard work, perseverance, and
above all, family."
For Abby Wong, Sales & Marketing Director of Unique Seafood
Group, the journey has been one of profound personal
growth and fulfillment. "Following in my parents' footsteps
and becoming an F&B Restaurateur has been one of the best
decisions of my life," she shares. "It's allowed me to pursue
my passion for business development and marketing while
honouring my family's legacy."
As they look ahead, they envision a future where Unique Seafood
continues to thrive, expanding its reach while maintaining its
commitment to quality and service. Their parents' retirement
dreams are within reach, thanks to the foundation laid and the
vision of those yet to come.
"In the years ahead, I see Alex and I continuing to expand and
innovate, always striving to uphold the standards of quality and
service that define Unique Seafood," says Abby. "Our parents
have worked tirelessly to build this legacy, and it's our privilege
and responsibility to carry it forward."
In the bustling metropolis of Kuala Lumpur, amidst the swirl
of flavours and the clink of glasses, Unique Seafood Group
stands as a beacon of culinary excellence—a testament to the

Kardashian-Jenner
matriarch and manager
– Kris Jenner, is certainly
a force to be reckoned
with making the once
notorious family,
America’s true royalty
The Kardashian-Jenner family, more known as “The Kardashians”, don’t need an introduction.
The family, best known for their longest running reality television show - Keeping Up with the
Kardashians, which ran for 14 years between 2007 and 2021, now boast two members of the
Billionaire club with the rest achieving success in their own realms of business. That said, it is no
secret as to the driving force behind the Kardashian-Jenner empire and that is the self-coined
“Momager” herself - Kris Jenner.
Kris has been a lifelong resident of Southern California, calling Los Angeles home since 1976.
She married attorney Robert Kardashian in 1978 only to divorce in 1991 where Kris wed former
Olympian Bruce Jenner (now Caitlyn Jenner) the same year. Robert Kardashian died in 2003
after battling cancer. Already a prominent figure in the Los Angeles social scene, Kris carved her
path as a self-made woman. The start to her career saw humble beginnings but armed with her
expertise in networking and knack for nurturing relationships, coupled with business acumen
honed since her teenage years, Kris seemed destined to be a crowned head from the outset.
74
MAY/JUNE 2024 TRAILBLAZER
Kris orchestrates the careers of her six children - Kourtney, Kim,
Khloé, and Rob Kardashian; alongside Kendall and Kylie Jenner—and
oversees their diverse array of businesses, totalling a dozen. Among
these ventures, standouts include the highly successful Skims, Kim's
shapewear line, valued at US$4 billion with US$750 million in sales in
2023, and Kylie Cosmetics, a makeup brand that saw Kylie sell a 51%
stake for US$600 million at the age of 23 back in 2020. In addition to
managing her children's endeavours, Kris operates her own production
company and serves as the executive producer of the family's hit series,
“The Kardashians”, now in its fourth season on Hulu, following the highly
successful “Keeping Up With the Kardashians”.

TROPICANA MAGAZINE

Prior to delving into the management of her children's
highly successful lives, Kris honed her skills by managing
her former spouse, Caitlyn Jenner who gained prominence
with a victorious performance at the Olympic decathlon
event in Quebec, Canada, in 1976. Consequently, numerous
speaking engagements, often coordinated by Kris, became
a pivotal avenue for Caitlyn's public presence.
Kris sprang into action upon Kendall expressing her desire
to pursue a modelling career witnessing her genuine
dedication. Celebrated for her adeptness at capitalizing on
opportunities to enhance her family's financial standing,
Kris facilitated Kendall's entry into the modelling industry
by forging connections with esteemed agencies. By 2018,
Kendall Jenner had ascended to the pinnacle of the
modelling world, earning the title of the highest-paid model
globally, with an estimated income of US$22.5 million, as
recognized by Forbes.
In addition to overseeing Kim's burgeoning empire, which
now encompasses Kim Kardashian West Beauty and Kylie
Jenner’s lucratively established beauty brand, Kris's other
daughters have flourished in the business domain as well.
With what commenced with Smooch and Dash stores
evolved into full-fledged clothing lines, shoe collections,
home décor ranges, fragrances, and handbag lines, with
the sisters actively involved in the design process. Khloe
Kardashian spearheads Good American, a clothing line
tailored for women and Kourtney is the brains behind
Poosh. Forbes estimated that Kris Jenner pocketed at least
US$100,000 from each episode of “Keeping Up With the
Kardashians” in 2020, in addition to her customary 10%
management fee from her children's endeavours. Coupled
with her stakes in various businesses, an autobiography,
and a cookbook, Kris's net worth soared to approximately
US$190 million. When asked about orchestrating these
deals, Kris Jenner acknowledged, "I used to be a one-man
show, but then I realized, you know, it takes a village."
In addition to their multifaceted enterprises, the Kardashian
sisters leverage social media to generate substantial
income. Kris revealed her daughter are constantly receiving
offers to promote companies or brands on social media and
have so set fees for posts, stories, and various platforms.
When queried about the top earners, Kris noted that Kylie
and Kim command higher prices due to their immense
social media presence.
As the mommy-mogul turns 70 next year, she reveals that
her bucket list isn’t as extraordinary as some may believe
as staying healthy and living a long and able life is what
matters to her most. Reflecting upon her growth in The
Golden State as an individual and as a mom who truly
put her family on the map, she concluded sharing, “It’s
a personal journey. You have to be driven and have the
motivation, inspiration and desire to be successful. If you
can dream it, you can do it”.
Forbes estimated that Kris Jenner pocketed at least US$100,000 from

LONG HAUL
ESSENTIALS
Here is a list of parenting hacks to help
when road-tripping with the little ones
Lets be honest. Traveling with kids is not a vacation for
parents. The same needs will still need to be met but
in a different location and sans the comforts of home.
The best way to make it through unscathed is purely
through being well organized. Here are a few hacks
that may help.
Plan outfits in advance: Save time and headspace by
picking out your child’s outfits before the trip. Keep the
outfits together by putting them in separate Ziplock
bags. After use, it can go back into the same Ziplock
bag and kept separate from fresh clothing.
Phone number bracelets: This is more for safety
especially if headed to a highly populated destination
over the holidays. Use numbered and decorative beads
to create a fun yet practical bracelet with your name
and phone number for your child to wear. Should you
get separated, someone will be able to contact you.
78
MAY/JUNE 2024 TIPS
Cover your car seat with sheets: Keeping your car
clean is pivotal to avoid additional unforeseen cleanup
before, during or after a roadtrip. Put old sheets over
the seats of your car to catch crumbs and prevent spills
from ruining your car.
Bring an activity book: There are tons of free printables
online. Just print, laminate and put the printables in
sheet protectors and give the kids dry erase markers.
They will be entertained for ages while giving you
peace as you drive.
First Aid Kit: Don’t rely on other people having a first
kit available. Build or get your own before you leave,
in case of emergency. Include bandages, antibiotic
ointment, and Tylenol.
Make a travel itinerary: Print out pictures of fun things
that you’ll be doing on your trip as well as things you’ll
be seeing on your drive. Turn them into a little book for
your kids to look through to keep them excited during
your road trip.
Bring a travel tray: Travel trays will help when the kids
need a snack or a solid flat surface for when they want
to colour while you’re on the road.

Freeze juice boxes: Instead of using a cooler filled with ice
to keep food and drinks at the right temperature, try freezing
juice boxes instead. It will keep everything cool, and your kids
can drink them after they thaw.
Goodie Bags: Before pushing off, pack individual goodie bags
catered to each kid with their favourite toys, snacks, and other
fun items. Pull one out if your kids get a little restless during
the trip and watch them light up.
Use a sewing kit to organize snacks: Kids get hungry all
the time. Ensure they are eating a better selection of snacks
when you’re on the road, by using a clean sewing kit to hold
a variety of snacks.

they know the importance of having a good
head of hair on one’s shoulders
In today's fast-paced world, where stress and pollution often

scalp with their specialized treatment. By deeply cleansing

scalp care therapy effectively unclogs these follicles, allowing
your hair to breathe and flourish.

HMD Global, home of Nokia
Smartphones, is expanding and
will be launching its own brand of
smartphones. Watch this space

Nokia owned Finnish company - HMD Global, best known for
producing Nokia-branded smartphones, has announced plans
to release its own line of mobile devices. The announcement
was made on LinkedIn by HMD Global CEO Jean-Francois
Baril stating that the company will be broadening its range
of mobile devices with a new HMD brand smartphone that is
intended to co-exist alongside its Nokia phones.
Having had the exclusive position of being the home of Nokia
phones for the last six years, it was declared that it seemed the
next logical step to enter the market to produce and launch on
their own independently. A force focused on redesigning a new
world of telecommunications, HMD has shared very openly that
it will be purely based on the customer’s experience and needs.
Details regarding the new HMD products, including a
potential release date, remain undisclosed. Efforts to obtain
further information from HMD Global are underway, and
should be announced soon.
HMD Global is a company that was formed after Microsoft
relinquished its rights to the Nokia brand in 2016. Foxconn,
Taiwanese technological group, then took over Microsoft’s
feature phone business. Founder of Foxconn - Terry Gou,
is the main owner of HMD Global and so, Nokia-branded
devices are currently produced by Foxconn making it highly
likely that any HMD-branded products in the pipeline will
also be manufactured by the tech giant.
Nokia-branded phones like the Nokia C32 released by HMD
have largely sat in the budget-to-mid-tier category so far,
and it looks like future HMD-branded devices may follow suit.
The company will continue to design for a more sustainable
and affordable future without compromising on quality. Even
if Foxconn is behind the actual manufacturing of these new
devices, HMD Global, one of the largest smartphone companies
in Europe, is still largely run by former Nokia executives making
this an opportunity for the company to reclaim some of the
brand’s legacy under a new name.

Walking through large glass sliding doors, you will be greeted by the
star attraction of the restaurant and that is the Aquarium, strategically
located facing the main entrance across the restaurant. Featuring a
spectrum of tanks of varying sizes, it is almost like walking through a
commercial aquarium. On view are live fish, prawns, lobsters, crabs,
clams and abalone flown in from all around the world. There is a wide
range of local fish and prawns available on the menu too. Diners can
make their choice from the selection of live fish and seafood here to
be prepared to their liking by the Master Chefs.

of restaurants in that location when it suddenly come to
him that maybe we could operate a seafood restaurant
in the club as he believed the seafood business is gaining

of the members and guests”. Abby added that, that was
when her parents, the Founders of Unique Seafood - Datuk
Wong Keong Fook and Datin Kok Yoke Sim entered into a
partnership with Tan Sri and the rest, is as they say, history.
The other sight to behold in the restaurant is the chandelier that
hangs above the center court of the restaurant. Many little chrome
fish hang down from the blue strip lights in a wave pattern casting
a beautiful array of fish shaped shadows on the floor and on the
tables while the ceiling mimics the sea. The rest of the restaurant
is elegant and zen with a modern minimalist fit out and light wood
paneling accented with chrome and gold fish placed on the walls
as hanging art.
I was warmly welcomed by one of the four directors of the restaurant
– Abby Wong Mun Yee, who handles the Sales & Marketing for

of which are fitted with KTV facilities and are available for the

And now, it is onto my favourite part and that is the food review.
With seven dishes to sample from, I am keen to see how the food
matches up to its’ beautiful and impressive interior. The first dish
served was oysters and being a superior Chinese seafood restaurant,
it was not served raw but baked. One would be hard pressed to
find good “French style Cheese baked Canadian oysters” and it was
to my utter delight to chance upon them here at Atlantic Seafood
Restaurant. Using Canadian oysters, the size of the shellfish wasn’t
too large nor small seeming the perfect size for a single bite. Served
hot, the cheese is soft and stringy without being too liquid and had
that perfect burnt crust on top. The shell was warm to the touch,
easy enough to be picked up after a few minutes allowing the
cheese to fuse with the oyster, lending more flavour. With a flick
of the fork separating the oyster from its shell, it is easily lifted and
eaten. Not too milky nor sea-like in flavour, the soft mouthful of
oyster paired seamlessly with the chewy cheese and was certainly
a heavenly teaser indicating the party my palate was to embark on
during this food review.
The next appetizer to follow was the “Peking duck”. Roasted to
perfection, its’ skin was so glossy and shiny that it was almost
reflective. Served alongside it were sliced cucumber fingers, strings
of green onion, sweet bean paste and thin pancake sheets. The duck,
presented whole was then sliced off the bone and presented again
118
MAY/JUNE 2024 TASTE+
later on a platter in perfect bite sized portions of duck meat with
crispy thin skin atop. Requiring assembly, Peking duck parcels are
usually put together with a light thin smearing of the sweet bean
sauce across the thin pancake. The cucumber fingers and green
onion slices are then placed in the middle. Finally, a piece or two
of the duck is placed on top of the vegetables and wrapped up
revealing a neat little package ready to be eaten. A quick bite of
the wrap and it is immediately a sensory and textural delight.
The soft pancake envelopes the crunchy cucumber and green
onion while the chewy duck meat and crispy skin are heady with
the scent of the meat. The sweet bean paste brings all the senses
together creating an unrivalled match of flavours.
Visually tantalizing, the ‘Steamed King Grouper fish in slices with soy
sauce and beancurd’ was a burst of colour and fragrance. Placed in
position from head-to-tail on a bed of green onions and beancurd
soaked in soy sauce, the body of the fish was deconstructed as the
fish was sliced into sheets thin enough to eat but thick enough to
hold its shape. The silvery skin of the fish was soft and glistened as
it was placed on the table. Sampling this Cantonese seafood dinner
main course, the meat of the steamed fish was taut and firm while
remaining soft and possessed a clean flavour profile. The soy sauce
lent a sweet saltiness to it while the sharp spice from the green
onion cut through the “heavier” flavours of this delightfully light
dish making is a harmonious symphony with every bite.
TROPICANA MAGAZINE
119
The “Steamed tiger prawns with minced garlic and vermicelli”
was the first shellfish dish to arrive. The prawns were lined
neatly in a row atop the vermicelli while a fragrant layer of garlic
gravy was drizzled heavily across the center on top. Juicy and
plump, the steamed tiger prawns were a treat to de-shell and
eat indicating true freshness. The garlic sauce dripped down
and drenched the vermicelli allowing every bite to be a savoury
delight without being too heavy on the palate.
It knew it was time to get a little more hands-on when the
“Indonesian meat crab in ‘Atlantic’ chili sauce with mantou buns”
was served. It was brought out as was two whole crabs, carefully
sectioned and placed back together giving the illusion that the
crabs were whole. Visually pleasing as it arrived swimming in
steaming hot and spicy chili gravy, its’ fragrance was intoxicating
and bewildering at the same time. Two sets of buns, also
known as ‘mantou’ buns, were placed beside the crabs. One of
a steamed variety and the other fried, the bread had the sole
purpose of being dunked into the gravy to soak up it up and then
eaten allowing the diner to enjoy the full experience of the gravy.
Of course, I digress. The shell of the head of the crab peeled off
easily revealing the body and claws and fragments of crab meat.
With the help of a nutcracker, the harder shell of the crab claw
was cracked open revealing the best mouthful of crabmeat. A
swift dribble of the chili gravy over it and the dish peaked with a
burst of flavours! The spicy, sweet and tangy sensations paired
flawlessly with the savoury crabmeat indicating freshness and a
true mastery of marrying flavours.
My eyes widened when the “Braised Boston lobster with e-fu
noodles” was brought out next. It isn’t every day I get to indulge
in a great seafood lunch and one that had Boston lobster on
the menu! The noodles glistened and it was easy to notice that
it was cooked to perfection. Not overly soft nor undercooked,
each noodle was lightly coated with gravy. A large lobster tail
that was halved was placed like a crown above the noodles
creating what was truly a majestic sight. Managing to slice
through the lobster, I took half a tail while already anticipating
the other half and quickly swirled my fork in the noodles taking
a bite sized amount to start. The e-fu noodles, that is typically
made from egg and wheat flour, was a slurpy, savoury thrill.
Its’ flavour was so distinct and heady with a seafood broth
base that I was hooked. Looking to the lobster, I released the
meat from its shell and cut it down to bite size. It was juicy and
firm and soaked up the thick broth base that remained from
the noodles. Truly the piece-de-resistance for me, my seafood
review culminated with this mouthful as the lobster meat was
soft and chewy and fragrant with flavour.
Nothing like a great big serving of greens to cleanse the palate
and it was certainly a delight to see that the staple to every
Chinese meal – the Hong Kong Kailan, was served in not one,
but two ways. Famously known as “Hong Kong Kailan in two
varieties”, I was familiar with the first style which was the
garlic stir fried version of the vegetable but it was the second
variety that was truly a wonder. Small, light and crispy, it was
the leaves of the vegetable and it was lightly fried to a crisp
without compromising its fresh green hue. Adding texture to
any bite, it was a great and welcomed addition to the meal.
The garlic stir fry was flavourful and crunchy and it was indeed
so fresh and delicious. Being sourced from Tropicana Golf &
Country Resort’s organic farm, it was pleasing to know that
ingredients are direct from farm-to-table and that efforts to be
sustainable were in play too.

fact that there is a lot more love out there”, said Lim of the
