SGVCCA Newsletter It’s been a few months since we have sent out communication to our FALL 2011 membership. Much has happened since Chinese New Year. Important Dates In our last newsletter we wrote about tradition. We discussed how we are August 2011 losing some of our heritage and traditions that have been passed down from generation to generation. We encouraged our membership to cherish 3 – Board Meeting those traditions and continue to share their wealth of knowledge with their September 2011 families and friends. 7 – Board Meeting This month, we would like to write about progress or change. 17 – Chinese School The definition of progress as a verb is, Registration 1: to move forward: proceed 17 – Annual August Moon Festival 2: to develop to a higher, better, or more advanced stage. October 2011 Our association was established 43 years ago and has been passed on from generation to generation with much tradition. Whenever we discuss 1– First Day of Chinese the direction of our association, we are always met with the words, School 5 – Board Meeting “historically we have……” When it comes to tradition, those are positive 15 – Parent/Teacher words to use, but, when it comes to progress, they become a handicap. We Meeting want our association to advance, to move forward. Inside this Edition When we started our Presidency in 2008, we had lofty ideas and goals. p. 2 Membership There were 2 issues at hand.

On the other Groups hand, the school has been running in red ink for as long as we can p. 8 Chinese Foods remember. p. 10 Cultural p. 11 Housewares We would like to turn that around and have decided to target new markets. p. 12 Destination China p. 13 Membership Form We are still pursuing the starting of the “Parent & Me” class for preschool age families. We are still in search of a suitable instructor. Just a handful of us have taken on the task of doing the search. This association belongs to all of us. It should be the responsibility of all its members to contribute to the effort of the survival of our association. We are asking for the membership’s support in finding that teacher. We are also asking that all of you encourage your friends and family to join. If each member family invites one more family to join in the coming year, our membership will have doubled. President’s Message (cont.) Even more opportunities abound. As we begin a new fiscal year, we have welcomed in a new board but we have new opportunities for those who would like to be more involved with our association. Several groups have been formed to help steer the board and association. If you are interested in joining one of these groups, please don’t hesitate to contact either 2011-2012 SGVCCA Margaret or Henry Leong. We welcome new faces and new ideas.

    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

  • Welcome to Maiden Shanghai, Our Gourmet Chinese Restaurant in the Heart of Dubai
    Welcome to Maiden Shanghai, our gourmet Chinese restaurant in the heart of Dubai. I discovered my passion for cooking while traveling around China. The difference in flavour from one region to another was astonishing. While Cantonese food is characterised by its light seasoning and slightly sweet flavours, Beijing is salty with a rich taste. In Shanghai, the proximity to the Yangtze River influences local dishes while hot and spicy food is typically found in Sichuan. Much like its namesake Shanghai became a melting pot of cultural influences from around the world in the 1920’s and 30’s, Maiden Shanghai’s menu is a fusion of different Chinese flavours. Our brasserie style menu is based on recipes passed down from generation to generation with a contemporary twist. We proudly only use organic poultry, free-range eggs and all food is MSG-free. It is a pleasure to welcome you to try these unique flavours. Chef Bing Luo @MaidenShanghaiDubai #MaidenShanghaiDubai Signature Dishes 茄汁燴帝王蟹 Bing’s organic Peking duck (S) King crab meat in chilli and tomato sauce (S) Inspired by the roasted duck served worldwide and a firm favourite A reinterpretation of Singapore’s most popular dish, created by Chef Bing throughout Chef Bing’s childhood. in his home town.

A Day in the Life of Daoist Monk 1 ADELINE HERROU Abstract This article seeks to give an ethnographical description of the everyday life of an ordinary Daoist monk in China today. As it follows Yang Zhixiang from early morning until night, it deals with his current main occupations—in this case, work on the glyphomancical dissection of the Dao 道 character, fate calculation for young fiancés, preparation for a healing ritual, the ascetic practice of self­ perfecting through refinement, etc. — as well as more basic scenes such as meals, gestures and postures, various domestic tasks, and the reconstruction of the temple. It also relates fragments of his own past life and implicitly outlines the path that led him to the monastery and the vocation that made him become a monk.
