Sauntering off to Hongqiao – the closer end, only three stops on Line 2 from Jing’an Temple – we went in search of what we thought was Japan Town. While the area does house many izakaya eateries, a Japanese mall and the country’s consulate, what we learned was this area was excellent for street food from a variety of Asian countries. We came, we ate, we waddled our way around the neighborhood…

The halcyon days of Shanghai’s 1920s and ‘30s are en vogue with an explosion of Great Gatsby-themed parties, speakeasy-style bars and homemade flapper costumes. In their new books, Andrew Field and Spencer Dodington delve deep into this period, immortalizing two underexplored figures that left an indelible mark on the city: writer Mu Shiying and architect Paul Veysseyre.

Let's talk about sex... Changing Chinese attitudes towards boudoir affairs

istorically, the Chinese have viewed the world in du- alistic terms of yin 阴 and yang 阳, striving to achieve balance between the two opposing forces. In Taoist H teachings, it was thought that by engaging in sex, men and women received energy lacking in their own bodies, thus maintaining equilibrium vital for a long and healthy life. With such importance placed on copulation, ideology used to take center stage whenever lovemaking was discussed, and rules were strict. Manuals – despite racy illustrations – were far from erotica, but used more as a how-to guide. Strict rules on sexual behavior were more burdensome to women. In addition to instructions on position and timing, a premium was placed on virginity. Women in ancient China were required to maintain chastity before marriage, as they were in many other cultures. Any extramarital affair was illegal and would have been punished in verbal and physical ways. When the Communist party came into power, the Middle Kingdom was swept by a new sort of sexual suppression, as for- nication without the goal of copulation was considered a form of Western spiritual pollution and androgyny reigned supreme. Today, much has changed, and yet the sexual landscape remains complex; a mix of opening up and the stolid hand of conservative Chinese ideals. According to a 2012 survey by Xiaokang Magazine, more than 71 percent of Chinese have had premarital sex – an increase of 30 percent since 1994. On the other hand, Richard Burger, author of Behind the Red Door, writes that every year, thousands of women have surgery to have their hymen replaced for around RMB4,400,

Held in Shanghai last month, the three-day event is currently the largest of its kind in China, having sur- passed Guangzhou National Sex Culture Festival (take that you Cantonese prudes). And it was an impressive showcase of one of the country’s fastest-growing industries, with 216 exhibitors covering the 12,000 square meters of the International Exhibition Center and more than 30,000 people in attendance. The numbers aren’t surprising: from vibrators to plastic vaginas, China supplies 70 percent of all the world’s adult toys. While a large proportion of that is exported abroad, an increasing slice of the erotic-toy output is purchased domestically. As of 2010, the industry was worth a whopping USD2 billion a year. In Shanghai alone, there are more than 3,000 sex shops and around 200,000 nationwide. The commercial opportunities are undeni- able, and so is demand.

ander Ang loves chicken rice. So deep does this passion run, that he refuses to delegate any step of the cooking process to his chefs at Five Star, choosing instead to wake up every X morning before the sun to start the labor-intensive process himself. In the dawn light, the Singaporean chef-owner dips the birds into alternating baths of boiling water and ice – three times each – to seal

You aren’t the only one though, as you’ll discover when you join the hungry queue of Shanghai foodies-in-the-know on outdoor benches set up to accommodate the spillover from the tiny dining room. Already, the team has laminated “SOLD OUT” posters at the ready – one for lunch and one for dinner so they can tell disappointed diners when they can come back for more chicken.

House-made pungent chili-garlic and watery ginger sauces are complimentary and should be applied liberally. While you’re waiting, grab a plate of kaya toast (RMB15), grilled to order at a take-out window that makes up half of the storefront. Ang’s other hometown project, Five Star Kopitiam, has already proved he has the recipe for this rich coconut jam down pat. We foolishly waited until one of the 20 seats in the tiny dining room freed up to order our pandan-and-butter scented sandwich, only to watch as the last slice was claimed. Lesson learned. Other Singaporean specialties chalked up on the blackboard are on par with the excellent chicken. Take advantage of the cucumbers, which are in season right now.

Currently rehearsing three nights a week, they must become accus- tomed to rotating roles and very short (15-30 second) costume changes. The writing is witty and fast-paced, the music challenging. Julia Carey, a newcomer to the city and graduate of the esteemed Tisch School of Arts in New York City, will take on the weighty female roles, while JP Lopez (Frankenfurter in East-West Theater’s Rock On Halloween!) also features. Deji Odunlami, a real-life epicurean sausage maker behind Bad Boy Bangers, will also be taking the stage in a supporting role.

Regis played for the club in the late 1970s, the first time a top-flight club had regularly fielded three black players. They rose above racist chants and abuse from rival fans by dem- onstrating their raw talent and ability. Palmer says he was inspired by those who paved the way before him “not necessarily because they were black players, but because I really wanted to play football … But obviously with them being successful, it makes it easier for you.” And it did. Palmer reached the FA Cup final twice, once in 1993 with Sheffield Wednesday and again in 1996 with Leeds United. “There’s no answer to success,” he says of how he responded to detrac- tors early in his career. It’s an ethos he hopes will inspire the next generation he mentors in Shanghai. “If you’re good enough, it doesn’t matter what color or what race you are, you can achieve.” May 2014 85 COMMUNITY « tiger father LET’S TALK ABOUT SEX ON SECOND THOUGHTS, I’LL LET DOCTOR WIFE FIELD IT…
