  • Contemporary Asian Is Hot in Singapore's Dining Scene
    Contemporary Asian is hot in Singapore's dining scene Chef Alvin Leung, who is behind the three-Michelin-star Bo Innovation in Hong Kong, took 10 years to open Forbidden Duck, his first eatery in Singapore. It opened last Thursday. ST PHOTO: NG SOR LUAN Celebrity chef Alvin Leung's Forbidden Duck and MasterChef Woo Wai Leong's Restaurant Ibid are among the many Asian and modern Chinese restaurants popping up in Singapore. The Sunday Times checks them out PUBLISHED: MAY 6, 2018, 5:00 AM SGT ... Eunice Quek Asian is the flavour of the month, with the opening of a slew of new restaurants - many of which are best described as modern Chinese. High-profile ones include Madame Fan in Beach Road and Forbidden Duck by celebrity chef Alvin Leung at Marina Bay Link Mall. Local chefs are also paying homage to their roots - with MasterChef Asia winner Woo Wai Leong's Restaurant Ibid in North Canal Road and Circa 1912 by food consultant and chef David Yip. All these add to the more than 20 new restaurants and casual eateries which have opened since last month. And more are in the pipeline. There has also been a spate of brands from overseas opening here, including Took Lae Dee from Thailand and one-Michelin-starred Qi - House of Sichuan from Hong Kong. According to information from analytics platform Handshakes and the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority, 409 restaurants have opened so far this year, while 269 have closed. If the pace of restaurants opening is kept up for the rest of the year, it could well surpass last year's total of 1,084 - which itself was almost double the number in 2016.

As of today, seven Discovery channels are scheduled to go dark on 30 June, with the newly acquired four-channel Scripps bouquet headed into the abyss at the end of August. Discovery says it has already been for- mally notified by StarHub that its channels are not being renewed. In a response this morning, StarHub didn’t mention any formal notice, saying only that “we are in renewal negotia- tions... and we are doing everything pos- sible to arrive at a deal which would allow Discovery and StarHub to continue our partnership while offering our customers the same content at a reasonable price”. StarHub isn’t coming into this public fight with no firepower, saying it is acquiring fresh content to replace Discovery “in the event that negotiations prove unsuc- cessful”. Several new channels are in the works “to ensure our customers will continue to enjoy access to a good range of educa- tion and lifestyle channels,” StarHub says.

The research methods included documentary analyses and interviews with mass media scholars, TV station executives, and advertising agency representatives. Most of the popular TV programs at present are copyright shows purchased from overseas, in the forms of purchases of the copyrights of finished programs as well as the copyrights of format programs; most of which were game shows, reality shows, and drama series. The characteristics of the international trade of the TV programs in Thailand included (1) trade of TV programs in the content market, (2) exchanges of TV programs between Thai and international TV stations for broadcasting, and (3) international co-productions of TV programs. Three factors that influenced TV stations in Thailand to purchase foreign TV programs were (1) changes in technology, (2) changes in consumer behavior, and (3) business survival. Therefore, the international trade of TV programs is another solution for TV stations and TV program producers in Thailand to reduce production costs, increase revenues, and expand the audience base worldwide.
