Vacations and Technology: Exploring Underwater Escapades and Cyborg Insects in this Week's PostMag Edition
In the vibrant city of Singapore, the annual Singapore Design Week is set to return from September 11 to 21, marking the city's 60th year of independence. This event serves as a platform for designers from around the globe, including creatives from Hong Kong and mainland China, to showcase their innovative works.
This year, the Singapore Design Week features a unique commission: a pavilion built entirely from Unica stools. The event also highlights the city's design scene, showcasing emerging designers and their explorations of what's next.
Meanwhile, across the globe in Peru, a travel special is taking readers on a culinary journey through the Chinese-Peruvian cuisine known as Chifa. The focus is on Lima's historic Chinese eateries, where dishes like deep-fried guinea pig, Hakka salt-baked chicken, and enough wok hei to make a Hongkonger homesick are common.
The author of this travel special, yet to be explicitly named, delves into the history of Chifa, tracing its evolution from its roots in coolie labor to its current form. Chifa, it seems, predates fusion trends by about a century, blending traditional Peruvian ingredients with Chinese cooking techniques to create a unique culinary identity.
In the heart of Lima, Hei Kiu Au can be found exploring the city's Chifa restaurants. Her journey takes her through the streets of the historic district, uncovering the rich history and flavours of this unique cuisine.
Back in Singapore, the Singapore Design Week also includes a showcase about design's role in crisis response. A central feature is a cyborg cockroach, a testament to the innovative ways design can be used to address challenges in unexpected ways.
Teresa Bergen, meanwhile, is participating in a group of swimmers, perhaps a testament to the city's commitment to promoting an active lifestyle.
The Singapore Design Week's program includes various design-related events, offering something for everyone interested in design. Whether you're a designer, a curious onlooker, or a food enthusiast, there's something to look forward to at this year's Singapore Design Week.
