Their list of recommendations include char kuey teow and assam laksa from the foodie paradise–Penang.
The signature dish of Ipoh, bean sprout chicken, and the wildly popular bak kut teh and nasi lemak from the capital Kuala Lumpur are also not to be missed.

Chef Puan Siti Mardriana has been running her nasi lemak business in Jln Sg Pinang for more than a decade. This signature dish is made with rice steamed in coconut milk paired with sambal chili sauce, sliced cucumber, boiled eggs, crispy peanut and fried ikan bilis wrapped in banana leaves.

These can be either savory or sweet and are mostly made of rice, milk and glutinous rice, fresh coconut milk, with bright colors dyed by natural plants such as pandan leaves, butterfly pea flower, coconut sugar and coconut milk.
Finally, representing the southernmost state of Johor, culinary teacher and columnist Chef Jazz Chee is a third-generation chef with his signature Johor laksa. This is a must-try dish with a richer than usual laksa broth made with a stir-fried paste of shallots, garlic, dried chilli, citronella, dried wax fruit, yellow ginger, dried chilli, excellent dried shrimp, ground and stir-fried and topped with tofu puff, fresh fish ball, sliced fish cake, fried bean skin and fresh clams.

Hot Flows: PRD Arts Retrospective in Macao
2019-08-23 - 2019-10-10 | Ox Warehouse, 87-97 Av. do Cel. Mesquita, Santo Antonio, Macau, Macau, Macau
This exhibition’s aim is to examine the Pearl River Delta’s meteoric progress of urbanization and its cultural phenomena developed in a considerable dualism. In this prospect, the occurring “Pearl River Delta Arts Retrospective” is introduced as a triennial to feature in-depth reviews of the region; by scrutinizing each organization working in this conurbation, in the varied forms of creative communities, collectives and institutions.
With these concerning entities, in their previous collaborative projects, they have since established a strong connection in hope to stimulate the unorthodox ecology and practices in the arts. In 2016, they presented nine practitioner groups distinctive to the PRD, looking at how such formations have shaped the cultural landscape in the region and its relevance for today’s socio-political context.
Three years have passed, the second edition of the “PRD Arts Retrospective” has proposed “How Flows” as a working title, and appointed nine artist groups to exhibit their trajectory of integration as a community-oriented model in the Pearl River Delta. The concept draws on colonial preoccupations with the plume of “smoke” as sources of likely contagion in the effect of temperature and moisture, the burning “smoke” rising from opium destruction at Humen, and the noxious veil of “smog” enveloping the complexity of our urban-rural divide; such environmental commonality functions as powerful means to communicate messages on localism as an urban phenomena. Artists include Fong Fo, Xi San Chorus, Luwei HD, Jiu Society, Lo Lai Lai Natalie/Sangwoodgoon, Come Inside, Pan Lu & Bo Wang, among others.
When: August 23–October 10, 2019
Where: Post-Ox Warehouse Experimental Site, 15 R. do Volong, Macau
How much: Free admission

Have you ever dreamt of flying – of soaring with the birds in the sky? Flights is a magical dance theatre work for children and families that challenges you to wonder, and to contemplate our eternal dream: to be able to fly. Combining captivating digital animation and life-size puppets, mirrors and shadows, athletic choreography and hypnotic music, Flights gives full rein to Leonardo da Vinci’s fascination with flight – and the ingenious machines he devised to cross the sky and join the soaring birds.
Flights is created by Aracaladanza, a multi award-winning dance theatre company from Madrid specialising in works for children and young people. Led by choreographer Enrique Cabrera, Aracaladanza has won a raft of international prizes over its 21-year history for its fantastical dance stories told through movement, music, lighting, costume and rhythm.
It draws on Leonardo da Vinci’s drawings, paintings and sculptures, his explorations of anatomy and geometry, as dancers transform into magical winged creatures, or embody his elegant perpetual motion machines. Bewitching, comic and astonishingly inventive, it appeals directly to the senses and the emotions, and is aimed at children over five, with plenty to stimulate and entertain adults too.
When: August 24 and 25, 2019

BOK Festival 2019

From 1999 to 2019, Macau has undergone earth-shaking transformations. As a non-governmental art experimentation platform, at a time when the long-awaited LRT (Light Rail Transit) service is about to start, we hope to explore the gap between the “platform” and the “moon” through seeking theater perspectives and imaginations in contemporary art. The gap is between the rational and the romantic, the ideal and the reality, society and the self. BOK festival 2019 aims to bring theatre closer to people by showcasing a series of performances, including Falling from the Land, Time and Toys, Streaming Steam, Orig.ami, Artificial Loneliness, Between the Winds, among others.
The city is under development and people are moving, heading every day to an impossible destination. If we get lost on the way, that is more than reasonable. There will be a series of explorations about identity. The ‘BOK Movement’ features seven groups of creative types from different fields who have left their native land to ‘roam’ in different cities. With a string of experimental theatres, they will take you on a flight between the platform and the moon, in an attempt to search for definition/re-definition.
Launched in 2013, the BOK Festival is a performing arts platform co-launched by several non-governmental associations. Taking the polysemic character “搏” (Cantonese pronunciation: bok3) as its tenet, the Bok Festival emphasizes: linking, striving, experimenting, connecting, trying. It’s co-produced by Own Theatre, Macau Experimental Theatre, MyLand Culture
When: August 24–September 8, 2019
Where: Black Box Theatre, HiuKok Experimental Lab and Macao Contemporary Art Centre – Navy Yard No.2

The Imagery of the Zen Mind: Works by Wai Man Hun
2019-08-31 - 2019-10-18 | 1844 Macau Photography Art Space, Rua do Infante, No. 17, Edf. Loi Fat, Lojas A e B, R/C, Macau, Macau
“Discovery” is the most difficult part of the photography creation process in a natural environment.“Discovery” is to search for the environmental element in the natural environment that complies with the author’s thoughts.What reflects the artistic accomplishment of an author after “discovery” is by observing how he or she makes sacrifices in the angle and compositional choices. The moment the author presses the shutter integrates his knowledge and aesthetics from self-cultivation and the experience of life, it achieves a photographic “Imagery thinking” realm that can be explained as “painting in a moment, telling the story through the imagery”. The works can speak. They tell us about the author’s self-cultivation, cultural accumulation and expressed intention. In terms of artistic expression, I think image expression is better than character expression.
The author of this exhibition, Wai Man Hun, has a rich experience of life. During his youth, he has been pursuing a variety of knowledge, not only ancient Chinese medicine, Buddhism, Taoism, but he has also been studying hard on philosophy, cosmology, natural science, and physics for many years. In recent years, the author pursues artistic photography. During the creation process, he expresses his inner ideas and world view.This exhibition is a rare “painting at an instant” art exhibition which would change the traditional cogitation! Using “imagery thinking”, the author uses the mind of Zen to communicate and whisper to the natural environment, therefore, it can achieve an imaginary realm that expresses the state of “the mind changes as the environment turns and the image generated by the heart.” The images on display show the author’s reductive process from “Zen mind- imagery” to “imagery- Zen mind”. The works transform complicated topics into simple thoughts, the theme is clear, the composition is unique and the artistic conception is profound. In the lotus pond in Macao, Wai Man Hun whispered to the natural environment, revealing the mystery of nature and produces the works of “The Imagery of the Zen Mind”.
This exhibition expresses the feelings of emotion, nature, “xie yi” (freehand style), for those who feel resonant with the works, will feel quiet, comfortable, and spiritually rich. ‘The Imagery of the Zen Mind – Works by Vai Man Hun’ conveys that everything in the universe is endless and repetitive.
When: August 31–October 18, 2019
