Leading the PACK

The dawn of a New Year brings with it the roar of a tiger. A true force of nature, the Tiger, in Asian tradition symbolises power, courage and audacity. Passionate and dynamic, the Chinese zodiac sign of the tiger represents the sensitivity of its being, whilst also effusing hot-headedness and strength. Charismatic, the tiger roams the earth with aplomb and élan

Drawing from these qualities, Tittot launches its Thunderous Force Collection, which brings a streak of feisty tigers out from the depths of wilderness.

Life in top Gear

“Only as high as I reach can I grow, only as far as I seek can I go, only as deep as I look can I see, only as much as I dream can I be,” goes a Chinese Proverb.

Growing up, this might not have been the life Mr. Yow imagined, all he had wished for was to get more than he had been given. As a boy growing up in Muar, a poor small town in Johor, Malaysia, with no funds to even attend secondary school, Mr. Yow had dreamt a dream quite big, but nonetheless.

The glass is cleaner on this side

Your life revolves around your home and family and your day runs the routine of the Asian Food Channel.

At first glance, Chef-owner Adrian Ling’s background reads like typical fodder worthy of a Hollywood script.

A former US-based commodities trader, Ling gave up on the rat race after nearly a decade of climbing the corporate ladder in 2004. Embarking on a six month sojourn to the Tibetan plateau, the soul-searching adventure made him realize what he really wanted in life, was to cook.
