Ok, so I didn't actually spend my afternoon with Joanne Chang herself, but I decided this morning to wander over to the South End and check out her two restaurants.First, I swung by Meyers + Chang to have lunch.

Currently Thailand is hosting the 5th World Film Festival of Bangkok and as part of that there is a tribute to Taiwanese actress and director Sylvia Chang. They are showing six of her films in which she appeared or directed and last night I had the pleasure of catching the Shaw Brothers film Dream of the Red Chamber on the big screen. I am not really a fan of the Huangmei Opera films, but I love this one with its lush ornate sets, melodic tunes and gut crunching emotions. Oh, and it also stars Brigitte Lin and Sylvia Chang. Ok - that is mainly why I love this film. This was the only Shaw film that either of them ever appeared in and in their pristine youth they dazzle in their close-ups. I have occasionally thought what a shame it was that the Shaws didn’t sign Brigitte up after her succ

This is what makes Koh Chang so special or “cool”: luxury, nature, and solitude all contained in one small island destination in Thailand. Following are my take on the Top 3 hotels on Koh Chang for your Thailand beach holiday.1. Amari Emerald Cove Resort and SpaAt the time of writing, the island’s only five star resort has the best service and the plushest rooms, massive dens in pastel creams and browns, full of exquisite fixtures such as handsome lampshades, masculine writing desks and wooden TV cabinets in traditional East Asian style. The grounds also hold the Koh Chang’s largest swimming pool and the best Thai restaurant. 2. Aiyapura Resort and Koh Chang SpaOffering a variety of styles of bungalows nestled in a secluded location, complete with attentive service, Aiyapura
When I arrived back in Thailand, I was met at the airport by Pat and Sasha. I wanted to spend some time on the ocean before I returned to Chiang Mai. We chose to go to Pattaya because it was close to Bangkok. From the airport, we were able to take a charter bus for 110 Baht. We arrived in Pattaya and decided to stay at the Redemptorist Center. The Redeptorist Center is located on the same grounds as the Pattaya Orphanage and the School for Deaf Children which is operated by the Pattaya Orphanage Trust. Father Ray Brennan, who passed away 4 years ago, was the founder of the Fr. Ray Foundation. Upon the death of Father Ray, the management of the Pattaya Orphanage transferred to the Pattaya Children Support Foundation, a charity of the local Roman Catholic diocese. Today, the Pattaya Orphanag
Michael Chang was just elected into the tennis hall of fame (1/23/08). It's an amazing accomplishment when you consider all that he had to overcome in his career. He was never blessed with any of the god-given talent or ability that many of his rivals possed and he was almost always the smallest/shortest player in his matches. Still, he managed to climb to the peak of his sport thanks to his incredible work ethic, unrelenting determination and awe-inspiring heart. No one hustled more than Michael Chang, period. The first thought that pops into any tennis fan's mind whenever we hear the name Michael Chang is the 1989 French Open champtionship that he won. It is considered one of the biggest upsets and greatest underdog performances in sports history. What he accomplished transcended sports

BAAN CHANG NAG is located in a broad upland valley to the north-west of Chiangmai, Thailand's second most populous city. The cool evening air in late November and leaden grey skies are a reminder that the climate in tropical Southeast Asia is not an unvarying diet of heat and humidity. Night-time temperatures fall sufficiently for the house to require a hearth. The setting of the house is wonderfully picturesque. Surrounded by a low white-painted masonry wall, not unlike the walls of a Buddhist temple in Northern Thailand, it sits on the bank of a man-made lake, against a background of forested hills, home to some of the hill-tribes of Chiangmai province. One enters via gatehouse in the south-east corner of the compound. The principle of tiered roof in diminishing proportion locates this house in mainland southeast Asia.An outdoor terrace is the focus of the dwelling.The house is comparatively isolated; it is the forerunner of what will eventually be a low-density development of seco

If you are in Singapore and you really want a home grown local snack to munch on, stop by one of the Old Chang Kee kiosks or stores for some hot, steaming, yummy curry puffs.

I love the chewy, crunchy texture.Old Chang Kee has added so many items to their menus over the years but no matter what new items are added, nothing beats the traditional bite of the original curry puff.I'm hungry now...

The way she thinks about fashion and technology is outstanding, head over to the write up we have posted back in January or to her site.

Her Fall 2007 collection include great looking dresses with iPod controls. We like the way she integrates almost invisible those controls. This is what makes her creations outstanding.
Angel Chang is not ‘only’ using electronic functions for integration, another part of her collection has Thermochromic ink. This Thermochromic ink print pattern change their intensity/visiblity depending on the surrounding temperature. Those parts of the fabric that are closer to the skin are warmer and the print will ‘disappear’. Other pa
