Hotspots: Wellness Dining

Yellow Pot

Yellow Pot
Six Senses Duxton, 88 Duxton Road, 089540
sixsenses.com/hotels/duxton/dining
Tucked away in the elegant Six Senses Duxton heritage hotel lies this chic Chinese restaurant. With shades of yellow, black and gold, the opulent interiors are designed by acclaimed British designer Anousaka Hempel. The menu features authentic and reimagined Chinese dishes, with an emphasis on sustainability and wellness. Head Chef Sebastian Goh uses ingredients from viable sources, and where possible the restaurant supports local fisheries and farms. The philosophy of the dishes at Yellow Pot is balanced, clean and healthy eating, in line with the ideology of Six Senses properties around the globe.
We begin our meal with the Chilled Organic Vine-ripened Tomatoes ($8) infused with “Li Hing” plum. The small skinned tomatoes are light and tangy and a nice palate cleanser. This is followed by the unusually meaty vegetarian dish, Lion’s Mane Mushrooms ($16) which I would swear was chicken in a blind tasting, and prawns, served in a light mayonnaise with fluffy bonito flakes ($18) Our dished are paired with a beautiful black Chinese tea, created for the restaurant by Yixing Xuan Teahouse, just around the corner.
Roast Duck ($36) is Yellow Pot’s most famous dish, and it doesn’t disappoint; crispy skin and juicy meat, with a homemade tangy plum dipping sauce. My next favourite main is the Wok-seared Organic Grass-fed Beef Tenderloin ($38) tender cubes of braised beef, with flavours of peppercorn, honey and crisp garlic chips. Steamed Kühlbarra Barramundi ($32) hails from a local fish farm, a firm white fish with an Asian-style green pesto of scallion, ginger and coriander. To finish, we try the local festive dessert, Tang Yuan in Ginger Tea ($8) fragrant, warming ginger broth, with two floating rice balls – glutinous and filled with delicious nutty paste.
Verdict: Fresh, light and sustainable Chinese dishes that embrace clean and healthy cooking but lose none of their punchy flavours. What could be better?

Cook & Tras Social Library

Social Library
2 Cook St, 078857
sixsenses.com/hotels/maxwell/dining
Located between Cook and Tras Streets – hence its moniker – the welcoming, cosy library at Six Senses Maxwell is home to some 3000 books. It also houses an elegant restaurant. Spearheaded by experienced chef, Ian Mancais, the menu has expanded from bar bites to a full lunch and dinner menu, inspired by Southern European cuisine. During our relaxed lunch we start with Alive & Inspired ($22), a colourful tossed salad with berries, avocado, mango and kale. It’s virtuous and delicious. The Vine Tomatoes & Mixed Melon ($22) follows; watermelon, tomatoes and burrata cheese, topped with shaved ice. The standout dish of the meal is the Baked Barramundi ($28) with fresh herbs, light Indian flavours and a tangy yogurt sauce. Steak Chimichurri ($55) is also great, served with asparagus, vine-ripened tomatoes and garlic. Local dishes are also on offer, at a very friendly price point. Iberico Pork Sate ($9) Nonya Style Chicken Meatballs ($9) are both excellent. The Camp Fire S’mores ($20) are served in a cloud of smoke, and this baked Alaska style dessert is seriously good – with layers of chocolate ganache, ice cream and meringue.
Because even the healthiest eater deserves a sweet treat from time to time.

Verdict: With a leaning towards light, seasonal and organic plates, Chef Mancais is a huge talent, and his food is superbly done.

Wellness for Kids

Packed schedules and pressure to perform can lead to kids experiencing stress from a young age. Integrating some yoga or mindfulness practices can teach them relaxation and give them a chance to ‘switch off’ from their daily routine. There are lots of ideas for calming kids in Singapore.

So Yoga

Yoga for Young Ones

So Yoga, various locations
soyoga.com.sg
So Yoga was founded in 2014 by expat mum of three Sophie Spoor. She offers classes for both kids and adults, and conducts yoga programs in some international schools. “Yoga provides different opportunities as children grow: balance, focus, flexibility, strength, self-esteem and confidence,” explains Sophie.
A typical class starts with the kids sitting in a circle, not rows. Breathing exercises and warm ups come first. “We then move into yoga poses – which are brought to kids through stories, songs, or a special theme. We imitate animals’ positions and sounds: kids yoga classes are vibrant, energetic, inclusive! We transition then slowly into a quiet time, and relaxation,” says Sophie. “I try teaching yoga in a creative, accessible and fun way, so kids will practice while having fun. Every class comes with a special theme, story or concept (Christmas, Jungle, Chakras…). Yoga improves their balance, flexibility, strength, concentration, sleep quality and channels their energy.” Sophie’s passion for kids yoga has extended to writing a series of kids yoga activity books, called Miniyogi (miniyogi.com). “One book is equivalent to one yoga class, it includes story time, breathing exercises, yoga poses, games and relaxation moments.”

Como Shambhala, Orchard Road
comoshambhala.com/singapore/classes/yoga/kids-yoga
Como Shambhala’s kids yoga program is adapted from the pioneering YogaKids International program, and is suitable for kids of all ages. It uses games and cooperative play while encouraging children to use their imagination imitating poses like animals and nature elements. The class will give them basic techniques for relaxation, self-control, and stress-release, and help them gain increased flexibility, strength, stamina, self-confidence, and coordination.
The yoga classes are best suited to kids between five and 11 years old. Como Shambhala also offers a Mindfulness class for pre-teens (around 10 – 12 year olds) to teach relaxation and elements of meditation.

Cheryl Ow teaches yoga sessions conducted on Wobbel Boards (a curved wooden board for balancing). They are held outdoors, usually at Singapore Botanical Gardens. “We combine children’s yoga with the Wobbel Board – a curved board that accentuates movement – to unite both mind and body. Mindfulness and meditation techniques are also taught to boost patience, self-confidence and physical strength,” explains Cheryl. She offers parent and toddler Wobbelyoga classes, best for children around 18 months to three years old, and drop-off classes for children from three to 12 years. “We always start with songs to break the ice, then breathing techniques, warm ups, sun salutation, games incorporating yoga poses, sometimes arts and crafts or brain yoga activities then ending with relaxation activities and meditation.”

Tiny Movements

The Open Centre, Turf Club Rd
theopencentre.com.sg

The Centre also holds mindfulness holiday camps for primary-school aged children. These week-long camps are designed to teach kids life skills in a fun and relaxing environment. Daily activities include art projects, nature exploration, mindfulness and concentration activities, games and ‘mindful movement’ to calm the mind and strengthen the body.

Canvass, Binjai Park
canvass.com.sg
Canvass is a yoga and art studio that offers a variety of classes based on movement, mindfulness and creative arts.
Their two-hour Movement Art Mindfulness for Children over five years old combines art, storytelling and movement exercises. Students learn about body anatomy, mindful movement practice, breathing exercises and non-verbal ways of expressing themselves. Creative art exercises strengthen the understanding of the theme of the class. Canvass also offers meditation for teenagers, with guided breathing and mindfulness techniques to promote a clear and peaceful mind.

ANZA Netball: Meet Coach Heath!

How did you get into coaching ANZA Netball?
I wanted to put my three daughters into a team sport that was going to challenge them from both a skills and an athletic perspective. I do have some family history with netball, as my younger sisters used to play netball for Australia, so we signed our daughters up for netball after moving to Singapore. And even though all I had done previously was cut the oranges, after some gentle persuasion from the ANZA Netball Committee, I signed up to be a coach.  Having three kids at the same location on a Saturday really provides a great opportunity to actively get involved with ANZA netball and help out.

What do you enjoy about coaching?
As a dad who spends a lot of time in the office and many evenings on calls, being a coach last season gave me the chance to spend some quality time with my youngest daughter, Zehara. ANZA Netball provides excellent training and support and I had a lot of fun trying to share that with the girls.

How did the U6 netball skills progress?
During the first few weeks of training I had the girls lined up in an arc and would pass the ball to each and they would return the pass back to me.  I vividly remember one of the girls being nervous about catching the ball and when the ball was passed to her, she dropped it.  As a team we encouraged her to try again and then on her third attempt she caught it, hooray! As the season progressed the girls went from barely catching the ball to passing what they called “bullet passes”.  For such young girls they were able to pass accurately, fast and were beginning to pre-empt where a player was headed.  When we started playing actual netball games, the girls were all running in the same direction, however by the end of the season they were spread out, marking the opposite player and passing the ball well.

What do the girls enjoy the most in their netball sessions?
Spending regular time together as a team, learning new skills and developing friendships that they will hopefully retain over the years to come. They also get to play some fun games that are teaching them netball skills without them realising. There are girls from a range of backgrounds and they don’t all go to school together, so it is a good opportunity for them make new friends.

What does your daughter think about her dad coaching netball?
Zehara thinks that it’s awesome having dad coach her at netball, although, she does know that this has meant she can’t muck around during the training!  She thinks netball is a lot of fun and always wants to win the player of the week trophy.

ANZA Netball’s season kicked off on Saturday, 7 September, running through to 21 March 2020. Find out more about teams and volunteering at anza.org.sg/sports/netball

Food and drink:
You’re not allowed bring food into the race area. Grab something to eat or drink from a wide range of restaurants and bars at Market Street and The Wharf (Zone 1), and Portside Hawkers and Dockside Hawkers (Zone 4).

Party on!
Want to rub shoulders with racing royalty or rock stars? Head to the official after party at Podium Lounge from Friday 20 to Sunday 22 September, at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia. VIP tickets and tables from podiumlounge.com/sg. Other race revelry will take place in restaurants, bars and clubs all over the city.

What to wear:
It’s hot out there! Dress in cool, comfortable clothes and wear good walking shoes – you’ll need them to explore Circuit Park. Pack light, and don’t bring more than 600ml of water (no other drinks are allowed). Sunblock and a hat are essential, ear protection is advised for both kids and adults, and bring cash as not all vendors accept credit card payment. The Grand Prix is a rain and shine event – pack a poncho.

Bringing the kids:
Some kids love the buzz of the Grand Prix. But remember that kids under the age of seven need a signed indemnity agreement for admission into the Circuit Park. Download the form from singaporegp.sg

Getting there:
Ditch the car and take Singapore’s super-efficient, cheap public transport instead – all gates are within walking distance to an MRT station. If you’re taking a taxi, check your designated drop off points at the GP website before you go. Expect to be on foot for at least part of your journey.

Buy tickets:
Tickets can be purchased for single or multi days, with options ranging from corporate box, to grandstand, and cheaper walkabout options (budget depending!). Visit singaporegp.sg, call the hotline 6738 6738, or buy from authorised ticketing agents.

Celebrate the Mid Autumn Festival

You might be known as a dessert master, but you also have a wellness approach to your treats? 
Yes, our wellness approach is very much driven by the people and how consumer habits and preferences are changing. Wellness is a trend that is happening all over the world and not just in Singapore, so we always bear this in mind for opportunities to create new products for different festivals.

How do occasional sweet things form part of a holistic diet?
To be honest, this is a challenge because sweets have always been more of an indulgence, but what we can do is to simply harness the natural flavours of the ingredients as much as we can. I believe that if we focus on showcasing natural flavours, it can be part of a holistic and healthy diet.

How did you choose the flavours for your mooncakes this year?
It was in Tokoshima, Japan that I was inspired to make the mooncakes. We found high quality and fresh sweet potato paste that I thought would be perfect for a mooncake filling. I’ve found other amazing ingredients all over Japan during my frequent travels across the country. In local Japanese farms, the ingredients and produce are treated with care and involve a lot of human labour. It was the desire to showcase all these high-quality ingredients in one box that sparked the idea of choosing a signature ingredient from each prefecture as the nine mooncake flavours.

Why Japan as a source?
Since 2011, I have been working on various projects in Japan, and have always been amazed at the quality of the ingredients. I also have close relationships with many of the local farmers there, so it was natural that Japan would be the top choice to source for my mooncake ingredients.

What wellness properties do your mooncakes have?
It was important that the mooncakes be lower in sugar for health reasons. We were able to control the sugar and oil content in the mooncakes. The focus was really to bring out the quality of the ingredients and the natural flavours. For example, the sweet potato mooncake paste has zero sugar – natural sweetness comes from the potato. The ingredients chosen also have strong wellness properties. For example, ume, Japanese plum, is known to be a “superfood” and has many health benefits including improved
blood circulation, immunity and hair growth. Matcha (green tea) is loaded with antioxidants and nutrients that have powerful effects on the body while yuzu is high in vitamin C and contains antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. They’re also smaller in portion size, so you can try more flavours in one seating!

How do you like to celebrate the Mid-Autumn festival?
Mid-Autumn Festival in Singapore is a season of gifting, so that’s how I like to celebrate it – using this opportunity to gift mooncakes and spend time with loved ones.

What tea would you serve with your mooncakes for optimal wellness?
Our French Blue Earl Grey Tea helps to alleviate digestive problems, boosts the immune system, and improves oral health.

How do you find balance in your own life?
I always watch what I eat and I’m very conscious about what my body is taking in. Yoga is something that helps me to refresh and recharge.

What is next for the Janice Wong brand?
We are working towards an elaborate Christmas season for the end of the year. I’m excited about the newly established Janice Wong Japan company. We’ve finally taken over our own brand rights and we will be building on the retail side of the business in Japan.

Art Therapy for Kids

Art Therapists Ms Jeanette Chan and Ms Charlene Ouyang

Established in 1902, CAS is among Singapore’s oldest, secular philanthropic organisations supporting disadvantaged children, youth, and families. Melrose Home (CAS) in Clementi provides a nurturing ‘home away from home’ for vulnerable children and youth (6-18 years old) coping with adverse family circumstances, family violence, or child neglect issues. The Home augments residential care services with a holistic range of programmes and therapeutic interventions to guide their young charges towards healthy growth and development and ultimately, successful family reunification or independent living.
CAS’s new service, Melrose Care, in Woodlands plans to play a bigger role in supporting vulnerable children, youths and underserved families in the community. Melrose Care is the first purpose-built counselling centre for art and play therapy services in Singapore. Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy which uses art media purposefully (drawing, painting ect) to effect change and growth in a supported and safe environment. Experienced Art Therapists Ms Jeanette Chan and Ms Charlene Ouyang work alongside the community. “As therapists, we become witnesses to the life experiences of people who have been through challenging or even traumatic experiences. We hold the space to make it supportive and safe for them to tell their stories and share their emotions.” CAS aims to make art therapy accessible and create awareness of alternative therapeutic treatment for those who are more comfortable expressing their world through creative means.

ANZA STITCHES AT MELROSE HOME
ANZA Stitches recently held sewing workshops over two days to help girls at Melrose Home improve their sewing skills. Stitches members kindly provided sewing machines for the workshops as well as all the materials. Art is an incredibly versatile medium to engage Melrose Home’s residents and they have observed numerous benefits ranging from functional skills development (i.e. sewing, embroidery and craft making techniques) to promoting creativity and self-expression, as well as therapeutic outcomes.
“The sewing workshops led by ANZA Stitches complement our female youth residents’ interests and with the volunteers’ guidance, the girls have been able to progress in their skills and learned how to make a variety of new pouches and cushions. Interaction with the volunteers was also valuable and we strive to support our residents through meaningful time spent with positive role models of diverse backgrounds and expertise,” says Ms Lim Wan Yin, Senior Executive (Community Engagement). “The ANZA community has been a valuable partner of CAS over the years, enthusiastically supporting us through a variety of recreational activities, home improvement projects, donation-in-kind initiatives, and fundraising campaigns. Such volunteer projects are incredibly valuable to us and we hope that ANZA can continue to journey with us as we grow and develop to better serve our community and those in need.”
The ANZA Stiches group also benefited from the experience. “As a group we had a great time working with the girls, they really seemed to embrace the opportunity to learn a new skill,” says Elizabeth Mann. “It’s always wonderful to be able to share our love of sewing with others and to see the sense of accomplishment that comes with creating a unique handmade piece.”
We wish CAS all the best with the launch of Melrose Care and will continue to support CAS and Melrose Home with their important work with vulnerable Singaporeans. To find out more about Children’s Aid Society’s programmes and services, follow them on Facebook at facebook.com/childrensaidsocietysg.

ANZA Aths: Back on the track

We can’t think of a better way to jump into the school term than to try a new sport, meet new friends and have a lot of fun along the way. In keeping with this month’s wellness theme, ANZA Athletics is bound to make your kids feel great – mind, body and soul. There might just be a little something to make the parents feel good about too…

BODY
One of the most undersold benefits of athletics is how many different types of events and skills are on offer. ANZA Athletics kids work muscles they didn’t even know they had running, throwing and leaping around the track and field. By the end of the session everyone is red, sweaty and smiling after a sensational workout.

MIND
Research shows the important role physical activity plays in improving mental health. Kids are no exception with the old adage ringing true – active kids are happy kids. And let’s not forget the mental muscle they’ll flex while concentrating on learning new skills and sporting rules. The technique for throwing a discus, measuring a long jump or clearing a hurdle is harder than it looks! Determination and resilience is essential. Remembering their last record also becomes quite important as they strive to beat their personal best each week.

SOUL
One of the most uplifting sights over the course of the season is watching friendships blossom at ANZA Athletics. With age categories split into girls and boys, the kids get to know their group well very quickly. Each week kids bound over to their friends to catch up on their week, before cheering each other on. It’s heart-warming stuff.

PARENTS WIN, TOO!
ANZA Athletics is a wonderful way for parents to meet new people, which is important in our transient expat population. It’s not a drop off and retreat into your phone type of event. Parents are actively involved every step of the way as timekeepers, team leaders and place givers. The kids’ excitement is infectious.
So what are you waiting for? Sign up today and discover just how fabulous the whole family will feel joining the ANZA Athletics community!

Registrations are open now at anza.org.sg/sports/athletics
When: Friday afternoons from 4:30pm to 6:45pm, starting from Friday, 6 September 2019 (through to 20 March 2020).

Interview: Jimmy Barnes

Photo: Stephanie Barnes

Why was Singapore an important stop for you to perform?
Seeing a band live is a big part of the way that music lovers get close to a band. So, I try to play wherever there are fans. Plus, I love coming to Singapore. My wife, Jane, and I stop there regularly.
Which of your big hits always gets Aussie expats on their feet?
Working Class Man, Khe Sanh, Flame Trees, Lay Down Your Guns. There are quite a few and we like to play them all live.
Tell us about your new album My Criminal Record?
The recording process was very straightforward – I used my live band because they know me best and have lived through the fallout from my childhood with me. (Barnes’s 2016 autobiography, Working Class Boy details his traumatic and violent childhood) It was important for me to be singing from my soul, from my own experience. It had to be personal. At this point in life it seemed the right thing to do.

What’s the significance of the title?
It’s not my own personal criminal record. It’s a record of how I was brought up. Surrounded by violence, poverty and abuse. That’s what was criminal. To make things worse, kids are still being brought up in suburbs all over Australia, if not the world, surrounded by the same conditions. That’s the real crime.
You’ve done some very honest interviews lately.
It’s helped me a lot. To speak about the darkest moments of my life, to shine a light on those dark moments has helped me heal.
What have been your career highlights?
Making our first record. Hitting number one on the charts. Playing at the Olympics. Just getting to play music every night are all highlights. I get to sing with my children and my wife every night of the week. That’s really special.
Do your grandkids know that you’re a rock star?
Some do but it’s not that important to them. They’re happy if we spend time together. Just like all grandkids.
What’s one thing you’d like to do or see in Singapore?
We always make a point of eating Chili Crab and we have a dear friend who lives here that we love to see.
What are you most likely to do on your days off nowadays?
Write stories for my next book and keep writing songs. Sometimes I just recover and get ready for the next show.
