hy Go?
For the exoticism and energy of two thriving Southeast Asian capitals. The island city-state of Singapore
boasts a rich mélange of Chinese, Malay, Indian, and Western influences. A similar ethnic mix in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia,
also includes myriad indigenous groups. In each city, the diversity results in a unique culture reflecting various tastes,
traditions, and styles. Mosques juxtapose temples, which are dwarfed by futuristic skyscrapers. But perhaps the effect
is most evident — and celebrated — in the realm of gastronomy.
