Pakistani restaurant in Hong Kong received first Michelin star
HONG KONG — A pair of his father’s old tandoor ovens helped Hong Kong restaurateur Asim Hussain achieve a dream, the world’s first Michelin star for a Pakistani restaurant, an accolade he hopes will fire interest in the country’s often overlooked cuisine.
Like many of Hong Kong’s 85,000 strong South Asian population, Hussain’s family trace their lineage in the bustling financial hub back generations, when the city was a British colonial outpost.
His great-grandfather arrived during World War One, overseeing mess halls for British soldiers while his Cantonese speaking father owned restaurants in the eighties and nineties.
Hussain, 33, already had some twenty eateries in his group when he decided to embark on his what he described as his most personal and risky project yet, a restaurant serving dishes from Pakistan’s Punjab region, the family’s ancestral homeland and where he was packed off to boarding school aged six.
His father, a serial entrepreneur and even once Pakistan’s ambassador to South Korea, suggested he restore two old tandoors from his now-shuttered restaurant collecting dust in storage.
“He comes from a generation that doesn’t throw things away,” laughs Hussain, dressed in a traditional knee-length tunic and sitting in a restaurant decked with paintings by Pakistani artists. “Actually the results are better than if we had new ovens because these things improve with age.”
Those tandoors, frequent trips to Lahore to perfect recipes and a kitchen is overseen by head chef Palash Mitra, earned the New Punjab Club a Michelin star just 18 months after it opened its doors.
‘A benchmark’
The success made headlines in Pakistan, a country that is unlikely to see a Michelin guide any time soon and whose chefs have long felt overshadowed by the wider global recognition gained from neighbouring India’s regional cuisines.
“It makes us proud, it makes us very happy,” Waqar Chattha, who runs one of Islamabad’s best-known restaurants, told AFP. “In the restaurant fraternity, it’s a great achievement. It sort of sets a benchmark for others to achieve as well.”
Hussain is keen to note that his restaurant only represents one of Pakistan’s many cuisines, the often meat-heavy, piquant food of the Punjab. At it doesn’t come cheap — as much as $100 per head.
“I’m not arrogant or ignorant to say this is the best Pakistani restaurant in the world. There are better Pakistani restaurants than this in Pakistan.”
But he says the accolade has still been a “great source of pride” for Hong Kong’s 18,000-strong Pakistani community.
“It’s bringing a very niche personal story back to life, this culture, this cuisine is sort of unknown outside of Pakistan, outside of Punjab, so in a very small way I think we’ve shed a positive light on the work, on who we are and where we come from,” he explains.
It was the second star achieved by Black Sheep, the restaurant group which was founded six years ago by Hussain and his business partner, veteran Canadian chef Christopher Mark, and has seen rapid success.
But the expansion of Michelin and other western food guides into Asia has not been without controversy.
Critics have often said reviewers tended to over-emphasise western culinary standards, service and tastes.
Daisann McLane is one of those detractors. She describes the Michelin guide’s arrival in Bangkok last year as “completely changing the culinary scene there — and not in a good way.”
She runs culinary tours to some of the Hong Kong’s less glitzy eateries — to hole in the wall “dai pai dong” food stalls, African and South Asian canteens hidden inside the famously labyrinthine Chungking Mansions and to “cha chan teng” tea shops famous for their sweet brews and thick slabs of toast.
While she’s “delighted” New Punjab Club has been recognised, she has her reservations: “There is a lot of world cuisine operating way under the radar in Hong Kong and it doesn’t get noticed by Michelin or the big award groups.”
‘Taking ownership’
For some, any recognition of Pakistan’s overlooked cuisine is a success story.
Sumayya Usmani said she spent years trying to showcase the distinct flavours of Pakistani cuisine, so heavily influenced by the tumultuous and violent migration sparked by the 1947 partition of India.
When the British-Pakistani chef first pitched her cookbook to publishers on her country’s cuisine, many initially balked.
But in recent years, she says, attitudes have changed. Pakistani-run restaurants in the west that once might have described themselves as Indian are more proudly proclaiming their real culinary heritage, she says.
“I think it’s really good that people are coming out of that fear of calling themselves specifically Pakistani,” she told AFP. “It’s nice that Pakistanis have started to take ownership of what belongs to them.”
Back in Hong Kong, Hussain remarks the hard work has only just begun.
“I joke with the boys and I say that ‘It’s the first Pakistani Punjabi restaurant in the world to win a star, let’s not be the first one to lose a star'”.

5 effective ways to beat winter blues
LAHORE – As the days get shorter and the long, dark nights of winter settle in, a lot of people find their mood gets darker, too.
Especially after all the fun and festivities of the holidays are over, many people feel tired, irritable, or a bit down. These feelings are so common that there’s even a name for them: the “winter blues.”
Most people only experience a mild version of the winter blues and can continue living life as normal without too much effort. Others, however, have a more severe type of depression called seasonal affective disorder (SAD).
Both are caused by sensitivity to the lack of sunlight from the shorter winter days, which disrupts your body clock and messes with hormone levels.
Let’s go through a few easy to follow in-depth guide to beating winter blues:
Take the Right Supplements: Here’s a look at the top supplements for overcoming winter doldrums.
Fish oil
Fish oil may be the #1 supplement for treating winter depression.
Vitamin D
Unless you live in an area where large areas of your skin get some sun exposure all year long, you almost certainly are not getting the vitamin D you need to keep up a positive mood during the winter.
Tryptophan
Tryptophan is an amino acid that’s the precursor of the happiness brain chemical serotonin. Research has found tryptophan to be as effective for depression as antidepressant drugs.
Practice Meditation: There are many excellent reasons to meditate and overcoming winter blues is one of them. Dr. Norman Rosenthal is the psychiatrist who pioneered seasonal affective disorder research.
He was the first to describe winter depression, to use the term seasonal affective disorder, and to recommend the use of light therapy for its treatment.
Cross an Item Off Your “To-Do” List: Is there a project or task you’ve been putting off? First, add it to your to-do list. Don’t worry about the size of the task. Even a task as small as clearing out your junk drawer qualifies. Then after you’ve done it, cross it off your list.
Express Gratitude: Get beyond the superficialities and consumerism of the holiday season and reflect on your beliefs as to what the holidays are really about. Doing for others and being grateful is emphasized by all the great religious traditions and spiritual practices.
Expressing gratitude creates a surge of feel-good brain chemicals like dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin. According to gratitude expert Dr. Robert Emmons, gratitude may work by reducing underlying negative emotions such as regret, envy, frustration, and resentment. Several studies show that being grateful reduces the risk of depression.
Clean Up Your Diet: For many of us in the US, the carb fest starts on Halloween and continues through New Year’s Day. It becomes tough to stop. Quitting sugar and refined carbohydrates is not easy and, in fact, the more you eat, the more addictive they become.
There’s evidence that white sugar is as addictive as cocaine and heroin! Eating sugar contributes to mood swings, irritability, and brain fog.
Replace unhealthy processed foods with plenty of vegetables, high-quality protein, and mood-boosting healthy fats like those in nuts, avocados, fatty fish, and coconut in all its forms.

PM Imran lauds polio workers performance in extreme weather conditions
ISLAMABAD — Prime Minister Imran Khan has appreciated the polio workers, who performed their duties in heavy snow, vaccinating children against the crippling disease in the remote northern areas.
The premier on Wednesday hosted the heroic polio workers at the PM House including Irfan, after a video of him walking through the waist-deep snow on mountainous areas of Chitral went viral on social media.
Prime Minister Imran also tweeted out a tribute for Irfan.

During the meeting with the workers, the premier also discussed strategies to keep the scourge of polio at bay.
The fifty-second footage of the polio worker, widely viewed across the globe as the view-counter clocked at around 670 million clicks in just two days, showed the determination of the field teams to make the country free of Polio.

UNICEF, in a tweet, also appreciated the long-distance travel of polio workers.
Not even icy waist-deep snow will stop this polio vaccinator from protecting the health of children in Pakistan.
We honour his tireless dedication – and the many other heroes doing whatever it takes to vaccinate children across the world.#VaccinesWorkpic.twitter.com/o63wqJE2Ru
— UNICEF (@UNICEF) January 29, 2019
The polio vaccination in Chitral is part of the countrywide campaign launched last week during which around 39 million children below five-year age would administer anti-polio drops, despite difficult weather conditions at snowfall and hilly areas in peak winter.
The campaign reached Chitral on January 27 in freezing temperatures and heavy snowfall where polio workers in varying areas of Lower and North Chitral went out and administered polio drops to children is scheduled to continue till January 30.

Rahat Fateh Ali Khan denies getting notice for FEMA violation
MUMBAI – Pakistani Sufi mastero Rahat Fateh Ali Khan denies receiving any notice from the Enforcement Directorate, which had earlier in the day said that they had issued a notice to the veteran singer under Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA).
“It would have been better if the authorities would have served the notice first if any and then publicized this. We will address if and when we get any notice. Our law firm in Delhi will look into this if (there is) any notice,” reads a press release issued on behalf of Rahat.
For the uninitiated, the ED had issued a show-cause notice to Rahat and his manager Marrouf Ali, both Pakistani nationals, for allegedly violating foreign exchange rules involving Rs 2.61 crore.
However, the statement further adds that Khan had done nothing wrong. “It comes as surprise about a notice being served to Khan Sahab.
As the management company of Ustad Rahat Fateh Ali Khan who handles all his work, we have no idea about this. Interestingly, our lawyers in India are also known to the relevant authorities and as of now, they have not received any notice either,” according to the statement.
Calling the blame “bizarre”, the statement further asserts that Rahat never had a “direct dealing” with anyone from India. “He has never had any direct dealings with anyone in India or elsewhere hence him being blamed for something like this is bizarre.”
Stay tuned for more updates.

Punjab CM reviews expansion, performance of Rescue-1122, lifts ban on recruitments
LAHORE – Punjab government has removed ban on recruitments in Punjab Emergency Service Rescue-1122, on Thursday.
It was decided at a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar in Lahore.
Addressing the meeting, the Chief Minister observed that timely and professional mannered response of Rescue-1122 during natural calamities and accidents is of vital importance.
It has also been decided in the meeting to enhance the emergency allowance of Rescue 1122 employees so that they are able to perform their duties with hard work and enthusiasm. A summary should be sent to the chief minister’s office in this regard, he said.

He directed the concerned officials to immediately draft and submit a summary for expansion of the rescue services to far-flung areas.
The Chief Minister also gave his approval to start Rescue Scout Training Programme in colleges within the next two months. He also directed to submit a detailed programme for starting helicopter ambulance service in the Punjab province.
The Punjab CM also called the meeting of Punjab Emergency Council next month. He said it was deplorable that its meeting was not called during the last eight years. The past government adopted a wrong attitude with the emergency service by not calling the meeting of Punjab Emergency Council, he added.
