Thankfully our reporter lived to tell the tale. If we had to say one thing about our Japanese language reporter Ikuna Kamezawa, it’s that she loves to travel. If we had to say one more thing about Ikuna, it’s that she loves finding Japanese restaurants in other countries. Whether it’s French ramen or Indian sushi, Ikuna is always happy to chow down on other countries’ takes on Japanese cuisine. Her recent travels took her to the streets of Bangkok, Thailand, although you might be forgiven for initially thinking Ikuna was still somewhere in Japan, given the number of signs written in Japanese in this picture. In fact, something Ikuna finds particularly charming about Bangkok is the abundance of Japanese signs out and about, which at times makes her feel like she’s travelling somewhere closer to home, like Okinawa. But amongst all the Japanese restaurants dotting the streets of Thailand, Ikuna found one spot that managed to ‘out-Japanese’ all the rest; so much so that it felt like someone had teleported it directly from the middle of Osaka. Ikuna had found an izakaya, a Japanese traditional pub. It’s called Ganso Kushikatsu Ebisu Shoten and has a huge neon sign proclaiming the place “a paradise for the common man“. More specifically, the term used for ‘man’ is ‘ossan‘, but ‘paradise for the middle-aged-and-slightly-uncool-common-man’ isn’t quite as punchy in English. The pub specialises in kushikatsu, delicious deep-fried sticks of pretty much anything tasty. And while Ikuna was decidedly not an ossan, she couldn’t say no to a spot of kushikatsu, and decided to check it out. It turned out this place is a paradise for ossan and non-ossan alike, as the restaurant was absolutely packed! By some stroke of luck, Ikuna was able to be seated quickly, but this was one of her first experiences in an izakaya unaccompanied. Izakaya pubs are usually a place to relax with some drinks and share a few nibbles with friends, and Ikuna was a little worried people might judge her for being there by herself. But as she looked around, she saw that she wasn’t the only solo diner there that night. In fact, there were a lot of old guys there by themselves, whom Ikuna suspected were Japanese ossan living in Thailand. Ikuna was ready to order, and she was handed a form written entirely in Japanese. The menu for things available to deep-fry included shrimp, fish, shiitake mushrooms, lotus root, pumpkin and, strangely, popular Japanese sweet Yukimi Daifuku. There was also an a la carte menu with sashimi, pickles, sushi, curry, hot pots, soba noodles… … and rice dishes and tempura were also available to order. To get things started, Ikuna ordered the seared mackerel, which cost 148 baht (US$4.20). While there’s an image of food in Thailand being very cheap, this was around the same price you’d expect to pay for seared mackerel in Japan. It wasn’t just the price that resembled that of Ikuna’s home country, though, but the flavor too, as the dish tasted delicious, just as good as she’d expect it to in a restaurant in Japan! Of course, no trip to the izakaya is complete without a cheeky beer or two, and luckily the Thai izakaya has Asahi Super Dry on tap. One glass cost 135 baht (US$3.84) — again, about what you’d expect to pay in Japan. Next up were the kushikatsu. They were deep-fried to perfection, and looked absolutely divine. They didn’t just look good, though; they tasted amazing, too. In fact, Ikuna thought they tasted better than what most kushikatsu restaurants serve back in Japan. It wasn’t just the kushikatsu that was good, either. Osaka’s famous tonpeiyaki (okonomiyaki with grilled pork) tasted just like it does in Japan. While soy sauce is available pretty much anywhere in the world, okonomiyaki sauce isn’t as easy to get your hands on outside of Japan. But actually, there’s a certain menu on the item that Ikuna had come in specifically to try. The ‘forbidden’ dish on the menu. So forbidden is this dish that it was actually banned from being served in restaurants in Japan back in 2012, after it was deemed unsafe due to the potential risk of E. coli. But in Thailand, a number of restaurants are still serving it, including the izakaya Ikuna was in. The dish in question is… ▼ Liver sashimi – 98 Baht (US$2.78) Liver sashimi, specifically raw cow liver, can’t be sold at restaurants in Japan by law, but it was a very popular dish with salarymen back in the day. If you’ve been missing the delicious, uncooked taste of raw beef liver, this pub might be the perfect place for you — just be aware of the potential health risks. ▼ Raw egg with rice – 68 baht (US$1.93) As well as raw liver sashimi, the restaurant also offers rice with a raw egg on top. Such a dish is commonplace in Japan, but in some other countries eating a raw egg is absolutely unthinkable. Ikuna was pretty surprised that she was able to eat raw egg in a tropical country like Thailand, and got so excited that she ended up doing what most people do when they visit an izakaya, and got pretty tipsy. All in all, Ganso Kushikatsu Ebisu Shoten was like a little piece of Japan right in the heart of Bangkok. Even as she looked around, about 70 percent of the customers in the izakaya that day were from Japan, and the room was filled with people chatting happily in Japanese. Ikuna suspected around half of the Japanese customers were people who lived in Thailand, and for those missing home-country grub, this izakaya must be, as the sign outside said, a paradise for them. If you’re in Bangkok and are craving for some decent Japanese food, check out Ganso Kushikatsu Ebisu Shoten. If the pub is full to the brim with ossan and doesn’t have any available seats, though, this philosophical Japanese restaurant located nearby might have a table or two free.

The embattled chief executive officer of cryptocurrency hedge fund Three Arrows Capital is looking to sell his S$48.8 million Good Class Bungalow (GCB) in Singapore after his company entered liquidation late last month. The GCB is located at Yarwood Avenue in Bukit Timah, and sits on a 31,854 sq ft 999-year leasehold plot, according to The Straits Times (ST). Bought GCB last year in a trust under three-year-old son's name Zhu, who turned 35 in April 2022, was born in China, moved to the U.S. at age six, and has been a citizen of Singapore since 2016, according to Bloomberg. He made headlines in late 2021 after he and his wife, Tao Yaqiong Evelyn, bought the bungalow in a trust under their three-year-old son's name. The purchase of the bungalow was completed in March 2022, at a per sq ft price of S$1,532. Photo via Google Street View. Zhu's wife and their son are Singapore citizens as well. The Yarwood house, according to Bloomberg, is still undergoing renovations. A text message circulating among property agents reported by ST indicated that there was a "very urgent sale" for a GCB in Yarwood, and that the owners were looking to "sell fast". According to ST, selling a property within three years of purchase could result in an additional 12 per cent seller's stamp duty (SSD) that the owners have to pay. Zhu currently resides in a strata landed home in Balmoral Road, which was bought under Zhu's name. The couple also own another GCB in the Dalvey Estate, under Tao's name. The 15,565 sq ft property was purchased in September 2020 for S$28.5 million, according to ST. Three Arrows Capital files for bankruptcy, reprimanded by MAS According to The Business Times on Jul. 2, the Singapore-based Three Arrows Capital filed for a bankruptcy petition. This was after a British Virgin Islands court ordered for the company's liquidation at the end of June 2022. On Jun. 30, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) reprimanded Three Arrows Capital for providing false information to MAS and exceeding the amount of funds it was allowed to manage. The regulatory body is looking into whether there have been more breaches by the hedge fund. Three Arrows was one of the world's largest hedge funds, according to Bloomberg. Earlier in March this year, it managed a portfolio of about US$10 billion (S$14 billion). Cause of downfall The firm's downfall was caused by the crypto crash, which started by the collapse of the “algorithmic stablecoin” Terra in May and the failure of the crypto bank Celsius in June, The Guardian reported. Three Arrows Capital (3AC) had been deeply invested in a number of troubled cryptocurrency projects, including Terra, as well as Axie Infinity, a “play to earn” game that lost almost US$700 million (US$977 million) to a hack from North Korea in 2021, and BlockFi, a centralised cryptocurrency exchange that laid off hundreds of staff in mid-June. The company also had sizeable leveraged investments in Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrency assets, all of which have seen falls of up to 60 per cent in the first half of 2022. https://mothership.sg/2022/07/zhu-su-three-arrows-selling-gcb/

Totally Made Up A mysterious Chinese Wikipedia contributor who goes by the alias "Zhemao" spent ten years making up fictional accounts of Russian history, writing over 200 articles, and contributing to hundreds of others, Chinese English-language publication Sixth Tone reports. Wikipedia editors have since noticed the falsified accounts — after ten years of unknowingly hosting their contributions — and promptly banned them from the online encyclopedia. The web of lies Zhemao created is an astonishing body of work in and of itself, albeit entirely made up. Their contributions range from fictional accounts about Slavic rivalries to stories about Qing Dynasty officials — a dizzying mishmash of fantastical fiction and history worthy of a series of fantasy novels. At the end of the day, you gotta respect the hustle. Fact Check It's also a colorful reminder of the fact that we can't take everything we read online for granted, particularly when it comes to often dubiously sourced Wikipedia entries. And that's particularly relevant, given China's problematic history with controlling the historical narrative using propaganda (in fact, Sixth Tone itself is overseen by the Chinese government). "Chinese Wikipedia entries that are more detailed than English Wikipedia and even Russian Wikipedia are all over the place," fantasy novelist Yifan, who stumbled upon Zhemao's fictional Wikipedia contributions, wrote in a Q&A online, as translated by Sixth Tone. "Characters that don’t exist in the English-Russian Wiki appear in the Chinese Wiki, and these characters are mixed together with real historical figures so that there’s no telling the real from the fake," he added. Telling Lies After Wikipedia noticed the ruse, Zhemao published a public apology. "As the saying goes, in order to tell a lie, you must tell more lies," the apology reads, as translated by Sixth Tone. "I was reluctant to delete the hundreds of thousands of words I wrote, but as a result, I wound up losing millions of words, and a circle of academic friends collapsed." The story leaves us plenty of questions: what were Zhemao's actual motives? Did the fictional narratives ever have any actual real-world consequences? Perhaps, had Zhemao chosen a different way to disseminate their work, we'd be reading their historical fiction novels by now — rather than an apology to Wikipedia.
