Magic in chinatown – the inspiration

Warm greetings to all of you.

Did you ever ask yourself  how the Manga Street got so attractive. It was not just the paintings and the hard work implemented. It was also the immense love of the comics shared by the people that  elevated the image of this street again. What if, there could be more? What if you could dream more?  What if you could in some way embrace magic in the streets of Chinatown. I, Mohammad Jalloud Abdool Cader Fakeermahamod, am going to tell you what made me feel that Chinatown could use some of the magic from the wizarding world of Harry Potter.

Yes, you read that right. Harry Potter will not just be limited to the movies and books only. You will be able to physically touch the trolley entering the nine and three quarter platform. What a scene that was in the 2001 movie! Need a memory refresh of what I am talking about. No problem; 

                                                                      
 
Unfortunately Daniel Radcliff will not be there but you will be there take his place and click a picture with the trolley.

                                          
 
The story of this boy has fascinated millions of fans worldwide and needless to say thousands of mauritians are ‘potterheads’,including me. Nowadays, fictional stories have a massive place in the hearts of mauritians. The Manga Street is an example. People just cannot resist this street due to its outstanding artwork. Apart from the Manga comics, Thor’s magic hammer is also illustrated on the walls and I could not help but notice that many people were placing their hands on the hammer, giving the effect that they are actually holding it. This got me thinking. What if they could really interact with an ‘art’? What if they could actually hold it as well? Then, the idea of the magical wall popped into my mind. It was at this moment I got inspired to bring this scene to life. This trolley will not just be an attraction. It represents the childhood of many mauritians. It is a dream, and hopefully, it will become a reality…

Mister Chu

Chu Fung Leung, well known for the large selection of Hakka mooncakes, is where good taste & happiness are merged from just one bite. Are you ready to bite into the delicious and scrumptious cakes of the Chu family?   Evolution of the business In 1936, KoungKoung (grand father) Chu came to our small island from Meizhou (梅州), also known as Moyenne, by boat. Like many other Chinese migrants, he had to work until he had enough money to make his wife come from China in 1938. With his knowledge of making Chinese cakes in a pastry shop in China, he opened his first dream shop in 1942 on Royal Street (Rue Royale).  He then passed on his knowledge to his son, Hoeng Kue(2nd generation) still in his 80s, who later took over the business when he passed away in 1972. After a fire incident in 2013, Mister Chu is now located in the corner of Emmanuel Anquetil street (Rue la Rampe) and Venpin street (Manga street). As Mr Bernard Chu (3rd generation) said: "Mister Chu is popular for its chine

Sino-Mauritian Specialties

Today I am going to share with you some of the delicacies that can be found in our Chinatown. Did you know that some of our local cuisine are unique? Let me tell you why... Even though these recipes were brought by our ancestors from China when they came to Mauritius, over the years they have been adjusted and are now typical Chinese Mauritius food. Niouk yen Niouk yen, also known as "boulette chouchou" is a steamed dumpling. It is made from chayote or what we call "chouchou" in Mauritius, thus the name "boulette chouchou". The chayote will be mixed with some meat (pork or chicken) and dried shrimp to make the niiouk yen but it can also be made without meat. I believe most if not all Mauritans would have tasted it. If you haven’t, I would highly recommend you to try it; it can be found in most snacks and restaurants around Chinatown.  Siu mai (燒賣) Another popular delicacy is Siu mai, also known as Sao Mai in Mauritius. It is a Cantonese dumpling and is one

Sharing the making of Tangloon

Image
The New Chinatown Foundation is a non profit organisation with the main aim to revive Chinatown. In 2018, with the participation of a Chinese artist, Mr. Yan Jing, Tangloon, the biggest eco-friendly dragon in Africa made up of recycled plastic bottles was born in Chinatown. This year, we are renovating Tangloon with the help of Sov Lanatir and Nos Enfants de Demain. In line with our mission to promote our cultural heritage, we decided to share the making of Tangloon with our children, the leaders of tomorrow and thus visited the Villiers Rene Government school, one of the oldest and well known primary school located in the capital of Mauritius. What a warm welcome from both the staff and the students of this prestigious school. The kids were full of excitement and what wonderful moments were spent with the children. Our team members taught the children how to assemble and put together the cut plastic bottles to make the different part of the dragon.
