Hometown Glory
Joining actors Takeshi Kitano (Tokyo) and Lee Byung-Hun (Seoul) as featured guests in Louis Vuitton's new collection of City Guides is Singapore playwright Michael Chiang. "Every Singaporean is a food vigilante," quips Chiang in the updated 2017 edition. "We will loudly declare what we like and dislike. I particularly love that you can eat cheaply and you can dine fancy, and both would still be meals to write home about." Apart from divulging his favourite dining spots and haunts, he also recommends local brands worth getting. The City Guides are available at Louis Vuitton stores and bookshops, and also as an App.
