"At my audition for MasterChef, they asked us to choose a judge, who then offered us three options for the entrance test to the program," Farah Raslan says, as she recalls one of the formative moments of her life. "I chose chef Haim Cohen, and the options he gave me were kebab, sofrito or knafeh. I chose knafeh and the rest is history," she says. "I took my childhood dish from Lebanon, added my own interpretation, and I reached the quarter final." For Farah Raslan, a local internet star in the culinary field whose Instagram page boasts 41,000 followers, everything begins and ends with knafeh. She opened a stall at the Agamon Market in northern Israel dedicated to the dessert, first and foremost to "kaak knafeh," served in a"beigeleh" – a sesame seed coated Arab pretzel commonly found in local markets. Why knafeh, specifically? "It is a very famous dish in Lebanon. You can find it on every street corner. I miss Lebanon and my fami...

China's rich are moving their money to Singapore. Beijing's crackdown is one of the reasons - CNBC

Image
As Beijing pushes for "common prosperity" and political turmoil threatens Hong Kong, Singapore has become a safe harbor for some of the region's wealthiest tycoons and their families. Wei Leng Tay | Bloomberg | Getty Images More and more wealthy Chinese are worried about keeping their money on the mainland and some see Singapore as a safe haven. Since protests disrupted Hong Kong's economy in 2019, affluent Chinese have looked for alternative places to store their wealth. Singapore proved attractive because of its large Mandarin Chinese-speaking community and, unlike many countries, it doesn't have a wealth tax.  The trend appeared to pick up last year after Beijing's sudden crackdown on the education industry and emphasis on "common prosperity" — moderate wealth for all, rather than just a few.  That's according to CNBC's interviews with firms in Singapore that are helping wealthy Chinese move their assets to the ...

Image

This year's National Cupcake Day was an exceptionally sweet one for the local OSPCA. "We're currently at $11,388.30 and some businesses continue to run fundraisers through the month of March, so I hope to reach $12,000," Midland Animal Centre community development coordinator Robin Elliott said.

This year's campaign received major helping hands from a trio of bakers, including 11-year-old Abbie MacLean, who raised $3,130 during the cupcake event. Local OPP officer Sam Sothourn raised $2,150, and Keltie Smith from Sweet Tooth Cupcakes raised $5,330. Elliott said funds will be used for general animal care and any major cases that come the shelter's way. "We are also currently t...
