Heres Where Mumbais Movie Theatre Samosas Come From | Part 1 VICE Asia 2024-02-29 | After the India-Pakistan partition, Nevandram Wadhwa moved from Karachi with his sons - Kishinchand Wadhwa (Ganesh’s grandfather), Mohan Singh Wadhwa, Lalchand Wadhwa and Vishindas Wadhwa. In 1968, Nevandram started his samosa business wherein he would carry a basket of fresh samosas on his head from Sion to Kalbadevi everyday. He would sell them and get the money to make his next batch. With the increase in demand, he got a bicycle and then moved to a cart. Eventually, he employed laborers and figured vehicles. Today, 90% of mulitplexes and 80% of single screens across Mumbai serve A1 Samosas, including the ones you get in PVRs and Inox, Maratha Mandir, Gaiety Galaxy, Movie Max, Mukta Cinema etc. Currently, A1 Samosas has a staff of more than 50 people, making more than 12 varieties of samosas and the production rate stands at 12,000-15,000 samosas daily. Till date, at least 50% occupancy in theatres prefer samosas over other snacks. “I’ve had samosas all over Mumbai. There are many competitors of samosa makers which provide samosas at a cheaper rate but I assure you that you no one can even come close to A1 Samosas.” said Farokh, who’s been a canteen manager at Gaiety Galaxy since 1987. “The years 1987 to 1992 was the peak for samosas. A taxi was booked just to deliver samosas show wise. At the time, hits like DDLJ, Hum Aapke Hai Koun, Raja Hindustani, Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, Sadak would play for 20 to 30 weeks in cinemas at full occupancy.” Manoj Desai, Executive Director of G7 Multiplex and Maratha Mandir said, “When I first had the samosas, I loved them so much that I immediately started serving them in my theatres. Sometimes, people would take permission and come in to just buy the samosas. I called up so many theatres and told them about the samosas. Today, A1 is the king of kings.”Click here to SUBSCRIBE to VICE Asia: bit.ly/2LhqAR9 Connect with VICE Asia: Check out our full video catalog: bit.ly/2P3Y0pv Videos, daily editorial and more: http://vice.com/en_asia More videos from the VICE network: fb.com/viceasia/videos Like VICE Asia on Facebook: http://fb.com/viceasia Follow VICE Asia on Twitter: twitter.com/viceasia Follow us on Instagram: instagram.com/viceasia

Walking Through The Worlds Oldest China Town VICE Asia 2024-02-25 | At the height of CNY season Pio Dumayas took a stroll along Binondo, which is often covered by the food vlogger community on social media because of the dozens of restaurants it has to offer. But there's a lot more depth to this place than just food and aesthetic.Because there was already an established Chinese merchant community residing the Philippines well before the Spanish even arrived, Manila's Chinatown was intentionally built right across the Spanish-controlled walled city of Intramuros for the Chinese immigrants who converted to Christianity, whose descendants are now the Filipino-Chinese families of today. It's history is too rich to be covered in one go but eventually, Binondo grew to become city of Manila's center of trade and commerce where you can treat yourself to some authentic Filipino-Chinese cuisine, source merchandise in wholesale, or just get lost in the vibes honestly (responsibly tho 😅).Click here to SUBSCRIBE to VICE Asia: bit.ly/2LhqAR9 Connect with VICE Asia: Check out our full video catalog: bit.ly/2P3Y0pv Videos, daily editorial and more: http://vice.com/en_asia More videos from the VICE network: fb.com/viceasia/videos Like VICE Asia on Facebook: http://fb.com/viceasia Follow VICE Asia on Twitter: twitter.com/viceasia Follow us on Instagram: instagram.com/viceasia

79 Percent Rise In Animal Cruelty And Welfare Cases In 2023: SPCA Singapore VICE Asia 2024-02-20 | Graphic content: viewer discretion advisedIn 2023, Singapore saw an 11-year high in animal cruelty and welfare cases, according to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA). A total of 915 cases were reported, with two main categories: abuse and cruelty, and welfare and neglect.Around two-thirds of the cases fell under the welfare and neglect category, where pet owners failed to provide proper care and basic needs for their animals, resulting in poor living conditions. Some cases involved abandonment, hoarding, and incidents of pets falling from heights due to a lack of proper safety measures.In response to these alarming statistics, the SPCA is advocating for legislative changes to strengthen animal protection in Singapore. These proposed changes include imposing tougher sentences for those convicted of animal cruelty, as well as introducing stricter penalties to address issues of neglect and welfare.Click here to SUBSCRIBE to VICE Asia: bit.ly/2LhqAR9 Connect with VICE Asia: Check out our full video catalog: bit.ly/2P3Y0pv Videos, daily editorial and more: http://vice.com/en_asia More videos from the VICE network: fb.com/viceasia/videos Like VICE Asia on Facebook: http://fb.com/viceasia Follow VICE Asia on Twitter: twitter.com/viceasia Follow us on Instagram: instagram.com/viceasia

Bloodywood Are Taking Indian Metal To The World VICE Asia 2023-12-14 | Bloodywood. The name in itself brings a sense of irony to not just India’s cliche of Bollywood, but perhaps a mainstream understanding of death metal to the average Indian; gory, bloody and devil worship. The three piece metallers from the capital of New Delhi are anything but that. What started out as a parody project from the bedroom of Karan Katiyar, has now evolved into amongst the most exciting new bands from South Asia in the last couple of years, at a time when guitar music is limping its way back into mainstream consciousness.Finding success in parodies of popular Bollywood, desi and sometimes chart-topping pop singles, Bloodywood are now over 100-shows old on American, European and SE Asian shores, with a fraction of those numbers in India. Fresh off the success of their debut record, Rakshak, the band are now winding down after a whirlwind 2022-23, dominating stages across festivals outside of India, a new album in the works and finding a sense of rhythm on the back of their unprecedented success.Upon meeting the three-piece, which morphs into a sextet in its live avatar, the band are undoubtedly desi boys. Their love for leather outfits and ideal BMI percentages; a staple of (most) metalheads, is at par with their love for the dhol and dhoti-clad frontman on stage and butter chicken. The band represents a new wave in the Indian music scene - those who don’t shy away from their Indianness, or look down upon it as being lame. They, however, do not use these elements as cliches or salability factors to Western audiences either, but ask a Bloodywood fan anywhere in the world, and they are into the band for their fun persona, swashbuckling live shows and music that feels right at home. instagram.com/bloodywoodfacebook.com/bloodywood.delhiClick here to SUBSCRIBE to VICE Asia: bit.ly/2LhqAR9 Connect with VICE Asia: Check out our full video catalog: bit.ly/2P3Y0pv Videos, daily editorial and more: http://vice.com/en_asia More videos from the VICE network: fb.com/viceasia/videos Like VICE Asia on Facebook: http://fb.com/viceasia Follow VICE Asia on Twitter: twitter.com/viceasia Follow us on Instagram: instagram.com/viceasia

Inside Thailand’s Tractor Races VICE Asia 2023-11-03 | Off the beaten path in rural Thailand, tractors are more than just farming buddies – they're racing machines. Unknown to many locals themselves, there is a hidden subculture of thrill-seeking farmers and mechanics who modify their vehicles to race each other in muddy rice fields.Traditionally, rice fields were plowed by buffalos, but today, many farmers have made the switch to "Iron Buffalos" or locally crafted tractors that streamline their work.One of the key players in this racing community is Sumaitre ‘Jim’ Fahwan, a mechanic, who started his team nearly two decades ago. VICE joins Jim's crew as they gear up for their next race, delving deep into the need for speed in the world of Thai farming.In Thailand, agriculture isn't just work; it's of utmost importance to the nation, employing about a third of the workforce and underpinning the Thai economy. And tractors are the beating heart of this profession.Click here to SUBSCRIBE to VICE Asia: bit.ly/2LhqAR9 Connect with VICE Asia: Check out our full video catalog: bit.ly/2P3Y0pv Videos, daily editorial and more: http://vice.com/en_asia More videos from the VICE network: fb.com/viceasia/videos Like VICE Asia on Facebook: http://fb.com/viceasia Follow VICE Asia on Twitter: twitter.com/viceasia Follow us on Instagram: instagram.com/viceasia

One of the Worlds Best Healthcare System Is Cracking | Gen Taiwan VICE Asia 2023-10-12 | Taiwan has what is considered one of the world’s best healthcare systems, a single payer system run by the government. Patients pay a premium benchmarked to their income, and co-payments to a general practitioner costs around $2.50. But this low-cost approach is cracking with declining birth rates and an aging population adding more pressure. VICE journeys inside Taiwan’s well-oiled health system to understand why change is needed. @1:02 Due to an error introduced during editing, the sentence should be "Even a large medical center, like our Taipei Veterans General Hospital" and not "centre".@2:29 the cost in USD should be USD 75,000 rather than USD 750,000.

Why This South Korean Man Closes Dog Meat Farm After 30 Years VICE Asia 2023-08-10 | Today is the last day of Boknal, South Korea’s hottest summer days. It’s traditional to eat special dishes during Boknal, including bosintang, a controversial stew containing boiled dog meat. While traditions are valued in the country, the consumption of dog meat is declining as more people view dogs as companions rather than livestock. According to a 2022 poll of 1,514 respondents, 85.5 percent of Koreans said they don’t consume dog meat. Yang Jong-tae, a dog meat farmer in South Korea, closed down his farm in March after running it for 30 years. The decision came after he was contacted by Humane Society International (HSI), a non-profit organization that is currently campaigning across Asia to end the dog meat trade. The rescued dogs from this operation were transported to the U.S. for adoption.Dog meat trade is not illegal in the country. However, discussions about prohibiting it have been going on for years. In 2021, then-president Moon Jae-in brought up the possibility of banning dog meat. Last June, lawmaker Han Jeoung-ae proposed a bill to ban dog meat entirely. But no changes have been made so far. In this video, Yang explains why he’s leaving the industry.
