With more and more healthcare applications being developed for smartphones, it’s time to tap your way to great health. Last year, users were spoilt for choice with 10,000 such applications – twice the number from the year before.

Many of these are reference apps providing information on health issues, such as the signs and symptoms of diabetes. Other apps are more interactive, allowing users to personalise the advice and patients to monitor their own conditions. 

Healthcare apps are great at providing quick, crucial access to information, especially for people on the move or those with existing conditions. Such apps also promote a strong sense of self-involvement towards general health and well-being.

But not all the medical information out there is reliable. There is no central authority monitoring the medical accuracy of healthcare apps. So it may be difficult for the average...

It was pure luck that I chanced upon this unassuming shop tucked in a corner along the busy street in Shanghai. Highly recommended by my friend, I had initially included this signature dish as part of my “To Eat” itinerary. But due to my tight schedule, I thought I had to give it a miss.

Staying in what I believe to be an excellent location, the popular Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street was just a few skips away. Following a friend’s recommendation, I meticulously strolled along the crowded street while keeping an alert eye out for No.720 Nanjing East Road. Thankfully, it was not a hard find and soon I found myself queuing up for my first item on my “To Eat” list. Yang’s Fried Dumpling (小杨生煎)!

The well-liked Yang’s fried dumplings (RMB6 for 4 pieces) were slightly bigger than our familiar version known as Guo Tie锅贴. It’s shaped like a small bun and the slight irregular surface incited my burning desire to know how the filling will taste like.
