KUALA LUMPUR: Southeast Asia's demand for electricity has surpassed those of other regions globally, rising by an average of more than 6.0 per cent annually over the past two decades. According to the International Energy Agency, electricity consumption in Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand cumulatively account for more than 80 per cent of total electricity demand in the region, amid growing ownership of household appliances and increasing consumption of goods and services. Although the region is one of a select few where coal-fired power generation has been expanding, the dynamics are expected to change in a few decades as governments in the region look towards increasing Renewable Energy (RE) share in the power mix.

... and brought a new twist in dining to Dunedin's Grand Casino. Architecture and culinary creation might seem poles apart as career choices, but when Leo Park was advised to ‘retire' from his architectural job in South Korea, he transitioned into cooking – eventually landing an executive chef's position at Dunedin's Grand Bar and Restaurant in the Grand Casino. Think about the vision and skill required to create buildings and what's inside them, and it's not hard to see a comparison with a chef's skill to devise a dish, create it, then plate it.

On an even deeper level, though, the phrase connotes a shared feeling of cheer and human warmth: a kind of bonhomie born from shared hunger and the anticipation of a sizzling, well-cooked skewer.   No wonder then that barbecue, or s haokao (烧烤), is ubiquitous throughout China. It is cheap, messy, hands-on, full-contact eating, and about as far from white-tablecloth dining as is possible to get. Here's the lowdown on Zibo barbecue and China's other major regional variations: Zibo became a tourism hotspot after videos of its barbecue went viral online (Credit: CFOTO/Future Publishing via Getty Images) Zibo-style barbecue ( 淄博烧烤 ) Zibo barbecue offers a veritable menagerie of skewered meats (skin-on pork belly is the style's sine qua non), delivered to the table with stacks of chewy, tortilla-like flour wrappers and piles of sweet Shandong spring onions.
