Jonathan is quite an adventurous eater. Originally from America, he moved here two years ago to be with his girlfriend; he gives durian the thumbs up, but says he will never go near stinky tofu again, a local dish made up of fermented beancurd with a rather disagreeable odour. He’s had worse, though. “The worst thing I’ve ever eaten was in Africa. It was something so disgusting you can’t even imagine it,” he says. “I’m not going to go into detail, but let’s just say pigs organ soup would be nothing compared to it.” Beyond food, he spends quite a big portion of his time outside of work with his girlfriend, doing impromptu shoots for their Instagram accounts. Their outfits are well-documented on their pages, and we think Jonathan’s ensemble today would make the cut; it’s not very often that we spot a guy in properly fitted shirt and pants, with a tie clip as a nice, extra touch. “I miss being able to wear suits,” he says. “But I’ve come to accept the heat here.” To the men who have used the weather as an excuse — take note.
