Food porn addicts who religiously tune in to channels such as Asian Food and Food Network Asia will have their fill of frontline food action this August.

StarHub is bringing three of its chefs to Singapore to meet, greet and cook for the public. A fourth, Singaporean-based Dan Segall already performed in July.

A joint cooking exhibition and dining experience, each session will involve a three-course meal - so guests can quiz the chef all about his food.

全球50大美食排行榜

Posted: 01 Aug 2011 09:00 PM PDT

著名作家萧伯纳曾经说过："没有哪一种热爱比对食物的热爱更真挚。" 从世界上各种美食数不胜数的数量来看，他无疑是正确的。

但哪些美食是最美味的呢？为此，我们放眼全球，搜罗出了50种有史以来人们创造出的最佳美味。

当然，有人一定满腹疑问： "怎么炸薯条榜上无名？"这就是我们开通Facebook投票的用意了。

看完这篇文章，就去参加Facebook投票，让我们知道：你最喜欢什么食物？

现在，请你睁大眼睛，控制住口水，因为世界上最美味的食物马上驾到：

50. 美国奶油爆米花

玉米是工业界的主要原料之一，在美食界同样功不可没。甜玉米加大量奶油炒到爆开花，然后在深夜一边看《魔鬼司令》(Commando)，一边将大把甜腻的爆米花塞进嘴里。

49. 印度咖喱土豆卷饼(Masala dosa)

用米糊摊成一张香脆的薄饼，包上辛香的土豆泥，然后蘸着椰子酸辣酱、泡菜、西红柿扁豆酱等佐料吃。这是一种极好的早餐食品，为你提供整个上午的能量，而午餐时你可能还想再来上一份。

Shanghai's Bund skyline to be altered forever

Posted: 01 Aug 2011 08:12 PM PDT

A controversial project is poised to transform the historic Bund and, surprise, not everyone is happy about it

If you enjoy the panorama of the Bund's Art Deco skyline from Lujiazui, gaze upon it as much as possible in 2011. The iconic Shanghai silhouette is going to be dramatically reshaped in the next few years.

Bund SOHO (外滩SOHO), a new property planned to the south of the colonial buildings on the Bund, has caused controversy among Shanghai citizens, according to the Shanghai Oriental Morning Post.

Best Hong Kong beer bars

Posted: 01 Aug 2011 08:00 PM PDT

There is a growing number of Hong Kong beer bars where you can get top-notch brews.

Depending on the hops, yeast and malts used in the brewing process, beer can range from thick, sweet and rich, like the high-alcohol German doppelbock, to crisp, citrusy and bitter like an India Pale Ale (IPA). Along the way there are beers as diverse as lambic (a dry fruit ale made in Belgium) hefeweizen (a perfect refreshing summer treat) and stout (like Guinness, but with many even tastier options).

Craft beers are made in small batches with special attention paid to the quality of ingredients and the nuances of style.

Chandelier grandeur: Bangkok’s vintage hotel lobby bars

Posted: 01 Aug 2011 02:59 PM PDT

Long before downtempo beats in hyper-minimalist lobby bars became the bland norm of modern hotel cool, the glamorous aesthetic of the watering holes for the world's travelers dazzled with gleaming brass, white-crystal chandeliers and shiny faux-marble walls. Full bands performed nightly as guests lounged in leisure suits and miniskirts.

Bangkok circa 1979 had style.

Though many of those bars have disappeared as the years have ticked by and hotels have renovated, there are still a few spots left in the city to experience that fading glory of the late-1970s and early-1980s. Harvey Wallbangers may or may not be served.

Building a Natural History Museum in Singapore is the first great museum idea that we've had in a long, long, long, LONG time. Yes, Marina Bay Sands, we're looking at you.

Over the past month, I've read blogs across the island getting pumped up over fundraising efforts to bring three dinosaur fossils to the museum, which will open in 2014.

Travel wishes come true at India's funkiest shrine

A Muslim shrine in Jamshedpur is filled with passport copies and travel dreams come true

Ask pretty much anyone in the town of Jamshedpur about Passport Baba and they will direct you straight to the dargah, or shrine, of Miskin Shah -- a saint whose specialization is long-distance travel wish-fulfillment.

Maybe you're planning a holiday to a far-flung place, hoping to land a dream job overseas or perhaps you fantasize about relocating to another country one day -- whatever your reason, the divine help of Passport Baba may help.

In fact in Jamshedpur, a major industrial center in Eastern India, they seem almost sure of it.
