| Best Bangkok high-end Thai restaurants Posted: 15 Aug 2011 03:58 AM PDT Independent high-end Thai restaurants don't get the credit they deserve in Bangkok, a city best known for its cheap, delicious street eats. Of course, for a special splurge, five-star hotels like the Dusit Thani and the Mandarin Oriental Bangkok give guests a chance to indulge in top Thai fare made with high-quality ingredients just an elevator ride from their room.

| Full body suits expose Singapore's thin skin Posted: 15 Aug 2011 02:20 AM PDT Don a full body spandex suit in Singapore and you could earn the attention of the boys in blue. A proper shirt and trousers blue, mind you. This possible new oddity in Singapore's straight-laced justice system was discovered last month when two youths clad in a face concealing head-to-toe spandex suits decided to model the new togs at two local shopping malls. According to a report by MyPaper, the pair were spotted and photographed by concerned citizens who submitted the images to citizen-journalism website Stomp.    |
| Inside Chungking Mansions with expert Gordon Mathews Posted: 14 Aug 2011 11:00 PM PDT  I am at Chungking Mansions, a high-rise warren in Tsim Sha Tsui known to contain the cheapest guest houses in Hong Kong, and immortalized as a den of lawlessness in Kar Wai Wong's 1994 movie "Chungking Express."

| Post-quake Japan finally says yes to eating, drinking and making very merry Posted: 14 Aug 2011 09:59 PM PDT With individuals showing "restraint" and everything from firework displays to school trips canceled en masse, things haven't been quite the same with the Japanese economy since the earthquake and tsunami of March 11. On top of the human tragedy, the disasters have been hurting the national bottom line for months. That's why the news announced today that restaurants and bars are finally rebounding has been greeted as something of a minor miracle.    |

| Posted: 14 Aug 2011 03:00 PM PDT After CNNGo readers voted rendang the most delicious food in the world, we thought it was time to give Indonesia's culinary credentials some time in the limelight. Here we run through a mouth-watering array of broth-soaked noodles, fiery curries, banana-wrapped fish and vegetable salads with sweet peanut dressing. Most of the recommended restaurants are in Jakarta, a magnet for Indonesians from all over the archipelago, who naturally brought their cuisine with them.    |

| Don't sweat it: 5 cool oases for the Tokyo summer Posted: 14 Aug 2011 02:55 PM PDT You know how when a Tokyo local comments that the weather is a touch "atsui," what they really mean is that the capital feels like it's been relocated to a desert (possibly one near the sun), all hope has been erased for a decent night's sleep and they would gladly pack up and move to the Arctic -- this afternoon? Well, there's more than a little that can be done about that -- here are five favorite quick stop-offs for a cool afternoon or full day out of the sun and, mostly, well into the air conditioning. 1.
