| Flights diverted, cancelled as floods swamp Bangkok’s Don Muang Airport Posted: 25 Oct 2011 03:02 AM PDT  Thailand's two low-cost domestic airlines operating out of Don Muang –- Bangkok's secondary airport -- have halted operations there due to the floods. Nok Air announced Tuesday afternoon that all flights from October 25-31 are cancelled. Any aircraft that were in the air at the time of the announcement were diverted to Bangkok's main airport, Suvarnabhumi International, which is still running as usual.

| Michelin stars in the sky: Cathay Pacific's new menu Posted: 25 Oct 2011 01:38 AM PDT  Cathay Pacific Airways is collaborating with Swire Hotels' top restaurants to bring a special inflight menu to their first and business class passengers. It's the latest in the global airline industry's attempts to achieve the impossible: decent airplane food. Even Heston Blumenthal gave it a try as part of his "Mission Impossible" series. From November 1, 2011 to January 2012, several dishes from the menus of Swire Hotels in Hong Kong and Beijing will be available aboard selected Cathay Pacific flights departing from Hong Kong.    |

| Top-end Italian chef training on offer in Tokyo cook-off Posted: 24 Oct 2011 11:59 PM PDT  Mama mia -- free flights to Italy, accommodation and cooking lessons from a top restaurant in Sorrento? Who wouldn't say "grazie -- sign me up please"? That's the prize for the winner of an unusual travel-related competition from the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Japan (ICCJ) that's setting out to find the most creative Italian cuisine chef in the country. With the final set for mid-December, the ICCJ is already accepting applications from chefs under 40 years old who can attend the runoff at the Hattori Nutrition College in Tokyo. All nationalities except Italian are eligible.    |
| Sorry, mate, Australia’s closed this Thursday Posted: 24 Oct 2011 11:41 PM PDT  Over the last week, travel agents have been calling for the federal government to intervene in the ongoing Qantas strikes. But Julia Gillard and her crew have enough worries of their own. Australian customs officials are not showing up to work on Thursday, October 27, in a bid to score a decent pay rise. For international travelers, getting into Australia will be difficult.    |
| Thai flood crisis: Updated info for tourists Posted: 24 Oct 2011 08:01 PM PDT  Bangkok is bracing itself for the worst as floodwater continues to flow into the city, with runoff from the north leaving many roads in the city's Sai Mai, Don Muang, Lak Si and Bang Phlad districts flooded. According to local media reports, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration says 4 billion cubic meters of floodwater from Ayutthaya is expected to reach the capital by Wednesday through the western areas of the city. The problem is, the city can only drain 400 million cubic meters per day, say officials.    |
| Posted: 24 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT 宋代诗人苏东坡曾经写下了"天下酒宴之盛，未有如杭城也"这样的词句，讲的就是杭帮菜。 像东坡肉、叫花鸡、龙井虾仁和西湖醋鱼这样的杭帮名菜，口味都比较清淡；要是再来一壶西湖龙井，看看西子湖的无声美景，那就真是美妙不可言说了。 沪杭高铁把上海到杭州的时间缩短到40分钟。对上海的美食控们来说，杭帮菜的美味也就更近了。 这里是五个在杭州吃杭帮菜的好去处。 1. 山外山特色："摸老老"的传统杭州菜，还有杭州城里城外各个湖里的水产。 这家饭店老早的掌门人是楼外楼的老板。杭州也真是不愧有"山外青山楼外楼"的美名。 虽然山外山的价格不菲，但他们家用的材料新鲜，地址又在杭州植物园里面，周围的田园风光让这顿饭物超所值（人均消费60-100元）。 拉个差头到植物园北门下车，再走上10分钟左右就能到了。天气好的日子，喜欢大自然的朋友可以到山外山2楼的阳台就餐。 必吃菜：配上龙井茶嫩芽炒的龙井虾仁（98元）、叫花鸡（每只98元） 据传说，叫花鸡的名字源自一位乞丐。一天，他偶然得到了一只鸡，想要把它杀了来吃。但他既没有炊具，也没有调料。他来到虞山脚下，把鸡杀死后去掉了内脏，用荷叶包起来，然后再涂上黄泥，并把涂好的鸡放到火上去慢烤。等到泥干鸡熟以后，乞丐再剥去了泥壳。最后，里面的鸡肉极其鲜嫩。这个草根的做法不胫而走，甚至还传到清朝皇帝的耳朵里。 山外山"叫花鸡"的做法是把鸡放在黄酒、糖和酱油中泡上4个小时，然后再包上荷叶放在炉子里烤熟。    |
