Singapore may seem close, but the flight takes more than five hours from Shanghai.A few months ago, aside from attending the Michelin awards ceremony in Singapore, I finally had the chance to visit my old friends — and couple — Francisco and Fernanda at their Chilean restaurant Araya.I first met them when they were head chef and pastry chef at Nappa in Shanghai.

In the recently released Michelin Guide Tokyo 2026, one familiar name popped up in the list of new one-star restaurants—and I nearly jumped out of my chair in delight.
Art hotels go beyond brands and destinations, and always appeal to hospitality enthusiasts, whether they are art aficionados akin to curators or simply laymen who suck luxury.Two distinctively ultra luxury hotels, Le Royal Monceau and the Dolder grand epitomize the art hotel concept.
I’ve always loved trying fusion cuisine, but sometimes it goes wrong—novelty for novelty’s sake. Crony is the opposite: rooted firmly in French technique, showcasing Japanese produce, and taking inspiration from Nordic elements.
In a recent conversation with a chef, I casually asked, “How have things been lately?” He responded with a faint, weary smile, then quietly began talking about the pressure he had been under.
I remember my first visit to Den in Tokyo—it was still at the old location in Jimbocho, before the move to Jingumae.From earning two Michelin stars, losing one, regaining two, to watching its fluctuating rankings on the World’s 50 Best list, I’ve witnessed Den go through many stages over the years.
“This is the kind of Italian cuisine you can only experience in Japan,” I thought to myself. This was at Il Ristorante - Luca Fantin

Traveling a full hour by car into the mountains from central Kyoto to Hirasansou in Shiga Prefecture was all for one reason: the Moon Bear Hot Pot, available only in late autumn and winter.
This wasn’t my first time eating bear meat. I had previously encountered it at the French restaurant L’évo in Toyama. Its abundant gelatin and deep, savory aroma left a powerful impression on me (earned at the cost of a nearly two-hour drive). That experience made me more eager to try Hirasansou’s signature moon bear hot pot.
I spend four months of the year in Milan, five in Shanghai, and the rest traveling around different countries. It’s a lifestyle I feel very fortunate to have. My schedule in Europe is always hectic, but this vivid, unforgettable night in Milan had to be recorded.
No one quite knows when it started, but Asia has been swept up in a Panettone wave in recent years. Just like how the Japanese eat strawberry shortcake at Christmas and Germans enjoy Stollen, Panettone is something Italians can’t celebrate Christmas without.
Returning to Shanghai in the summer, my colleagues scattered across the world gathered to celebrate our company’s 10th anniversary. I wondered what could truly surprise their palates. For the Western bistro, they chose Sage, but what about Chinese food? I wanted something unexpected, something magical that could charm even the pickiest foodies. That’s when “Oriental House” popped into my mind. The fishing season had just started in Taizhou—perfect timing for a visit.

Some restaurants are destined to become legends.From Barcelona Airport, it’s about an hour and a half by car to Girona — a quiet-looking town made famous by El Celler de Can Roca, twice named The World’s Best Restaurant.
