Asia

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.

Last month, André Chiang announced his upcoming retirement from the front line of the kitchen, officially stepping into the ranks of 'honorably discharged' chefs. From now on, his spatula might only be used to flip through textbooks, rather than food in a frying pan.

When I first flipped and read the novel, Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie, and again as I watched the superb film adaptation starring Johnny Depp years later, I was intrigued by the lavishness of it all.

Of March, I was delighted to attend the "Asia's Best Food Power Women Lunch" at Lolla, a restaurant in Singapore, on the eve of Asia's 50 Best Restaurants awards ceremony.
