Savour succulent Asian and<br />
international delicacies<br />
Taste some of the world’s greatest cuisines<br />
and local regional specialities<br />
Asian cuisine is loved the world over thanks to its melting pot of flavours, fragrances and spices.<br />
Each is unique, yet influenced by one another, and nothing beats discovering the finest of feasts at<br />
the very source. Here are some of the exceptional dining experiences on our Asian tours to whet<br />
your appetite. Details of all your included authentic highlight dining experiences are outlined on the<br />
itinerary pages.<br />
China’s culinary variety<br />
No trip to Beijing would be complete without sampling the incomparable Peking Duck at Duck de<br />
Chine, Beijing’s best, most stylish and innovative duck restaurant. In Chengdu, savour the iconic<br />
Hot Pot dish, a pot of hot spicy broth filled with skewers of vegetables and meat. And in Xi’an<br />
sample some of the region’s famous varieties of dumplings.<br />
Vietnamese spice and French flair<br />
Vietnamese culinary tradition infused with French flair is the delicious experience you will<br />
encounter at the Spices Garden at the Sofitel Legend Metropole in Hanoi. From the country’s<br />
famous pho noodle soup to local specialities like Saigon chicken and Hue prawns with lemongrass,<br />
the exotic flavours of Vietnam are all on show in this culinary extravaganza.<br />
Japanese pancakes<br />
Japanese food is more often associated with sushi, sashimi and rice, but its iconic Okonomiyaki,<br />
most renowned in Hiroshima and Kansai, is a delicious savoury pancake. The name is derived<br />
from the word okonomi, meaning ‘what you like’ and yaki meaning ‘grilled’ with the typical<br />
ingredients being layers of cabbage and pork, with optional additions like squid, octopus, noodles,<br />
egg and cheese.<br />
A meal in Burma<br />
Burmese cuisine has been influenced by its neighbours China, India and Thailand yet has retained<br />
unique preparation techniques and distinct flavours. Its diversity has been extended by the myriad<br />
of local ethnic minorities and is characterised by its extensive use of fish products.<br />
A Thai celebration<br />
The Celadon at The Sukhothai in Bangkok was named ‘Best Restaurant in Bangkok’ by Travel<br />
Leisure magazine. Guests will experience a celebration of the senses with this restaurant’s<br />
authentic Thai style and service. This is a once-in-a-lifetime culinary journey experienced in the<br />
