TAIWAN - TAIPEI - Bistronomic art at RAW
First, thereâs a striking beautiful interior, wooden, minimalist, all in curves. Then the lovely details like the cutlery hidden inside youâre tableâs secret drawer. This tastefully designed restaurant has the atmosphere of an art gallery while itâs all about gastronomy. Or âbistronomyâ more precisely, meaning affordable gastronomic french style cuisine with a Taiwanese twist. No surprise as itâs been conceptualised by famous âborn in Taiwanâ and âmade in Franceâ Chef AndrĂ© Chiang. Creative and spontaneous, thatâs how he and his local team led by Chefs Zor Tang and Alain Huang wanted RAWâs menu to sound like. Highlighting seasonal produce, what comes on your plate carry exciting names like âUni Hokkaido Peanut Butter Peasâ, âSakura Ebi Cappelliniâ or âChocolate Burnt Butter Mochiâ. Their daring mantra âNever be afraid to make mistakesâ has worked as they donât seem to have made any.  Since they first opened a year ago, Raw has became one of the most sought-after restaurants in Taipei.  Rare are the Chefs youâd follow anywhere they settle a business. AndrĂ© is one of them. Singapore, check, Taipei, check, Paris, next.
ASK : your way to the restroom, a must-see⊠Kidding aside, make sure to make your reservation early in advance. If not, you might have a chance on waiting list. Until January 10th theyâll only be serving a âbest of the year menuâ. Website Maps

TAIWAN - TAIPEI - Warm up in Beitou
Or shall I say get really really hot? Only 20 minutes away from downtown Taipei, Beitou neighborhood is (not well) known (enough) for its incredible hot springs. Up to 100 degrees Celsius water boiling underground. Much loved by the Japanese who installed public baths during the occupation era, this also former red light district has been revamped and offers quite a few hidden gems. So jump on a scooter taxi (Beitou is the only district in Taipei where you can find some), ride through lush green sceneries, and soak into those hot springs believed to carry healing virtues.Â
Solo Singer - One of a kind in Taipei
Nestled between narrow back lanes and old houses, Solo Singer is a âSlow Lifeâ hotel with a warm feeling. The curators have preserved the original space of what used to be a 1960âČs Inn, and kept vintage items from its previous life. Rooms inspired by Virginia Woolfâs A Room of Oneâs Own were designed by 18 different artists, we canât thank them enough for having created such unique shelters. Solo Singer is not only a hotel, but a cafĂ© as well (Solo Singer Life), hosting local and cultural exhibitions. B&B concept has never felt so good, and creative. And in matter of good (food) advices, friendly Heather, Anny & Co would be your best partners in crime. ASK : For a non Japanese room if youâre not used to lying down on a wooden floor with a very (very) thin mattress. Website Maps
The Small White Room
Solo Singer Life - Fan Tuan for breakfast
On your way to (or on your way back from) Beitou Spring, grab a drink at the Cai Yuan Yi stall. Thereâs always a little line of people waiting to get one of the best sweet and refreshing black teas in town. Maps
Ice Tea at the Cai Yuan Yi stall
Beitou Spring
Nothing fancy in here, but the place is better maintained than Long Nai Tang (the oldest hotspring in Beitou). Thereâs a complementary fish spa upstairs and not so cosy private bathing rooms. So Iâd recommend to jump into the public ones downstairs for a true local experience. Youâll have to go naked, girls and boys separated of course. Maps
Fish Spa at Beitou Spring
Beitou Library
If youâre not into hot springs, but more into books and/or architecture, another good reason to go to Beitou is to visit its public âGreenâ library. Get your hands on one of the few books in English and relax on the open air balcony. MapsÂ
Beitou Hot Spring Museum
In the Hot Spring Park youâll also find the Hot Spring Museum. Originally built to house Beitouâs first public bath house, this âTaisho Romanâ historical monument officially reopened as the cityâs hot spring museum. Relics found by the locals before renovation are still displayed in the pool. Architecture lovers hereâs another one for you. Maps
Millennium Hot Spring
Take a walk around the Thermal Valley or so called âHell Valleyâ where you can watch sulfur water steaming out of a volcanoâs crater. Maps
If not discouraged, you might want to take another bath. Head to the outdoor Millennium Hot Spring then, where youâre obliged to wear a swimsuit this time. Plunge into various pools which temperatures increase as you get to the top. I confess not being able to stay more than one minute in the 45 °C one. A fun experience though. Maps
Marshal Zen Garden
If youâre looking for something posher, Marshal Zen Garden located next to the Beitou Museum on top of the hills has a wonderful view. Former residence of military leader Marshal Zhang Xueliang, this property now offers fine dining and luxury private hot spring rooms overlooking the valley. But if you only want to get your feet wet, itâs possible. Maps
Foot Bath at Marshal Zen Garden
Not quite the same atmosphere, but if youâd rather stay in Beitouâs bustling area, thereâs a free public foot bath in Fuxing Park.
MapsÂ
That would give you the opportunity to stop by North Pole Soft Ice and taste one of Ashinâs (the famous taiwanese lead singer of the rock band Mayday) favorite sweet treats. Maps
Wuâs beef noodles
Whereas most of the restaurants close early in Beitou, Wu opens daily from 12 am to 12 pm. Itâs crowded during peak hours but that would be the right moment to go, to mix with the locals. And to meet Kerry, the ladyâs whose family have been owning this restaurant since 1980. Indoor or Outdoor, the place is bursting with energy. I have a preference for the outdoor tables, as you can watch the cooks prepare fresh noodles. ASK : For some Wanton as well. In their own style, theyâre as good as the beef noodles.
Another side of bustling Beitou, the market with its street food and the famous local tempuras. Not to be mistaken with the Japanese ones, the Taiwanese tempuras are more âfish ballâ like. Maps
From Beitou Market, on your way to A-Jen Bakery, catch a glimpse of what used to be old Beitou on Zhong Zhen Old Street.

JAPAN - 1 DAY IN KYOTO
The reason that motivated me to visit Kyoto is⊠a flea market. We all have our silly whims donât we... And a desire to learn more about old Japan history of course. Cause in Kyoto, once Japanâs Imperial capital,  you really do feel like time travelling.So there I went, took my Shinkasen ticket from Tokyo (200 euros for a round trip but itâs worth it) and spent a day only. Although I wish I had more time to explore, The âcity of the ten thousand shrinesâ obviously led me to its marvelous temples. But also to a few good lifestyle surprises, like relaxing in an old coffee-shop with a âBreakfast at Tiffanyâsâ atmosphere, or eating a delicious japanese style stuffed omelet in a cosmetic brand restaurant.
JAPAN - Â TOKYO IN 3 DAYS
Fascinating, moving, endearing, puzzling, those words are not enough to describe how amazing Tokyo is. Fall is one of the best seasons to visit, the weather still allows you to take naps in sunny parks under green, golden and red trees. Here, youâll sometimes feel like youâre on another planet and a bit in France also curiously, as it's not unusual to see bakeries and boutiques carrying french names (spelled in a funny way). I wonât lie, I spent more than 3 days in Tokyo, incidentally scenic beauty remains on my mind. In my experience, hereâs some of the best of what this incredible city has to offer. A 3 day journey as complete as possible.Â
DAY 1 -Â Early breakfast Sushi and old Tokyo promenade
Start the day with an early breakfast at the must-visit Tsukiji Fish market. Stroll unhurriedly around Asakusa (Senso-ji thunder god temple), Ueno Park and Yanaka neighborhood to catch the best of old Tokyo.
Tsukiji fish market
This place could make the Sashimi addicts collapse. Tsukiji is a market where youâd spend hours. First of all if you choose to eat at the renowned and famous Sushi Dai or Sushi Daiwa youâre likely to literally queue for hours (especially if you go at dawn). But besides, wandering around the stalls, fish or not ( thereâs even a cheese boutique) is a must do in Tokyo. For the completely addicts, you can attend the tuna auctions at 5 am. If not, going for breakfast at 8 or 9 is early enough. ASK : your way to Sushi Zanmai to avoid a long queue. Here no translation necessary as you pick plates from a conveyor belt. Spot the âOtoroâ the best part of the tuna. A bit more expensive but where else in the world would you eat this quality of fish (fresh off the boat)? Maps
Senso-Ji & Asakusa
Asakusa neighborhood might remind you of some stereotypes seen in classic japanese movies or Miyazaki animation films. Old Tokyo is here, with the souvenir shops in bonus. All of that on you way to the impressive Thunder Gate and the Senso-ji (the cityâs most visited temple) surrounded by beautiful little gardens. ASK : This is where to buy Kimonos, Yukatas (the summer version of kimono), flip flops⊠Those are not so easy to find elsewhere in Tokyo. Senso-Ji MapsÂ
Ueno Park
Ueno Park is simply beautiful and has a lot to offer. Walk around the temples (Tennoji, The five storey pagoda..) and couple your visit with a museum or two, (Tokyo national museum, Tokyo metropolitan art museum or The National Museum of Western Art designed by Le corbusierâŠ) Itâs huge, thereâs even a Zoo here, and in spring youâd get a perfect picture of Hanami (Cherry Blossom). Ueno Park Maps
Museum of Western ArtÂ
Lunch in old town Yanaka
Yanaka is a must-visit after a walk in Ueno Park. This beautiful neighbourhood that carries the traces of old Edo with its numerous little temples and traditional houses has survived  the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and damage from World War II. Its inhabitants have been fighting the disappearance of historic buildings ever since. Here, even the Yanaka Cemetery has got charm. The best way to discover the area is to explore randomly, but youâll certainly need some breaks, here are 3 eating and chilling landmarks.
Kayaba Cafe, revamped Kissaten
Mirror ceiling and retro decor coupled with the traditional design of an old kissaten (tea room) give a unique atmosphere to this coffee shop. The place was recently transformed but first opened in 1938 and local people of all ages are regulars. You might wait a tiny bit for lunch but the homemade dishes (2 choices that change everyday) are worth the try. ASK: For the white chocolate and green tea cake. Goes well with the (too?) strong coffee they make. Website Maps
Kayaba bakery
Masami Shiraishi wears two hats, owner of the renowned âSCAI the bathhouseâ gallery, (he was one of the firsts to show Takashi Murakamiâs work), he also fullfills his passion for food by owning Kayaba Cafe and Kayaba Bakery. Just opened in spring, this little gem shares premises (think wooden houses from early 20th century) with a yoga room, a craft beer bar and an olive oil shop. Youâll essentially find bread here, fougasse type. Nothing Japanese  except the fact that they are made by a Japanese Baker. ASK: For the little Olive and cheese bread. Website Maps
Kokonn
On your way renting a bike at âTokyo Bike Galleryâ, youâll find this lovely boutique selling little antiques, japanese crafts and ceramics. Yanesen neighbourhood doesnât lack of cute little places but this one has the advantage of combining cafe and shop. Kokonn is located in the epicentre of the old temples area. A great place to chill and relax. ASK: For the green tea matcha french toast or an ice cream from âFrance dessertâ. Facebook Maps
DAY 2 -Â Mori Museum, Tokyo City View and trendy Omotesando
Start the day with a museum overlooking the city in Roppongi. Then lunch, shopping and dinner in the trendy Omotesando area.
The Sun Café
Mori Art Museum & Tokyo City View
A Murakami exhibition runs until march 6th 2016.
In the heart of Tokyo, this city observation deck perched on the 52th floor of the Mori Tower is one of Asiaâs greatest. First because itâs incredibly cosy (they installed a library and even a Ruinart champagne bar with a glass at 15 euros). If youâre lucky enough (mostly on clear winter days), youâll catch a sight of mount Fuji. And 2nd because the ticket also gives you access to the very modern Mori (contemporary) Art Museum on the 53rd floor. Within this two floor experience, relax with a coffee at Cafe The Sun and shop some design souvenirs at the museum boutique. ASK : Before or after your visit, Donât forget to pass by âMamanâ the Louise Bourgeois monumental spider sculpture. Mori Art Museum - Website Maps
Tokyo City View
Lunch at Maisen
Maisen⊠well simply the best tonkatsu I ever ate. Since 1965, they have been serving this deep fried breaded pork cutlets. You can actually get a bit lost with all the varieties on the menu, if so just order the Kurobuta Tonkatsu (black pork), their signature dish. Iâll go for the fillet. You can also opt for the donburi (rice bowl), though the meat is less crunchy. For this unique pork experience, prepare to queue at pick hours. ASK : For the Tonkatsu sauce they sell at their delicatessen. Maisen Omotesando - Maps Website
Omotessando Koffee
Owner Eiichi Kunitomo, a Barista since 15 years, revamped a 1950 japanese home into a tastefully minimalist styled espresso and coffee kiosk. Zip the delicious coffee on a bench in their tiny tiny garden. Maps
The Airstream Garden
If Omotesando Koffee is too crowded, The Airstream Garden garden nearby is a good alternative. Opposite Decor and atmosphere though. Choose to have your coffee inside or outside a trailer. Nomad american philosophy in Tokyo, why not! Facebook
Breizh CafĂ© Still have some room for dessert after Maisen? une crĂȘpe chez Breizh then? This french institution has actually opened its first outlet in Tokyo in the 90âs first. ASK : For the crĂȘpe suzette or how not to feel guilty eating alcohol. Maps
Shopping, shopping
Around the metro Meijijingu-Mae, start shopping at Laforet Harajuku. This multy-level department store gathers brands by japanese designers mainly. Eccentric fashion but not only. Itâs gigantic, so you might need to take a break at some of their indoor cafes. Continue towards Chicago for vintage kimonos, dresses and jeans. Then wander around Shibuya Cat, the trendy street where youâll find the concept store United arrows (for high quality lifestyle as they say), W Closet for women casual, and Brand my star or Ragtag for other vintage hunting (more likely luxury brands this time). ASK : Your way to Ray Cassin & Germe my favs for girls at Laforet. Maps Laforet Maps Chicago Maps Ragtag
United Arrows
Ramen dining -Â Oreryu Shio ramen
A Tokyo foodista experience wouldnât be complete without a stopover at a ramen vending machine. Here they have unusual ramen varieties. ASK : for the pork and lemon ramen, dreaming of it right now.
DAY 3 - Boho brunch, minimalist aesthetics and true japanese experience
Start with a Boho brunch at the Farmerâs market (weekend only), drop by the Pool Aoyama on your way to the magnificent Nezu Museum. Bath like a japanese at Shimizu Yu Onsen and fill your stomach at Itasoba Kaoriya to finish the day.
Farmerâs market at UNUÂ
This market pops up every weekend from 10am to 4pm. Around 60 smallholders from all over the country gather to sell their organic and pesticide free products. Love the food trucks.
Youâll also be able to find ceramics and other handicraft gems, and japanese stalls with french names (of course). ASK : to taste everything, this is foodie paradise. Maps
The Pool Aoyama
This place is a delight to the eyes. An ancient pool in a 1970âs apartment block converted into a boutique. Menâs streetwear mostly. Website Maps
Nezu Museum
Calligraphy, painting, sculpture⊠Nezu Museum hosts an important collection of japanese and asian pre-modern art. 7 items have been designated as National Treasures. This former home to a wealthy industrialist collectionner is also worth the go for its coffee shop overlooking a beautiful garden. Minimalist design embraces traditional Japan. Architect Kuma Kengoâs intention was to create an experience of Wa, that stands for harmony. ASK : For the cake of the day after a look at the outstanding pieces of art. Checking the museumâs boutique might also be useful to bring some presents back home.
Website Maps
Shimizu Yu Onsen
Bathing naked with strangers might sound like a funny thing to do⊠But sinking into japanese hot springs (believed to have healing powers) is an incredible experience if youâre not too shy to do so. Shimizu Yu Onsen is not far from downtown, and features indoor baths and an outdoor bath with water with a different mineral composition and temperatures (a gold one and a black one).  How delightful to relax on the long chairs outside after bath. ASK : to rent towels or buy soap at the reception if youâre not bringing yours. And be careful to follow the whole protocol before bathing. Maps
Shop at the Onsen
Soba dinner at Itasoba Kaoriya
Time has seemed to stop in this chic noodle canteen. All wooden and simple, this Soba paradise located near Ebisu MRT is a hideaway from bustling Tokyo. And everything is about details, like the peanut that serves as a chopstick holder. ASK : for the soba with the sesame dipping. Dreaming of it right now. And for the âSoba youâ (the hot water used to boil the noodles). Poured into the rest of your dipping itâs now a broth for you to drink. Maps
HOTEL?
CLASKA
Hotels in Tokyo are expensive, so unless youâre willing to stay in something not so tastefully designed or pay for a Palace downtown, hereâs an alternative : Claska. Located within 10 minutes walk from Gakugeidaiku MRT in Meguro, this 1969 building was converted in 2003 into Tokyoâs first boutique hotel, contemporary with a japanese twist. Plus, they rent Tokyo bikes. Donât forget to visit their shop and gallery called âDoâ. And to go up to their wide terrasse, from where you can see the Mount Fuji in winter, well if the weather allows... ASK : For a DIY room. Handmade by a japanese designer, from construction to design. (around 110 euros for a double). Website Maps
ONE LUNCH ONLY OR TEA TIME ?
Higashiya Ginza
If you had time for only one lunch in Tokyo, besides going for Tonkatsu at Maisen, Iâd recommend Higashiya in Ginza. For a refined lunch in a modern style tea house. Part a confectionery shop, the atmosphere here is so serene you could levitate. The typical menu (less than 30 euros) includes 2 types of tea, 2 starters, a main dish, brown or white rice, pickles, miso soup and a wagashi (the famous japanese confectionery). Products are seasonal here, meaning you wonât enjoy a strawberry mochi in november but most likely a candied persimmon. ASK : for what alcohol goes best with your wagashi if youâre not too âteaâ. Website Maps
Candied Persimmon Wagashi
MISS FRANCE?
La brasserie de lâInstitut Français
Surrounded by a peaceful garden, this brasserie bistronomique for lunch or brasserie gastronomique for dinner would fulfill a french meal desire. Jean-Jacques Garnier, director of the french institute has put all his heart in creating a great menu with Chef Yujiro Kaneko.  Hereâs âscallop puddingâ, âTerrineâ or Kaburi beef in shallot sauce for you. Many specialities with fish as well.  Plus, lâInstitut Français is only a 100 metres away from Kagurazaka, known as Tokyoâs french neighborhood. ASK : For the Pain Perdu (French toast), itâs Jean-Jacquesâs âpĂ©chĂ© mignonâ. Other desserts like the Mont Blanc are also worth the go. Also ask for the special events they host like wine tastings. And look out, Guest Star Chefs might pay a visit ( AmĂ©lie Darvas, Jean-Paul HĂ©vin...) Closed on Mondays.  Sundays lunch only. Maps
PARTY?
Bar & Disco : New Sazae
Located in the colorful gay neighborhood of Nichome/Shinjuku, this is certainly a place where youâll have fun. Around since 1966, This little disco is a classic now. If youâre looking for something more sober, thereâs always the Lost in Translation New York Bar at Park HyattâŠ. Maps

INDIA - New Delhi & Taj Mahal Getaway
New Delhi is not new at all. Sprawling ruins of dynasties intrude on the modern side of the city and surprisingly appear in gardens and at every corner. Making it a fascinating necropolis. Itâs not like you can choose between New or Old Delhi, Indiaâs capital has somehow continually evolved keeping track of its past. To our great delight, history is everywhere. Delhi was also home to Gandhi , the âfather of the nationâ who had spent his last days in the Birla house before he was assassinated. So Delhi green city, historical Delhi, lifestyle Delhi, you can experience those all at once.

FRANCE - MARSEILLE - Shopping & Coffee shop - 318 cité radieuse

In cosy âSEMIS boutique expressoâ you can enjoy a cup of coffee, fresh orange juices, cookies and muffins from Coogie coffee shop and buy traditionally knitted pieces from the cool brand âAtelier Semisâ.

SINGAPORE - SHOP - Manifesto
This multi-label concept store is unlike any other youâve seen so far in the city. The first thing that crosses your mind is âWhere am I?â. Well basically, youâre in Walid Zaazaaâs creative mind, a world where art, architecture and fashion all come together. This French fashion designer has worked with brands like DKNY and Calvin Klein for 15 years before opening what is today the most avant-gardist and coolest store in town. More than half of the brands youâll find here are new to Singapore. Think Gilet, Inari, Mads Norgaard or Maison Olga... And by coming here, youâd definitely save a shopping trip to Japan, Denmark or France. Zaazaaâs idea is to welcome everyone, âno matter if itâs to buy an affordable postcard, or to get a 300 dollars Maison KitsunĂ© dressâ. That sounds like a lovely Manifesto. ASK : Whatâs coming up. The store also aims to host events and exhibitions, Daniel Buren for example might come soon.

SINGAPORE - RESTAURANT - ANDRE - Delectable
AndrĂ© Chiang, born in Taiwan, had worked under French master Chefs such as Pourcel, Robuchon, Troisgros, Gagnaire⊠before he decided to settle in Singapore and call his restaurant home. This charming heritage house behind a welcoming little olive tree, takes you on a culinary journey and into AndrĂ©âs creative universe based on an âOctaphilosophyâ. Unique, pure, texture, memory, salt, south, artisan and terroir. The result is French, but different. Nouvelle cuisine, but not too much. In this place awarded best restaurant in Singapore, the meat comes from France (4 times a week), and lunch is worth the 100 dollars + youâd spend once in a while (or a lifetime) on a gastronomic restaurant. The daring âveal aspicâ basically a deconstructed revamped âtĂȘte de veauâ, would make you surprizingly ask for more brain, tongue, and other kind of offal you thought youâd never eat. Menu changes daily, but his signature dessert the âSnickersâ chocolate bar (new creation each year) remains. The 2015 version is to die for. And when AndrĂ© leaves you a note on a menu sheet saying âLife is about good food, good wine and lots of good friendsâ, itâs just delectable. ASK: To be seated downstairs to feel the kitchen vibes.

Malaysia - George Town - China House - In the name of tiramisu
So unlikely that a CafĂ© called China House is making one of the best tiramisus you could ever eat. I had to go to Georgetown to believe it. Whatâs awesome about this city is that you can feast on traditional local street food in the night market, then easily enjoy a european sweet treat afterwards. In fact, China House is a cake paradise, and not only a cafĂ©. 3 heritage buildings converted into 14 spaces (cafĂ©, restaurants, art galleries, shops, live music...) linked by an open air courtyard. That gives you several possible excuses to go there and get your sugar fix. ASK: For the Tiramisu, of course. Website Maps

Malaysia - George Town - Blue Mansion - Heritage Beauty
âBlue Mansionâ or âCheong Fatt Tze Mansionâ is a house that would tell incredible stories if being questionned, well if it could speak. Once the property of Asiaâs wealthiest man in the 19th century, it is today one of the most interesting attractions in Penang, an illustration of the best of heritage architecture. A visit to the Blue Mansion throws you deep back in time. A time where Southeast Asia was a promising land, a time when Feng Shui was taken absolutely seriously. I wouldnât recommend to dine as the food is âso-soâ but the tour is a must-do in Penang. Even Catherine Deneuve, for a scene in the movie Indochine has been here. Â Those in pursuit of true Beauty wonât be disappointed. ASK : If there are any rooms available to spend the night... Though some people say itâs haunted. But rumors you know... Website Maps
Malaysia - George Town - Hotel - Sinkeh - Call it home
Sinkeh (âNew comerâ) is some kind of treasure youâd want to keep secret. But because owner and stage director Chee Sek Thim puts 20% of the benefits into programming, meaning each guest contributes to support the Penang art scene, a hidden gem has to be unveiled.
 Re-designed to present a contemporary vision to an heritage building, this 19th century straits chinese house, tastefully revamped with wood and concrete, has nine rooms on its 1st and 2nd floor and an art working space on the ground floor. A Library and 2 open patios to chill. Itâs rare to love a place so much that youâd come back to a city just for it. Sinkeh is that kind of hotel you can call home. ASK: To meet Sek Thim, among other stories, heâll tell you why there are silk worm cocoons in glass jars near the entrance. Website Maps
