Lazy Sundays are for sleeping in, and reading the paper, but most importantly—indulging in brunch! That hour when it is way too late for breakfast but not quite time for lunch is the best time to indulge in a languorous meal. Beijing offers a vast array, but if you want an Asian feast prepared by the team of Asian chefs from Cantonese China, to India, to Thailand, to Vietnam to Japan, then Asia Bistro at the JW Marriot is the place to go.

The Oriental (The Landison Plaza Hotel)

333 Tiyuchang Road, Hangzhou // 雷迪森大酒店, 杭州体育场路333号
Hangzhou, 33China
Opulent is the word that comes to mind when I think of The Oriental Restaurant in Landison Plaza Hotel. The first restaurant in Hangzhou to specialize in pan-Asian food such as Southeast Asian and Indian flavors, they serve some of the best Thai and Indian food I’ve ever had, no doubt compliments of the Thai chef they currently employ at the restaurant. The Oriental’s menu changes seasonally or annually depending on the regional promotions and they currently have an impressively wide range of Thai and Indian specialties, not to mention some Chinese and Korean dishes.

I often find myself talking to other Westerners in China about the concept of 'face.' 'Face' is a concept that we do not have any one word for in English but refers to keeping up appearances and having a sense of dignity vis a vis others. 'Face' is commonly said to be important in societies across East Asia, although I think the concept is useful for talking about society in the West and, for that matter, in most countries.

Spice Bowl

Radisson Hotel, 210 Tao Pu Lu, Putuo District//上海普陀区桃浦路210号 Tel:021-5355 9999
Shanghai, 31China
The Putuo branch of the Radisson Hotel’s recently opened restaurant, Spice Bowl, is well worth a visit for its exquisite pan-Asian fare and warm décor. The interior design is Eastern opulence all over, forming the perfect backdrop to the food.
On arriving, my companion and I were offered three menus to choose from – Thai, Indian, and Japanese. I chose Japanese and my friend chose Thai. Both good selections, as it turned out. Each menu of four courses costs ¥98 including a soft drink, which is great value considering the standard of the food.

Looking up through the glass roofed terrace of People’s Restaurant, a cloudless afternoon sky serves as a nice backdrop for a relaxing lunch meal.
Now if only they wouldn’t blare house techno music out of the speakers during the afternoon.
