...Singapore's hottest new dining spot, Krish, krish.com.sg, American executive chef Matthew Baker's reckless decree to the kitchen is: "You can never have enough butter." A devil-may-care attitude to waistlines and heart health is probably to be expected from a French-trained chef, working in a European restaurant influenced by the cuisine of the Indian subcontinent. Think lashings of ghee, and opulent, rib-sticking dishes like duck confit murtabak served with honey-thyme aioli (murtabak is Indian fried bread traditionally filled with minced meat, egg and onion), pork-belly tikka and spice-rubbed tenderloin finished...
...place feels more homely than palatial. Stargazers will love the terrific conservatory-like bar surrounded by a riot of foliage. Soak in the luxuriant scenery with a Polish Lemonade (Bison vodka, lemon, egg white and cinnamon) and tell yourself that while it's perfectly possible to have too much butter, you could make an exception for tonight...

Nearly all gumbos have tomatoes, chicken, rice, sausage, and red pepper flakes, and are thickened by okra. Okra is a small, green squash...
...ceremony, a modest affair by Afghan standards, was a celebration of traditional headgear. Tribesmen from the east sported vast swaths of butter-yellow silk looped into view-blocking turbans, while their southern cousins opted for the more somber black and gray. Northerners were identified by their flat-topped woolen pakols; the urban élites by their peaked karakul caps. They were outdone only by the portraits of Afghanistan's former rulers that lined the walls of the reception hall - some of those wore helmets. The first few rows were occupied by suited foreign dignitaries, including U.S. Secretary of State Hillary...
