...masala of words long-since codified in its dictionaries: chit, guru, jungle, pajamas, pundit, sentry, shampoo, and thug, to name just a few. Indian cuisine long ago surpassed fish-and-chips as Britain's most popular restaurant food. Or, at least, "Anglo-Indian" - England's most popular "Indian" dish, chicken tikka masala, is actually a British invention, since exported to the land that inspired it. Indian property and hotel developers borrow the lexicon of their English counterparts, using terms such as park, mews or estate in the names of new upscale complexes. A hint of Britain sells, it seems...
MARCELL: Growing up I would always have breakfast at Kupat Tahu Gempol, tel: (62-22) 426 0809. This food stall has been serving its famous dish of tofu and peanut sauce since 1965 and now has four other stands around the city, but the same woman still works at the original location, which is down the road from my old house. Just around the block is one of the city's best boutiques, God Incorporated, tel: (62-22) 423 2308. It sells locally made clothing and other gear, and belongs to the members of Koil, Bandung's legendary metal band...

...case full of rice marked “Lice” was touchingly Lost in Translation. Everything was distinctly Japanese, but nothing other than my having eaten it all in the same city made it coalesce into a single story. The rice balls for breakfast, the chicken and egg dish called Oyako Donburi (literally “mother and child rice bowl”) for lunch, and the custard-filled crêpe at a street corner in Harajuku the next day equally eluded a coherent column arc. Despite, or perhaps because I wanted so desperately for my experience in Tokyo...
...Sundaravej, boasts a famous palate; before he assumed the P.M. post, Samak hosted his own TV cooking show. But during a trip to neighboring Laos earlier this week, Samak sampled a chili-paste-and-fermented-fish concoction at a local market, and found to his considerable discomfort that the dish disagreed with him. On April 1 - and, no, this was no April Fool's joke - local newspapers put coverage of the Prime Minister's diarrhea on the front page. Hospitalized for food poisoning, Samak had to pull out of several cabinet meetings. The Prime Minister's fate, though...
