...nothing I had ever seen or imagined - a stifling, low-ceilinged inferno of a cellar, red-lit from the fires, and deafening with oaths and the clanging of pots and pans." The book recounts his descent into the culinary hell of a busy professional kitchen: a dirty, angry, vulgar, drunken, pressurized little world that's oddly invisible to outsiders. "There sat the customers in all their splendor," he observes, "spotless tablecloths, bowls of flowers, mirrors and gilt cornices and painted cherubim; and here, just a few feet away, we in our disgusting filth...

...been years since karaoke, that staple of modern Asian life, was relegated to the ranks of drunken salarymen. Today in Hong Kong, it's being integrated into office life in a new tradition known as "K Lunch." Hong Kong residents are flocking to karaoke studios on their lunch hours, when many businesses are now offering two hours of food and song for less than $5. Students routinely hit up K Lunch, but the low price - using the same room after 6 p.m. costs about three times as much - also lures office workers, teachers, retirees and housewives. "You can have...
