...safe with any of the above and shrimp in hot black bean sauce ($8.95). The latter is a very generous portion (a dozen large-to-middling size shrimps) in a sauce made complex by the addition of fermented black beans. The beans are the basis of a rich sauce of their own in Cantonese cookery. Here their aromas blend with the Szechwan bouquet in a way that I find very novel. Perhaps this is the "continental cuisine" of Taipei, where Chef Hou won his epaulettes at a major hotel...

Prestidigitation -- securing tickets to a sold-out play-off game or making last-minute reservations at the hottest restaurant -- can earn a hefty $100. Gifts from satisfied guests are not uncommon. "I never have to do any Christmas shopping," says Bettye Bradley, 61, of the Grand Hotel in Washington. "All I have...
...response from the West has again been generous. Last week BBC Correspondent Michael Buerk, whose reporting first alerted the world to the scope of the last famine, led an appeal that raised $650,000 in five days.
