We spent the day in HCMC on our own, which was fun because we could wander aimlessly and discover the unexpected.

A day off — but not without its highlight: an exciting chef in Hoi An we couldn't wait to meet. We took a Grab into town to sit down with him at his restaurant on the river…

A few years ago, I went to the Sydney Fish Market in Blackwattle Bay in Pyrmont. I love a good bustling fish market, but this one had seen better days.

Din Tai Fung may only be a dumpling joint at heart, but it is legendary.  It’s everywhere in Asia, popping up in America, and immensely popular wherever you can find one.

I’m a big fan of Jean-Georges. We’ve been to many of his restaurants in New York; they are all unique, and the food never lets you down.
