In this episode of the Special Culinary Series, I’m joined by Chef Neha Mishra - the visionary behind Kinoya in Dubai and the woman many first knew as the “Ramen Girl” hosting intimate supper clubs before building one of the city’s most celebrated restaurants. On this episode, Neha takes us across continents through flavor, philosophy and deeply personal food memories - from Tokyo’s ramen counters to the Himalayas at 16,000 feet. Destination Highlights & Culinary Insights: 1. Japan - The art of perfection. Japan, for Neha, represents devotion - to craft, to ingredients and to doing one thing exceptionally well. • Ramen culture and why simplicity equals mastery. • How to explore Japan on a budget - eating where locals eat. • Traditional Japanese breakfasts and bento spreads. • Public transport in Japan makes exploration seamless. • “Memory Lane” (Omoide Yokocho-style alleyways) for affordable eats. https://en.shinjuku-omoide.com/ 2.

A trip to India is a reminder that food isn’t about complexity, it’s about connection. • The architecture and soul of South Bombay(South Mumbai). • South Indian cuisine as one of the most underrated global food cultures. • A transformative trip to Spiti Valley near Ladakh and mindful meals at 16,000 feet in the Himalayas. • Single-ingredient cooking. 3.

Beyond the food, it is the landscape and culture that linger. This is a destination where hospitality and history intertwine and is definitely a place that deserves far more global attention than it receives. 5. Vietnam, Thailand and Southeast Asia - The street food masters. Southeast Asia is where street food becomes storytelling. 6. Brazil – Best street food. • Sunday markets and neighbourhood food culture. • Street discoveries that rival fine dining. 7. Mexico – Culinary immersion.
