Tom Yum’s Tuesday, Apr 28 2009 

The trend these days is to make a cartoon character out of the creature that features mostly on your menu. So if you saw Tom Yum’s cheery prawn glaring at you from its Soho home, you’d feel right assuming it’s a seafood place. Wrong. This Thai eatery is the latest in the successful Phuket’s group and serves a fairly predictable fayre of rice dishes, meats and, of course, tom yum soups. A meal for two will set you back about HK$350.

Brown Thursday, Apr 23 2009 

Brown is not a usual choice of colour to theme a restaurant, but designer Nunu Luan’s concept worked so well in the relatively quiet residential area Happy Valley she has opened a second in Mid-Levels. Her new venue aims for a ‘Cheers’kind of feel and offers sofas, comfy chairs and even a library for a leisurely drink. Besides great brunches, the menu is packed with well-presented fusion dishes. Relax to live jazz on Sundays.

Paul McKenna Wednesday, Apr 22 2009 

Paul McKenna is the world’s leading hypnotist. When he’s not producing millions of self-help tapes and videos, or running the world’s largest hypnosis training centre, he’s amusing the masses with his own brand of entertainment. Irish audiences get another chance to see the man in person when he lands at Vicar Street. Be prepared to answer the call for audience volunteers. After a few brief moments of concentration, he’ll have you happily embarrassing yourself in front of friends and strangers, completely unconscious of what you’re doing.

Marcel Marceau Friday, Apr 17 2009 

Mimes often get a bad rap, thanks to too many street performers who haven’t quite mastered the art. There are mimes, however, and then there are Mimes, and Marcel Marceau definitely falls into the latter category. Just think of him as the guy who more or less introduced American audiences to the art of the mime and who, for 50 years now, has been amazing audiences around the world. The American Repertory Theatre welcomes him for a month-long engagement.
