What makes Japanese food special? From sushi to miso, rice to ramen, it's about simplicity
The Michelin Guide lists over 1,000 restaurants in Japan and has awarded more than 360 of them stars. Advertisement That Japanese cuisine is considered one of the best in the world is thanks to the aroma, freshness of ingredients and stylish presentation of its dishes – many of which are little known outside the country. 'Aesthetics, seasonality and focus on fresh, high-quality ingredients' is what characterises Japanese cooking for Asian food blogger Stefan Leistner. The focus is always on the product. 'The aim is to preserve the natural flavour, which is why spices, heat and fat are used much more sparingly than in other Asian cuisines,' says Inga Pfannebecker, a cookbook author from Amsterdam. Udon, with its gentle flavour and aroma, epitomises what's good about Japanese cuisine.

Shangri-La Dialogue a place to ease tensions, not inflame China threat
The Shangri-La Dialogue, held annually in Singapore, has long provided a useful platform for discussion of Asia's security issues. Advertisement But the United States used the region's premier security conference last weekend to launch a provocative attack on China, a move that fanned flames, rather than easing concerns. US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth accused China of wanting to 'fundamentally alter the region's status quo'. The threat, he said, was 'real' and 'could be imminent'. He referred to the South China Sea and Taiwan. Hegseth urged US partners and allies to join it in countering what he described as China's aggression. Beijing could not let the strongly worded allegations go unanswered. Hu Gangfeng, a People's Liberation Army major general, dismissed them as 'groundless'. Advertisement Hegseth's comments, Hu said, aimed to stir up trouble and incite confrontation, destabilising the region. China's defence and foreign ministries issued statements condemning the US accusations.

Faulty prostate cancer tests leave 406 Hong Kong patients with nervy wait
Hong Kong public hospitals are reviewing blood test results of more than 400 patients after batches of a reagent were found to have quality issues that could produce false positives for prostate cancer Advertisement The Hospital Authority said on Tuesday that it was following up with the supplier of a testing product after being notified by the firm last week about complaints elsewhere related to quality issues. The product, supplied by Abbott Laboratories, is a reagent kit that detects the level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in blood. An elevated level may be a sign of prostate cancer. The product's quality issues could 'potentially lead to a misdiagnosis of prostate cancer, causing doctors to erroneously consider unnecessary treatments', the authority said. Two batches of the affected products were sent to Caritas Medical Centre in Sham Shui Po and Tuen Mun Hospital. Advertisement While Tuen Mun Hospital had not started to use the product, Caritas Medical Centre had already tested blood samples of 406 patients with the PSA kit since April 28. It has reviewed the test results and will contact about 70 patients this week, and rearrange blood tests based on their clinical needs.
