The Bollywood star, who has since become a Cannes veteran, made her debut at the famous film festival in 2002 to attend the premiere of her film Devdas , alongside co-actor Shah Rukh Khan and director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. At a time when diversity and representation were not yet the buzzwords, Rai made a bold statement in representing her Indian heritage in a yellow sari by Indian designer Neeta Lulla, traditional gold jewellery and even a matching bindi (forehead accessory worn by women in South Asia). 1993: Leslie Chueng and Gong Li in matching outfits

The shared table: Asia's communal dining traditions and why they endure
2. The Filipino boodle fight is organised chaos Above The boodle fight, once a military mess hall tradition, is now a Filipino favourite for big gatherings. (Photo: Cesan Escuadro/Pexels) Where: The Philippines Origin: Philippine military mess halls, likely mid-20th century Start with banana leaves so big they could double as sailcloth. Lay them flat like a green runway. Now throw in the rice: white, steamy and unapologetically sticky. Crown it with grilled tilapia, glistening pork belly (or lechon if it is that kind of occasion), salted egg halves, green mango strips, chili-laced vinegar, lumpia still warm from the fryer and maybe a crab or two tossed in for chaos. No forks, no spoons; just hands, heat and a don't-flinch attitude. The boodle fight was born in Philippine military camps, where time was short and hierarchy got left at the mess hall door. 'Boodle' was army slang for loot, and 'fight' implied that it was plunder to be eaten fast, shoulder-to-shoulder, no questions asked. These days, it's migrated into backyards and beach resorts, becoming part spectacle, part edible group therapy. Even upscale restaurants like Toyo Eatery have co-opted the concept. In this type of communal dining, everyone digs in. Everyone gets messy. Everyone leaves a little more connected, a little more full. A boodle fight is not just a meal—it's a free-for-all of trust and timing. A performance of bayanihan, the Filipino spirit of shared burden, sweaty joy and passing the shrimp paste without shame. See more: Food worth fighting for: how to set up your own boodle fight, according to chefs 3. Indian thali and platter politics Above With roots in Ayurvedic principles, the thali offers balanced nutrition and a feast of regional flavours. (Photo: Yan Krukau/Pexels) Where: India, Nepal, Sri Lanka Origin: Centuries-old Ayurvedic and regional food systems You don't eat a thali. You commit to it. A giant metal platter, or sometimes a banana leaf, is ringed with small bowls of lentils, vegetables, chutneys, yoghurt and sweets. Rice or roti is the edible anchor to the meal. What seems like maximalist abundance is actually structured nutrition. Thalis are designed with Ayurvedic principles, complete with a balance of sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent, astringent. But there's also hierarchy. In caste-rigid societies, who served whom mattered. Today, urban India is remixing the thali with regional varieties, such as a predominantly sweet and savoury thali in Gujarat, or fiery, rice-based ones in the south served on a banana leaf. But the essence remains: one plate, many flavours, always shared. 4. Korean banchan means side dishes with Main Character Energy Above Banchan brings generosity to the Korean table—communal by default, refillable by tradition. (Photo: Mizzu Cho/Pexels) Where: South Korea Origin: Royal Joseon-era table customs In Korea, side dishes are everything. A meal might feature grilled meat or rice, but it's the banchan—a few or so small dishes of fermented cabbage like kimchi, seasoned vegetables, pickled fish and glass noodles like japchae—that define the meal. They arrive before you order. You don't ask for them. They just appear. And yes, oftentimes, they're refillable. This is a sign of a host's hospitality and generosity. Rooted in Korean royal court cuisine, the banchan ritual democratised over time. Even at roadside diners in Busan, the humble anchovy may sit beside lotus root and aged kimchi like royalty. Banchan is communal by default: everyone digs in. See more: The history of banchan, the heart of Korean dining 5. Japanese izakaya and communal dining as poetry Above In izakaya culture, pouring drinks for others and sharing small plates embody the spirit of omotenashi. (Photo: Gül Işık/Pexels) Where: Japan Origin: Edo-era sake shops turned snack spots In an izakaya, everything is built for sharing. Beer? Get the pitcher. Sake? A flask and tiny ceramic cups, because pouring for others—never for yourself—is a love language. Instead, you notice when a friend's drink is low and you refill it before they have to ask. It's a small gesture, but a meaningful one. A nod to omotenashi, Japan's quiet, attentive form of hospitality. Grilled skewers of yakitori, soy-glazed eggplant, oden, golden karaage and pristine sashimi arrive in waves. It's a rolling meal of shared plates and many chopsticks, perfect for lingering conversation and second (or third) rounds. This rhythm of eating stems from the concept of 'ichigo ichie', which means 'one time, one meeting'. The idea that every encounter is unique, fleeting and worthy of your full presence. Izakaya aren't precious or pristine. They're casual but soulful, where the clatter of dishes and laughter merge with the buzz of neon. It's where office workers cry after a hard day. Where lovers share secrets across plates of grilled squid. Where new friendships are born over cups of warm sake. This communal dining concept is less about ceremony, more about connection. Fluid, unfiltered and lubricated by alcohol, soft lighting and the comfort of small dishes that keep coming.

Christian Louboutin's Hotel Vermelho is a bold Portuguese hideaway for design lovers
Every room is a one-of-a-kind sanctuary Above Each of Hotel Vermelho's 13 rooms boasts a distinct personality and story. (Photo: Instagram / @hotelvermelho) Each of Vermelho's 13 accommodations boasts a distinct personality and story. The crown jewel, the Matinha Suite, features whimsical handpainted pastel frescoes by Greek artist Konstantin Kakanias, a longtime friend of Christian Louboutin. One mural even depicts an angel playfully flaunting knee-high boots. Throughout the property, guests discover inimitable antique furnishings, custom Portuguese azulejo tiles and artworks personally selected by the designer himself, making every stay feel utterly unrepeatable. A glittering bar crafted by artisans Above The bar is made from hammered and embossed silver leaf. (Photo: Instagram / @hotelvermelho) The Vermelho Bar stands as the hotel's social epicentre, dominated by a bar front crafted from hammered and embossed silver leaf. This glittering masterpiece was created by Orfebrería Villarreal, a renowned Seville workshop that traditionally crafts religious items for churches and processional ceremonies. The space is anchored by hexagonal red floor tiles—a nod to Christian Louboutin's signature scarlet soles—creating an atmosphere that perfectly embodies the hotel's philosophy of 'la vie en rouge'. A culinary love letter to the Alentejo region Above Restaurant Xtian celebrates authentic Portuguese cuisine using seasonal ingredients sourced from Alentejo producers. (Photo: Instagram / @hotelvermelho) Restaurant Xtian represents the very heart of Louboutin's vision, born from his desire for a perfect local dining spot in Melides. Under chef Emanuel Machado's direction, the kitchen celebrates authentic Portuguese cuisine using seasonal ingredients sourced directly from Alentejo producers. The commitment to local craftsmanship extends beyond the menu, with dishes served on handcrafted crockery made by artisans from Melides village itself. Vermelho's restaurant has become such a destination that it attracts diners travelling from Lisbon specifically to experience its offerings. Well-appointed spaces for renewal Above With intricate tilework, the spacious bathrooms are private retreats for renewal. (Photo: Instagram / @hotelvermelho) Featuring intricate tilework and high‑quality finishes, the generously proportioned bathrooms at Hotel Vermelho transform ordinary bathing into a spa-like ritual. Rainfall showers, plush robes and slippers and premium bath products from brands like Kama Ayurveda and Anne Semonin create a private retreat for rest and renewal. Meanwhile, Vermelho's spa is built with stones once part of ancient churches, said to imbue the space with calming energy. Walls of transparently tiled alabaster sourced from Luxor—a nod to Christian Louboutin's Egyptian heritage—allow golden light to filter into treatment rooms. The spa's wellness philosophy blends Indian mindfulness techniques, particularly Ayurveda, with luxury French cosmetics, creating a holistic approach to restoration. An outdoor art gallery for a pool Above The swimming pool is adorned with baroque-style sculptures. (Photo: Instagram / @hotelvermelho) The naturally heated swimming pool, nestled within lush gardens designed by French landscape architect Louis Benech, transcends typical hotel amenities. Baroque-style sculptures by Italian artist Giuseppe Ducrot transform the poolside into an enchanting open-air gallery. Guests can bask in the Alentejo sunshine surrounded by local flora while enjoying complimentary Saturday morning yoga classes. Intentionally low-tech for ultimate relaxation Above Hotel Vermelho encourages guests to disconnect from digital distractions and reconnect with the simple pleasures of contemplation. (Photo: Instagram / @hotelvermelho) Hotel Vermelho deliberately champions analogue luxury. Televisions are notably absent from rooms unless specifically requested, while digital key cards have been replaced with charming leather keyrings handcrafted by Christian Louboutin's Parisian team. This approach extends throughout the property, encouraging guests to disconnect from digital distractions and reconnect with the simple pleasures of conversation, contemplation and genuine human connection. The birth of a designer coastline Above Apart from Hotel Vermelho, Christian Louboutin has plans to open more luxury boutique properties in the area. (Photo: Instagram / @hotelvermelho) Hotel Vermelho is only the beginning of Christian Louboutin's ambitious vision for the region. Along this stretch of coastline, the designer is creating a collection of retreats that reflect his signature style. Vermelho Lagoa, a 10-room property overlooking the Melides lagoon, is set to open in spring 2026, and a third hotel nestled in the nearby pine forest is reportedly in development. Together, these projects aim to establish Melides as a distinctive luxury destination shaped by Louboutin's discerning touch. Credits This article was created with the assistance of AI tools
