With its roots in Sichuan's famously fiery and flavourful cuisine, Chongqing's food is laced with chili, ginger, pepper and garlic to enliven the taste buds. This western Chinese mega-city is the spiritual home of hotpot, and mala xiangguo is a fiercely spicy local version which is widely eaten throughout Chongqing. Simply pick your restaurant and dig in!

Laziji, which translates as “spicy chicken”, is another must-try dish, consisting of marinated pieces of chicken stir-fried together with peppers and other local vegetables. Finally, mala xiaomian (Chongqing noodles) is real local favourite, served in a bubbling, peppery broth.

Nestled between downtown Chongqing and Gele Mountain, the birthplace of laziji, Radisson Blu Hotel Chongqing Sha Ping Ba is a wonderful place to savour the region's many culinary delights. At Quanhui, the hotel's Chinese restaurant, expert chefs use local ingredients to create ancient recipes in an elegant setting.

Delhi is an intoxicating culinary destination, full of heady flavours and aromas that are guaranteed to enthral every traveller. Visitors to India's bustling capital city simply need to follow their senses to seek out the finest cuisine.

Curry is an Indian classic and one of the most popular versions in the capital is butter chicken; a creamy and fragrant dish that was born in Delhi. Another rich local dish is nihari - a deeply satisfying slow-cooked meat stew. These dishes should be soaked up with a paratha, the classic Indian flatbread which can also be stuffed and eaten as a standalone street food snack. Finally, no trip to Delhi would be complete without having tried chhole bhature, a combination of dishes eaten with fried bread, often for breakfast.

Located along the Delhi-Gurugram Expressway, Radisson Blu Plaza Delhi Airport puts diners in the heart of the action with five F&D outlets offering a variety of cuisines – from the aromatic kababs, biryani and Indian breads at The Great Kabab Factory to a extensive buffet spread at the 24-hour NYC restaurant. Or, head out and discover the most popular culinary hotspots frequented by local office workers.
