Londoners are single-minded about restaurant identity: Indian is curry and French is expensive and never the twain shall meet. So the opening last year of Notting Hill's Nyonya, which serves a spicy, delicious blend of Chinese and Malaysian cuisine, caused much head scratching. The beautiful curved-glass windows with a minimal interior designed by London's Four IV gives little away and, to the uninitiated, menu entries with names like otak-otak and ju hu char don't help much...

Enjoy gozleme in whatever form you find...
...love bubbly, then a trip to the Champagne region of France--about an hour-plus train ride from Paris--is worth the jaunt. But be forewarned: the climate can be lousy. I was as chilled as a glass of Blanc de Blanc while visiting one of Moet & Chandon's vineyards near Epernay in July. The generally crummy weather is considered one of the key ingredients besides the area's chalky, bone-white soil that help this region of France produce the best of bubbly...
