China claims 13 spots on best list

Two of Hong Kong's favorite restaurants are creeping up on chef Gaggan Anand, but not enough to dislodge the Indian chef's grip on the title of No 1 restaurant in Asia.

In fact, it's a hat-trick for Bangkok's Gaggan: The Indian restaurant in Thailand topped the closely watched list of Asia's 50 Best Restaurants for the third straight year.

Hong Kong's Amber, where Richard Ekkebus is executive chef, and 8-1/2 Otto e Mezzo Bombana, helmed by local icon Umberto Bombana, climbed on the list to No 3 and No 4 respectively. Both restaurants are inside the Landmark development.
