Mixed Plate goes to the Pit Señor Festival in Cebu, where a half million people pay tribute to the statue of Santo Nino, said to have been brought to the Philippines by Magellan, along with the Catholic faith. We sample traditional and modern Filipino delicacies, tour religious sites and go to market for herbal cures.

In the old Okinawan language, Chibariyo means “go for it!”, which is exactly what thousands of residents and visitors do in the world’s largest tug-of-war. We explore the Hawaii connections to this southern prefecture and grind on some of the healthiest food in the world.

Mixed Plate goes to the famous Bun festival on the island of Cheung Zhao where teams compete to climb a tower and collect hundreds of manapua. We see some of Hong Kong’s nightlife and of course, dine on the island’s famous Chinese cuisine.

Japan erupts into glorious shades of red, orange and yellow as autumn claims the countryside foliage. We journey from the north to the south ends of Honshu, experiencing each region’s traditional fall festivals.

What can be more relaxing than a slow boat through the Adriatic to the Mediterranean’s most exotic ports? We cruise from Venice to Croatia, Montenegro, Greece, Sicily and the romantic Amalfi Coast, where we sample the best of Italian cuisine.
