For the OP, I suggest you look at the international board on
www.chowhound.com -- there are a number of threads discussing eating in the places you list.
I'll also be posting some recommendations here (though later - no time now).

Paul Hutt is the former Shinta Mani Chef. If you liked him there, you will be blown away by his work (and Johannes as well) at de la Paix. Much more to work with in the new venue.
