Dua Lipa just shared her favourite spots in Asia on Google Maps

Dua Lipa has been all over our feeds lately thanks to her intimate London wedding with Callum Turner. But she has also officially entered her travel curator era. The singer-songwriter has teamed up with Google Maps and her editorial platform Service95 to launch a series of personal travel guides directly in Maps, complete with her own custom Pegman in Street View. The global drop includes 12 shared lists, from London Eats on Repeat and Must-See Mexico City to Natural Wine Bars, Favourite Bookstores, Global Record Stores and The Best Nights Out. But for Asia travellers, the standout list is Tokyo Culture & Eats, alongside a handful of Dua-approved picks across Bangkok, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong.

Where to eat in Asia, according to Dua Lipa

Under her Chill Dinners & Snacks list, Dua spotlights some proper heavy-hitters. In Bangkok, there’s Raan Jay Fai, the legendary Michelin-starred street food spot famous for its crab omelette. Dua calls it unmissable, noting that Jay Fai has been cooking on the same street corner since the 1980s in her signature ski goggles.

Also on the list: Haawm in Bangkok, Narukiyo in Tokyo and Singapore’s Maxwell Food Centre, which Dua describes as “a true Singaporean haven.” We can 100% confirm. 

Dua Lipa’s Tokyo picks

Her Tokyo Culture & Eats list covers everything from omakase to archive fashion. For food and drink, she recommends epulor, a quiet neighbourhood café that turns into a vinyl-and-natural-wine spot by evening; Cignale Enoteca for Italian cuisine with a Japanese sensibility; INC Cocktails for creative drinks; and Sushi Yuu for precise counter-style sushi.

Then there’s Grandfather’s Bar, which she says she always ends up at on her last night in Tokyo. “It has this warm, unhurried energy that feels like the city knows you’re leaving and wants to give you a good send-off,” she says. For something more unpredictable, Narukiyo is the no-menu izakaya where the owner decides what comes next. 

Where to shop, read and dance

Fashion lovers can bookmark LAILA TOKIO, AMORE Vintage AOYAMA, QOO and Archive Store for serious vintage hunting. Culture-wise, Dua recommends Gōtoku-ji, the lucky cat temple, and the YAYOI KUSAMA Museum, which requires booking ahead.

Bookish travellers also get a win. In Kuala Lumpur, she recommends Tintabudi Bookshop, calling it “a beautiful independent bookshop and creative space” with a particularly strong selection of Southeast Asian literature. In Hong Kong, Boundary Bookstore gets a nod for its calm, thoughtful focus on Chinese literature from the diaspora.

For music fans, Tower Records Shibuya makes the cut, while club kids should head to WOMB. Dua calls it “one of the great Tokyo clubs,” praising its legendary sound system and serious underground electronic programming.
