Steven Holl's building is pretty cool to see from the outside, but from what I could tell they don't really let people inside. If you do a little research you might be able find a way to get in, though.

but seriously, for the architecture just check mimoa it's all there, or get a wallpaper* city guide, they have an iphone app too. Food wise, I don't really know, there are some nice restaurants in Chinatown/Red-light district (giving you an excuse to go there...) but that's all I know in the culinary department, surviving on instant noodles for the last year or so really screwed up my taste buds.
