Reviewing meal in amazement, while taking in Asian city (6)
I believe the answer is:
manila
'asian city' is the definition.
(capital of the Philippines)
'reviewing meal in amazement while taking' is the wordplay.
'reviewing' says the letters should be written in reverse (I've seen 'review' mean this).
'taking' indicates a hidden word (the answer is carried or taken by the clue).
'alinam' is hidden in the letters of 'meal in amazement while'.
'alinam' backwards is 'MANILA'.
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for manila that I've seen before include "Nail Ma up with strong paper" , "Animal found in Philippines" , "Strong brown paper originally made from hemp" , "Strong brown paper; cigar, cheroot" , "Brown paper and Philippine city" .)
