Tugu Malang: "Treated like royalty!"
"We received a gracious welcome with fresh juice & traditional snacks as we checked in. The staff were helpful, respectful & kind. Rooms were lovely, and the hotel is filled with wonderful museum quality antiquity. Every meal was delicious. Prices were great. Enjoyed high tea, multiple Spa treatments, both a cooking class and a ""beauty class"". The classes (one each day) included tours to local markets to gather the ingredients. So interesting and both guides were knowledgeable and informative. We weren't rushed and allowed time to shop & see how Indonesians ""grocery shop"". Staff seemed to anticipate our needs and were always one step ahead making sure our comfort was always a top priority. We highly recommend this hotel!"The Cabochon Hotel: "Boutique hotel in the middle of Bangkok"
Bangkok is filled with excellent five star international hotels. Here's something completely different. Small, boutique tucked away in a small Soi off Sukhumvit. The service levels are warm friendly with a touch of classic Thai friendliness. The hotel is only 5 years old but has been created for yesteryear. Food is lovely and the atmosphere unique.Cuisine Wat Damnak: "An amazing experience"
We really enjoyed the 5-course and 6-course menu at Cuisine Wat Damnak and were thrilled to taste the Khmer cuisine with a touch of French. It was delicious - from the taste from the kitchen to the dessert we experienced different flavours, but never too strong. The price for the menu and wine was a great value... The setting beautiful and loved that the chef himself came to greet us. We will be back for sure...Dewakan: "Definitely worth a visit"
The restaurant serves a degustation menu and you can only choose between a 10 course (RM240) or 5 course (RM180) meal. The service and meal presentations are excellent and the food is generally of a high standard. The restaurant is also very generous giving 4 free appetizers and a free dessert so we ended up having a 15 course meal. Definitely worth the price. Only disappointment is the ambience as the restaurant is quite bare but the toilet is quite classy. Also, beware the traffic getting there as it took us one and a half hours from Jalan Duta on a Friday evening.Mie Cafe: "Wonderful discovery for Khmer fusion food"
We have been living in Cambodia for 20 months now and have tried a lot on the evolving Top Ten restaurant must-try. Now here is one quiet, unassuming restaurant off the tourist spots in Siem Reap that we found to be REALLY, REALLY GOOD. Chef Pola is Khmer and very creative with local cuisine plus his talent and training abroad makes it world class gourmet. What can I say.. I even tried the red ants and eggs on the menu and liked the entire dish. Just give the tuktuk driver the address and he can bring you there.Locavore: "Michelin worthy!!"
"Wow I came to Locavore with my girlfriend on an evening were the the rain was truly pouring and we were drenched as we walked in. My girlfriend and I had the tasting menu which was outstanding. The staff knew every aspect of each dish and I hope the chef gets the staff to taste the dishes because their knowledge seemed that they had as the waitresses and waiters really did know their stuff. Lovely atmosphere and great staff. Good attention to detail. Great tasting food If this restaurant was in Paris or London it would have cost near £300, however with it being in Bali it was just over £100. Great value for such good quality. Great evening and recommend to anyone to go to Locavore"Labyrinth: "Wonderful and Playful interpretation of Singaporen cuisine"
Restaurant Labyrinth has successfully took interpretation of Singaporean cuisine to the next level. From start to finish, every dish is made with a purpose to bring you back to Singaporean food memories typical of everyone living in this city. The tasting menu consists of a great amount of food and will definitely leave you satisfied.Maduzi Hotel: "Worth to stay"
"Very calm and quiet. not many rooms, so not crowded like a other hotels in bangkok. Room was clean and nice, all the staffs are very gentle and kind. 5mins walk from asok bts stn. I would love to stay again later."Glenburn Tea Estate: "Relaxing"
"This hotel is excellent, I will certainly return. From the pick up at the airport, tea on route and the well appointed rooms I really can't fault it, the views from anywhere in the hotel are breathtaking, the food, although limited in choice is excellent, if you like walking and enjoy peace and quite this would be a great choice, additionaly the tea plantation and working factory are a great visit. Room Tip: A room with walk in shower is a good choice"Jing’s Residence: "Pingyao’s Best Hotel"
The best location in old Pingyao. The hotel is a quiet oasis in the heart of Pingyao. It's rooms are well appointed and very clean and tidy. The hotel facilities are well laid out with a lovely restaurant, bar, spa and quiet reading areas. Its sensitive use of the ancient architecture is a pleasure to relax in, either inside or outside in one of the quiet courtyards. The staff are always there when you need help, but never intrusive or overly attentive. The style is friendly and welcoming. I will recommend this wonderful boutique hotel to all my friends.
