SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Fabulous"

Our last night in Myanmar (and only night in Yangon) we dined at Seeds. Lovely setting, excellent food! European prices, but beyond our wildest expectations.

Manda De Laos: "special spot in special town"

Favorite of many good ones in Luang Prabang. Built around a UNESCO protected fish pond, with wood decking and a lounge area. Beautifully lit at night. Sensational Laos food with French touch. Lovely French hostess. We recommended to two sets of people we met, all of whom enjoyed it as much as we did.

Nam Bo Boutique Hotel: "Nice hotel, lovely staff"

This hotel is a little gem. Large rooms/ suites in a perfect location in this very nice town. The staff were uniformly so friendly and helpful. I can confirm that the breakfast on the roof terrace is excellent. We have a lovely memory of our stay here.

Villa Song Saigon: "Stylish and quiet"

Lovely place, excellent location overlooking the river Saigon, some furniture shops and a few good restaurants nearby, convenient shuttle boat service to the city centre, very helpful staff, chic decor. All we needed for our short holiday in HCMC.

The River Resort: "Lovely in Every Way"

"We spent three nights at The River Resort. The resort is 1st. class in a very remote location built along side the Mekong River. The grounds of the property are mostly rice patties. When we were there, the rice plants were about one foot high and a lovely green. The other plants and trees are indigenous. Gardeners work daily keeping the property in pristine condition. Our room had a wall of windows looking out over the Mekong River as well as a patio.. The large room was broken into four sections: bedroom, dressing area, WC and shower. The shower was spacious and had a door that lead to an outdoor shower (Very Nice). The room was very nice and functional. The food service consisted of a large open area dining room with a thatched room for protection from the elements. There were no walls, and the space was cooled only by large ceiling fans. Lunch and dinner utilized the same Asian and Western cuisine menu. Breakfast consisted of a small buffet and hot food cooked-to-order in the kitchen. We enjoyed the cuisine very much. The service was ,friendly and professional. They did their best to accommodate any requests. There are numerous activities that can be scheduled at the resort. However, since we were on a private tour, our guide and activities were all arranged. The River Resort is truly exceptional, especially in Laos. It is a place to truly get away from it all and discover more about the people and places of this remote corner of the world"

Maisons Wat Kor: "A Small Piece of Paradise"

"Due to a relative which had stayed here last year, we decided to stay at Maisons Wat Kor during our 3 day visit to Battambang. What an excellent choice. It is located on the outskirts of Battambang in a quite neighborhood. If you need/want to go to down town it is only a 5 min. tuk tuk ride, but that said, there is no comparison to the experience at this gem of a place versus the hotels in the busier part of town. The hotel is a couple of years old and comprises only 12 rooms. The property is replete with beautiful plants and shrubs. The garden is incredible. We enjoyed nightly swims in their clean, comfortable pool. The rooms were well furnished. The bed was very firm, but comfortable. The staff was very attentive and helpful. They quickly attended to our every need. They arranged for bike rentals (great idea to see the local neighborhoods) and transportation to Phnom Penh Meals were served in the main house with the dining area being open to the garden area. The food was fresh and good and very nicely presented. This small hotel is intimate and charming, and a perfect place to stay."

Cuca: "Deserves 2 Michelin stars – Outstanding"

"We had a fantastic culinary experience at Cuca. The flavours, textures, aromas and presentation were an impressive mix. The staff were very atentative and their product knowledge was amazing. We sat at the bar watching the Chefs work which brought back memories for me. We liked how different people brought us our dishes - Chefs and our waitress, who explained what we were about to enjoy. As recommended we choose 6 tapas style dishes which was just enough for both of us to feel full and not left hungry. The choice is well balanced and it was difficult to choose which 6 dishes to enjoy, saying that we couldn't resist trying 2 of their desserts too!! We don't normally take dessert but on this occasion we really enjoyed the Bali breakfast and their ice cream dish with 98% coco mass organic chocolate ganash just made for them. Their brigade is headed up by an energetic Canadian Chef called Kevin Cherkas who I would pair with Heston Blumenthal using modern techniques to improve your culinary experience. So we liked it so much we are going to return to enjoy a different 6 dishes and another culinary journey at Cuca. "

Cuca: "Absolute Fine Dining"

"Cuca is a fine dining experience. I highly recommend the Chef's Plate (degustation). Each serving is exquisite: both visually stunning and a wonderful balance of different textures and flavours. Treat yourself and enjoy a fine dining experience for a fraction of the price it would cost in your home country."

Yandabo Home: "wonderful facility"

Located along the river we were lucky only d.etre overnight. Serenities a bubble in the middle of nowhere. The bungalow is new, spacious beautifully decorated with a large bathroom. The staff is on hand to make this place unique. The restaurant is very good with traditional cuisine. Breakfast is served at the table and croissants come from afar to satisfy customers. Do not miss .

David’s Kitchen: "Best Meal Ever!!"

"Well where do I begin with David’s Kitchen..... We were collected promptly by one of their restaurant cars and delivered to a magical setting that is the restaurant. We were quickly greeted by Tae who firstly apologised that David was not at the restaurant this evening but taking a break with his family. I’m certainly not going to deny the fabulous owners taking a holiday. Tae did a fabulous job in their absence. The meal was of exceptional quality, we have eaten all over the world and they have the balance just right, good quality food but without the usual ‘cheffy’ twist, if I want a sticky toffee pudding I don’t want it deconstructed with 17 ingredients I’ve never heard of!! A lot of restaurants forget they are serving paying customers and seem to concentrate on indulging the chef and owners, this restaurant does neither it recognises the guests are there for good food in lovely settings served by genuine people. I can’t praise this little restaurant in a quiet corner of Chiang Mai enough. If you ever fancy expanding to the UK I will be the first one to book!!"
