Bangkok, Thailand
Thailand is known for its rich, flavoursome and delicious food, where every spoonful is bursting with flavour and combinations of spices and sauces such as chili, ginger, garlic, lemongrass and fish sauce excite every palate. Cuisines here blend sweet and spicy with ingredients such as coconut milk and kaffir lime leaves. While Pad Thai is one of the most popular dishes, you also really cannot go wrong with Tom Yum Goong (a spicy hot and sour soup) followed by a dessert of mango sticky rice.
Bangkok is at the center of it all with thousands of street food vendors and restaurant options, ranging from budget-friendly to luxury fine dining and everything in between. As with all things great dining, a little local knowledge goes a long way so be sure to consult the Secret Retreats concierges for their tips on what to taste and
where to taste it.

Penang, Malaysia
This jewel of a Malaysian island has so much to offer the discerning traveller, and the Penang gems that Secret Retreats shares with its travellers as places to stay really are the ideal base to explore this fascinating island. Steeped in history, Penang spent centuries as a central trading post between the Far East and the West and its wide cultural influences still colour the Penang experience to this day. Arabic, Dutch, English and Chinese influences have all rubbed shoulders with the local culture and stamped their fantastic and unique identities on the cuisine, architecture and art of Penang to this day.
