A hidden gem of peace and quiet in a buzzing city: The Bar @ The House on Sathorn @ W Bangkok (5. January 2024)
Despite having stayed at the W Bangkok before, I didn’t have a chance to try the options at The House on Sathorn, so it was time to do so. The Bar, which is located in The House on Sathron is actually a super lovely place in the midst of a busy city. The “Bael Gimlet […]
It’s the small details in which you realise that the hotel had just opened: Lobby Lounge @ Courtyard Siem Reap Resort (4. January 2024)
As a final act of the day, it was time to enjoy a “Bloody Mary” (USD 7.00) in the Lobby Lounge in the Courtyard Siem Reap Resort – and that is when you realise that the hotel had only just opened a few days ago. It seems nobody had ordered a Bloody Mary before, since […]
When expectations are completely missed and prices are way too high: Restaurant Malis (4. January 2024)
The Malis looked like a truly fancy place from the outside, and a bit different from most of the places we had tried in Siem Reap. So, as a goodbye dinner, we figured, this might be a good option. The place is lovely in terms of interior design and they kind of really try to […]
Not necessarily a place to return to for drinks: Silk Garden Bar & Restaurant (4. January 2024)
On the quest for the best cocktail, we ended up in places, we hadn’t expected, like the Silk Garden Bar & Restaurant. Again, heads-up, you need to pay by cash, and the change is given in KKP instead of USD, so, you might want to take that into account when going here (even if it […]
A great signature cocktail in a busy side street: Harry‘s Cocktail Bar (4. January 2023)
Next in line was Harry’s Cocktail Bar a few blocks down the road – and while the place only looked limitedly like a cocktail bar, the selection was slightly bigger than in the previous place. And the “Harry’s Sling (gin, dom, cranberry, lime, cherry brandy, passion)” (USD 5.75), apparently, their signature cocktail, was quite enjoyable. […]
A good start on the quest to find the perfect cocktail: Endora Restaurant & Wine Bar (4. January 2024)
On the quest to find amazing cocktails and cocktail bars, we ended up trying a few different ones like the “Endora Restaurant & Wine Bar”, which claimed to also have an amazing selection of cocktails. Well, I would rather say the selection of cocktails was limited, but I did enjoy the “Blue Lagoon (vodka, Cointreau, […]
While the temples are worth visiting, the restaurant isn’t really: Restaurant Rom Chong Angkor (4. January 2024)
Another day visiting the lesser known temples around Siem Reap like Beng Mealea and Banteay Srei is definitely worth when you’re in Cambodia. The temples are lovely, and they are definitely worth visiting – sure, not as impressive as Angkor Wat, but still on the must-do list! Between temples, it was time for another lunch […]
Exceptional service and tasty stuffed frog: Restaurant Sokkhak River (3. January 2024)
The Sokkhak River was recommended by the hotel, hence, we figured why not give it a try! The “pounded chicken breast with red tree ants (chicken breast, red tree ants, galangal, garlic, shallots, dried shrimp, herbs, peanuts and vegetable crudités)” (USD 7.80) was overall okay, but the greens on the side were a bit surprising […]
