On my way back to hotel for a short break, walking along the busy street of Ham Nghi with some restaurants and shops, while it started to rain. My original plan was to find somewhere "local" but by chance, filooks cheerful and it's well decoratednding this little quiet place.

It's well designed like a garden, wooden furniture, serving both western and Vietnamese food. Chose the cram meat with asparagus soup and fried egg noodle with seafood. Both are not bad.

It's quite interesting to see the sky turned dark and bright alternatively several times in an hour.

Very centralized area for people to buy souvenir, most popular thing to buy should be coffee. It's quite well organized, group of coffee stores in an area, group of household products in another, there is a food-mart in the middle, selling local food and drinks.

People are not as friendly as markets in Thailand, they pull our arms and t-shirts, kept selling, and looked so pissed when we kept saying "no, thank you".

Only spent 10 min there, and wanted to leave this noisy place, we didn't have anything must-buy anyway.

It's a small city with an interesting mix of old and modern. It's not just going back to the 50's of HK, but here, it's like most people are still living in the past, while the hardware of the city has developed to this century.

Local people's income is not high, but there are luxury brands and retailers; while most people are driving their very old motor bikes, which you can't find anymore in HK, at the same time, you'll see Audi, Benz driving on the same roads.

While you are enjoying a decent meal in a nice restaurants, you'll see some people sitting on small plastics chairs and eating on the streets in front of you.

Honestly, food was just fine, nothing impressed. It's a large restaurant, quite popular for tourists, with lots of variety of choices that you can find many local dishes.

Semi-open kitchen, with different sessions around the dining place. Making rolls, noodle, grill, etc.

Service is not that pleasant, typical tourist place that has already got famous.

My second time to Vietnam, first time was business trip to Ha Noi, when I was well taken care by the company team. This time, I went there with a friend whom was going there for meeting. Bad impression and terrible experience, far below expectations after all positive comments from TV travel programs 

Upon arrival in the evening, went straight to the taxi stand and was directed by someone wearing uniform to a taxi. The driver refused to use meter, it's fine, it always happens in developing country, but they charged USD 35, which I found out later the max fee by meter should be maximum $7. Being cheated upon arrival felt bad, but it didn't affect much my mood. The most terrible thing happened on the next day...

Took taxi from Hotel to Ho Chi Mnh Museum, $25,000; I didn't recognize well of their notes, and took out both 100,000 and 50,000 for the driver to pick (I always offer trust as it always works when I travel to Japan, Bangkok); he took away 250,000 and I asked, hey, you should take the 50,000 and give me change..he didn't say anything and pushed me off the taxi in the middle of the road.

After the museum, didn't dare to take taxi but as a road-blind, after 20 min walk and felt a bit lost, approached by motor bike, asked for 80,000 crazy price for 3 min drive, price down to $35K, gave him $40, he refused by saying one of the note's color faded (it's given as change by the museum ticket office). No more smaller notes, gave him $100, he said he has no change and gave me one halfy broken note!!! When we were struggling, a security gaurd came over, thought he's gotta help...he took my purse and empty it! Shaed with the driver and walked away.. No other tourist around, only their local people...so helpless...Luckily I didn't bring out all cash.

On my way walked back to hotel, stormy rain came and I ran for 15 min in heavy rain, and pouring muddy water from construction sites, felt sick that night with fever

How can I have positive impression of this place?

Not luxury but comfortably decent hotel, with a roof-top pool where you can see the river view of the opposite side. They have a well-equipped gym as well. Corporate rate is USD 135, reasonable.

Location is quite good, HCMC is indeed small, everywhere seems walking distance. There is a circle K nearby, massage place and some restaurants as well.

Located at the gound floor of the tallest building in the city, just completed and started leasing.

It's a sports bar and restaurant serving beers and western food, pizza, pasta and steak. Both outdoor and indoor seatings, playing different sports programs.

SPA, is a must-have item in Bangkok. a Totally relax day with half day spa and dinner Bo.Lan, highly recommended by a friend.

Bo and Lan are 2 Chefs from Nahm in London, inspired by Michelin-starred Chef, David Thompson. Suggested by another friend, going there with very high expectation.

We booked a table at 6:30pm, and arrived much earlier. It's a very hot day and when we arrived, they haven't ready yet, and have us seated outside to have drinks to cool down while waiting. Cocktails are quite nice, especially in such a hot weather after half an hour walking from hotel.

They have a mini store selling ingredients, from rice to oil, etc. and cooking classes as well, interesting.

After waiting for a while, air-cond is on and we were arranged to sit inside. Nothing luxury but friendly interior with some nice painting hanging on the wall. Waitress are very relax, not like other high-end restaurants, they are kind of casual, a big too casual for service.

Showing us a tasting menu and a la carte menu; as we were in a rush that my friend would have a conf call in 2 hours; we decided go straight to the tasting menu.

The appetizer is very special, it has rice spirit, something like Chinese white wine; followed by a fruit drink to clear the throat plus a fruit before starting the courses.

Many courses including soup, pork, fish, baby lobsters, king prawns, etc etc...5-6 items; all are Yummy! especially the pork and fish, the sauce was so good that I had a big plate of rice.

Dessert-3 courses...mango with sticky rice, coconut in ice, and a big plate of everything in there...we couldn't finished but really satisfied.

Small restaurant, kind of cozy feeling. Highly recommended for people who likes Thai food.

Have been here for several times, whenever I came Emporium for shopping. It's something like agnès b in HK; side business of a fashion brand and food quality is not bad at reason prices.

Bangkok is always an ideal destination for short break, say just 3 days 2 nights. 2 hours flight, no need to plan and just get the air-tickets and reserve hotel in a few hours, then GO!

This time, a friend was going there for business trip and I just bought the airtickets and share the room, what a nice saving plan

Have visited Bangkok for over 10 times, so I don't have any place to visit in mind, just want to relax. The only missions are to try 2 great restaurants here, Breeze and Bo.Lan, Spa at Divana Spa.

Booked a week in advance by email, got the best view seating at the balcony with my friend; just 2 of us. It's like private dining room, Perfect!

Located on the 52 floor at State Tower, weather was so nice to have breeze and not too hot, clear sky and lively streets in the city.

From the moment we entered the building, premier service standard and smiles from all staff made us feel great! Waitress uniform is beautifully designed, architecture is kind of masterpeice with detailed layout.

Waitress pleasantly show us the wine menu, Chef's tasting menu, a la carte as well as drinks menu. This is my first time here, it's for sure a good choice to have the tsating menu. It's 4,500 for the set and $6,500 with wine paring.

Appetizer-foie gras with salmon roe and lobster with caviar, so good
Soup-choose either shark fin soup or musroom soup. My friend chose shark fin one, I don't eat shark fin so I had the musroom soup, very nice. There was prwn dumpling in it with spanich
First course-sea bass, high standard
Main course-I had the prime angus beef and my friend changed it to lobaster, both were excellent
Dessert-green team chocolate, nicely presented

As my friend was coming for meeting, cannot take the wine pairing and we had 2 cocktails. No disappointment, they made it seriously.

Always have fine dining in HK, but with high quality of food and service plus the view, it becomes a must-try.

Many people's first comment would be, were there all foreigners? I'm happy to say, NO. There are some Westerners, but larger proportion of customers are Asians. Don't be so shallow that only Westerners can spend, nowadays, you can always see Asians around in most splurge places.

Next to a commercial building Emporium Tower and a famous high-end shopping mall, Emporium. Very convinient to have the sky train next to it and taxi always available.

Because it's not a hotel, it's a serviced apartment that suitable for long-stay, the room layout offers a home-feel with spacious bedroom, big balcony, living room and a big kitchen (bigger than ordinary apartments in HK). It's just another choice out of 5-stars hotels that I stayed before, such as The Sukhothai Hotel, The Dusit Thani, Banyan Tree, etc. Not Thai traditionally decorated, but it can be a "home".

Swimming pool is not bad, went to swim in the morning after breakfast. Breakfast is not really good there, compare to other hotels; but there are cafes around.

Located on the 65th floor, it's kinda very top in Bangkok although it sounds not compare to many high-rise buildings in HK. It's real masterpiece of architect, Rome style with a bar in the middle of a upper splitted floor.

People dressed up here and party, excellent live band performance under the beautiful view...life is so good!

Will try their food next time!

It's a place to experience the tradition of Okinawa, to see how's the housing and interior of the old days, folk dancing, living style, etc. Once I arrived, the folk dance performance started and it's great! at last, they invited everyone there to join, and I had great fun there.

Having a cup of coffee in an old house is another life style experience

It's my first time visiting seafood market, impressive! Have been to Tokyo many times but never have chance to go any kind of these interesting places, where requires early morning visit. For this one, very "customer-friendly" as it's basically a wet market with restaurants on upper floor and around to do cooking of what you purchased.

It's not large but offering wide range of selection, everything looks great and I have only one stomach, haha Merchants are very friendly, no hard selling and I met one lady whom is originally from FuJian, China, working there to serve Chinese speaking tourists. All stores are more or less the same, so, pcik this one with a Chinese lady, easier to communicate

Bought a combo of sashimi, a pack of uni (limited supply during this season), Lobster (sashimi and use the head to make lobster soup), 珍珠贝 (kind of shell). They have a partner restaurant nearby, and I ordered Orion (local beer) and fried vegetables...Everything is Perfect!

One of the highly recommend shop is located in the street market, called 海想, accessories are made of natural materials from the ocean such as shark's teeth bones, shell. Some textile products such as t-shirts, are all made of chemicals-free materials, nice style.

Snack shops, salt shops are very popular there; I bought several packs of local sweet and sea salts.

There are some T-shirts shops selling funny slogans t-shirts, people can tailor-made as well, just give them your ideas and it can be done in hours.

Found a home-style cafe in a building, nicely decorated and very cozy place to enjoy a local style coffee and home-made cake, surprisingly good

The steak is suprisingly good, medium rare, and it's very soft, good smelling of beef taste. Delicious! There is udon and rice comes with the set,...making me, so FULL and Satisfied

Located somewhere hidden, kind of old house re-built as a 2-floors restaurants with outdoor seatings area. Several private dining rooms located on the upper floor, large dining area and outdoor seating in the garden, by the hill surrounded by green natural environment.

Famous for pork, and basically all sets are pork-focus dishes.

So many items in the dinner set, and everything is fine and yummy
There is one impressive dish in the appetizer set, kind of tofu and the texture is very creamy like cheese with wine taste. Deep-fried pork as second dish and pork slices in hot pot as main course...so good. Although the portion is big, I finished all

Tried their own branded Japanese wine, 30%, must be drink it as cold with ice and water (optional). Quite strong, and it's good with the pork.

Atmosphere is great there, not playing Okinawa music buy Jazz! Mix and Match, another taste of style.

My first time to Okinawa 
2 days after the earthquake and Tsunami, still love to GO! Action wins, sending my deepest greeting to people whom are suffering.

Purchased a 6 days package, fly HK Express business class and stay at Okinawa Marriott; cost around $10K plus, sounds reasonable.
I planned my whole trip from a-to-z, visited all places I planned to go, no disappointment, everything is so nice there and worth to visit.

The funny thing is, gym, pool, sauna are not free of charge, which is rather strange for an International hotel. The pools are nice, outdoor and indoor with massage pool. The gym serving basic things, enough for exercising everyday before enjoying great food there.

Service is excellent, it's Japan Although their English level is rather limited, they always do their best to help.
