A love-nest for a naughty Paris tryst.
That is how we would describe a stay at One By The Five, an intimate hotel located in the fascinating Latin Quarter made up of just one-five room suite that has been specifically designed to be the base for the ultimate romantic hideaway. It has no sign, no lobby and no hotel staff! The Five Hotel parent hotel is situated right across the street so when you check in, the hotel staff gives you the key and you check in with total privacy.

Damon Yuen matches wine with Northern Chinese cuisine.
Shanghainese cuisine, an amalgamation of Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisines, is often difficult to pair with wine because of the two common practices in Shanghainese cooking: one, the use of sweet alcohol and, two, the use of sugar, especially with soy sauce (eg. sweet and sour spare ribs)
When sweet alcohol is present, the palate experiences an unpleasant bitterness and burning sensation when confronted with tannic found in dry wines. Traditionally, the best pairing is the Chinese Hua Diao (Chinese rice wine) which is sweet, has a low tannin and is high in alcohol content. However, in my studied opinion, this is not an ideal pairing due to the high alcohol content and high sweetness level, which is a bit of an overkill.

Kuala Lumpur luxury.
The Ritz-Carlton is located on the west side of Kuala Lumpur’s Golden Triangle district right in the heart of shopping heaven providing easy access to business and entertainment hub that is Bukit Bintang. What we love about staying at the Ritz is the extra attention to detail and excellent guest services which include your very own personal butler to take care of everything for you. Where else can you enjoy top class service at a fraction of the cost of a night’s stay in a Ritz in Europe?
If you’re in the mood to splurge, the Ritz-Carlton offers a High Performance package for the coming Formula 1 from April 1-5, 2010 that includes tickets for 3 days to the races positioned at the starting grid and access to the pit lane.
