  • Oriental Renovation

    ...we've been enjoying Christmas dinner at the Oriental for over a decade: drinks at the Bamboo Bar to begin, then dinner either on the Terrace or at Ciao, their seasonal Italian restaurant...a great location, a great hotel, a great evening:

        Nice to see they're still doing the seafood buffet at Lord Jims. An occasional indulgence, followed by a couple of civilized cocktails at the Authors Bar with the ghost of Somerset Maugham. And his little boys. Comes in at around $100 AUD a head though- but damn it's good.

          God, the panic within the Dems, MSM, and left must be horrifying...realizing that Joe is really the best they've got.

            That's The Oriental that I'm familiar with -
            The romantic eras some 150 years ago.

            Most forget it's history and the resident characters.

            Don't know if the property is protected within an historical or heritage principalities - as it should be.

            Fvck the corporate modern sensibilities of what it is today.

                Well lets face it- colonialism did have it's benefits. To the Colonizers.
                Actually, comparing say Malaysia to Thailand, the colonized got a few scraps out of it too.

                  ...agree: one such scrap being familiarity with a language that facilitates progress toward better lives for citizens vs a cocoon-based existence...

                    Yes indeed. Back before air conditioning and microwaved food.

                    When the Raffles Hotel in Singapore did its remodel job some years ago it spoiled the whole vibe.

                    It's all gone...

                      Such as the English-speaking cultures?

                          Quite noted.
                          As this was the intention regarding the homogeneity.
