Hotel review: Anantara Siam, Bangkok (Siam Suite) Bangkok, May 2018 Introduction After a beach holiday in Hua Hin I had booked a room for one night at Anantara Siam in Bangkok. I wanted to try a new hotel and this would be our second Anantara experience on this trip after checking out their sister property Anantara Riverside Resort about a week earlier. This time I booked a Kasara Club Room directly from the hotel's website. The price was pretty much the same everywhere, but booking directly got us an afternoon tea set for two at the lobby for free, and that sounded like a fun thing to try. Check-in and lobby We arrived at the hotel after 2pm, pretty close to a normal check-in time. Anantara Siam, The Lobby Our bags were immediately taken care of by the welcoming staff, and we were seen to the most luxurious lobby I'd ever seen. This really looked like a five star hotel to me! The hotel radiated elegance and style, and there

Review: Restaurant Pegasus, Tallinn

Before leaving to Tallinn I made a few bookings to different restaurants, and this one was called Pegasus. It's located in the Old Town and we hadn't been there before so we wanted to give it a try since the reviews in Tripadvisor were quite solid.

We were running a bit tight on our schedule since we enjoyed the Hilton Tallinn Park's lovely SPA for quite a while, so we used an app called Taxify to get a ride from the hotel to the Old Town. It was easy and affordable! 

The building itself isn't one of the prettiest in this part of the city but we weren't going to sit outside and look at it :) Otherwise the area is quite lovely!

We were escorted to the 2nd floor and to our table by the window overlooking Niguliste kirik (St. Nicholas' Church).

Menus were brought and we were thrilled to find so many interesting dishes.

First we were served complimentary house bread, which was warm, succulent and looked amazing. It was basically white bread that had also beer in the dough giving it a darker color and a terrific twist in taste. There were pumpkin seeds in it, too. It was served with butter with salt grains on top. Perfect!

For children there isn't that much choice, but ours went for a chicken pasta, which was big and tasty.


For starter I had Oriental Duck Salad, which was absolutely superb. A lovely mix of ingredients and different Oriental flavors with nicely prepared pieces of duck. It looked great and tasted even better.

My wife ordered a Creamy soup from wild mushrooms. It was smooth and full of flavor. There were croutons in the soup, and they were also just perfect: not too soft, not too dry.


For main courses we chose a Bean stew on toast, and Wild game picked by the chef.
My wife fell in love with the toast and I agree: it was incredible. Real comfort food at its best. The goat cheese on top of the toast hit the spot. There was a poached egg that was again beautifully done.


The game dish was exquisite: meat was tender and the surface of a beautiful, grilled color. Lingonberry-red wine sauce worked really well with the game. Baked red onion was mostly savored by our child ;) The dish looked like a piece of art.

For dessert we shared Apple stewed in red wine. It was interesting and well prepared although perhaps it wasn't so much to our liking compared to the rest of the meal which was outstanding.


We had a bottle of Prosecco which was a good choice since it worked well throughout the meal.
Service was friendly and professional. Well done!
