I read three or four reviews. That was enough to imprint that yellow text on my vision for two hours. I thought I was being attacked by bees! You try reading it on a 32 inch tv.
I love how you keep track of how many words you've written! It is a lot but you've got a nice, easy style that I am already familiar with, so it wasn't a chore to read...
On the serious side, I would consult this blog were I to opt for a nice night out in a restaurant or for other practical purposes. Say, if I had a particularly bad case of insomnia.
I remember a certain B.D., who used to work at TBI, once had a great idea for a hospitality consultancy that would specialise in customer service training. Bad service seems to be endemic in Jakarta. Perhaps we should get together and form some sort of training school for hospitality workers?

May i suggest a review of Elbow Room in Kemang? Gastro Pub that stocks some good Belgium beers as well as those fruit beers you like so much. Recommend the Raspberry beer. Goods food on offer as well including the hard to find Cheese Fondue. Downstairs looks a little bland and cold but upstairs is nice and relaxing with big plush sofas to plank yourself in.
Took the Mrs there on Saturday and we liked it. Unfortunately my Mrs lightly vomited hers in the corner of De Hooi shortly after arriving. She says it wasnt the food, just the sight of Dilli after he had been enjoying free beers for 5 hours.
Its just next to Nu China if you are going marmz - book a table upstairs

Its a done deal, Mr Chew. How could I not take food recommendations from a chap with a name like yours? As for fruit beers, it surprised me that I liked them. I was determined to hate them. Thanks for some constructive feedback. Unlike
Don't get all paranoid Marmz. I believe somewhere at sometime I said I enjoyed your reviews. Do you want me to say it again? I didn't take you for the type of guy who needs constant reassurance.

Do you think it's easy becoming a review ninja? Marmz had to go through an intensive training regime. Luckily for us mere mortals, some bootleg footage has just been leaked.
Watch and learn, Piss-san.

The soufflé was as flaccid as an Irishman's Bintang induced brewer's droop. One star out of five.

He's so fastidious in his acerbic critiques of restaurant service...neglecting to mention that he turns up ripped to his not so tiny tits to most of these places and then urinates on the hors d'œuvres.

This site has now moved away from the blogger platform and is now on wordpress at the address in my signature. Would appreciate (constructive) comments.
