That sinking feeling...
"Tea arrived and was poured – and looked woefully weak. Kay commented on this, but the waiter didn't seem to notice and carried on pouring anyway. As soon as he'd gone we lifted our teapot lids and poured the tea back in, noticing as we did so that the 'tea' was actually tea bags." Kay and Dave sample afternoon tea at the Eastern & Oriental's 1885 Restaurant – and get less than they bargain for...

An Italian gem
"We sat down and looked at the menu. It was short, but laid emphasis on natural, freshly-prepared ingredients and hand-made pasta and pizza dough. This sounded encouraging. After a friendly chat with the waiter, we suddenly realised that time was marching on and it was only 25 minutes until their closing time! So we ordered, and prepared ourselves for a wait – which in the end wasn't very long at all." Kay and Dave stumble across a little Italian gem in Penang.
