Apéritif Restaurant & Bar
Viceroy Bali
With more than 200 hotels & resorts I visited & stayed, for me, a good "dining experience" is the best way to really enjoy staying in a hotel. From casual dining at the hotel restaurant to full-course dinner (3-course, 4-course, 5-course, 6-course, 7-course, and 8-course) to afternoon tea. Here are my amazing "foodgasm" experiences' all throughout my hotel staycations (no particular order). And, see how many Chocolate Lava Cakes I tried!
Foodgasm
(a term which comes out from the combination of the words "food" and "orgasm") is a neologism that indicates a pleasurable and euphoric feeling of satisfaction that occurs during the consumption of particularly amazing and delicious foods.
