Vana Belle - Kiree International Restaurant

We ate breakfast at Kiree as part of our stay at the resort. Overall, the breakfast spread was excellent, with plenty of options to suit different tastes and cuisines. The à la carte menu was particularly strong and, in my opinion, better than the buffet. Incredible ocean views as well, both inside and out. On our first morning, I ordered the açaí bowl from the menu. It was delicious but surprisingly small. Since no one explained on the first day that we could continue ordering from the menu or offered additional items, I ended up supplementing with the buffet, which wasn’t nearly as good. On our second morning, I ordered the avocado toast, which was excellent. Unfortunately, while I was still eating it, a staff member attempted to clear my plate (I was only 1/3 of the way finished). I repeatedly said that I was not finished and asked them not to take it, but it was removed anyway. Thankfully they told us this day that we could order more, so I tried (twice) to reorder so I could finish my breakfast, but neither replacement matched what I had originally been served. The eggs were undercooked, the toast wasn’t toasted (just bread), and I ultimately never got the chance to finish my meal. It seemed possible that the staff were trying to rush the end of breakfast service, which may explain why my food was taken before I had finished eating and both replacements were undercooked in multiple ways. However, regardless of the reason, it was frustrating to have my meal removed after clearly stating that I was still eating. Had I been allowed to finish the original avocado toast, this easily would have been a 5-star breakfast experience. The food quality was very good and the service was attentive, but not listening when a guest clearly says they are still eating put a significant damper on the experience. I left hungry and disappointed, which was unfortunate given how strong the (original) food itself was.

Dined here after their impressive catering at the hotel's wine event. Food was good. Flavours and freshness of the produce were nice, and so were the presentation. Hospitality and service active and thorough. Although some hiccups with the food: I found my seabass to be under portioned, while my companion went for the salmon and it's just so sumptuous in comparison. The prawn bisque had two scallops in there - fresh and nicely flavoured - but, the soup itself lacks this dense, fatty texture of the bisque and the one here is just a little too water down. Companions had very positive feedbacks on the salmon steak and the spaghetti aglio olio. Ambiance is calm and intimate. We dined indoors, cooly airconditioned, which I'd say is perfect to enjoy glasses of red with the meal. Their extensive wine list features some very nice bottles. I especially enjoyed one of the Chianti here.

This restaurant is the main restaurant in Vana Belle resort. It's on hillside facing to the sea. There are both Thai and Eastern menu. All of them are delicious. Staffs are kind and polite. I would like to acknowledge to one of the waitress namely
