I’m quite excited to preview The Miele Guide! It is said to be the perfect sidekick for all serious foodies and gourmet travelers with iPhones! Yes this is an iPhone App. If you have an iPhone or iPod Touch, then you are able to download and try out the application!
For serious foodies and travelers, you’ll be pleased to know that there are 450 restaurant reviews in this mobile guide! Ever since I’ve got Chuck, my trusty iPhone has become the most convenient way to figure out what I want to eat!
I’m able to search The Miele Guide by restaurant name, top rankings, city or cuisine. it’s such an easy-peasy application. I’ll show you what I mean!
Personally I like searching via Cities! OK there are 16 Asian countries listed here: Brunei, Cambodia, China (including Hong Kong and Macau), India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Laos, Malaysia, Nepal, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. And… I pick Hong Kong!
The Top 5 restaurants for each country is listed in the guide and each country chapter features an insider’s perspective of the country’s dining scene written by The Miele Guide’s shortlist panellists, who are top restaurant critics and food writers in their respective home countries.
Yung Kee is listed under the Hong Kong! The place where Ken and I drop by for roasted goose when we were there last year! Well, if you are having cravings for a particular cuisine and is willing to plan your holiday around that craving, just search via Cuisines! I can just mark my favourite restaurants and plan my meal itinerary in advance.
I’ll go with Japanese. And woah. That’s alot of suggestions and lots of cities! Wasabi by Marimoto in Mumbai, India sounds interesting.
But honestly, I think the best best feature of this application is its ability to detect where I am and recommend the nearest top restaurants from The Miele Guide. That’s not all. The map views also show directions on how to get to restaurants. Don’t you love your iPhone? I love mine!
The Miele Guide is available via the Apple iTunes App Store at US$4.99. Kinda steep but that’s the price to pay to have Asia’s best chefs and restaurants at your fingertips. Check out www.mieleguide.com if you are interested.
