earlier occasion was dull and dry.
Considerate and friendly service.
Take-away service is available.
Low muzak - but wouldn’t a
sitar be better! 96 577.0230 /

THAILAND
Rte PAD THAI: Same family as
own Buddah Palace (who have
moved across the road into the old
Shanghai opp. Humpty). A new
addition for Arenal. If this family
can be trusted then this, too, will
be a good experience but, for the
moment, it is too early to judge.
My Nasi Goreng (Indonesian !!)
was not up to the usual standard
of this owner. Further reports
welcome, please. 96 577 9824 /

CHINESE
Rte < The WOK BUFFET >:
Jávea (On roundabout opp. the
CAIXA Bank (formerly Barclays).
Recently re-furbished. Very good
for families and with an extensive
choice of shellfish included in their
super-bargain price. Eat all you like
for €11.95 (€6.95 for kids under 7).
Go early (12:30h for lunch, 19:30h for
dinner) when the huge spread is at its
best. Attentive service. No muzak. A
bit of a “canteen” ambience but this
is a high quality “fill-up” if you are
hungry and/or are feeding hordes of
kids. 96 579.7016 / daily 12-24h.
Restaurante (the 5-star) BENI
ASIA***** (BENITACHELL) :
Has undergone an excellent
refurbishment and, in parallel,
an improvement in the cuisine.
On right side of the Cumbre del Sol
road which leads off Benitachell
high street (left at traffic lights just
after Mas-y-Mas). This is regarded
by very many (including your writer
and former residents of Singapore &
Hong Kong) as one of the best Chinese
restaurants in the whole area, now
under the management of the son of
the charming owner, Fan-Fan. Duck
(Peking and “à l’orange”) a speciality -
of course ! Every dish tastes different
and the food here is free of MSG.
