Delicious Thai place we found while looking for (photo-worthy) restaurants in the area. It has a large garden, making it perfect for small parties. At the time we went, someone proposed there on the lawn! 💍 It's quite far from main Tagaytay (about 25-30 minutes away).

I’m gonna visit this famous by-the-cliff spa and use my one night and massage package gift certificate. My much awaited retreat.

The best Shrimp and Lobster Rolls in Manila! I’ve had the pleasure of trying this way before Bun Appetit had their own space in weekend markets, food courts, and malls.

A great place to buy souvenirs. The market is huge so come prepared with a map. Easy to access via Mo Chit BTS station.

Best Popiah for me; Popiah skin is just right in terms of texture, moisture and thickness. Filling is flavorful; deliciously satisfying at just 98 calories per roll😀Price for 2 rolls : SGD4.40.

Best place to get your bubble tea fix after a hot day in the sun! the pearl milk tea is really good & has a unique taste compared to regular chain bubble tea shops 😌

Good food that will not burn a hole in your pocket. Very courteous staff who knows their way around. I tried their Jambalaya, St Louis Pork Rib and nachos and they were all winners!

When you share your special experiences on Lemi, you help local businesses thrive despite all the challenges they face.
Our Story
We built Lemi because we want to live in a world that’s filled with passionate small businesses run with heart.
As globalization continues to make the world smaller, we find the same big brands on every corner, no matter how far away we fly. Meanwhile, unique local businesses struggle because they don’t have the resources to compete with international names.
These authentic local businesses embody the true character of a culture, city, or town. These are places where we create our best memories. Some are just around the corner, while others are on the far side of the world.
Remember those places where you discovered food that changed your understanding of a cuisine, where you met people whose totally different ideas made sense, or spots that helped you find comfort in the unfamiliar. These are our gems, and they are treasures that need our help.
When you share these special experiences on Lemi, you help local businesses thrive despite all the challenges they face like high rents, stiff competition, and unexpected economic downturns. You make it possible for them to gain new customers who are from other countries. Small actions make a huge impact.
That’s why we built Lemi.
Why people love Lemi
Lemi is the answer I had been waiting for. I always struggled to keep all my travel notes, itineraries, memories in a single place where I could effortlessly organize, look back and share them. Lemi fixed all that.
