Come along with Frommer's and discover two of Asia's most intriguing destinations. Our author has scoured every inch of this region, and she'll share her cultural insights and favorite discoveries with you. Her guide is much more complete and in-depth than its major competitor.

In Singapore, you'll find the best places to stay, from high-tech business hotels to affordable finds, plus an amazing array of dining choices. Follow our author's fantastic walking tours, which introduce you to hidden gems in each ethnic neighborhood — you'll find Hindu and Buddhist temples and Islamic mosques mixed in with modern high-rises, colonial architecture, and even a real-live rain forest still growing at the edge of the urban area.

In Malaysia, we'll take you beyond bustling Kuala Lumpur to discover beach resorts; the colonial architecture and amazing dining scene in Penang; idyllic islands; traditional villages; and great opportunities to shop for Malaysian handcrafts. We'll even visit Borneo, where rivers meander through dense tropical rain forests, beaches stretch for miles, and caves snake on for miles. In the many national parks that protect this spectacular jungle, you'll meet tiny deer, tinier owls, monkeys, and the increasingly rare orangutan. Experience all the adventure with Frommer's in hand, knowing you can rely on us for accurate information, practical advice, and useful maps.

Loved it! Very informational. I did feel it could be improved though with more pictures and more sites and tour ideas which it doesn't show

Traveling to Borneo next year so got this Frommers to see what it could tell me. Not too much detail about the area I'll be going but great general info on the culture, etc. of the entire region. Frommers has never let me down

3.0 out of 5 stars limitations of guide books

Guide books have their place and I usually buy one when I travel. They have their limitations and, unless you are looking for accommodation or dining advice, probably aren't much more use than the free tourist information hustled everywhere.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth my time
Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2011

This book should not EVEN include Malaysia. Way over half the book is about Singapore. It barely mentions any destination in Malasia besides KL. The few large cities it does mention, little to no relavent travel info is covered by this book. Oh, maybe if you're a museum nut! That's not my kind of travel. The hotel references are made from a rich elitest snob point of view. I don't want to, and can't afford to stay at $400 hotels every night! My advise to you....BUY ANOTHER BOOK...NOT THIS ONE

2.0 out of 5 stars Mayalsia? Look Elsewhere!
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2006

Although the title of this book would make one think that both the CITY-STATE of Singapore & the COUNTRY of Malaysia would receive coverage equal to their size, think again. Two-thirds of the book is devoted to tiny Singapore and the rest to huge (in comparison) Malaysia. I guess it's not so surprising when you learn that the author lives in Singapore and is married to a Singaporian! Frommer should be ashamed of their title. It should more accurately be "Singapore with a Section on Malaysia"!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for Singapore, Not for Malaysia
Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2008

Other reviews have mentioned that Malaysia (especially Borneo) is given short shrift. I agree. The Singapore section is helpful, however. In planning our trip we relied on Lonely Planet more for peninsular Malaysia and Borneo.
