It's not like I filled out a survey of my preferences before my stay...I think the housekeeping or room service staff just noticed what I ate and drank during my first couple of stays, and took action accordingly. Simple, yet most effective.

Any other favorites to share?
Hogan...great idea for a thread! And welcome to FlyerTalk!

I think my favorite amenity was at the Shangri-La in Bangkok where a huge fresh fruit basket with unique fruit from Thailand was kept full all week long. As soon as I'd eat a few pieces, other types of fruit would "magically" appear to replace them. I don't think they ever repeated the same fruit twice.
I'm not sure what 90% of the fruit was but I consumed most of it and lived long enough to post this report......
