W Hotel, Hong Kong

Simply Amazing!

I can not recommend this hotel more!

This was our welcome to the best hotel I have ever stayed in.

Complimentary cocktails, plus a picture of the surprise welcome for Rachel's (my girlfriend) 30th!

The Hyatt Sunday Brunch

The Hyatt Sunday Brunch was recommended to me several times, so for Rachels 30th birthday celebration, we gave it a go.

They did not disappoint, we were spoilt with the normal selection of seafood, roast meats, cheese boards etc, but they had a few unique touches to their brunch. A satay station was a welcome introduction, there was actually quite a lot of open fires/bbq in the open kitchens, which gave the whole restaurant a great aroma. They also had a live fish station and a extensive sushi station.

We opted for the free flow option, (what else!) and the champagne on offer was Perrier-Jouet.

I have seen slightly better dessert stations at other brunches, however again the Hyatt put their own twist of things by offering something different, liquid nitrogen meringues!

The Longest Table in the World!

On July 25th, 2011, we visited Little India, Singapore to be part of a World Record attempt. The worlds longest table, seating 550 diners, and spanning 160m down Racecourse Road.

The novelty of sitting on a massive table with loads of random people diminished and my focused turned to the food! There was about 30 dishes, all coming from different Singaporean Indian Restaurants. The food was fantastic, all your favorite Indian dishes. The most interesting dish was Quails egg Masala, although it wasn't my favorite curry, it was at least a different take on a classic.

CNY tossing the salad

Our Chinese New Year Celebrations included 'Tossing the Salad'. This is when everyone puts their chopsticks into the salad and tosses it together. The action of mixing the 'yu sheng' is called ‘lo hei’, and hei means ‘to rise’, again symbolising prosperity.

So throwing it up in the air should hopefully bring you prosperity.
