The way I see it

Let's get something out of the way right now. This is neither the best nor is it particularly western. It is, however, not a bad place to stay in Hong Kong.  Fairly centrally located near 'Times Square' according to the signage this hotel is independently operated and is not a "corporate" hotel. The people were generally very friendly and helpful for the most part. The location superb. Right off the airport bus line e11 and a stones throw from the mall.  Great eateries surround this hotel so you won't be disappointed. The decor is... interesting. The room ambiance is highlighted by this wonderful chandelier. Is this a mirror???  NO! It is a mirror frame with a lovely accent of wallpaper. The bed was nice but rather unsupportive overall I would say Location: 10/10 Comfort: 6/10 Friendliness: 7/10 Value: 7.5/10

Popeye likes spinach and Wimpy likes burgers... given my immense physical prowess it is obvious to see who I have more in common with... Menu showcasing their signature oblong Burger patty We went to Wimpy's on an unforgiving late January Friday lunch and had a great meal and a pleasant dining experience.  It had been a couple of years since I ate at Wimpy's and it was a fine time to com back! I actually have fond memories of this place as it is a place that my father loves and it always brings a smile to my face to go here with him. Location is everything in the world and this place is located in a good place just up at the top of Lundy's Lane Niagara Falls, Canada beside the outlet mall. Where the people at? Today, however, they were not being killed with customers. In fact, we were the only ones there!   It was OK though I actually enjoy being the only diners sometimes as you can feel like you are there to seriously judge and inspect the food and if you ar...

During my recent trip to The Traders I sampled just about everything they had to offer except in-room dining. The grill and steak house was offering specials relating to mushrooms: specifically wild ones. Coming to dvd mushrooms gone wild... unrated! The land menu meaning anything on land... well almost anything A lovely olive roll French onion soup.  The soup was very tasty but the cheese was a bit mild and tasteless. The portion size was huge and I felt full and a bit bored by the time I reached the bottom. Cream of mushroom soup.  The mushroom soup was a very normal puree mushroom soup. It was not bad just nothing special - a very fresh soup. Steak and mushrooms.  A sirloin steak with sauted wild mushrooms and spinach. The side was potatoes au gratin (scalloped or cheese potatoes for those not initiated). The steak went very well with the mushrooms and was cooked to a perfect medium. Ribeye steak.  By far the star of the even...

When looking to stay in Kuala Lumpur (KL) the options are nearly limitless - from high-end luxury to quaint boutiques to backpackers' budget. I recently stayed in the luxurious Traders Hotel which overlooks KLCC park and is opposite the iconic Petronas Twin Towers. A note before I get started - this hotel is not cheap! The room I selected runs you back about RM550 but is definitely worth the cost should you want the indulgence. Parking and reception. The reception is split between three floors the ground floor the first floor and the fifth floor. The parking believe it or not is actually in the convention centre lot which I am told has a separate security guard and is free for overnight guests. The concierge is located on ground, group check ins on first, and general check ins on fifth. The reception staff were efficient, had impeccable English and customer service skills. The man who handled me answered all of my questions accurately and informatively and generally gave me m...
