Lebua at State Tower, Bangkok, Thailand

58 floors up – we had a great view of Bangkok, at least when the haze subsided. I wasn’t planning on making a trip here, but as Rachel was able to extend her stay after a conference she was attending, I thought making the trip down south to meet up with her might be a [...]

Le Petit Gourmand, Beijing, China

“I tend to meet potential clients over coffee” the web developer I was meeting with said through the phone.  I knew this meant there was no office, just a man who works from a computer at home. No worries though – I was once a freelancer myself and knew the routine well. While we were [...]

Kerry’s Kitchen, Shangri-La Kerry Hotel, Beijing, China

I was meeting my friends from the Charitarian for lunch but did not know the dining destination. To me surprise and delight, we decided on the new Kerry’s Kitchen, located just adjacent to the lobby. While this restaurant boasts on incredible buffet, happiness washed over me as I found the club sandwich on their a [...]

Outrigger Resort, Tumon Bay, Guam, USA

I’ve always been a fan of dining with a relaxing, wonderful view in front of me with little noise around to ruin the moment – and many restaurants just don’t offer this. In fact, these dining situations are hard to come by, which made enjoying lunch on our balcony after an afternoon of wakeboarding an [...]

Bamboo Lobby Lounge, Sheraton Miyako Hotel, Tokyo, Japan

We flew to Shanghai for a quick weekend getaway in celebration of her birthday… which meant at least one late night. And thanks [...]

JW Marriott Hotel, Beijing, China

Very meaty bacon; it’s the first thing you notice when biting into this club. And as hard as it is to get decent bacon in China, JW does a good job… something I’ve learned to expect from the Marriott brand. Unfortunately, the  sliced turkey was extremely poor quality of  - almost tasted like ham – and [...]

The Place Cafe, Beijing, China

The Place Café is a great local lunch spot in the central business district of Beijing.  And with their solid sandwich menu, the club is a definite standout.  They know what their doing here, even if it’s not the most traditional version of the sandwich; perfectly large ripe tomato, freshly fried egg, hearty piece of [...]

Ramada Hotel Yichang, Hubei, China

We arrived in Yichang, Hubei earlier than expected and I knew what the weekend held for us in regards to food: the best of Hubei’s spiciest culinary creations.  Knowing this in advance, I thought it would be a good idea to fill my stomach with something solid and calming, so as usual, I reached for [...]
