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 […]

Blue Lagoon Resort, Chuuk, Micronesia

This island/archipelago has an identity crisis in more ways than one. For starters, Germany occupied them during World War One, naming the location Truk, with a long “u” sound.

JW Marriott Hotel, Shanghai, China

“It would be a shame, if after 3 years of living in China, you never visited Shanghai,” I confessed to my girlfriend. “So let’s go for my birthday,” was her response. Done. 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 […]
