Carluccio’s, Canary Wharf, London, UK

In January, 2015, I was lucky to have a good excuse to be back to London. And one of my routine in London is to see my good ex-boss at the breakfast table near his office in Canary Wharf. Carluccio’s seems, regardless of my favourite routine visit, famous for its splendid but reasonably-priced breakfast, even though they have a big franchise in UK, so always crowded.

My favourite here is, in fact, “Colazione Magnifica” for my choice of free range eggs, but that morning they did not accept it for omelette, so I had to order a simple omelette with mushroom as above 🙂

Taste? Yes, it is as always, I put some salt and pepper on it, it is yet another routine in London.

Club Lounge, Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi

5 years after, I am now back to Hanoi, Vietnam.
As same as HCM City, or even more, capital of Vietnam has been developed further, wider highways, more high-rises, more cars, but more people and warm atmosphere have not changed.

And, I am back to Sofitel Legend Metropole. While I was told it has been kept redeveloping, it keeps its tradition to sustain their hospitality which I have been in love with them.

Now, let’s see our favourite dish. To top on a slice of the back truffle, they serve a mixture of vegetable into egg source for cook, with seamless rugby football shape. Yikes! Inside is well-cooked but you can enjoy a bit of egg source in a juicy manner which I like.

In general, they are operating exclusively for their executive lounge customers, but I suppose they offer this omelette as a part of breakfast menu at restaurant for hotel residents.

Enjoy!

Executive Lounge, Conrad Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR, China

At last, I came back my second home, after losing any business reasons to visit to Hong Kong since December 2012. But, it remains there; appearance remains, staff too. But, Pacific Place proudly announces its 25th anniversary, so that renovation here and there is unavoidable for the visitors being attracted to come back, naturally, and our executive lounge is also applicable.

More stylish appearance, and more spaces (this means less kitchenette behind the scene), hence more tables and chairs, but more comfortable indeed. And dishes served there is even more: free accessed oven, keeping temperature around 70 degree to keep your bread and scone warm, bigger fridge offers more drinks and cold fruits and home-made yogurt. And, better omelette 🙂

The day I took a shot was a day for omelette with bell peppers, with almost seamless rugby football shape, though it was served in a large pan with steam warmer (you cannot expect your chef cooks for you by order due to space), but considering past experiences in HK, it was indeed improved. Well done!

I now started to find and create another excuse to be back my second home now 🙂

Kingsway Hall Hotel, London, UK

Now that I am back in London after arrested in Tokyo for 8 months due to many reasons. This time is my first ever participating an weekend offsite meeting of a company group, yes, still business but many to learn, many to know and many to come across. Interesting indeed 🙂

And, I won’t miss this opportunity lol

The offsite meeting has been held at Kingsway Hall Hotel in Covent Garden, London. Unlike my preference, no Hilton, no Accor group, but a private family own, a sort of boutique hotel, refurbished from a theatre.

Room is simple but pleasant interior, with fast-speed wi-fi (with no limit of data transmission), so no stress to work at room :-p But, whirlpool is… just a spa so do not have to bring your goggle for serious swim 🙂

Okay, now is the time to talk about breakfast. Quite British buffet style, so you won’t miss black pudding and potato, as well as a range of cereals as usual. A breakfast included to BB rate serves you two free range egg, say omelette, inclusive (yikes!).

As you see, hum… two-folded style of omelette, with less egg juice, maybe I asked bacon and mushroom in it, or not. But, thanks to crispy bacon and , you can enjoy mixed textures of crispy, softness and chunky 🙂

It may be good to stay at boutique hotel in London, with very private atmosphere like this.

Radisson BLU Waterfront Jersey, St. Helier, Jersey

And, I at last came back to Jersey, Channel Islands after 18 months of missing, due to a big fact that a year 2012 was an Olympic year in London so that I was anticipated not to work once I came to U.K. so that my smart boss prohibited to come to UK.

After 18 months, I saw many changes in London, and even Jersey too.

My second home in Jersey, Radisson BLU Waterfront Jersey got a big blue sign on the top of the building, replaced its fitness operator, etc., but their pride of “Super Breakfast” remains as it is.

But…. as you saw above, omelette shapes different from what we saw before that I suppose you agree when you saw my past article. I would say here, innovative shape, however, I wonder if it is comparable with other omelettes around the world… Let’s see how they tweet back to this article.
