BLT Burger, Times Square, HK

Haven't got a chance of trying this shop in Ocean Terminal due to the constant long line (even at 4pm).  The last time when I tried to check this branch in Times Square, I got discouraged by the indifferent waiters and the reciprocated transparent receptionist.  This time they hired another one too see the customers right.  After the try, I had to go back to Cafe Caussette (MO HK) to come here and check out what a real American burger is!  A nice beef patty shouldn't be marinated.  Then the bun need to be browned on the pan to make the inside crispy but yet soft inside.  Just some lettuce and tomato with the beef patty with your choice for the mayo and/or ketchup.  BLT made it!  I love their potato wedge as well - very fresh potato and nicely fried.  When I checked the menu, I felt like I was in CA.  There I found something I seldom ordered in CA but this time I took it - Chinese chicken salad.  I think the last time I tried this one was almost 15 years ago in Soup Plantation.  Seeing it in HK is just like seeing an old friend.  The meal is really hearty.  BTW, the beef burger is so big that you can share it with the other.  It's not expensive in considering this jumbo burger.  A set of burger with fries and soda is at just HK$138.

Greyhound restaurant, Cityplaza, Taikooshing

Was told by the Greyhound little fans that the first one branch in HK (in IFC) isn't good.  So when this one was opened in Taikooshing 2 months ago, I didn't give it a high hope.  The little fans couldn't help from holding too long for their favourite chicken wings.  Why not another try? 
Turned out all the dishes we ordered were pretty good, except the iced chocolate was a bit too milky.  Though the prices are double of their Thai branches, it's a good alternate choice when you look for some Greyhound Thai fusion cuisine.

Dee Lite, DoubleTree by Hilton Sukhumvit BKK

Came here for a lunch buffet on a Saturday noon time.  There were 3 tables and then left 1 (mine).  The food is so so.  Only the pumpkin soup and the bread station made it up.  The good part is that you can have a very silent place to dine.

Goodbye Meeru Maldives

This resort is really big that I could spend a day on the north side and another day on the south side.  The room type diverse from garden room to honey moon suite, catering for each person's budget.  The house reef may not be attractive here but the fishes are and yet the water level is quite even that you wouldn't feel scared for getting too deep except for a few big holes.
