His Master's Voice, London, England

I often got asked which play list I listened to.  My answer none.  I even stopped buying songs from iTunes.  Those compressed sound files are somewhat not appealing to me, though I am not insisting on a zero-loss sound quality.  Perhaps my. brain is still with how the sound vibes from the vinyl disc.  That's what a Master's voice is.  

Said Cafe, Oxford Street, London, England

This place seemed to have been opened for a while.  The staff simply didn't know how to use the menu and yet they don't how what is on the menu.  We ordered an iced black coffee but then they came to tell they didn't have any ice cube and said they were making a new one.  So the new one is still without any ice but room temperature.  Regardless of all these chaotics, their coffee and chocolate are very impressive.  Hope to come back some time later.

Breakfast at the Z Hotel Gloucester Place, London, England

Sometimes a nice breakfast is not about the variety.  When I saw my favourite French jam served, it's already my appetite for starting a breakfast. 

Fish n Chips, at the Rock & Sole Place, London, England

Came here with friends and some of them visited London for the first time.  After we brought them to try pies, we shouldn't miss fish & chips.  We ordered a skate fish, rock fish and sole.  When they were served on the table, we made a mistake.  We should order one for 2 persons.  The fish was deep fried so well that it's very crispy and not too oily.  The problem was that as it's a such a large portion that you couldn't finish it all.  When you are half way done, the fish was a bit cooled down and became not so tasty.  The chips were somewhat disappointing.  It wasn't that rich in potato flavour.

Battersea Pie, Covent Garden, London, England

Tried a mushroom chicken pie and it's quite a standard one.  Personally I like it the way they did't make it too greasy and heavy, and yet it's not in heavy seasoning or sauce inside.  

Stature of Queen Victoria, Windsor, England

This stature wouldn't be a stranger to HK people.  She simply reminds me of my school time in Victoria  Park of HK.  Finally I saw her again at her hometown.

The Duchess of Cambridge, Windsor, England

It was quite crowded for many restaurants in Windsor, especially on Sunday.  Pros and cons - we could try the local popular Sunday roast.  The roast beef was a bit too well done but the yorkshire pudding and the steamed carrot made the lunch pretty hearty.

Windsor Castle, Windsor, England

Didn't take too many photos on this trip.  The sun light was too bright on the buildings to make the bricks look like "hard rocks".  I'd rather hope this place in a gloomy weather.  Then indoor photo taking was not allowed.  It was pretty crowded inside and you couldn't stop but just kept on walking.  Even though there are many tourists visiting, it's very dusty inside.

Z Hotel at Gloucester Place, London

Chose this hotel because of its convenient but quiet location a bit north of Marble Arch.  It takes 5-8 minutes to walk to Oxford Street.  The hotel is quite cozy and with a very high ceiling.  The room is very spacious too but somewhat interesting that they didn't put any chairs/desk.  Only 2 bed stands but nothing else.

The streets of London at 9am

Bill's, Greenwich, SE London

Noticed it's quite crowded during lunch/dinner time.  So we came here for an early brunch to avoid the crowd.  Got a foie gras pate, caesar salad, shepard pie and a chicken skewer.  In the recent years, quite many dishes are in a trend for some enhancement, i.e. caesar salad with a poached egg.  In general this lunch is not bad though not something very impressive.Gr 

No. 1 Lounge, Terminal 3, London Heathrow Airport

On the outbound journey to Europe, my flight had a four hour stop at Heathrow.  So I got curious to check out the lounge (under Priority Pass) of Terminal 3 (Terminal 5 is only for BA and that it takes at least an hour of shuttle ride among terminals of Heathrow.  Though I had 4 hours for the transit, it was still a bit hectic to me to catch my flight because the security of Heathrow isn't that smooth.

Back to this lounge, it's very well facilitated from lounging area, food station, shower service and entertainment.  It's easy to spend a few hours here.
