BA 777-300ER, business class, London-HKG

Originally booked the A380 upper deck business class on the window side as there is a side cabinet for more storage and personal space.  Later on BA changed the plane to 777-300ER.  Pros is the higher ceiling.  Cons is the noisier cabin as compared to A380.  Also, on the flight back, the cabin moisture was a bit too low that I seldom put on body lotion 2-3 times during the flight.  The most unbearable part was the seat which wasn't cleaned at all with some dried out food pieces.  Though we changed to another seat, it was the same.  

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.  

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.  

Paul Edgware/Marble Arch, London

Seems like I am a QC to check every Paul branch around the world wherever possible.  A few years ago Paul branches in London didn't serve a full menu but this time they did.  So I took a full breakfast plus a coffee.  Service and coffee are good and the food is average though not too bad.  

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.

B787-9, Bahrain to London

Gulf Air has launched a new business class seating for its 787-9 fleet.  This one is much more spacious but yet very private in its suite design.  To some extent, it's even bigger than some first class seats like BA.  The only issue is their slow service.  It takes 3 hours for them to complete the meal service.  So you can be hungry again by the time they serve dessert.  It may not matter much if it's a day time flight. I'd skip the meal for the night flight.

British Airways enhanced inflight products, London Heathrow to HKG

About 15-20 yeas ago, BA had a TV ad. highlighting their 180 degree flat bed business class seat, which was quite innovative.  It has now appeared this seat isn't that appealing when Qatar Airways introduced their Q-suite, Etihad with their luxury suites and SQ constantly with their award-winning spacious suites, BA fell much behind from all these.  BA announced its enhanced inflight products by offering their bedding and overnight amenities of the White Company.  In addition, their meal service has been improved much.  I was surprised they made some very nice seafood congee even after long hours of flight before landing.
