Fares to London from $3,200 – hooray!

April 24, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I’ve get grumpy whenever I think about booking a flight back to London. I missed out on all the amazing sales and promotions in Jan / Feb and have been annoyed ever since when searching for tickets back. How on earth can Cathay be charging $7,200 when a) there’s a global economic crisis in full swing and b) they’re in dire need of all the bookings they can get?

Anyway, Air New Zealand to the rescue! They’re running a promotion until 15 May for return flights to London. If you book now you could bag yourself a seat from $3,200. PHEW. You can travel between 2 May and 30 July and then again from 12 August to 30 November.

The best steak in Hong Kong

April 23, 2009 · 2 Comments

Morton’s schmortons. If you want the best steak in Hong Kong there’s only one place to go and that’s Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse. Sure, it’s not given away, but the steaks are so tender and juicy that they just melt in your mouth.

We had two normal sized filets, the Petite Filet and a 16oz New York Strip plus baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, gratin potatoes, brocoli, spinach and a tomato salad. We ate the whole lot, plus pudding, it was that good.

Really, this was the best steak I’ve had in a long, long time; cooked to perfection and served by knowledgeable, friendly and not overbearing staff.
