Topic series (New!)

Just in case you are wondering what the previouis blog title was all about, I borrowed an idea from Tom Peters blog (check it out - www.tompeters.com).

I had the idea while in Singapore, I'm gonna start a couple of series in my travel blog. The first to get started is the Burger Tales, since I look for burgers when I travel. My focus will be fast food chain burgers, the burgers in restaurants is totally out of budget...sorry.

The second series will start next trip, coz I forgot to take a picture! It's called Hotel Hot Shower Rating. Why? Because one of the most important amenity when you check into a hotel is how the hot/cold tap work, I have seen brillant idea where you get the right temperature everytime to idiotic implementation where you never know what to expect! Wait for this... ;)

A third series that I'm comtemplating is toiletry containers. I always appreciate nice design, and my wife loves to collect them -- yup! the cupboard is full of them!

As usual, feedback are welcome...

Burger Tales #1

This happen one week ago.

One of the highlight of travelling is to try new food. Me being not so adventurous type, will try new franchise fast food chain food.

Today I tried MOS burger. Compare against the industry standard, McD (ok, ok, some of you are going to differ, but really, the result is the same), 100% healthier! Except...except...look at the size of it! 50% smaller, I think 100% smaller than a Carl's Jr (btw, my current favourite).

So here's my rating:
Healthiness: 4 out of 5
Presentation: 3.5 out of 5
Value for Money: 4.5 out of 5

Overall Rating: 4 out of 5

(I'm still working on the rating components and categories, I welcome any suggestions ya)
