hotel hopping - part one

As I mentioned earlier, on April this year, I got a new settled job. And from June to July, my new job required me to attend and host several seminars held in hotels. And so, there I was being hotel-hopping. In total, I attended six or seven seminars, and each of which required me to stay for 3 days and 2 nights in a hotel. Besides all the work-thingy, I kind of enjoyed this hotel-hopping though. The room is nice and you don't have to make up your bed. The food is fine and it's free. The wifi is okay. And in one seminar, I got a suite room located on 27th floor. In several occasions, I also managed to hang out until midnight with my friends. So it did not seem like we're working at all. And the best part is, of course, I got paid. Anyway, I will not post each of the hotel-hopping experiences that I got. I will only post three of them, and the first one is Padjadjaran Suites Hotel.

Padjadjaran Suites Hotel is located in Bogor. It is actually a small hotel, especially when you see it from the main entrance. It has only 5 floors, but the rooms are fine. From my room's window, I could actually see Pangrango mount, if I'm not mistaken. And since it's located in Bogor, the air was fresh (and really cold in the morning). 


The first meal that I ate in the hotel's restaurant is dinner meal. The meal served in the buffet is pretty similar to those served in any other hotel's restaurant: appetizer that consists of soup and salad, main courses that offers choices of beef, chicken or fish and fruits and desserts. That night I decided to eat the fried rice with beef curry and stirred pak choi. I also tried the finger-size fish chips and the cream soup with crab and egg. Overall, the food tasted good. And the menu offered is pretty various.


On the second day, the lunch's buffet still offered similar menu with those offered for the dinner, and I ate the tom yum soup which tasted good and freshly sour. I also ate the fried rice (they actually also offered rice) with chicken stew and cap cay. All fresh and tasty.


To be honest, my favorite meal whenever I stayed in a hotel is breakfast! I love omelette so much! I never miss it. And for my breakfast, I ate salad with mayonnaise, watermelon, omelette with beef and chicken sausage and drink the fresh guava and orange juice. See? I am so greedy when it comes to breakfast!


And last but not least, here is one of the snacks they serve during one of the coffee break sessions that we had. Fruits tart and otak-otak (fish cake). And I made them into this straight-face looked emoticon. The fruits tart tasted so yummy and the otak-otak was tasty as proved by the fact that I ate more than one of otak-otak.
