Grand Hyatt lunchbox

CLSA conference this week, my colleagues and I are running back and forth from CK to Grand Hyatt 3 times a day and our office has never been this quiet and peaceful before.

The conference this year has been a lot more humble than the previous yrs. We don't have Al Gore or Alan Greenspan or Bill Clinton as guest speakers, the focus this yr is mainly on green energy and world peace, we got representatives from S. Africa or professor at Yale giving us lectures that the world will sooner or later die if we don't change our inconsiderate behavior.

Probably because they save a lot of money on speakers, their service is superb and offer a lot more hospitality than ever. Breakfast, late breakfast, lunch, tea time snacks, early light dinner all provided and served by the hotel, basically we don't have much spending this week except cab fare.

I shamelessly took a lunchbox back to the office on Monday and enjoyed my four course meal in front of bloomberg tv. Prepared by hotel chef including a green papaya salad with shrimp and scallop, a cream mushroom tart, turkey and zucchini sandwich and a chocolate cake with blueberry jam, comes with a pack of saltine and a piece of brie.
