Sheraton Kaiulani Princess – Honolulu, Hawai’i

In my line of work, I’ve been sent to some pretty unsavoury places on our planet, so it was a nice change to attend a conference in Honolulu, Hawaii. Not only did this give me the opportunity to spend a week on a lonely rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean during the southern winter, but to add some length to the Morning Glory by my own hand...

Ahem.

The clichés have been used ad nauseam with a certain meal being ‘the most important of the day’. The proof is in the poached eggs when you see the science on how a kick-started metabolism is the cornerstone of weight control and if you’re trying, weight loss. As this is a tourist-town in an annexed part of the USA, it’s not surprising that the only thing you can get for breakfast here is - you guessed it – American Style.

First cab (and might well be the last one) off the rank was at my motel, The Sheraton Kaiulani Princess in Honolulu. The cost of breakfast in my own hotel was the first thing to get me offside - twenty dollars (US of course) for a smorgasbord that only provides powdered eggs served as either scrambled or an omelette – of sorts. So let’s go through the items on my plate in no particular order of preference:


Powdered egg omelette: Contained diced bacon, onion, jack cheese, mushrooms and tomato.

Verdict – Wouldn’t feed it to a brown dog.

Turkey links: You can’t screw these up.

Verdict – As dry as the previous night’s martini.

Bacon: American style.

Verdict – Crispy and caused me to overdose on ‘meh’.

Hash browns: Made fresh with shredded potato.

Verdict – Undercooked and no where near enough seasoning.

Coffee: For my 20USD I was expecting a decent coffee. Not today. Americans seem happy to be over sugaring and guzzling crap-in-a-cup with non-dairy creamer.

Verdict – As bitter as a divorced lemon.

So there you have it. I know I might’ve come across as a bit of a bitch for my first Morning Glory entry (snigger) however I pride myself on giving credit where it’s due. That’s why The Sheraton Princess Kaiulani is getting none from me following this piss-poor effort.
