Dad reviews Casamia in Bristol
Travel review: Hertz
When we travel, dad and I often need to drive. In fact, some holidays require driving to fully experience that country, like the wide roads of the USA
Car rental counters are never great fun. Especially after a long flight. The staff seem to take forever to process each customer with a laborious process to allocate a car
There are cheaper rental companies than Hertz but dad found out that you could get Gold member status after making just 3 rentals. So, we went with Hertz and have stayed with them over the years Continue reading
Travel review: Penang restaurant, Princeton
Dad and I are finishing off our series of New Jersey reviews by sharing the restaurant that serves the best Malaysian food outside of Malaysia
There is a chain of restaurants with the Penang name in New Jersey but this one on Nassau Park Boulevard just off US1 in Princeton is independent from them
They have Chinese chefs in the kitchen but they understand the important points about Malaysian flavour profiles. The menu is littered with classic Malaysian hawker dishes (read a little guide about Malaysian hawker food here) Continue reading
Dad reviews Patty & Bun in Liverpoool Street
‘Future mom’ and dad needed a quick bite to eat before a friend’s wedding round the corner from Liverpool Street Station. They found Patty & Bun. Although dad’s not the greatest burger fan in the world, see what he thought here
Our favourite theme park in the world part 2
Dad and I hope that you enjoyed reading part 1 of our review of Six Flags Great Adventure, our favourite theme park in the world, where we gave you some general tips about the park and shared our favourite roller coasters in the park
In this part, we’ll talk about some of the more family friendly rides and other attractions. The first topic is queueing. As with any theme park, it’s key to arrive early as often, in the first one or two hours, the park is relatively empty and you can get onto a lot of rides. If you’re here in the summer and staying close to the park, I would advise coming back in the evening when the park has emptied a lot of families with kids. Another trick is to eat at lunchtime when other people are in restaurants Continue reading
Our favourite theme park in the world part 1
Carrying on our travel reviews in New Jersey, dad and I would like to share our favourite theme park in the world. We especially love riding roller coasters and are air time junkies, air time being that falling feeling you get when something drops rapidly. We can therefore be found at the back of roller coasters, where the connoisseurs and air time junkies can be found – the front seats are for the tourists! At the back, you get the best falling feeling as the cars will be accelerating the fastest down the drops
Of course, I’m not strictly allowed on roller coasters as I could be classed as a loose item but dad has snuck me on a few. He tucks me into the front of his jacket and does it up really securely so that I can’t fall out but my head is sticking out so that I can see
So, which is our favourite theme park in the world? Continue reading
Travel review: Joe’s Crab Shack, Lawrenceville
Despite close to 16 months of dad trying to take ‘future mom’ to Burger and Lobster, he still had no success by the time we all went to the USA last June. For those unfamiliar with this London chain, it’s a no reservation restaurant chain which only serves 3 things – whole lobster, lobster roll and burger, all costing £20, which is great value for lobster in London. Whoever orders the burger needs an urgent lesson at the Malaysian school of value for money!
After flying in from London and an unexpected detour courtesy of the U.S. 1 highway exit ramp being closed from the U.S. 18, we were looking for some dinner although dad and ‘future mom’s’ brains were telling them it was 3am back home Continue reading

Travel review: Red Roof Inn, Princeton
On our travels, dad and I aim to spend most of our holiday time exploring rather than in hotel rooms. We do like the odd bit of luxury but generally, we’re happy as long as the room is clean and in a safe area
In the USA, there’s a myriad of options in the motel price range. I think it may be because there’s a tradition of long distance driving but there are many more motels and motel chains than we have here in the UK
As we tend to only need a place to lay our head for a few hours in Princeton, Red Roof Inn suits our purposes. We arrive late into Newark Liberty International Airport, drive 40 minutes to Princeton and this motel is located right on the US1 highway, which is ideal as dad’s brain is usually trying to tell the rest of his body that it’s the early hours of the morning back in the UK!
