This was an excellent breakfast, if with one or two very minor drawbacks. A fairly large buffet, featuring local food as well as western and regional. The Taiwanese specialties were delicious. The western food included a good choice of excellent bread,, some of them with a local tinge, various salads…
This is a very uninspiring breakfast. The tea is bags only, but at least the only kind available is oolong. There is a minimal choice of cold cuts and vegetables, with a “cheese” that could only appeal to some Americans (i.e., an indeterminate, plastic yellow slice with a faint resemblance…
OK, it’s unlikely that readers will come upon this place, but – a breakfast is a breakfast. And I am temporarily spending Sunday mornings in Hanoi biking with a very friendly informal club, whose rides always include a breakfast break; and indeed a coffee break. I wonder if they actually…
This was a somewhat unusual breakfast for the region. The buffet is medium-sized, but quite varied, that is to say, various kinds of cheese, fish (the smoked mackerel was excellent!), cold cuts, salad and vegetables. Also a very nice choice of fresh fruit, cut and uncut. The cheese, cold cuts…
My faith in the Southeast Asian breakfast has been restored! This was actually a smaller buffet than at the Royal Hotel Saigon, but considerably better. The one drawback I might mention was that the tea was, of course, bags only. But otherwise: the bread was very good, the croissants were…
At first glance, this would seem to be another of those excellent Southeast Asian hotel breakfasts. Unfortunately, the first glance is not confirmed by the second glance. Yes, there is a reasonable variety of local and foreign food. But, then disappointment sets in. The bread is uninspiring. The tea is…
A perfectly decent breakfast. It is a small buffet, some warm dishes a decent spread of called the dishes, including yoghurts, serial, fresh fruit, cheese and some cold cuts. All the meat is of course halal. On the negative side, the tea is bags only, but that is to be…
Etihad Airlines offers two nights accommodation in Abu Dhabi as part of their ticket so I took the opportunity to spend some time there. Breakfast is in the restaurant, costs around £12.50 starting from 6:30 am till 10:30. There is an egg station which I discovered only after I had…
I’ve actually reviewed this in the past, but it was a few years ago. This time, we went because it is my birthday. It didn’t start well, as the staff claimed that they were full with hotel guests and had no space. However, on being informed of the special occasion,…
Compared to the usual high standard of Israeli (and indeed, Middle Eastern in general) breakfast, this is something of a disappointment. However, it is difficult to pinpoint exactly why. There certainly is a very nice spread of the things you would expect to find, that is to say plenty of…
