This is a Shangri-La. Breakfast should be excellent. And it certainly is. A very nice spread of warm and cold dishes (of course), Western food as well as East Asian. Perhaps a little weak on the bread, but two types of honey compensate and the egg bar, the cold cuts…
After the rather sparse breakfast we had at the Bolor Hotel two days ago, our chef, Sugar, decided that she could do much better. She certainly did! A lovely cheese omelette, nice sausages, a pleasant range of condiments, juices, yoghurt etc. Everything cooked on a tiny little stove seen in…
A fairly sparse breakfast – all pictured – but the salami was decent and the tea was warm. And that’s about it. It gets 3/10 because I’ve give 2.5 to worse.
A small, but surprisingly varied breakfast buffet. Different kinds of bread, condiments, some nice cold cuts and plenty of vegetables and cereals. Extra points for the fish roe (I dare not say from a sturgeon). A mixture of local, East Asian and western food. Nice choice of fruit as well.…
Today, I had one of the best breakfasts I have ever had. The buffet was fantastic: obviously local (Vietnamese), but also a choice of Korean, Japanese, Chinese and Western food. The bread justified the saying “Vietnam has the best baguettes east of Paris“. Plenty of hot dishes of all kinds,…
(Today happens to be the 75th anniversary of Vietnam’s of independence in 1945. Amazing time to be here.) A nice buffet breakfast, somewhat balanced towards Asian food, but enough European to satisfy those, like me prefer that cuisine for breakfast – although I sampled some of the local dishes as…
I normally prefer western breakfasts, the one area where western cuisine – in my opinion – is superior to others. But the egg fried noodles looked delicious and I opted for them instead. This is a small airport hotel with a handful of rooms. Obviously, there would be no breakfast…
A lovely hotel in the vicinity of Glyndebourne. However, my overall prejudice against the English hotel breakfast was, broadly speaking, confirmed. No buffet (fair enough), although there was a small side-table with pastries, jams, juice and yogurts. Tea in bags only. A choice of three or four set breakfasts. The…
I find that American hotels are less and less likely to offer breakfast. However, this one does have a small buffet (albeit only for hotel guests). Nothing wrong with the offerings, but also nothing special. Standard selection of breads and bagels, a couple of warm dishes, juices, fruit. No cheeses…
Again, not a buffet; and bag tea. But, on the other hand, the breakfast was served in the restaurant where John Jay, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin celebrated the ratification of the Treaty of Paris in 1783. The scrambled eggs were good and the choice of tea bags was ample.…
