Anova Hotel, HaNoi Airport, 5 February 2018
Not the most extensive breakfast I’ve ever had. But what there was, was nice, and nothing wrong with it. Bearing in mind that the hotel cost $25, I’m still minded to give it 2.5/10.

The Fleming, Hong Kong, 2-4 February 2018
A very pleasantly presented breakfast, albeit with relatively limited choice in each category (that could be because I had breakfast after 10 am – jetlag). Nothing wrong but nothing spectacular either. However, the fact that the milk was UHT brings the overall rating down to 4.5/10.
BA World Traveller Class
Let’s face it, I did not have very high expectations of this. Hence, I wasn’t disappointed. Admittedly, I didn’t have the cooked breakfast (chicken congee or ‘full English’). But I’ve had similar before. Eat this if you’re very hungry. Score 2/10.
Schaulinenhoeve, Baarle-hertog/Baarle-Nassau, 7 January 2018
Very pleasant breakfast on the whole and very friendly service, eager to please. Nice selection of bread and cold cuts, and opportunities for extras. However, surprisingly for a hotel in The Netherlands, no cheese at all. That, and the lack of loose-leaf tea – somewhat off-set by glasses for tea…
White Villa Hotel, Tel Aviv, Israel
22-28 December, 2017 Breakfast on Shabbat (the first three pictures) a very basic buffet, one type of bread only and fairly sparse, but understandably so. No challah, which is surprising. During weekdays it’s different. You get a nice little tray with bread and condiments (varying from olives and jams and…
Bezalel Hotel, Jerusalem, Israel
21-22 December, 2017 Nice enough, but, by Israeli standards perhaps less good than could have been expected, notably on the bread front. However, the choice of breads improved on the second day, on which they also added shakshuka, a major plus. 6.5/10.
BA First Class
20 December, 2017. We were upgraded to First Class on the flight to Israel. The breakfast shows that you can get excellent food on a plane as well. If you fly First Class. But, given the cost of a First Class ticket, is it worth it? 6/10 .
Hampton by Hilton, Pulkovo Airport
We had an extra night in St Petersburg, courtesy of British Airways and bad weather in London, so this is from 11th December 2017. This was a very nice spread, although the bread choice continues to disappoint. Even so, 5/10.
Pushka Inn, St Petersburg
7-10 December 2017. Nice breakfast, the bread and the tea selection (given that this is Russia) perhaps a little bit disappointing. But a reasonable spread, with enough choice and nice fish. 5/10.
BA Club Europe
Served on BA878 to St Petersburg, 7th December 2017. The egg & cheese omelette was not bad, the toast decent (difficult on a plane). Airplane food is generally not so great, but, as such, I’d still give this a 3 out of 10.
