A good variety of cereals with yoghurt and milk as well as fruits in their juice. Sliced ham and salami of ordinary quality. Sweet spreads individually packed as well as the cheese. Definitely hard boiled eggs. Coffee is excellent, orange juice good. Toast comes in wheat and whole grain. Overall…
Another example of why the Swedish hotel breakfast is so good. The hotel was perfectly adequate, but nothing special yet the breakfast was excellent. Good choice of bread, nice spread of cold cuts, plenty of vegetables. Waffles of course and warm dishes. Only one type of cheese, admittedly, but a…
Yet another very nice and varied buffet. As befits a more cosmopolitan city, the Western/Eastern balance was more even. The bread is still somewhat disappointing, and the fact that the tea is only bags, and only two kinds at that, is also unimpressive. On the other hand, a good spread…
Another quite extensive breakfast buffet. However (and as was only to be expected), the Western component, while somewhat larger than in, e.g., Kaifeng, was still relatively limited. The bread selection was disappointing and the eggs were pre-fried, although otherwise it was a reasonable spread, including a decent choice of fruit…
I had to stop myself from taking more pictures. But I probably have not covered everything there is. So, in summary, a fantastic breakfast. Needless to say, Western food as well as East Asian (at least Chinese, Korean and Japanese). Lots of fruit, vegetables, bread of many different varieties, cold…
As I have written in the past, the one meal where I consider Western food essential (and I freely admit this is a very subjective view) is breakfast. Here, there was a very nice breakfast buffet, quite extensive, but almost exclusively Chinese. The one concession to the west walls white…
I am not sure what I had expected here, but the result was considerably better. A very large spread of both Western and Chinese food. On the plus side, lots of different bread, the tea was all loose-leaf, and a very nice egg bar. The fruit was sparse (two types…
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.
