I Like "Mat Salleh" Breakfast
sometimes... but I don't usually opt for a breakfast if we stay in a hotel unless it's on club level. Can't really stand the din, early in the morning at the buffet area. Usually it's breakfast in the room. Unless of course, it was Le Meridien. kakaka... Gosh, I wish I can stay there longer.
Anyway, at the "discounted hotel" that we are staying (will be checking-out Sunday. Boo!) we decided to try and sit down at the restaurant and enjoy the breakfast buffet. Note to self - go down earlier tomorrow to escape the loud, middle age, government servant'ish, talk about multi-million dollar projects crowd. Good thing there is no tourist groups of any nationality at the hotel! Fussy, aren't I? I certainly am fussy about my peace and quiet.
100-Plus in the second photo because well, I just did 21K and head straight to breakfast that day. Staff still smiled at me and didn't turn up their noses at the lady soaked in sweat barging to their classy club lounge to eat! LOL
Oh..I had enough already.. :)
ReplyDeleteso nice?? i remember my europe trip last time, we had just nice buffet breakfast for the first day.. the rest of the days, just coffee and (hard as rock) bread for breakfast.. :(
DeleteNever been to Europe so don't know whether I'll get jelak of all these "mat salleh/orang putih" breakfast if I do get there. ^^
DeleteSK - at least you got coffee and bread! LOL
I used to like mat salleh breakfast very much..especially kalau dok kat hotels hehe..sekarang pun suka jugak sebenarnya. Cuma tak selalu pegi hotels je huhuu..
ReplyDeleteI loved your SCKLM photos. Tengok gambar you berkerut sebab nak cilok2 tu memang teringat kat diri I sendiri :P
Well done Lina! Hope we meet up soon :)
Sama lah... dah kureng pegi hotel, kurang lah breakfast "kelas" kekeke
DeleteHow's your foot now? Hopefully its recovering well.
Ada plan for any race soon?
indeed!! i actually like "mat salleh" breakfast, hahaha!! maybe it's because we don't have it that often??
ReplyDeleteif i'm staying in a hotel, and provided that breakfast is included, i will be very looking forward to the breakfast buffet..
ReplyDeleteI actually avoid breakfast buffet if I know the crowd will be big, the place noisy & busy.
DeleteI like peace & quiet while eating breakfast so most times, I'll opt to eat in the room. ;p
place continental breakfast and local breakfast in front of me, for sure i will choose the former and totally ignore the latter..
ReplyDeleteme too! :)
Deleteimagine the toast (and the melting butter), all sorts of pastries, COLD CUTS, sausages, scrambled eggs, bacons, baked tomatoes etc etc.. wow, really scrumptious and lavish!!
ReplyDeletedon't forget cheese too!
Deletei would have also taken what you have taken in the photo!! hahaha.. and most of the times, second helpings for the cold cuts and sausages!! hehehehe, i just lurve them!!!
ReplyDeleteI would go for the third and fourth helping too! ;p
Deleteso after your lavish breakfast, lazying around and getting all ready to check out now?? and then heading back to your own (messy) home~~ :D
ReplyDeleteeeeiiii! My home not messy lah! ;p
DeleteAte lavish breakfast, laze around then hit the gym then only check-out lor.
Now, no more rich woman mode. huhuhu
wah, so good they serve 100 plus for breakfast?? or it's a separate order?? i'm happy enough with the (fountain concentrated cordial) juices they serve, haha!!
ReplyDeleteThat 100-Plus was served at Le Meridien. Club level mah. Free flow of drinks all day long. ;p
DeleteI'm happy if I can get a decent cup of coffee. ^^
come to buffet, i think i love buffet breakfast the most!! and ramadhan buffet the least, because i always think ramahan buffet is very very very overpriced!! i can spend like 10% of the price to stuff myself enough at the "street buffet" at ramadhan bazaar~~ haha!!
ReplyDeleteI also think Ramadhan buffet overpriced. At a time when one is supposed to learn and appreciate the act of restraint and suffering, a lot of people decides it's good to stuff themselves with food.
DeleteMight as well donate the extra money that they are spending on the buffet to oprhans. :(
Yo! U sure sound like a fussy grandma!! LOL... Kekekeke
ReplyDeleteI takut to bump into you at the breakfast dining area.. Sure Kena one!
kekeke I sure am right?
DeleteBut no worries. Rather than whacking you, I just avoid the place. I won't be nasty to people for being "uncouth" ;p
I love western breakfasts too! If they have long buffet styles, my eyes will roll with delight!
ReplyDeleteI don't need long buffet line, just the essential will do - bread (a whole variety of them), cold cuts, sausages, sauteed vege and I'm happy. ;)
DeleteYour photo 1 & 2 sure attracted my eyes! So appetizing la.
ReplyDeleteEat them better experience than looking at them! hahaha
DeleteThe best hotel breakfast I ever eaten was at Sheraton Kuching which scared the hell out of me! It was like a lunch buffet instead of breakfast! Ended up I could not eat lunch.
ReplyDeleteThat's good! Save money on lunch! ;p
DeleteThe other good breakfast were at resort hotels in Phuket and Angkor Wat, Siem Reap.... The rest are forgotten and Blergh! Blergh!
ReplyDeleteLucky you, travel raround. *envy*
DeleteI like ALL my Japan breakfast. Pretty quiet and well behaved crowd, those Japanese. ;)
Wah!! You must have stayed at 5 bintang hotels la.... All mine tadak breakfast one...
DeleteWe made sure the hotel provided breakfast lar. They are all business hotel and cost less than 10,000yen for three of us per night. Great deal for our yen. ;p
DeleteThe worst breakfast hotels were in my whole China travels in Beijing, Hebei Chengde and Etc... They all eat white porridge, plain buns, fermented veggies, salted eggs and Chinese tea!!! KNN...no kopi or bread!... Blergh!
ReplyDeleteI experienced that too. Porridge day in day out. Bluek!
DeleteOnce was nice. But everyday for me, suffer man!
If I ever visit China again, which is my next on list, I will bring Coffee 3in1 and a bottle of sambal belacan with me! I am not kidding!!! My wife will pack cup noodles too. Only applicable for China trip. LOL
DeleteLOL
DeleteWah! You eat sambal belacan ah?
I bring cup noodles when I go check-in to a Genting hotel! kekeke
Honestly, I started to change my taste too. Since last year, I stopped booking cheap hotels online after some unpleasant experiences with their shoddy bathrooms and horrible breakfasts. I thought that I should pamper myself with nice rooms, baths and good breakfasts for extra money, rather than thrifty and unhappy! Life is too short. Just enjoy la.
ReplyDeleteI like your new taste. True. Enjoy! ANd don't grouch about money too much. ;)
DeleteWe are the same too. Anyway, since I'm fussy; we usually are loyal to a few hotels and don't stay at hotels we are not used with. Too much trouble if something not meeting my standard.
Now that looks like a real, proper, nice, cholesterol-supporting breakfast. None of this silly healthy miso soup, rice and fried fish stuff. :-p
ReplyDeleteHow dare you say that! （￣□￣；）
DeleteI like them both. Alternate is best. But have been guilty mixing bread breakfast with miso breakfast in one sitting. Sue me. （・∀・）
The wife and me actually missed out on our free breakfast last week cos I was still running ... damn!
ReplyDeleteThat's a motivation to run a sub-4 42.195 next year Nick! LOL
DeleteIf I'm doing it next year, I need to make sure I can finish by 10.00am latest to enjoy my continental breakfast! hahaha
I like to send u a postcard..pls email me yr home address.
ReplyDeletelina, since I have started making my girls western breakfast, they love it. I have promised to make western breakfast on every Sunday morning.
ReplyDeleteSomething different. :)
DeleteI guess kids do love western style breakfast. ^^
You can ask your daughters to make them together also on Sunday morning. My son loves to "cook" his burgers and hot dogs. :)
