Breakfast benefits

May 15th 2008 01:02
I would officially declare myself a breakfast lover. If people can be divided into meal categories, I would slot in nicely into the small, bright eyed bunch of humans that put a serious amount of effort into their first, and most important, meal of the day.

Breakfast is to me what dinner is to everyone else, I believe. I have a sweet tooth, and apart from dessert, breakfast is the only place I can really indulge this and call it an actual 'meal'. So, it is to my absolute delight and pleasure to bring to you my first ever breakfast review.

The only reason I can justify going out for breakfast is that it was actually my birthday yesterday-so, I'm permitted to indulge. Which I did, with pleasure, at The Hilton hotel in Melbourne at approx. 8:30 this morning.


The Hilton is lovely-right next to the Carlton gardens, with a fantastic view. The buffet breakfast costs $26, and the full breakfast (including hot food) is $33. This includes the following:
-Four different cereals
-Four different honeys
-Four different breads
-Five choices of jam
-Eight types of pastries
-Four variations of muffins
-Salads
-Cheeses
-Fresh fruit, dried fruits, various nuts
-Bacon & salami, and salmon cream cheese
-Eggs, any possible way you like them
-Coffee, made however you'd like
-Six differet sorts of juice, plus a juice maker so you can create your own
-Yoghurts
-Stewed dates and cherries
-And any thing else you want, upon request.

I swear, I felt like I need to create a song in order to describe this buffet. I was in breafast heaven. I wanted to twirl around the buffet like Maria on top of the mountains in The Sound of Music, that's how overwhelmed I was. It was just....fabulous.

All topped off by the lovely waiters, that constantly kept filling up my coffee mug, and gave us complimentary champagne upon discovering it was my birthday. I swear, I could easily fork out that money in order to dine there daily. If I ever actually earn enough to do that, I'll know I've made it in the world of breakfasts. I'll also probably need a fantastic gym membership.

However, the Hilton is just...lovely. I would say that any hotel has a similar buffet menu, and in time I'll visit the others, I'm sure. But for now, I'm content with the fantastic, professional service I received there, along with the lovely food.

mmm, I swear I was offered coffee over ten times in an hour and a bit...never mind that I only took the waiter up on the offer twice, it was the principle of always offering me coffee that I loved.
