VIE: Golden Lotus Cruise [Part 3: Breakfast]

A very simple breakfast before kayaking...

After the decent dinner the previous day, we chose to relax at the upper deck of the Golden Lotus Cruise. If sitting down and enjoying the night breeze sound too boring for you, fret not, you can sing karaoke or try to do squid fishing with the crew. Afterwards, we really had a good night sleep.


The breakfast provided on the second day was downright simple. I guess I'll just give an overall score for the taste at the end of the review. 


Sunny-Side Up Eggs & Ham

The sunny-side up eggs were a little bit oily for my liking, but the yolks were still pretty moist. The slices of ham were adequately thick and mildly flavoured.


Bread

The slices of bread came with unsalted butter and strawberry jam. 


Banana

The bananas were of the right degree of ripeness, and thus nicely sweet. 


Tea & Coffee

While the coffee was only mildly strong, the tea was pretty strong and aromatic.

Melon's Rating
Taste: 6.5/10
Ambience: 8/10
Overall: 7/10

Pika's advice: Early birds may want to do tai chi, a type of Chinese martial art, before having breakfast. Otherwise, you can sleep a bit longer just like what we did. Haha... After breakfast, we went to do kayaking for an hour. Behold, the beauty of Ha Long Bay on a sunny day!

SIN: Yoshinoya

Trying it again in Singapore after years! Yoshinoya is the second largest chain of gyudon (lit. beef bowl) restaurants in Japan. Although its first shop opened in Tokyo, the name of the chain actually pays homage to the former town of Yoshino in Osaka Prefecture where its founder hailed from. After years of giving Yoshinoya in Singapore a miss, I recently found myself revisiting one of its branches at Bugis Junction.

SIN: Flipper's

Pancake x  soufflé originated from Tokyo! Hailing from Japan, Flipper's is a chain café renowned for its fluffy, jiggly soufflé pancakes. While I've never had the chance to try the pancakes in its country of origin, I was excited to finally experience them at the Westgate branch here in Singapore, which has been drawing long lines of eager patrons.

Surprisingly rich chocolate mousse! Here's the last post to wrap up the travel to the Americas. After travelling in the Business Class cabin from Panama City, it was time to head to the back of the plane for the next leg of the journey from Istanbul, Turkey to Singapore. Despite the more modest comfort, the food wasn't too shabby.
