BGM: Floris Arlequin Grand Place Hotel [Breakfast]

Two chocolate danish a day wouldn't harm!

I recall having a bit of a hard time trying to decide on which value-for-money hotel to go for in the old town area of Brussels, Belgium. My BFF and I ended up in Floris Arlequin Grand Place Hotel (3*), which offers a splendid view of the town from its breakfast area on the topmost floor.


Assorted Stuff #1

I didn't see many varieties on the buffet line, but the food looked decent. While the scrambled eggs could be milkier, I enjoyed them as they were pretty velvety, going well with my favourite Heinz tomato sauce. Moreover, I was glad that the bacon strips were moist. Besides those, I took cheese, salami, cucumbers and tomatoes.


Assorted Stuff #2

Surpassing my expectation, the chocolate danish was truly delectable as it was highly crispy, besides being buttery with an adequate amount of chocolate. I also had a wedge of cheese and a cup of mango-flavoured yogurt. Pika's advice: The pastry items are really popular, so do grab them while they're still available.


Fruits

I saw three types of fresh fruits: apple, orange and kiwi. I didn't take any of the apples as I don't really fancy them. Instead, I took a bit of canned fruit cocktail, fishing for more grapes and cherries.


Cappuccino & 

I had a cup of cappuccino from the coffee machine, which was leaning more towards the mild side. I also tried a glass of tropical fruit juice, which turned out to be a tad too sweet for my liking.

Melon's Rating
Taste: 7.5/10
Ambience: 7.5/10
Overall: 7.5/10

The breakfast area isn't that big, but the tables are not too close to one another.

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.

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.
