Rhonda Bracey: At Random

My inner wolf got the better of me and I’ve just returned from breakfast in the hotel. Gee, they encourage you to overeat! The price of the full buffet (EVERYTHING you could imagine, and more…) was HK$155 (about AU$22). I really didn’t want the full buffet, but when I saw the a la carte prices, I was swayed. An Eggs Benedict plus a cup of green tea was just a tad under the price of the full buffet.

So, like any good wolf on the prowl for food, I savaged the buffet offerings. It was all very nice, but as with any buffet, there’s a temptation to eat way more than normal, especially the things you love but rarely eat at home (like bacon and eggs and French toast and maple syrup…). I steered clear of the Asian breakfast makings – congee and the like. I wouldn’t know what I was eating in some cases, and I really didn’t feel like a Chinese feed at this time of day.
