Among the many wonders that travel delivers, one of the most extravagant is the hotel breakfast buffet. Especially in upper crust Asian or Middle Eastern hotels, it’s a work of wonder with great variety. Cereals from bircher muesli to Coco Pops, a rainbow array of juices, a pastry display loaded with sticky treats, salad ingredients, rice dishes, four kinds of salad dressing, crunchy spring rolls and a selection of breads that runs from baguette to sourdough to pumpernickel.
