Breakfast in Brussells, Belgium

Un petit-déjeuner-buffet dans un hôtel de Bruxelles, en Belgique.

Le Warwick Barsey hôtel a une ambiance cosy, notamment grâce à ses lumières tamisées. Un style très britannique comprenant boiseries et bar à whisky.

Le petit déjeuner est servi dans la salle de restaurant immense et décorée de tableaux, de fauteuils, de lustres et de vaisselle en porcelaine.

On peut y trouver des croissants, des œufs brouillés, du bacon et des saucisses, du saumon fumé, mais aussi des fruits, des jus, des pains de différentes sortes ainsi que des laitages.

C’était très bon, particulièrement  avant d’attaquer une journée pluvieuse.

A buffet-breakfast in a hotel of Brussells, in Belgium.

The Warwick Barsey hotel has a cosy feeling, thanks notably to its soft lights. It is very British styled, including wooden panellings and a whisky bar.

The breakfast is served in the huge restaurant room, which is decorated with paintings, sofas, ceiling lights and chinaware.

For breakfast, we can find croissants, scrambled eggs, bacon and sausages, smoked salmon and also fruits, juices, various kinds of bread and dairies.

It was very good, particularly before starting a rainy day.

Breakfasts on the move 2 (Bangkok to Chiang Mai)

After only 24 hours spent in Bangkok, we took the night train to Chiang Mai, in the North of Thailand.

-> Bangkok train station at night with people sitting on the floor, waiting for their train to arrive.

In the train, from the lady who takes orders and delivers food to the passengers, we chose a dinner and a breakfast for the next day.

The next day, when she arrived with our breakfasts, she agreed to have her picture taken.

This wasn’t a good breakfast at all, and so far away from an Asian breakfast. No rice (I had actually had asked for a rice porridge but we misunderstood eachother) ! But buttery sandwiches made of white bread and ham, sliced apples, fake orange juice and weak hot drinks.

Still, it was entertaining to have it while going through the forest of the hilly North of Thailand.

-> Chiang Mai train station in the late morning.

Breakfast in Luang Prabang (Laos)

A Pho at Luang Prabang.

Pho is a traditional breakfast, an habit shared among a few Asian countries. Laotian and Vietnamese for example eat this dish made of Pho noodles (flat thin rice noodles), beef and herbs in a beef froth, which is cooked for hours. Chicken versions also exist. On the side, you often have a selection of herbs, seasoning (and here bean sprouts) to arrange it at your taste.

The noodles, the restaurant and the dish share the same appellation : Pho. Simply.

If you want to eat this specific one, you can go to the peninsula of Luang Prabang. At the corner of the street, 50 meters away from the Wat Xieng Thong, you may find it !

Nasi Campur Guesthouse Breakfast

Nasi campur : “nasi” means “rice” in Indonesian/Malay (because rice takes a major place in Malay/Indonesian cultures, there are many ways to call rice rice in these two countries. The “paddy” is the rice taken from the fields while “nasi” is the cooked rice). “Campur” means “mix”. Then a nasi campur is steamed rice + a mix of what’s available. Here, rice with omelette, chicken, coconut salad, tempe, potatoes, chilli sauce and fried tofu.

Nasi campur : “nasi” signifie “riz” en indonésien/malais (parce que le riz tient une place centrale dans la culture indo-malaise, il y a plusieurs façon de nommer le riz dans ces deux pays. Le “paddy” est le riz juste cueilli tandis que le “nasi” est le riz cuit). “Campur” signifie “mix”. Donc un nasi campur est composé de riz cuit à la vapeur + un mélange de ce qui est disponible. Ici, du riz avec de l’omelette, du poulet, de la salade de noix de coco, du tempe, des pommes de terre, une sauce pimentée et du tofu frit.
