Rating: Great Location

Our second hotel, in the scenic “ancient city” of Hoi An is the Anantara Hotel (a great hotel in general). Like most resort hotels, it features a buffet breakfast.

The second floor setting is amazing. A lovely breeze blows off the river beyond.

Various (semi) exotic juices.

Including this one I’ve never tried.

Lots of fresh fruit. Vietnam is a very wet and green place, and full of silty rivers, which means its fabulous farmland.

Fresh rambutans.

And Dragonfruit!

Not your everyday fruit salad.

The bananas here are little, but tasty.

Fresh yogurts.

Salad.

Cheese.

Cold cuts.

Packaged yogurts.

Cereal.

Pad Thai. On different days, this was different noodles and the like.

Congee again, and the requisite toppings.

Chicken.

bacon (two kinds).

Baked beans again, I guess for the Brits. And chicken sausage.

Pork sausage and pancakes.

An omelet bar.

Pickled vegetables (very good actually).

The Pho station! It’s never too early for Pho.

Here is the result.

Oh, and being a former French colony, Vietnam has great pastries.

And coffee.

Overall, this was a pleasant breakfast. If we hadn’t just come from the amazing Saigon Intercontinental one, it might even be great.
