Breakfast at Cyan, the Met., Bangkok

We try to always find a few nights to stay at the Metropolitan hotel in Bangkok. It's one of our favorites! And having the amazing brother team of Daniel and Shannon Moran working downstairs in the kitchen was always a bit of a drawing card ..... The brothers have both moved onto Parrot Cay now, also a COMO property Kim and I have worked at. Good luck guys! Anyway, the first of a few posts at the Met., our first meal was breakfast at Cyan.

The buffet is an amazing spread, but we start with coffee and fresh juice which is bought to our table before heading over. First up, fresh tropical fruits, including mango, pomello, watermelon & pineapple;



Then the little iced cups of yoghurt and fruit, fruit salad or little bircher muesli cups;



There's also the house made toasted muesli and choice of milk;



The cold cuts include ham, smoked salmon, avocado, sliced tomato and a few cheeses;



Fresh baked pastries, muffins, breads & croissants;



5 varieties of fresh baked bread along with 8 home made spreads, including strawberry, watermelon and pineapple jams, marmalade, peanut butter passionfruit curd and chocolate hazelnut spread.



The buffet spread is all amazing, between the two of us we manage to sample a little of just about everything.

But then we also get to choose one item off the al a carte menu. I select the big breakfast. The scrambled eggs are so creamy, and delicately folded, with pork sausage, roast tomato, mushroom, bacon and potato cake. All delicious, all be it very filling ....



Kim selects the poached egg on a giant home-made fluffy English muffin with roast tomato, sauteed spinach and hollandaise sauce. The hollandaise has been gratinated to a perfect bubbly golden.



We both appreciate a great breakfast, and this has to be one of the finest examples !!

Rockfish breakfast sets, Kamala Beach

Our first morning in Kamala, we take a stroll down towards the headland. On our first visit to Phuket we found a little breakfast gem called Rockfish. Way back then in 2006 they used to offer a variety of breakfast sets at 99B each. Even as we were approaching we were pretty sure we spotted Rockfish, there up on the hill.



Not much had changed, it was just as we remembered. As you enter, there's a little bar area with a few seats, then you take a few more stairs down to the main dining area. It's all open, looking out over Kamala Beach. There's some banquette style seating and about 10 tables in total. We were very pleased they still offered there breakfast set. They range from 150B-250B and all include coffee or tea and your choice of juice.



Kim chooses the omlette. It's filled with gruyere and prosciutto and is served with a roasted pepper and olive saute. The omlette is cooked well, still a little runny on the inside. There's 2 slices of dark rye to the side.



I choose the faithful eggs benedict. 2 perfectly poached eggs sitting on some sauteed spinach and a toasted English muffin. The hollandaise coats the eggs beautifully and there's a nice amount of tarragon fried potatoes. The potatoes are fried in lots of butter (mmm) and the fresh tarragon little crisp bites throughout.



A very good deal at these prices, we will be back to see what else they are offering.
