second, third, and fourth breakfasts

Chris and I have always enjoyed a good brunch buffet. We checked out all of the big ones in Calgary, Banff, and Lake Louise, and a few points in between. Chris's favourite was the one at the Banff Springs Hotel (where I still remember watching some diners at another table transferring food from the buffet to their plates straight into Tupperware containers), but I kind of liked the brunch buffet at the Priddis Greens golf club. Maybe it was the scenery.

This past Sunday, the three of us journeyed into central Bangkok for the brunch buffet at the Shangri-La Hotel in central Bangkok. The hotel was on the river, but we sat indoors, in the kids section (it smelled better, and was air-conditioned). Before we left, we'd read that there would be something like nine different stations at the brunch buffet, and try as we might to figure out what they would be, Chris and I couldn't come up with more than four. It never occured to us that there would be sushi AND dim sum AND a carving station for lamb, ham, and roast beef AND mongolian barbeque AND thai cuisine AND pick a steak have it grilled before your very eyes AND grilled shellfish AND quite a few more that I've forgotten. It was kind of overwhelming, and I think that we'd have to go back a few more times in order to try everything. The things that I thought were really neat were the caramel apples in the dessert section, and miniature food in the children's buffet - tiny hotdogs and hamburgers.

I'm not sure what Chris enjoyed the most, but even a few days later, he was a little baffled that eggs and bacon were no where to be found at the brunch buffet! I'm not sure if he would have had enough room in his stomach, anyway ...
