Breakfast in a prosperous Chinese Hotel

It`s not a story about high-standard international brand hotels or hostels....this is the story about your common Chinese hotel option (affordable yet quite appalling)...

Stars are of low (no) importance...as your breakfast is likely to look like in the pictures (provided bellow) either way!

Breakfast offer will be pretty similar and will most probably consist of:

1) conjee - a challenge even for all ya porridge lovers out there ;) (usually liquid rice porridge)
And at times there is no drink (not even water) provided don`t be surprised to be "kindly" suggested to "Drink some conjee"!




2) some kind of steamed bun/bread - tasteless


3) unidentifiable pickled vegetables


4) hard boiled eggs - your best bet.. if any left ;)


5) some kind of beans...matter of taste I guess ...


6) hot water



That said it`s actually all about timing!
If you`re lucky/early enough you might get at least the items listed above...but come more towards the end of the breakfast service...and this is what you`ll be able to get ;) (tea bag was our own and that was the last egg available!)


Bon Appetit :)


P.S. the more prosperity, luxury, splendour is promised by the name of the hotel...the less of it you will actually get ;) (that refers to breakfast offer, too ;), so watch out of all the "Golden Splendid", "Prosperity stars" and the like ;)
