Breakfast at Berjaya Times Square

I was almost dreading breakfast at our hotel, the Berjaya Times Square, because this massive hotel has 900 suites and the breakfast buffet resembled a zoo with hundreds of foks trying to get a seat, long queues and screaming children.

For once, we had struck gold, as we arrived at the "business breakfast room" which was part of the upgrade deal we had booked. This place was nice and we lingered there every morning - in a hotel with thousands of guests it was rare to see more than 3 or 4 of the 20 tables in the dining area occupied.

More importantly the food was good, the coffee was sublime, both rarities considering "free" hotel breakfasts are usually pretty mediocre. Not this place. Polite but unobtrusive service which allowed us to linger, chat, read newspapers and drink extra coffee.
