Le Méridien Chiang Mai and Latest Recipe ♥ ♥

The Filipino-Chinese peoples in Manila are extremely guarded, ultraconservative, mega traditional, et cetera, et cetera.

But at 31 years old, I think I am finally ready for it.

Sleeping with people I just met.

I hate to admit it, but it excites the very hell outta me.

 

The Lobby (and Free Wi-Fi not in photo)

 

Blacks, beiges and whites

 

Latitude 18 Lobby Bar

 

Our Deluxe Room

 

THE Bed

 

So we can watch each other when we shower

 

32” LCD, work desk, gourmet coffee + plunger, phone, bag, trash bin

 

Toilet and Bath and Me

 

Separate shower and tub

 

Closet, safe, ironing tools

 

Very nice city-temple-mountain view (although we keep our curtains shut all the time)

 

Next morning we wake up with the biggest appetite.

So we go down to Latest Recipe for some brekkie

 

   
                        Cheeses and Cold Cuts                                                            Hot Stuff

 

 
                                Noodle Soup                                                                Fruits and Juices

 

 
                          Yogurt and Muesli                                                           Breads and Pastries

 

Latest Recipe offers Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s new and innovative reinterpretation of the traditional morning meal. Aside from Espresso Steamed Egg, here are 2 other signature dishes available this morning:

 

Croque Madame – rather forgettable

 

Smoked Salmon and Poached Egg Sandwich

 

My plates:

Assorted cold cuts salad with yogurt dill dressing, Jean-Georges green tea coconut bread,
a slice of brie, roasted squash

 

Waffle with maple syrup and cinnamon sugar, Jean-Georges Croque Madame,
pickled vegetables with scrambled egg, baked beans

 

This solo serving glass container is major cuteness

 

And the Bircher muesli inside is major deliciousness

 

Pineapple and passion fruit

 

Jean-Georges Eye Openers: Carrot Orange Passion and Strawberry Lemonade
So tart, so sweet, guaranteed to awaken every inch of your sleepy body.

 

Thankfully, my long lost second cousin Sam doesn’t snore.
Good Morning, Chiang Mai!

 

Stay at Le Méridien.

Have breakfast elsewhere.
