As breakfast was served from 7am to 9.30am, we still had about half an hour left. Since I was already awake, I thought I might as well go for breakfast. I took about 15 minutes to get ready, but by the time we reached the dining area, the egg station had already closed, and there wasn't much food left. The fruits were not refilled either. When I asked one of the staff, she mentioned that the kitchen was already closed. A group of Chinese tourists who arrived late like us also commented on how early the egg station had shut, saying they would come earlier the next day. I tried the mee hoon (fried vermicelli), which was quite good, especially with the curry chicken gra...
