BREAKFAST
AT LE MERIDIEN
Breakfast is considered the most
important meal as you are advised
to "eat like a King". How do you
suppose a King would enjoy his
breakfast in Saigon, where Asian
culture meets European style?
1. Signature items that you can only find
at Le Meridien
Salmon Eggs Benedict: Benedict is one of most
delicious European breakfast dishes. Le Meridien's
Salmon Egg Benedict consists of grilled salmon,
poached egg, toasted English muffins, and a passion
hollandaise sauce made from cheese and egg yolk.
Panda Crepe: The mini version of pandan crepe
made from dried coconut, peanut, cinnamon, and
chocolate will mesmerize all sweet lovers.
Brioche French Toast: Prepared with caramelized
mango, longan honey, ginger froth, and cinnamon
powder, the Brioche French Toast is a must-try
breakfast dish offered at Le Meridien. Since the 5 th
century, traditional French Toast has consisted of
slices of bread dipped in milk and beaten eggs, fried
and served with powdered sugar or honey. The
French call this dish pain perdu - "lost bread" as it is
a way to reclaim stale or otherwise "lost" bread.
2. Pastries: What could be better than enjoying
breakfast with a glass of aromatic Vietnamese coffee
and soft Danishes with fruit jam, chocolate and an
assortment of nuts. You can choose between the
chocolate Danish, Fruits Danish, Almond Danish,
and more.
3. Eye Openers: The flavors, aromas and colors
of fruits as well as fresh vegetables and spices
combine to create your first discovery of the
morning. A sweet eye opener (soursop + tangerine
+ Carrot) boosts your energy with vitamins. The
tangy eye opener (mango + Vietnamese basil +
calamansi) leaves you feeling fresh and purifies
your body, while the spicy eye opener (passion
fruit + Aloe vera + ginger) has wonderful healing
properties and will warm you up from head to toe.
4. B∏nh m˙ Saigon: Le Meridien is one of few
hotels where you can enjoy streetfood. The b∏nh
m◊ (Vietnamese Sandwich) is both greasy and
flavorful with Vietnamese mortadella, braised pork
belly, mayonnaise, cucumber, coriander, spring
onion, soy, and chilli.
5. Illy Cafä: Le Meridien uses Italian Illy coffee
for its cappuccinos, lattes, and espresso. An Italian
cappuccino is traditionally prepared with espresso
mixed with the double amount of water (espresso
lungo), steamed milk, and is often topped with
cocoa or cinnamon. If you don't like much caffeine,
you can have your latte with doubled milk.
