Breakfast at The Library

Breakfast situations were also fabulous at the Library in Koh Samui. Waking up at 9am is a luxury and an even greater feeling is the idea of breakfast waiting the minute you get out of bed!
There are no buffet-lines or eggs and bread rolling out of a huge kitchen by the trolleys. At the library, the singular kitchen and dinning area is called "The Page". Where guests stroll in anytime they like and order off an a-la-carte menu.

The choices range from the usual croissants and hot toast to eggs and bacon, to asian style porridge and half-boiled eggs. The kitchen attends to the orders and cooks on the spot. The wait staff, though slightly handicapped because of language, ceaselessly plaster a genuine smile as they pander to our every greedy request.

The entire family had eggs in all sorts of cooking methods.

B had his scrambled , L had hers hard-boiled with a drizzle of maggi sauce (old-school and best remained that way) and I had mine well-done.

Like all hearty English breakfasts, bacon, ham and sausages always accompanied the eggs. The fry-ups were well-done, no sickly puddles of oil and the vegetables looked fresh and welcoming.
The pastries were also served up warm and freshly toasted in an assorted basket.
The croissants were crispy and light, the toast were pipping hot and the raisin buns were soft and warm. Danish pastries and pancakes were also available for those who preferred the sweet edge to their carbs (namely me).

What a nice homely way to start a weekend...
