Hotel Slavija breakfast

The Slavija Breakfast

• Hard boiled eggs – half of which were ‘easy peel’, half which didn’t relinquish the tiniest flake of shell without pulling a huge amount of white off in the process;
• Coffee – horrible machine, whose white version came fully sweetened. Black with added milk was slightly better. Not much though;
• Cheese – brilliant. Two identical tasting varieties, with a very slight difference in colour. Very palatable;
• Bread roll – fine. A bit tired; a bit sweet;
• Croissant – cheap and weird. Like flaky bread. Not a croissant; not very nice;
• Serbian drinking yoghurt - magnificent.

All in all, an excellent start to the day, with table clothes stretched across every table, every one of which is laid despite the fact there never seemed to be more than 10% in use. And indeed, even though this dining inertia extended into evening, the full pelt kitchen kept a sizeable team of chefs, commis chefs, sous chefs, waiters and kitchen porters busy.
