"Oh my god, I think I just had an orgasm." This quote from Preetha today was probably a good indication of the gastronomical delights I savored this morning for breakfast. I went to The Leela.

The Leela is a hotel chain in India, and they're known for being extravagant. The one in Bangalore is built on the ruins of an old palace, and is about as big as a museum, and I didn't even get to see the whole thing! I can't think of a chain similar to that in the US, because this doesn't cater to lower prices at all. This is made for the ultra-rich, and they have no qualms with it. (One night is $270 - Rs. 8,000 - and that's for the lowest room.)

But onto this morning. They have a breakfast buffet, and trust me, it's not your regular buffet. The room is split into three sections, one dedicated to pastries and baked goods, the second to freshly-cooked kitchen items and fruits and 'accessories' as I call them, and then another for Indian fare.

I went to the kitchen area and ordered waffles and Eggs Benedict. Then I perused around for accessories and got: fresh fruits, cheeses from all over the world, crisp crusty crackers, smoked salmon(I never thought I'd EVER see that here!), pate, sausages, and a flaky golden-brown chocolate-filled danish.

Continuing on about how good it was is non-sensical. I'll just say it was among the best food I've ever had. No wait. I think it WAS the best I've ever had. (Other than good ol' Golden Corral of course...jk.) For Rs. 400 ($10), it's actually a pretty thrifty deal. I'll definitely be visiting again.. like.. next week. No. I'm not kidding, I'm THAT addicted. And with that, I'm out.
