Sumptuous breakfasts at some European and Asian (Philippines and Japan) hotels and nearby restaurants

A.  European hotel breakfasts are usually buffet-style so there is freedom and a sense of excitement in the kind of food a guest would like to have in his/her meal.  I am showing you here my own breakfast meals taken from the vast choices of viands the hotels where I have stayed offer its guests. I do not have descriptions (yet) because some are pretty new to me so I'd invite you to see them and feedback me if you know these foods.
