Holiday Inn Melaka Breakfast Buffet Review
They say there’s a certain magic to mornings spent at the Holiday Inn Melaka, a euphoria that can only be attributed to the scrumptious incomparable breakfast buffet dished out by their chefs. Therefore, we began our day with our Holiday Inn Melaka breakfast buffet - our first meal of the day, brimming with vibrant flavours and jovial atmospheres.
A Symphony of Flavours to Kickstart Your Day
From our first step into our dining hall - Essence Kitchen, we were gently immersed in a world of tantalising aromas and a kaleidoscope of culinary delights. This was definitely a great welcome for us to the heart and soul of the Holiday Inn Melaka breakfast buffet! The blend of aromas teased our senses and awakened our appetite. Each scent was a promise of the feast that awaits. By then, both Jordan Boy and Jasmine Girl were already visibly very hungry.
We thought we were the early birds, but other hotel guests were even earlier than us. Many of them were already preoccupied with loading their plates with an array of splendid food. Fortunately, there were many empty seats still available. Once we had comfortably booked our table, we promptly set off to pick up our untouched plates to fill them with everything that was on display. 😁
From Local Delights to Global Favourites
The palette of tastes on offer was as diverse as it was exciting. Obviously, all the dedicated chefs at Holiday Inn Melaka had crafted a food journey that seamlessly blends local specialities and international favourites. If you prefer something heavy and very filling for your breakfast, you can opt to enjoy classic Malaysian dishes like our iconic Nasi Lemak, Nasi Minyak, Roti Canai or fried noodles just to name a few. You could mix and match all of them and add chicken curry as well as spicy vegetables.
Delectable American Breakfast
Prefer something more western for your breakfast? You will love the chicken toast slice, chicken sausages and baked beans to make your very own "American Breakfast". We got to complement our chicken toast slice with the delectable chicken sausages. And what’s a classic American breakfast without baked beans? These baked beans are slow-cooked to perfection, allowing the flavours to develop and create a rich and hearty sauce. They had surely added a burst of flavour and protein to our breakfast plate.
Malaysian Iconic Nasi Lemak
Breakfast in Malaysia is complete without indulging in the delightful flavours of nasi lemak, a popular Malaysian dish that is sure to tantalize your taste buds. The nasi lemak that Holiday Inn Melaka served for their breakfast was extra special thanks to the aromatic rice that was infused with the rich and creamy coconut milk, giving it a fragrant and slightly sweet taste.
My photo did not do justice to the sambal! 😂
To add a delightful crunch to our nasi lemak, we had crispy anchovies and groundnuts. The anchovies are fried to perfection, resulting in a crispy and savoury topping that added that unmistakable burst of umami to each mouthful. Paired with the crunchy groundnuts, this combination provided a satisfying texture contrast to the soft and fragrant rice. The sambal in our nasi lemak was just nice - it struck the perfect balance between spiciness and flavour. Each spoonful of sambal coats the rice, anchovies, and groundnuts, infusing them with its tantalizing taste.
Crispy and Flaky Roti Canai
Like Nasi Lemak, Roti Canai is also another must-have for breakfast. We got to witness the skilled chef of Holiday Inn Melaka expertly flipping and twirling the dough in the air to create our roti canai. This mesmerizing display added an element of entertainment to our breakfast, making it even more memorable. A bite of it and I was immediately transported to the streets of Malaysia. That was how good the roti canai was. Make sure you experience the crispy and flaky layers of roti canai from Holiday Inn Melaka and savour it with curry or dhal.
Egg Station
Egg lovers will go egg-solutely crazy with the Egg Station. You can enjoy a delectable selection of egg dishes for your breakfast ranging from Sunny Side Up, to Omelette. Each option offered a unique and delicious way for us to enjoy our eggs in the morning. Whether you prefer the simplicity of a sunny side up or the elegance of an egg benedict, there is something for everyone. The talented chef will prepare your eggs to perfection, ensuring a delightful start to your day. So go ahead and indulge in your favourite egg dish at the hotel’s breakfast Egg Station.
Japanese Counter
At the Japanese counter in the hotel’s breakfast buffet, we got to indulge in pearl rice from the Land of the Rising Sun. The delicate grains of rice offered a satisfying texture and a subtle sweetness that pairs beautifully with the well-cooked eggs that had this velvety texture that melted in our mouth. There was also the seaweed that added the touch of umami needed as well as the succulent unagi glazed with a sweet and savoury sauce. It was really おいしい (oishii)!
Porridge + Self-cooked Noodles
Want something rather comforting to break your fast? How about porridge and noodles? The nourishing porridge can be personalised to your liking with a variety of condiments, allowing you to create a flavourful and satisfying bowl. Additionally, for those seeking a more interactive experience, the self-cooked noodles station offers a chance to assemble your own bowl of noodles. With a selection of noodles, broths, and an array of toppings like meats and vegetables, and herbs, you can craft a delectable and customised noodle creation.
Of Irresistible Pastries and Muffins
Indulge in a delightful assortment of pastries and muffins at the breakfast buffet of the hotel. These freshly baked treats are a perfect way to start your day on a sweet note, offering a range of textures and flavours that are sure to satisfy any palate. They were so sinfully good that I helped myself to a few servings. Whether you prefer a light and airy pastry or a more dense and decadent muffin, you will be smiling from ear to ear with every single bite.
Healthier Bites
If you’re keen on maintaining your wellness routine while travelling, fear not! I noticed that there was a diverse range of wholesome options available for those who want healthier bites. From an assortment of fresh fruits bursting with natural goodness to a variety of cereals that provide a nutritious and energizing start to your day, Holiday Inn Melaka really strived to offer an array of choices that will support your wellness routine. Then again, I prefer something more meaty.
A Foodie’s Dream Come True for Breakfast

I love hotel breakfast...for a couple of days. After that, I'd be craving for local delights from the hawker stalls.
