After This, You’ll Never Eat Scrambled Eggs at a Hotel Again
Having breakfast at a hotel is always a treat. In fact, I choose my hotel based on the buffet. Nothing is better than going all the way at the buffet in the morning.

Because scrambled eggs from a packet, of course, go against ALL the principles.
Happy with a boiled egg
Still want an egg with your breakfast? Take a boiled egg from the buffet and wait until you’re back home for your scrambled eggs. Because making scrambled eggs yourself is a thousand times better—and above all, tastier.
