BOMA BREAKFAST
Today after waking up refreshed and checking out the animals from our balcony (Giraffes AND Zebras!) we made our way down to Boma for breakfast!
We’d done the dinner buffet before and been super impressed so it felt only right to take advantage of our morning proximity to the restaurant and give the breakfast spread a try.
We were seated at a lovely two top with a great server who brought me the largest cup of POG juice I’ve ever seen. I was delighted. I usually want to whisper “leave the jug” when they pour me some but I didn’t even have to. You’ve already captured my heart, Boma.
We headed to the buffet and there was a great variety of options. Some a bit adventurous, some standard buffet fare, a great selection of sweet and savoury.
I wanted to be brave and try the bobotie but I really hate capsicum and onion and even in a buffet style where I could navigate around bits I didn’t like I just wasn’t game enough.
I started with my plate here:
The goat cheese scrambled eggs were awesome! I’m a massive goats cheese fan and I was definitely all in on the flavour of these, plus the eggs were cooked really well which was great. I also tried the carve to order ham and it was so delicious. The glaze on the outside was sweet and smoky and this was just down right tasty. I’m not usually a breakfast sausage person but for some reason the look of this really appealed to me and it was as delicious as it looked. The plantain was good and something we don’t usually get in Australia and then - bacon. Because you can never not have bacon. But my heart really goes out to these tater tots at Boma. They are just deliciously crispy little hash brown style goodness with a nice kick of seasoning to them. Emily and I may or may not have eaten more than our fair share of these.
I also tried their oatmeal/porridge which I wouldn’t recommend. It was really bland and I’m usually a porridge fan but definitely skip it. It was so boring I didn’t even bother taking a photo apparently.
I then went onto a more sweet style plate. We had waffles, which like all Disney waffles were fluffy and crisp and this time they had Mickey AND Simba - so you know we had to get both.
I was really excited after reading reviews on it to try the French toast bread pudding. I usually really like bread pudding but this just wasn’t my thing. It was just very meh and honestly not worth the hype in my opinion. But perhaps I just went in with too high expectations. It wasn’t bad, there are just a lot of great options on this buffet and I wouldn’t waste tummy space on it again.
THIS, however - can have all the tummy space it wants.
Ooooh girl just look at it. This sticky bun topped with pecans was the perfect sweet breakfast treat. It was soft and sticky in the middle and the pecan crunchy top was a textural delight.
Cross section of joy.
I mean come on? Look at that beauty! This was the star of the buffet for me and I’d be lying if I hadn’t daydreamed about it since while staring at my sad boring quarantine breakfast toast.
We loved Boma breakfast and would definitely recommend this and do it again. The atmosphere is lovely, the food is fantastic and really fresh. Overall I think the breakfast here would suit a lot of people as it has such a great variety and can suit a lot of different tastes. It’s such a wonderful space and even though lots of buffets are often hectic, I come out of Boma feeling like I’ve had a relaxing dining experience and most importantly, completely full!
