Shangri-La The Fort, Manila is one of the very few hotels where I eat pastries for breakfast. That is because of the top-quality viennoiseries created by Chef Anthony Collar and his team. A variety of freshly baked whole bread and loaves are also available in the buffet. Egg dishes are also available upon request and are prepared a la minute.
Here is my plate of English Breakfast consisting of items from the buffet such as bacon, sausages, grilled mushrooms, and baked potatoes. I paired it with a white bread loaf and scrambled eggs.
Here are some of the French Pastries we tried. Both the Quiche and the Bacon Danish are savory pastries while the Pineapple Danish and the Peach Danish are sweetened pastries. All the pastries we tried were flaky, fluffy, and lightly buttered.
The A La Carte Breakfast Menu features both Western and Asian choices. If you have dined in a Horizon Club Lounge of other Shangri-La properties, you will notice that the dishes offered here at the Horizon Club Lounge of Shangri-La The Fort, Manila are modern and non-traditional, and there are plenty of healthy options.

| Beef Benedict | Horizon Club Lounge, Shangri-La The Fort, Manila |
The Beef Benedict is served with beef brisket instead of the traditional ham or smoked salmon. The beef brisket gave it a sweet and savory taste. I still prefer the classic eggs benedict with smoked salmon which I am sure they can happily make upon request.

| Egg and Rice Bowl | Horizon Club Lounge, Shangri-La The Fort, Manila |
The Egg and Rice Bowl is one of my favorites. The fragrant rice is rich in flavor and is enhanced with a fresh squeeze of lime. The pork belly was very crispy and tender, not too oily nor fatty, and went very well with the atchara (pickled vegetable).
 |
| Horizon Kedgeree | Horizon Club Lounge, Shangri-La The Fort, Manila |
The Horizon Kedgeree is their version of the Indian dish which is also very popular in Great Britain. The curry rice was made healthy by adding Adlai seeds. The smoked salmon went very well with the curry rice. The squeezed lime will brighten up the flavor of the curry rice, making it flavorful yet very refreshing.

| Breakfast Bikini | Horizon Club Lounge, Shangri-La The Fort, Manila |
This popular ham and cheese sandwich from Catalunya, Spain found its way to the Horizon Club Lounge of Shangri-La The Fort, Manila. The Breakfast Bikini was one of the top recommendations of the Horizon Club Lounge staff so I made sure to try it as well.

| Chicken Noodle Soup | Horizon Club Lounge, Shangri-La The Fort, Manila |
The Chicken Noodle Soup is one of the Asian options on the menu. They serve the classic version which goes very well with the steamed dim sum served at the buffet.
As always, I ended my breakfast with assorted Fresh Fruits. I had watermelon (red and yellow), melon, and honeydew, which were all very juicy and sweet.
Overall, we enjoyed our breakfast experience at the Horizon Club Lounge of Shangri-La The Fort, Manila. The food offerings at the buffet spread and a la carte menu are very extensive, with choices available depending on your preference and dietary requirement.
