Sunshiney Breakfast


The breakfast at Casa Minha is the nicest “free” (ie included in the already-inflated room price) breakfast I’ve been able to find in Dili. It is a buffet-style brekkie with all the regular fare: fruit, cereal, toast, eggs, etc, but there are a few points that make Casa Minha’s really yummy:

1. The fruit is really good quality – really sweet pineapple, orange and papaya, as well as red bananas (the sweetest of them all).

2. The bread is not the regular, sugary, airy white sliced crap you often find at breakfast buffets. They also have Burgen fruit and muesli bread, which is delicious as well as filling. And they have yummy Lurpak butter.

3. There is cake!

4. They have filtered coffee, which is better than many other options (although I’m currently off coffee, so have been getting a pot of tea which comes with a cute little yellow tag).

It also helps that the tables look over the calm blue waters of the Dili seaside, making it a really nice place to start the day.

It’s not really your weekend brunch destination, but for a “school day”, it’s a lovely, healthy, sunny option.
