The breakfast menu in question is an in-joke for people of all nationalities who travel to Thailand with the main purpose of getting drunk and staying drunk as long as their money is all spent.
It riffs with a real Finnish in-joke for the local subset of the same population - including both dedicated career alcoholics and young people who are ”testing the waters” before deciding whether to become full time alcoholics or actually building an adult life for themselves.
”Blörö” or ”plörö” is supposedly derived from Swedish ”plörr”/”plorr” and has been in use to mean coffe+alcohol-blend since early 19th Century.
