Many people, ladies especially, claim that they just have no appetite to eat in the morning. I suspect that is just a lame excuse not to get up early at dawn to cook and eat before heading to work. Well, you’ll just have to see the crowd at the complimentary buffet breakfast at the hotels at the break of dawn and you can observe how they all stuff their faces with so much food like there is no tomorrow.
I, for one, would need my mug of black coffee first thing in the morning to start me up and something sumptuous to go with it. Well, the other day, I decided to prepare breakfast for my daughter. There were some potatoes in the house that were already beginning to sprout eyes, so I decided to make some mashed potaoes…
I peeled and cut the 3 potatoes into thin slices before boiling them. Once softened, I mashed them up, adding a teaspoon of butter, chopped cheddar cheese (3 slices) and bits of bacon…and added a bit of milk to make it smoother. Then, I put them in the small “baking trays”…
…and used a fork to level the mashed potatoes and create ridges on the surface. Once done, I put them in the oven to bake…
…until they turned golden and crusty at the top. I had some bacon left, so I used it to fry some omelette and I also grilled two sausages in the pan to serve with it and the mashed potatoes. Here! Breakfast is served…
I’m not trying to blow my own horn or anything like that but my daughter enjoyed the breakfast tremendously. However, there was a bit too much for her to finish. Ah well, no prize for guessing who wiped out the leftovers! LOL!!!
Now, what’s your take on this? Would you prefer a pseudo-western meal like what I had prepared for my daughter or something local like this plate of char kway teow (fried rice noodles) perhaps for breakfast?
Or maybe you prefer something spicy like our Sarawak laksa?
In case you’re wondering, this is the laksa at the Aloha Corner that some claim is the best in Sibu. It is spicier but all things considered, I still think that the one at e-Cafe is still the best…
So, what are you having/did you have for breakfast today?
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
