Breakfast in America…

I had this album on cassette tape sometime ago by a group called Supertramp – Breakfast in America…and that was one of the songs in it…

I won’t be surprised if you’ve never heard the song before and yet you thought it sounded familiar. Recently, there was this group called the Gym Class Heroes that incorporated it into their song: “Cupid’s Chokehold“. But personally, on that Supertramp album, I prefer “The Logical Song“.

Anyway, I was just wondering whether the Americans have something like this for breakfast…

Well, when you order an American breakfast breakfast here, this is more or less what you will get. It is RM4.00 at Thomson Corner, opposite Sacred Heart School but if you go at certain times in the morning on Monday to Friday, there is a discounted price of RM3.50.

I had to send my car to some place nearby last Saturday morning for the air conditioner to be serviced, so while waiting, I decided to give it a try…

Nothing great, and I particularly did not care much for the sausages they used. I think there are far better ones available at the supermarkets around here but then again, I guess they are probably more expensive. For RM4.00, I would much sooner have something else at the same place or elsewhere.

And talking about breakfast, if you may recall, Stella brought me some condensed milk all the way from Australia – one can of it and some more in a tube. I received a call later that same Saturday from a reporter-friend from the Borneo Post asking for permission to reproduce that particular post of mine in their newspaper. Of course, I gave him the green light…and a while later, he called again saying that there was a problem with the photographs owing to their low resolution. I told him that they were taken using my cheap, old handphone, so if they could not make do with those, then they would just have to look for something else elsewhere…

But they did manage somehow and it came out in the newspaper on Monday morning…

Good grief! They printed everything as it was in my post. I do wish they had edited it and removed the irrelevant parts, for instance where I digressed from the condensed milk to talk about the XXXL shirt that Stella bought me. It was all there!!! Anyway, what’s done cannot be undone, so I guess I’ll just have to let it be.

So what did you all have for breakfast today?
