Wake up…

I must have a really good breakfast, the most important meal of the day, the first thing in the morning when I wake up…and of course, nothing beats having it all ready…

…for you, no need to go through the chore of having to prepare your own…

This was what I had on the first morning…

…of my 3-night stay at the Grand Margherita in Kuching – the fried noodles, the nasi lemak – the whole works…and the very nice lemang plus chicken curry and potatoes. I had something else though I can’t exactly remember what now other than their very nice bread pudding but I did not take a photograph of that.

I had porridge the next morning, and probably something else – not much as I was going to go out and I would be eating some of the stuff I could get outside.

On my final morning in Kuching, I made sure I had a good hearty breakfast as I would be flying at noon, lunchtime, so I did not think I would have time for that. To start off, I had some fruits…

Surprise! Surprise! LOL!!! By the way, how do you usually peel your papaya? Blame it on my OCD, but I would always cut away that white inside after removing the seeds till I do not see any trace of it anymore.

I had these next…

They have a chef at the egg station…

…ready to do your eggs in any way you want them. Oopsss!!! That doesn’t sound quite right, does it? Muahahahahaha!!!!

The very nice and friendly chefs, ever ready to attend to your beck and call, work behind these glass panels…

…and I did notice the ventilating fans right above them inside so you do not get the smoke nor the smell all over the coffee house.

 I also had these…

– the croissant came from this section…

…and I toasted the thick slice of bread myself on the charcoal grill here…

…before adding kaya to one half of it and peanut butter to the other.

Oh dear!!! I was about to leave and head for home and I did not have the chance to go out for a bowl of Kuching kolo mee…so I asked this tall and handsome chef…

…to make me a bowl…

Well, it was nice, good enough – beggars can’t be choosers and that would have to do till the next time I fly over to Kuching.

It certainly is very much better now than years ago when it was the Holiday Inn and every school holiday, my family and I would make a trip to Kuching and stay here…and I do recall those times when I had a bone to pick with the people at this coffee house then. I loved how nice and friendly everybody was this time around and I must say that I was quite impressed by their excellent service. I sure enjoyed the breakfast there every morning.
