What did I eat? Bacon, scrambled eggs with tomato and toast with butter

Where from? Homemade

How much did it cost? Who’s tracking…

How was it?
Since I was going to be watching 3 matches of football, I decided to make a hearty breakfast. Only thing I was missing was either a tall glass of orange juice or a sweet cup of milk tea.

The scrambled eggs needed some onions – eggs + tomatoes + onions = WIN! I also misjudged the amount of sugar so the scrambled eggs turned out really sweet, almost like pudding. But I enjoyed them anyways.

Cooking the bacon in the pan was a mistake. I think I prefer my bacon microwaved. Less oil splattering and I can get the right level of crispness.

The toast is just simple white bread toasted and smeared with some butter.

Rate it!
7/10 (anything with bacon deserves at least a 7)

What did I eat? Dumplings

Where from? Somewhere in Flushing

How much did it cost? Probably $1

How was it?
One of my colleagues usually brings me something from Flushing on Fridays; most of the times, he brings dumplings but occasionally I’d get springrolls instead. These are the usual pan-friend pork and chives dumplings. They have a bit of juice in them so you have to be careful not to spew out the liquid when you bite into them. They’re pretty cheap in most places too – probably between $1 to $1.50 for a few pieces. These go very well with some congee.

What did I eat? Turkey bacon, sausage patty, scrambled eggs

Where from? Cafe Olympia

How much did it cost? $5 (actually should be less since there was an error at the scale but I didn’t bother to recheck)

How was it?
I switched up my usual pastry and got a hearty breakfast instead. Unfortunately, they ran out of regular bacon so I had to settle for turkey bacon. It is still BACON! I also picked the scrambled eggs with veggies since the regular scrambled eggs were looking real dry; but even these scrambled eggs were starting to dry. I know these fake eggs (the ones from the cartons) tend to dry up if they are sitting too long on the buffet bar, just like those I used to make in the Quad kitchen back at Grinnell. I also got a sausage patty to round it off. Pretty good breakfast and kept me full til past my regular lunch time.

What did I eat? Chocolate chocolate-chip muffin

Where from? Sal, the breakfast cart on 44th between 1st and 2nd

How much did it cost? $1.50

How was it?
One of my favorite breakfast muffins. It’s sweet and the inside of the muffin is soft. Occasionally, if the muffin’s been sitting too long, the top hardens a bit, but not this time.

What did I eat? Chocolate croissant

Where from? Sal, the breakfast cart guy on 44th between 1st and 2nd

How much did it cost? $1.50

How was it?
It’s a simple chocolate croissant. Good enough for breakfast. Washes down well with a tall glass of water. What else can I say…
