Starbucks Dark Fairtrade Certified Italian Roast and American Breakfast

Home cooked American breakfast has always been my first choice. As many people have had the wrong perception of American breakfast being unhealthy, loaded with excess calories and cholesterol, they, particularly the adults, tend to eliminate it from their food lists and stop their family from consuming it as well. Of course, I do not deny the fact that some American breakfasts are sinfully packed with oil and fats. Thanks to the method of preparation adopted by most vendors and chefs, a supposed-to-be balanced meal has been branded as the culprit to cardiovascular diseases.

I, though not being too enthusiastic about American breakfast, would like to bring you to the correct path and  enlighten you on the real goodness of American breakfast. American breakfast, can be both healthy and sumptuous, provided if you cook it the proper way by using the five universal healthy combination - steaming, blanching, poaching, toasting and grilling - which are definitely free from oil.

The hostel is renovated to resemble traditional Thai houses with a rich and rustic decor.

It provides budget-conscious travellers with premium location (Sukhumvit area), exceptional services (24 hours security) and highly affordable prices (THB500 per room, inclusive of breakfast).

Breakfast Buffet @ Flemington Hotel

My SPM students who scored string of A's in the public examination invited me to Flemington Hotel to celebrate their success. Breakfast in Flemington is served buffet style and it costs only RM12.00 nett per pax. I, of course, need not pay a single cent as the bill was shared out among the 10 students. I did not want to waste their parents' hard-earned money, even though each of them only paid RM1.20 for my food. From section to section, I snatched everything I saw and gobbled down like nobody's business.  

Cornflakes, Coco Crunch, and Honey Stars in milk

The Western Style Breakfast:
Butter Bread Pudding, Marmalade Toast, Mushroom Omelette, Chicken Sausage and Mini Spring Roll.
