Cheap N Nice Western food @ Thomas's

The phrase 'Cheap N Nice', may be grammatically incorrect, but the combination of the above adjectives is highly complemented by the connector 'and'. The whole idea of food is simply not delivered if a more proper conjunction is used in this context, for instance, 'but'.  This is because the diners whole-heartedly agree that there ain't any contrasting ideas between food and its price. Instead, they are better expressed when they are taken as two similar objects sharing a common trait, being good and reasonable. 

Thomas Western Corner, a food stall occupying a temporary shed by the roadside, serves the most delicious western food in Taiping. If you are an out-of-towner whose sole aim is to hunt for good food in Taiping, leaving Taiping without trying Thomas's cooking would be the greatest sin in your life.

Mexican Grilled Chicken Fillet @ RM7.00

Well-marinated chicken fillet lightly grilled till golden brown, served with a spicy Mexican gravy.

The chicken chop comprises of  one large piece of chicken meat, 2 slices of French toast and a choice of either rice or French fries. As I don't fancy rice or French fries, I opted for the third choice of my own - 4 slices of French toast instead of 2. Fair enough, isn't it?

A cup of fresh orange juice to round off the meal. (coffee is not served here)

Breakfast at Segafredo

Starting your day with a good cup of coffee does not necessary ensure you of a good day ahead but it can somehow boost up your spirit and provide you with sufficient energy to meet the demand of work. My oral defence session required both endurance and tolerance. Given the fact that the above qualities can be furthered strengthened with a cup of strong brew, we drove extra miles just to look for the type of coffee that fulfils the criteria.

The food served in Segafredo are all fresh and value-for-money. You need not pay through your nose to enjoy a truly satisfying cafe-styled breakfast which is both tasty and appealing to the eyes. Initially, Mum was unsure if she would be able to finish the sandwich that came in a super large portion but later found herself wolfing down one after another and she managed to finish everything all by herself. Salute!!! Mum and I are planning our next visit on one of these days because the breakfast promotion is coming to an end. Too bad, such wonderful treat should be given more recognition and made as a permanent item in the menu.
