[Tomato and Cheese Sandwich]

hahaha… wanted to have breakfast but have nothing on the fridge… well, just added a singles cheese on toasted multigrain bread topped with sliced of cherry tomato. Lastly, put on the microwave to melt the cheese and enjoy your breakfast… a cup of coffee would be great to accompany your breakfast… :D

it does taste good, the saltiness from melted cheese blends with sourness of cherry tomato covered with the crispy toast bread…. yummm…..

Light brunch on a lazy day.

Well, I supposed to go this morning, but then it was last minute canceled. That’s fine and I can spend a little bit longer laying around on my lovely bed and skip my breakfast. :p Instead, I just went over to a cafe nearby my place for my brunch. “Taste” is the cafe name, its located at Sussex Lane and I guess their other shop is at Myer George Street. They have various menu to choose, from baguette, steak, pie to cakes. The picture taken was chicken snitzel baguette filled with mixed salad, not forgetting also I ordered a latte to go with. I will try come back again someday to try the rest of their menu. :D

Breakfast Idea??

Many people ask about the dish on my profile picture,

Actually i did this long time ago before i started this blog, if you looking for simple breakfast food idea, maybe you can make like the one on my profile picture,

what you need are only toast bread, scrambled egg, spinach, ham and asparagus.

.

to make this, stir fry the asparagus until tender and spinach for a while. Heat the ham in the pan to give some color, placed the toast bread on the plate, topped with spinach egg, ham and lastly with asparagus.

that simple right, everyone can do this. :p

don’t forget to season with salt and pepper to taste or maybe mayonnaise..

cheers :D
