The First Meal Of The Day
is the most important meal of the day.
You can't just wake up from a 6-8 hours fast (or however long you were asleep during the night) and function all through the day with an empty stomach!
Of course eating a nice full breakfast is quite hard considering most of us are rushing on weekdays but for us, we make sure we have something in the morning. A cup of Milo counts! For Son, it can be something as simple as a piece of bread but at least he has something to last through reccess.
Our favourites are:
Nasi lemak, of course! Though nowadays, it's only enjoyed during the weekends. Saturdays mostly.
Thosai. Because Roti Canai is much more unhealthy to enjoy while at the Mamak. hehehe
Can never go wrong with toast and half-boiled eggs.
or something to accompany a strong coffee ^^ Pasties and pies. Yummm!
or something along the traditional line, like laksam.
or something simple and quick to enjoy at home, like eggs with baked beans and cocktail sausages.
Cereals and muesli are great too.
What's your favourite breakfast?
I'll be sharing some recipes from the NutriSoy Breakfast Love Campaign cooking demo that I attended on Sunday in the next post or posts. The cooking demo was great fun!
My first (I think) recipe sharing post will be up soon. Stay tuned!
Yummy breakfast! With the exception of that Old Town toasts and eggs! I am disliking Old Town more and more LOL!
ReplyDeleteI had a really hard toast Sunday morning! Might as well toast my own! LOL
DeleteMy breakfast nowadays is usually porridge with carrots, miso and flaxseed oil. No more fruits like last time :)
ReplyDeleteAny difference in terms of your health?
DeleteOnce in a while, I still like the Big Breakfast! But I seldom have nasi lemak or roti canai for breakfast. Can't stand the oiliness first thing in the morning, maybe for lunch it's OK :D
ReplyDeleteSo you still indulge! :)
DeleteMy favorite breakfast is wantan noodles!!! =]
ReplyDeleteNice :)
DeleteNowaday i eat fruits in the morning, helps me in going toilet...
ReplyDeleteFibres help :)
DeleteGood morning Lina...
ReplyDeleteMy breakfast I like the most is keow teow soup. Just a simple one will do. This I only can enjoy it during the weekends.
While I'm working, MILO+Oats or a cup of white coffee. As simple as that.
As long as you don't skip it
DeleteTaiping we have this famous Petronas Nasi Lemak we call it, because the stall is next to the Petronas Petrol Station. Hehehe....
ReplyDeleteI think every place has their own famous nasi lemak (or whatever famous dishes) No? ;)
DeleteBut will look for the Petronas Nasi Lemak when I'm in Taiping.
I saw you posted some photos from the NutriSoy event at Insta...Can't wait for your next post or posts....
ReplyDeletewait for it. :)
DeleteI don't mind having nasi lemak as breakfast, once a while ;)
ReplyDeleteBut usually just take oats and breads, or crackers~
Crackers is actually quite sinful even though we don't feel it is. Oats are nice. I love bread too :)
DeleteAll are my favourite breakfast but most of the times I would have fried noodles or laksa.
ReplyDeleteLaksa! Yumm!
DeleteI can take Laksa for breakfast too. I like it too.
Deleteyes yes yes!! i cannot agree with Mak Glam more!! i also think breakfast is the most important meal of a day, so i would go carefree, and eat whatever i want to eat.. and i can go crazy if i am at a buffet breakfast in hotel, i will go for rounds and rounds of food so that i cover at least 75% of what are served, kekeke!!
ReplyDeleteMe too! LOL
DeleteEat until full then can have light lunch or skip it. Hehehe
yeah, let's go makan breakfast buffet together and we could make a 150%, hahaha!! :D
Deletenasi lemak: checked.. ah, i do have them for breakfast during weekends.. and for the past weekend, i had that for two consecutive days!! OMG, how crazy.. i love those simple nasi lemak biasa (don't really like to add on extra lauk), especially those nasi lemak bungkus, i can have two packets at one time..
ReplyDeletethosai: unchecked.. i don't know why but everytime i just "remember" so naturally to order two pieces of roti kosong only (i only like roti kosong and not other roti).. yeah, thosai sounds a better idea huh?? hopefully next time i will "remember" to order thosai instead of roti.. BTW, one piece of thosai = two pieces of roti, i mean the size??
Deletetoasts and pastries: double checked.. i think my past life must be a "bakery bin" because i just love all kinds of cakes, breads, pastries, toasts, cookies, biscuits, bakeries etc.. but then they are also very fattening, die!!!
Deletelaksam: unchecked.. aiyoh, call me jakun but i have not tried this thing before.. what it taste like?? the name suggested me it's a combination of laksa and asam?? but from the photo, it doesn't look at all spicy.. and the "noodle" in it looks just like chee cheong fun, interesting dei~~
DeleteDun wan to try laksam?
DeleteTraditional Malay breakfast, especially for people in the east coast : Terengganu, Kelantan and Pahang. Ooopsss... I shoudln't generalise the three states into the "east coast" name eh? :P
sausages, baked beans, eggs: triple checked.. aiyoh, i cannot hide to tell you that i love all these sausages, ham, cold cuts, baked beans, bacon, eggs, toasts, pancakes, hash browns, grilled tomatoes, sauteed mushrooms and what-nots on my "big breakfast" plate.. i will never leave them untouched but probably will go for encore!! muahahaha, that's how i love them.. and so that's breakfast right?? i don't care, eat breakfast like a king you heard?? :p
DeleteLaksam is like flat noodle. The gravy is fish based with santan. Quite rich and lemak. How spicy you want it is decided by putting the amount of chilli as you like.
DeleteYes! I truly agree that good breakfasts are important to start our day right! However, I often lazed and missed a proper breakfast meal after a cup of nestum or coffee. Bad habit of mine.
ReplyDeleteBut Anay so good wake up early for Letchumi's bento!
DeletePity he has no time for himself.
That's my fault, I cannot eat raw sayur like her each morning!!! Geli lah...
DeletePhiak Anay's head for being squeamish about raw veges! LOL
DeleteYour nasi lemak photo is killing me!! I want to eat right now!
ReplyDeleteI have been avoiding carbo and increasing exercise these days...wanna look slimmer like Zaini!!
If you do a lot of cardio, must not avoid carbs totally Anay.
DeleteEven Zaini eat them. Otherwise mana ada energy! LOL
No wonder I always pengsan in classes with tongue jilat lantai...
DeleteI think I enjoy western breakfasts more than eating local food. Muesli, corn flakes or baked beans with eggs are my top choice with the RIGHT PERFECT KOPI to complete. That's the journey to heavens!
ReplyDeleteAnay so Mat Salleh one. hihihi
DeleteNo lah, our local food are more delicious BUT MORE FATTENING LA. I used to eat nasi lemak everyday and changed trousers every 6 months. Letchumy threatened me la!! Takut!
DeleteEverything in moderation Anay ;)
DeleteMm. I usually have coffee and if really hungry, will eat a snack bar on weekdays. I eat proper breakfast on weekends - toast or baked eggs, also with coffee :p
ReplyDeleteNasi lemak is too much of a luxury here. Nobody does the packet nasi lemak, I like those! And have yet got to try laksam... Got to fix that!
Holler when you are back in town. I'll bring you eat laksam ;)
DeleteOhh. Thanks! Got to rain check that. Will let you know when I can find one here... The taste prob has been altered though :|
DeleteAnd probably cost a bomb too. Hahaha
DeleteOh and I have oats for lunch :p
ReplyDeleteLook forward to recipe sharing :)
It's just a simple one.
DeleteEasy, fast breakfast :)
me love nasi lemak...but now daily eat nasi lemak till jelak liao. Have to find healthier breakfast
ReplyDeleteTime to makan oat pulak Meow hihi
DeleteNutriSoy Breakfast Love Campaign? have not heard of it. SOunds healthy leh. Faster share ya. I can't think what can be make out of Nutrisoy apart from drinking it. Would love to know more
ReplyDeleteFor lactose intolerant ppl, can use soy or in this case NutriSoy as milk replacement.
DeleteQuite nice also :-)
