Breakfast at Leeds.

Breakfast is said to be the most important meal of the day. In Malaysia, we have tons of choices for breakfast, the classic warm nasi lemak warp in banana leaf, some good roti canai, economy bihunmee. If you are Penang, breakfast is almost like the most exciting meal of the day. Most coffeeshops are open in the morning. Curry Mee, Hokkien Mee, Loh Mee, White Coffee with Kaya Bread, Dim Sum, Kuihs, Ban Chang Kuih, and many others.

Got this from wikipedia about breakfast.Here's what they say in the first paragraph:
Breakfast is the first meal of the day, preceding lunch or dinner and is typically eaten in the morning. The English word derives from the idea of breaking the involuntary fast of sleep, thus signifying the first meal eaten after awakening. It conveys the exact literal meaning of the Vulgar Latin word disjejunare, which evolved via the Old French disner (Modern French: dîner) to become the English word dinner[1].

Today,hampered by busy morning schedules, many neglect breakfast or skip it entirely. This trend now exist in industrialized nations worldwide, where it is accompnied freduent by replacing local breakfast traditions with modern Western-style foods, often packaged or pre-made.Nevertheless, many nutritionists consider breakfast a very important meal, since it provides vital nourishment and energy for starting the day. Studies have indicated that children
and adol escents whos usually have breakfast generally consumed more daily calories than those who skip this meal and,yet, are less likely to be overweight.

Here in Leeds, breakfast is something i didnt enjoy during my first few months, actually it gives me the oh so homesick of Penang food. Don't you wake up in mornings feeling like " I want to have nasi lemak", " I want hokkien Mee with tons of hue chang". To make it worse, as i work in Burgerking, half of my breakfast of the week are whoopers, or veggie burger.Its not nice kay, try eating whoopers fore breakfast for just a week, and u will feel disgusted d. Max, who lives at Charles Morris Hall will only take their quick energy bars for breakfast, though they have a full breakfast provided, like hams,sausages, french toast,etc. To the typical Malaysian taste, you will grow sien of it. I'm not sure if today Max has figured out a new way of making his breakfast enjoye-able.

That's pretty much my breakfast routine daily. Until somewhere near Spring/ end of Winter, Siawwan taught me the coolest breakfast. Strawberries!
Here's how we do it, you will need:
1) Double Cream (any kind, the branded ones are great, but being economical of me, i get Somerfields' Double Cream) - price: 4pounds something
2) Strawberries - In Leeds Central market they sell 3containers of strawberries for 1pound. There are about 15-20starberries per container. - price: 1pound
3) Choclate Sprinkles/Colored Sprinkles -price: 2pound something
4) Sugar

Once you got all of the ingredients, just mix all of them together to your liking.Of course when i said mix, i dont mean smashing, the strawberries with the double creams and spinkles(eww Dude! that wuld be nasty) . Oh add some sugar, so that the strawberries would be sweeter though the sprinkles would suffice.

Ever since of discovering this cool breakfast, i have been having them as an alternative from the burgers,Its awesome, gives u a sugar high in the morning.I wonder how much will it cost me to make a meal like this in Malaysia. What's the price of Strawberries in Malaysia?
Everytime i display this pciture in MSN, people would presmued that it is sweedish meatballs or to some, they cant picture what it is, but it sure looks delicious.

Stawberries+Somerfields' Double Cream+Colored Sprinkles+Some sugar= My champion breakfast in Leeds.
Now lets blog about lunch... =P
