Reverting back to the old ways

This morning, I had cheese, ham and bread for breakfast. This is largely due to the fact that I am just back from Amsterdam and Paris, where I enjoyed eating breakfast like that.

This way of eating is not new to me. I used to do it once in a while to remind myself of the lifestyle I led in Suisse and in Oz. I did tell Spacecake and OLKgal that I do not mind eating bread everyday. I really don't, but coming back home also made me realise that having other choices is good too. That's only because we have been exposed to different types of food.

The fact that the types of Asian food being so reasonably priced made me appreciate it even more. I peered into one "Malaysia Restaurant" in Amsterdam and a dish of Nasi Lemak cost 17.50 Euros!!! Laksa was also around that price. No doubt, one would be served and be sitting in a suitably climatised room (either air-con or heater, depending on season) but the fact that I could eat Nasi Lemak at 10 times cheaper just made me...more humble when it came to eating here now.

The bready part of me though, laments at the lack of finding nice sandwich and salad type foods here, locally. I suppose I can only look to Subway and Delifrance for comfort and a quick fix then.

My preferred Asian style of breakfast will still be fried bee hoon and coffee with evaporated milk, but more often now, I will have more bread readily available at home .
