When I walked past Halla Holla on my usual food delivery errand, I noted their new breakfast promotion.
It is basically their Scrambled Egg Toast breakfast with four options - one slice, two slices, with avocado (Energy Boost Breakfast Set) and salmon (Protein Boost Breakfast Set) - with a choice of beverage. This promotion is from 8.00 am to 11.00am.
So one day I stepped in for a morning bite.
I could not read the menu (poor eyesight) and had a hard time telling apart the items.
So I screenshot the menu so that I could enlarge it.
I spotted the green avocado and clicked that item. Then I chose an ice black as my beverage.
I love ice black coffee. That really perked me up.
Ah, that looks very good!
I can't smell butter, so I am guessing they did not cook the eggs with butter. Bah! But I still enjoyed my breakfast.
Back at The Starling I went to Jaya Grocer and noted that there is a health screening exercise organized by Skyzen. The word "free" always attracts attention.
Mr Skeleton. One day we will all be reduced to this.
Again "Free". I saw many older folks signing up to take advantage of the promotion.
Later at lunch I could not resist the temptation to order the Pistachio Dirty Latte at Red Kettle.
Since I was carb happy, I got me the Lou Rou Fan.
It was a nice combo but I was disappointed that the portion of braised pork belly was miniscule. Too little to make it a decent Lu Rou Fan. Too bad the manager wasn't there or else I would have had a word with him.
This was vavavoom!!!
I had three coffees that day - once at home, second time at Halla Holla and third time at Red Kettle.
So what happened? I was awake the whole night. Dang!
I am currently reading this book and as I was completing a chapter, I thought I was tired. But nope. My brain wouldn't shut down. Double dang!
No more triple coffees!
Dear friend, your photos are lovely. That book looks very good. I read non fiction only, and this is the type of book that it is.
ReplyDeleteI have seen TV true crime shows and I believe he was one of the people covered in a show I saw.
The lines of life is sadly true, referring to the illustration at the end of your post.
Your breakfast looks scrumptious.
Oh, I have been having trouble sleeping the last couple of nights. I hope this passes.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was the carbs that make you couldn't sleep when I read your post title. Turns out it was the 3 coffees...lol! I, too, cannot drink coffee at dinner time anymore (coz can't sleep either). Used to be able to drink 2-3 coffees a day (anytime) and have no trouble sleeping but as we age, things change...haiz! :'( P/S: Wow, your RM17.90 breakfast of avocado + egg with coffee is a steal!
