It's 9am and I just had toast and coffee at a local coffee shop. Toast is a huge deal here, believe it or not? They have coffee and toasts shops all over and people flock to them and not just for breakfast! The coffee at these shops is a local coffee that they strain through a sock, yes I said a sock! It is very rich and smooth and costs about $3 cheaper than Starbucks. It costs about 90 cents. There are tons of Starbucks, Coffee Beanery's and other like franchises. They get their share of the business but for me the local coffee is better and certainly more affordable.
We also have bread shops everywhere. (like in the picture) This is my weakness! The smell of fresh bread, which is always present, is irresistible to me. They have all kinds of breads and rolls with all kinds of fillings and toppings. They vary from the very sweet to some exotics toppings that I do not even recognize. Debra and I love the rolls covered with walnuts!
Other local shops serve noodles served in various ways for breakfast. I sometimes enjoy "Longtong" from the local Muslim shops. It is cabbage, rice cakes, a hard boiled egg and chili in a curry soup. I love it, but I eat it sparingly because I think it is full of cholesterol.
