My big breakfasts

I enjoy weekend breakfasts at home, which are usually 'guilty', being heavy in proteins and sometimes, sugar. Local breakfasts are usually rare for me (see below), though it doesn't mean that I don't enjoy them:

But a must in my breakfast is a platter of papaya, banana, orange and an additional fruit. These were expensive when I was living in Japan, and thus I eat them daily now:

Besides, the Japanese believe that bananas reduce calories. I do want to prove that it's true.

Lunch at Cedele

We’ve been back to Cedele. The service during one of those lunches that we've had was rather memorable, for once. We didn’t like our seat, I recall, and was given a chance to change and sit by the window. A Filipina waitress, with broad smiles, also helped to take our pictures.

Wholesome high-fibre bread, delicious al dente linguine alfredo with mushroom and another in a tomato-based sauce.

The soups were to die-for: Moroccan spiced carrot (orange colored) and grilled vegetable.

As always, the coffee that rounds up the meals is energizing. It's European style-quite strong and bitter- and comes with a biscuito.

Cakes

Nov 3, 2008(Mon): A. ordered a banana crumble (not in picture). It was like the usual cakes from here, packed with home-made lusciousness. Those in pictures here are the mixed berries and walnut(?) and semolina and orange -yum!

We'd a window seat at the Wheelock Place outlet of Cedele. Good view, but I found service rather disappointing. The young waitors/waitresses were slow and their level of English, far below the average. One trainee was so lazy that I wondered why he even bothered to be a trainee? Perhaps the quality of food compensated for the unimpressive 'service'. We've been having meals there lately.

The outlet at Great World City seems better- at least in terms of presentation.
