Breakfast in Tiffany?

The gang seems to enjoy a hearty breakfast

Our chicken ham sandwich

Yummy!

Healthy green salad with apple

Hmmm..... not quite. Hahaha... breakfast in Truly Asia more likely. This morning sees a departure from our normal morning breakfast ritual. No more Imbi Pasar Hainan Coffee and toast and certainly no more unhealthy but crowd favourite Nasi Lemak. How does the idea of having homemade breakfast in the office came about? Well, it was during lunch yesterday when I blurt out that most of us are practically bored of what we eat and ran out of ideas on what to eat. Thus, why not we have breakfast in the office; ala potluck, everyday, different things by a different person. It is how this wonderful idea was borned and Debbie and I were the first to contribute.

So, shopping for chicken ham sandwich and green salad begins last night. Last minute shopping with the help of Xu Hom (eldest son). Grabbed some cheese, bread, chicken ham, salad and last but not least my mustard! It was like a bank heist, grab and go.....of course we paid la!
Went back home and the first thing I did is to search for our long forgotten sandwich maker. Covered in dust after all those years lying in the cupboard, but still working. All set for the First Homemade Breakfast in Truly Asia!
This morning, the girls; Claudia, Janet, Maggie and Elaine all helped out to prepare the meal. Some of them made coffee; the easiet thing to do.... how hard can it be if it's 3in1?, while some help to get the bread from the sandwich maker. Claudia had the hardest work; squeezing coleslaw dressing onto the salad! Again.... how hard can it be!!! Hahaha..... our breakfast is a simple meal.... Anyway, we had a great time enjoying the fruit of our hard labour. It was more of the togetherness than the food. We were joking, poking fun at each other (Claudia and Janet are sworn enermies from past life); basically enjoying the moment. Just too bad CK is not there to join us.
So, we finished our sandwich and coffee. Left some salad coz everyone is just too full to continue. Already I'm looking forward to next week coz it's my turn to see others prepare breakfast for all of us! Just can't wait....... Yummy!
