Breakfast Inspirations

We used to do a lot of cafes before kids. These days, we just do the good old hawker centres or coffeeshops since we cannot enjoy the food and appreciate the coffee with the boys around anyway, haha. After all, all of us just need food, good food to kick-start the day!

What do you usually eat for breakfast?

I used to eat simple for weekday breakfasts, probably anything I can find at home (bread, cakes) and a cup of hot drink. As my dad will be around on weekends, we will feast on prata or whatever he buys from the market that day!

After marriage, the definition of breakfast changed as the hub eats differently. I have been doing hearty breakfasts ever since, I don't love it nor detest it, but there are days when I just wanted a simple kueh and the hub will ask if I'm feeling unwell, duh.

Just to name some of the food centres that we frequent, Telok Blangah Food Centre, Tiong Bahru Food Centre & Bt Merah View (Henderson) Food Centre and they have got some really good food!

This is what I have for breakfast today, what's yours?

Tim Ho Wan

Tim Ho Wan was opened here in 2013 and it was only until yesterday that both the hub and I went to try it. the queues when it first landed in singapore was no joke, though the first outlet at PS was so near our office. 

we went to the outlet at Aperia mall yesterday, yays no more snaking queues! the staffs were friendly and very accommodating to us too (we have a stroller, groans), two thumbs up!

 our usual orders of egg tarts, har gaos, deep-fried prawn dumplings (ming xia jiao), porridge and of course, the famous baked buns with bbq pork! everything we have ordered were really tasty, and were of good dim sum quality and we will be back with #1 for more!

i love their bite size tarts and i think #1 will love it too! 

the crusts are the non-flaky type and the egg filling is really smooth too, both just melt in the mouth and yet, one is able to taste the different flavour of the crust and filling. :)

the deep-fried dumplings are soooo crispy that you could hear the crackling sound upon each bite and the hub liked it that the prawn filling is so crunchy!

this is my all time favourite, the texture of the buns won me over, soft yet chewy and the bbq pork was really yummy too! i can have all 3 on my own, seriously!

the har gaos would have been good if we had ate this first instead of the deep-fried wasabi prawn dumplings. the har gaos were succulent but the prawn dumplings were so crunchy and they overpowered the texture of the har gaos.

lastly, they have an on-going promotion for senior citizens! 20% off for dine-in at all outlets, from 2-5pm every weekdays, time to bring our folks there! 

cant wait for our next visit!
