breakfast

Comfort is drinking traditional Hainanese coffee and eating delicious Viennese wafer biscuits for breakfast. 

I love our local coffee, roasted with margarine and maize. Traditional roasted coffee is so fragrant. I drink my coffee black without sugar or milk. Kopi O Kosong. I often get my coffee names wrong when ordering at coffeeshops. Sometimes I'll end up with Kopi C kosong which is with evaporated milk. Now that sis bought an espresso machine, I have been drinking my coffee at home and sourcing for roasted coffee powder. Its so hard to find a good pack of traditional coffee powder really. Most/All the shops have relocated to industrial sites. Where have all the old coffee trading shops gone? The ones at amoy and victoria street vanished. I now buy my coffee powder from Ya Kun or NTUC. It isn't as fragrant and is expensive. I still wish for a whiff of the fragrance of coffee powder from those old coffee shops.

The best wafer biscuits are from Vienna. Unlike our local wafers, these are dense and packed with flavour. I love the zany taste of the lemon biscuits. Together, these make such a comforting breakfast. Happy weekend!
