Eaten tells me I first (and last) had a Sausage McGriddles® With Egg some 488 days ago. Seemed appropriate to make up for that with a meal today 16 hours after my last (although the coffee was a tad watered down). Curiously, there was a smoky quality to the coffee, as I soon noticed I was exhaling cigarette smok-ish breath.

Scrambled Eggs, Butter and Condensed Milk with Toast

Thought I’d treat meself to breakfast today!

AKA the ‘Four Breakfast Warriors’, a Shanghainese breakfast staple, which supposedly consists of 4 items: 1. Dou jiang | 豆浆(soy milk) 2. You tiao | 油条 (fried dough sticks) 3. Ci fan tuan | 粢饭团 (stuffed sticky rice) 4. Da bing | 大饼 (Chinese sesame pancake) I think, in hindsight, we were handed some (rather bland) items other than the da bing or the ci fan tuan I thought were typical in this quartet. Anyhoo, the dou jiang (soy milk) wasn’t as sweet as they serve it in Singapore and I think I prefer my own you tiao (fried dough fritters). I shall attempt the da bing and the fan tuan at home sometime.
