  Typical English breakfast...when I was in UK for 2 wks...after having bacon/ham/sausages and eggs for a couple of days, all I wanted was toast...since there was nothing else offered by the BnB.

  Here are a few suggestions for a simple, easy-to-make, healthy and quite hearty breakfast. The keyword is healthy here:
  
  a) Mediterranean tomato salad on bread - slices of very ripe tomatoes (unchilled for better taste), a drizzle of olive oil, mozzerella or feta cheese, a couple of torn fresh basil leaves (if available) and ground black pepper.
  
  b) Cheese and tomato sandwich, can be grilled if preferred, lettuce/cucumber can be added too. Choose lower fat cheese if possible.
  
  c) Peanut butter sandwich - choose peanut butter made without trans fat, or better still, get organic ones coz the fragrance is heavenly (Sorry, this means non-skippy, or mr peanut, etc. brands)
  
  c) Sandwich with canned fish e.g. TC Boy brand of tuna with ginger/garlic/in Italian sauce. They are a bit salty so skip the gravy. Add tomatoes, cucumbers for crunch and fibre.
  
  d) Fresh fruit, yoghurt + toast
  
  e) Oatmeal with raisins, prunes, dried fruit, a few mixed nuts
  
  Happy eating.

  im not sure about sg but there are really healthy choices for cereal bars here in usa, they really provide you with essential carbs/vits/proteins for your daily needs, although whole foods are still the way to go

  My breakfast is usually a muesli bar with a glass of tomato juice.
  
  In the past, my ideal breakfast is yoghurt, streaks of bacon, sunny sides, fried bread, fried tomato and mushrooms. After a holiday in Japan, I have since appreciated having japanese rice, miso soup plus tofu and other simple dishes for breakfast. Think i am getting old....

  Today I had same, BUT the coffee is from freshly ground Starbucks beans , brewed at my table using a new Starbucks French coffee press (Xmas edition) , and HL milk.
  
  Same 1 pc cream cracker though
  
  That's an improvement, I think

  Heh does the plunger even go below the halfway mark?!
  I'm sure your coffee's drinkable with some tweaking to formula...like....
  1 part bear's coffee to 5 parts hot water ....

  This is the starbucks xmas gift set.
  It costs... 42 I think
  The sandglass is cool. Exactly 4 minutes and ta-dah - the coffee's ready!
  
  Only grouse is that coffee isn't quite hot enough. I think it's cooled somewhat from all that waiting and milk.

  how you know?
  
  actually, closer to.. 4 parts water
  
  and i give the stuff a stir and then let it stand for a few minutes...
