Asian Breakfast on April 23, 2005
Hello to everyone that is coming to the Asian breakfast and anyone else that will be joining us on that day.
An Asian Breakfast? Has anyone heard of Asian restaurants make breakfast (for the general public)? Not as far as I’m aware of. Even at my sister’s restaurants. Asian breakfast is something that takes place only in an Asian individual family home. I’ve looked and looked through the internet to see if there are really Asian breakfast out there. There are some of course but only recommendations of some recipes that can be use as breakfast. I found a web site that has an Asian breakfast menu with some American dishes included (http://www.thebaotlanding.com). But of course it is still the same kind of food that we eat at any time. To the Asian family, breakfast, lunch, and dinner are very similar or the same. For breakfast some of us will be eating: rice noodle (pho) soups, rice poridge (usually with chicken broth), egg foo young, sticky rice with meat, fried rice, stir fried vegetables with some meat to go along with white rice, and just about any dishes on a Chinese, Vietnamese, or other oriental restaurant menu. The main diet to go with every meal is the white rice.
The morning time to eat is not just a fast break before lunch but this time and dinner time are the two times the family eat together. Lunch is mostly munch time when everyone is everywhere they needed to be. Lunch for whoever stays in the house is usually what is left of breakfast.
On our breakfast day, we will be having: egg rolls (this is not the typical Chinese cabbage egg rolls, this kind has ground pork and bean thread noodles), fried rice, cabbage rolls, and fried noodles. For those who might not want to venture in something new, we will be serving sausages, French toast, and scramble eggs. We will be bringing some fruits and pastries. There will also be milk, juice, coffee and tea..
