I don’t know what to do with those tossed salads and scrambled eggs

What better way to start off a Monday morning with scrambled eggs on toast and a glass of milk?

(Ok so it would be better with sausages, bacon, tomatoes on the side but c'mon people it's a Monday not a lazy Sunday brunch)

Ever since this 4pm to 1am stint, I've not been too interested in breakfast, partly feeling guilty about eating past midnight when I get home. I usually just have something to drink or at the most cereal and then launch into lunch a bit later.

But somehow I woke up at 830 today. Ok so I wasn't working yesterday, but I still slept at about 2 something.
Shut my eyes for a bit more, but no use, I couldn't get back to sleep.

So I made myself that breakfast - sprinkling some cheese on top of that egg - and settled down to watch three straight episodes of Will & Grace Season One. Well, so not that straight.

I need to get my hands on Season Five soon... which I saw at HMV in HK but it was just too expensive. Devil!

Meanwhile, yesterday had lunch at the lovely Bunalun, (Chip Bee) where I had a salmon brioche sandwich with wakame salad and shared a tomato soup - very sweet. And a coffee to finish. Yummy. Oh and organic too.

Dinner was with my parents at Shunjuu (Robertson Quay).
We'd wanted to go to Liang Kee, but it was bloody packed with people. So a few doors down was Shunjuu, a place that specialises in Sumiyaki, which is the charcoal grill style of preparing foods.

When we sat down, some appetisers were laid on the table.
A head of cabbage leaves with a miso paste, and a serving of a something that might've been topshell.

We had:
A vegetable salad
Sashimi Moriwase
One order each of - enoki wrapped in pork, chicken with cartilage (love that cartilage) and roasted Japanese sweet potatoes.
An onigiri with cod roe for my dad
Agedashi tofu
A tempura udon to share

Not bad, not bad at all.

I suppose it was a bit of a Japanese dining weekend for me, as I'd had supper at En on Friday night, after having checked out Vino Vino.

The grilled stuff at En were a little less smoky, which I prefer.

But one thing I notice about this place is the way it screens very random movies.

The first time I was there, with my sis and my cousin, they showed My Neighbour Totoro, followed by Michael Jackson's music videos.

This time, it was Shanghai Knights.

Oh and speaking of Owen Wilson movies, saw Wedding Crashers last night. Quite entertaining. Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson! That's a great team. And throw in some Will Ferrell? Great!

I always love Ferrell when he plays Alex Trebek on SNL's Celebrity Jeopardy. Especially when Sean Connery's on!
