The lovely smell of...
...fried eggyyyyyyyy bread... with cinammon sugar. Mmmmmmmmmmmm! :) And a nice cuppa hot chocolate. *bliss* That is my brunch sorted.
I had a hankering for eggy bread today as I haven't had any at all this year or indeed even the end of last year.
I don't know how you do your eggy bread but ours in Malaysia have always been sweet. Just plain sweet fried eggy bread is called "French Toast" and eggy bread slathered with strawberry jam is called "Bombay Toast". I have made coconut eggy bread before which is diiiiiiiiiivine which the bread is dipped in desiccated coconut after being dipped in sweet eggy mixture then lightly fried in butter.
Anyway, I was wondering, is eggy bread in Britain any different to mine? Is it savoury rather than sweet? I could google, but I would rather like to know what my lovely friends think/say. :)
How do you do your eggy bread? Or whatever you call them. :)

On a tangent, what part of Malaysia are you from? I was there over Christmas last year (can't remember if I mentioned at the Hafla!) My fiance's mothers side of the family are all from Penang :)

I didn't know you went to Malaysia! Yay! :D Ah so your fiance is half Malaysian and half British? Did you visit KL too or just in Penang? :)
And... eggy bread rocks... :) Am easily pleased! :D

When we were there at christmas we started in Singapore, then worked our way up to KL, Cameron Highlands, and finally Penang. We only had a few days in KL, so we did a 1 day sightseeing tour and saw things like the Batu Caves, Petronas Towers, Batik Factory, the Palace, and a Peace Park (probably sounds like really touristy to you!). There was a Chinese temple too at the top of a hill, but I can't remember what it was called. We were staying with his Auntie in the suburbs of KL (in Petaling Jaya) so we only spent one day in the centre and spent the rest of the time shopping at local malls. When I was there it was almost 7 dollars to the pound, so I really enjoyed the shopping! :)
I really enjoyed my time there, I was there for a family wedding, so maybe I got a different experience than a regular tourist would have done, but it was still fantastic. Also, we had just got engaged when we were in Singapore, so I spent the whole time being really excited about that! We are having a tea ceremony as part of our wedding!
Sorry to blab on there, I get overexcited when I talk to people about that holiday :)

We had a small British wedding plus a Malaysian buffet reception in Brighton and a modest 150 ppl chinese wedding banquet dinner in Malaysia as per traditional. 150 ppl is considered a modest amount as 450 ppl is considered to be a respectable extravaganza. But to me 150 ppl was huge enough and most I would probably won't see again since abt 100 ppl are distant relations that I hardly see/know. We had the tea ceremony the next morning but I didn't have a specialchinese costume which was a shame but we were only there for 2 weeks so hard to get things like flowers and additional costume. It was hard enough to organise a wedding dinner when I was here and they are there. But I loved the memories of my weddings. I was lucky enough to have 2 wedding celebrations. :D
Wish I can show you the wedding pics. :)
I do miss Malaysia lots, sometimes homesickness hit. But I am aware that I will be unable to adjust to living there again after being here for over 10 years. But yes, when the pound is strong, shopping is excellent there, as well as foooooooood! :)
*grins* I am more like a tourist when I go back anyway. Take me a couple of days to adjust back to my old Malaysian life and of course the heat!
Batik factory- a great place to buy some fantastic batik fabric. I love the free hand batik style. I had to do that for my art exam in 3rd form. Much harder than it looks! :/
Sounds like you had fabulous holiday and am so glad you enjoyed yourself there! ;)

BUT I have come across an old recipe (I won't say it is medieval since am not sure of its authenticity and origin) that is called Knight's Pudden. Which is old bread dipped in egg, fried and drizzled with some honey. The myth/story said that it was probably what a knight could afford before being paid by his Lord or if when they haven't been paid for months, that was what they could afford to eat.

It is easy to make, cut a hole in the middle of white sliced bread or bread of your choice (I used medium sized cookie cutters (heart shaped in my fav!), add butter to medium hot pan, put holed bread in there, break an egg in it (or break egg into a bowl than pour into the hole), allow to fry gently on medium heat, till bread is crisp at the bottom and carefully turn the bread over to help the other side crisp up with abit more butter. The smell is heavenly when you make that. I also fry off the cut off bit since I hate to waste it! I have used quail eggs to do smaller "egg in a nest" too.
I love finding out interesting names and methods for familiar food from around the world. It is fascinating. I always wanted to have a good old American breakfast as they looked so good!!

I haven't actually tried mine yet, so it's nice to have an idea.
Aromat is a swiss condiment, mostly MSG amd flavourings so it is probably evil but i have been adicted to the stuff since i was five and it's too late to stop now. It improves dull food, like eggs, no end!
