C brings me the honey bee layered cake from Taiwan so it becomes my breakfast :)
Here is obviously not enough for me but I was pretty busy the last few weeks so no mood to prepare for an abounding breakfast .
My long summer holiday starts and it is time to test my "good" time management again .
Thank you God for giving me an extra two summer holidays and I will make full use of it :)
Do you have any fantasy?
I think everybody does have some in their mind and undoubtedly I have no exception . And actually I have loads.
I do dream of having a small vintage cafe of my own , with cozy and simple decorations and vintage stuff that I love and adore.
I have encountered one in Cheung Sha Wan in Hong Kong. It's named The Hidden Garden 1981 Cafe.
The environment there is very nice and there're 2 floors .I love to go up to the second floor because of the lovely narrow stair with many vintage pictures hanging on the wall. And most importantly , I saw my favourite Amelie movie poster! And also the gigantic world map frame!
There's also a story behind this cafe/restaurant which makes me love it even more.
This is operated by a family and it was opened by the son of a couple.
In the past , this couple wanted to stay together all the time and sell food to earn a living but since they had to raise their kids , selling food would not be possible to enough so they gave up their mind.
Now , since their son has grown up already , he wanted to help his parents to fulfill their long lost dream and thus opened this cafe/restaurant.
The food there is not bad , especially for the desserts and the flower teas there.
The price is reasonable too and they have their own wifi , you may ask them for their password and then you can spend a nice afternoon there.
Music is floating around the cafe and if the TV can be taken away , it would be much better :)
Peanut butter toast topped with sliced strawberry , along with fried eggs and hams :) What a colourful breakfast and it's delicious !
I'm getting lazier now and merely take a picture of my breakfast without any setting (actually I didn't do any setting except putting a simple cloth on the table as a background.)
I love music and music is important to me. Songs with both girl and boy's singing just makes the song more vivid.
I got to know Robynn and Kendy through Youtube . These two girls are from Hong Kong and they have different backgrounds but they both love music. At the beginning , they used to combine different old songs (in Cantonese/Mandarin/English) and presented the 'new' songs in their own way. I always love the songs they chose ,like this one , not only the melody but also the meanings of the songs.
Today I came across another version of this song ,they featured The Bubs (an US Acappella group) and I just can't help swaying everytimes when I hear this kind of music. This would be so much fun if I could be part of them :)

I love the way they utilize the music instrument. They allow people to freely download their songs from the Net and they have an apps too! I think it's another thing that makes me like them , good music should be shared to everyone . Music is not only about making money and if you like them ,of course you should show your support to them :)
Actually last time I got a chance to enjoy their live show but unfortunately I wasn't available to go :( What a pity that I missed their performance in such a nice place. 'Mongolia' is the first song let me get to know this band but afterwards I also fell in love with 'Italy song' .
I guess I have mentioned many times that I love to eat food with chewy texture. So bagel becomes one of my favourite food, especially because it's a kind of bread. I tried to make it by myself the first time and I found the making process really funny.(however it doesn't look quite nice on the surface ; but I think that's what gives you the impetus to try continuously! )
The ingredient is simple but the making process of this bread is a bit different from that of making other kinds of bread . (but actually I haven't tried making many kinds of bread so far -.-)
It's a kind of bread that you have to boil the dough before baking it in the oven. You can feel the change of hardness of the bread after boiling and that is so much fun to me.
This was a trial make actually so it's a plain bagel without adding any special flavour so I added a piece of raw salmon in between as mum had just bought some back home.
Kiwi fruit is another kind of fruit that I like but in fact , kiwi fruit is too sour for morning so I better ate the bagel first so that it won't be too harsh to my stomach.
I went on a picnic by myself the other day . That was a cozy public holiday when everybody went visiting the graves of their ancestors with their families. That is a very lovely and spacious park and I had never been there before. There were many families playing happily with their children and enjoying the joyful "family time". The wind was mild and comfortable .
Location: Jordan Valley Park (佐敦谷公園) Way to go: Take the MTR to Choi Hung Station ,exit B; then take the 29M bus and get off at Shun Lee Fire Station(乘港鐵到彩虹站B出口,再轉29M巴士,在順利消防局站下車)
I seldom go to Choi Hung and I find this place quite different from what I imagined before. It's a place near the hill slope. There is a wet market near the exit B and my attention was immediately caught by this cacti. And after enjoying the grass , I bought it when I returned home.
In order to prepare for my abundant breakfast , there's always an impetus for me to wake up early , and sleep earlier of course . I think I've developed quite a good sleeping habit so far.
At the same time, with a better sleeping habit , I hope my skin problem can be alleviated too.
Here comes chocolate banana pancakes with boiled baby potatotes!
Usually , I won't take much sweet food in the morning because it's not so good to health but I did it this morning and it turned out that I really shouldn't have taken in too much sweet food in the morning .... `-`
I love potatoes! Potatoes are just a good companion for any dishes.
