in singapore, you can eat breakfast almost any time of the day.

in calgary, you can have breakfast from morning till 4pm of the day. it's not just ANY breakfast; it's the BEST breakfast you'll EVER HAVE (period). obviously, i'm not going even going to attempt to compare it to our singapore late night supper pratas and maggie gorengs at spize and alameen, but this is as good as it'll get here in canada. ladies and gentlemen, i introduce to you, NELLIES.

i snapped a picture of the menu cos' it stated all the other outlets in calgary. yes, i am wise. haha (:


'what do you recommend i get?'
'what should breakfast be?'
'huh?'
'what do you think breakfast should be?'
'cereal, eggs, bacons, toast... i guess.'
'how's about pancakes? waffles? omelettes?'
'oh that sounds gooooood.'
'order that.'
'wha-?'
'at nellies, you can put together any meal you want. but you'll probably find it on the menu already. see...' opens menu for me to read. 'i recommend you look at the sunday brunches...'

can you read it? CAN YOU READ IT?!


the place is packed - all the time. and food takes a while to get to you. so... i entertain myself and my lunchtime-breakfast company...
...by taking all the jams and odd sauces provided, and lining them up for a phototaking session.
i took over 2 dozen pictures btw.

and i am not ashamed to admit that i took a sample of each jam home. i haven't tried them all yet - they're still stocked in my refrigerator. (:



THEN...



OUR FOOD ARRIVES. (are you ready for this?) hahahahahahahaa.

MINE! 1 blueberry pancake. 1 chocolate pancake. 1 side of toast. 1 side dish of baked and seasoned potatoes. 1 serving of turkey ham. 1 side dish of fruits. 1 extraordinary muffin. (: ALL MINE.

half-way mark.

DONE! oh yes, i AM FULL.

did you really think that I could eat ALL that? i would like to thank the person who invented take-away boxes. that's jo and my left-overs combined btw (enough to feed one very happy person - any takers?)

jo and i be very happy, and very VERY full ladies.



if the above pictures weren't enough to whet your appetite; i guess NELLIES ain't your thing. i know there's always a mac's somewhere around the corner of singapore's streets (:

my first canadian double cheeseburger. and no, i didn't eat this AFTER eating at Nellies. that, my friend, would be a crime.
