I’m not a morning person, so getting up before the crack of dawn is a big challenge (I wonder how I did it in college?).

Ever since switching jobs, I haven’t had to wake up before 8am, coz the office is quite near to my house. But there was an 8am assignment in the capital the other day… So off to the LRT I drove. The sun was just rising as I made my way to the station.

The thing about taking public transport around the Klang Valley is you’re never on time. You’re either too early, or too late. I got there too early, so I stopped by at Old Town White Coffee @ Ampang Park. for a good ol Malaysian breakfast. The set meal was a toasted bread with butter and kaya (coconut jam), their signature iced white coffee and a pair of soft boiled eggs with pepper and soy sauce.

A little stingy on the butter. It has been a long time since I sat down to a nice breakfast like this though.

Walking to Doubletree by Hilton, where the Software Testing Forum was held. The city was slowly waking up, as cars honked on the road and traffic built up. Tall, shiny new buildings reflected the lightening sky.

Arrived at my destination, listened to some speeches and did some interviews. Then it was a quick walk to nearby KLCC to catch the LRT back home.

That pretty much sums up my day in KL and a day in the life of a media person. Which is different everyday. 😀 Why I like my job.

  1. So that’s a typical Malaysian breakfast?!
    The appearance of the egg-soy sauce mix reminds of a local sweet treat called taho.
    I’ve had kaya before but I’ve forgotten its taste. Though I do remember how I liked the sandwich I made from it.

    1. This is just one out of many breakfast dishes that we enjoy here! Eating is almost a national pasttime 🙂 What’s a typical Filipino breakfast?
      We have taho here too, it’s called taufu fa. Haven’t had it in awhile.
      Kaya is amazing. I’m surprised it isn’t more popular outside of Southeast Asia.

      1. Same with the Philippines! We eat so much. In parties, there would always be so much food that those who attend could still bring home loads. XD
        Typical Filipino breakfast has to have fried rice (sinangag), any of the various cured meats and sausages, and coffee. Or chocolate rice porridge (champorado) paired with salty fish.
        Maybe generate more buzz about kaya and other Malaysian food like through YouTube?

      2. Chocolate rice porridge sounds interesting, would be up for it 😀

        I’m not very good at video editing, still prefer writing about things.:)

      3. Champorado is great! Specially if it’s home-cooked, not from a box. It could also be paired with evaporated or condensed milk.

        Write more about it? Might get other people to try it.
