Rice And Potatoes...

...depends on the dish. Really.

Firstly, we are a meat person - there must be meat in our daily meals or we will just not have the energy to see the day through. And so the kind of dish really decides if it's rice or pototoes - after all while we aren't too picky about food we aren't really that indiscriminate about what we eat, please.

So if we happen to be eating sausages or loins it's more likely to be potatoes, while local dishes of kung pow chicken and Hong Kong baby kai lan, or even tofu, pak zham kai and meatballs are best enjoyed with rice. So you see, it depends on the dishes what we choose for our carbs. Cannot simply mix and match one, after all chicken rice where it's roast chicken, char siew and boiled seasoned potatoes isn't chicken rice anymore.

And while we aren't desperately hungry - we still need to eat else starve. So happened that we forgot to pack along breakfast that mum made for us, otak-otak croissants, and so we were rather starving at work. And we were thinking of hash browns. So, breakfast was going to be potatoes.

The last time we ordered for McDonald's Delivery, it was at lad's place. So this time when we called up we had to make sure they changed the address else not only starve but have probably-annoyed lad's mum wondering why we're bringing our breakfast over to the lad residence and charging them for it too.

The good thing is that there's no minimum order charges, so for breakfast we decided on the Big Breakfast Set because it sounded big (we were hungry!) and threw in an apple pie. It was 10.30am when we called them up and got our order through, and nearly an hour later before it arrived (delivery boy got lost somehow). The food was still good, no complaints.

And we saved our potato Hash Brown for last. :)

hmmm...i used to love ordering the breakfast set JUST for the hashbrowns...until i tried the BK ones. mini sized!!! bite size (or small bite size) and it satisfies cravings better coz it looks like as if you're getting more (if not you ARE getting more). *hehe*

and i take hashbrowns first coz i duwanna eat soggy ones!
