Spanish cold soup, I know that one, but the idea of a cold "soup" always "surprised" me a bit.
Tell me, when you say "breakfast" do you mean the real early brekkie of more like "brunch" ?
Because honestly, no way I would be able to swallow this at 06:00 am
Edit : not even with beer after a night on the piss !
Usually about 7ish. It's actually quite light with tofu and vegetable (sprouts and cabbage) if you don't know it, double fryed. I sometimes throw in a couple of spring rolls (lumpia) that also go down well with sauces. Most days I don't even eat breakfast so when I do that delays any further meals into the later afternoon.
I would struggle with a croissant with chocolate and espresso so I guess it's what you're used to isn't it.
I used to love a good German breakfast with crusty rolls, cheese and wurst (cold cuts) with a couple of boiled eggs - now I would struggle with that too.
Lived in the UK with breakfasts usually being the "full English" with fried eggs, bacon, sausages, baked beans, mushrooms and buttered toast all washed down with lashing of hot, sweet tea. YUM
Worked in Germany (Bavaria, where the "real" ones live) for a few months, and yes their frühstück is nice.
Spend time in UK also (London, Sizewell powerplant and Newcastle). In the winter their breakfast is OK, but as I didn't want to have my French passport revoked I passed on the beans and the black pudding....
And don't start me on milk in the tea.....
So based on that assumption , when the missus is NOT here the budget is more expensive due to the GF ?
Or did I mis read that

Your UK breakfast sounds like an American breakfast, only smaller and insert coffee( lots) instead of tea.
Cheers
Just thinking of it makes me fatter

Nope, no g/f.So based on that assumption , when the missus is NOT here the budget is more expensive due to the GF ?

No need to complicate life !
I think this calls for a new thread on Indonesian girl/boy friends, don't you?
Maybe, but I won't be able to contribute a lot to that thread, let alone post pics....
The Missus and me left HKG in Oct 2017 and part of the deal was to switch to good papa / good mama mode. Which we did.
But I am sure Old Bali hands like you and others may have a few stories to share ?
Yesterday was a bit of a busy day in the kitchen..
Lunch : Croque Monsieur. Now, it may look like a ham and cheese sandwich but has nothing in common with the usual cheap industrial ham + cheddar.
Ingredients : Ham and Emmental. For the topping : cream, Emmental, Parmigiano (I sometimes use Brie, which gives it a stronger flavor but I hadn't any in the house.
Butter both toast (I use salted butter), one layer of grated Emmental, 2 (or 3) layers of ham, another layer of Emmental, close the sandwich and put the topping.
In the oven at 175 C for 15 / 20 minutes (the last minutes on the top position in order to give a nice brown color)
Served with lettuce and a vinaigrette sauce (1/3 Balsamic vinegar, 2/3 olive oil, garlic, shallots, mustard, pepper, salt)

Dinner : Spicy chicken tights in the oven.
Ingredients / Spices :
Let macerate 3 hours in the fridge
Served with baby potatoes, fried with garlic, shallots and chives.
Globally a busy day as I am in bachelor mode and do everything myself.... For the chicken I made 6 pieces, so I still have some for tomorrow or later.

look into getting an air fryer - the above would have profited from a crispy covering on both the chicken and the tates. You don't need to fire up the large oven for something so small and it's built for small portions.
Not to be pedantic they are called "chicken thighs" not tights. Tights are what you wear over your head when window peeping.
Love Parisi, they do a fantastic steak and mash too. Were delivering free to my home in the pandemic and really nicely presented, decent wine menu and great resturant
Nope,
It's not KFC fried chicken, so no "crispy" covering...
I cook the traditionnal way, so oven it is.
First time I hear about it, had to Google it up !
Bon, I lived 70 y without it and I dont think it will revive my JD /G.T. damaged braincells now.
