When I got a new wassap group notification from the Breakfast Bunch, I laughed. How apt. For some reason, whenever we make the effort to meet up with these few friends, we always ended catching up over breakfast. What started out as a simple gathering of some friends years ago, have now evolved to be a specific group.

Ms. D recommended G3 this round and we happily to go there as we have never try this place out. This restaurant is an end lot right in the middle along Jalan Telawi 3, Bangsar.

Hub ordered the Grande Breakfast…I was not too impressed with it as they serve turkey ham in it. And, I am not ready to have bake beans in the morning.

So, I decided to order their Beef Bacon with Eggs and another side order of croissant. (I was craving for good croissant that day). The Beef Bacon was quite good and I was happy they manage to get my sunny side up just the way I like em (Not runny, but not fully cooked either. It should have the consistency like fluffy mash potato – hehehe).

The croissant was ok only. Not buttery enough for me. But, the jam they offered was really good.

The Omelet with Mushroom looks good, but I didn’t try as I was already super full by then.

And, the Egg Benedict. Interesting presentation. Overall, we rate this place and the food here about 5.5 / 10

Till our next catching up / breakfast session, it was great catching up with you guys again.

The first time I tried Meng Kee (Glenmarie, Shah Alam) was many many years ago, thanks to Ms. Lim !!!

After that, I’ve been back quite a number of times and hence i was surprise i never blog about this place ! I love the Char Siew from Meng Kee.

It’s much more meatier compare to Seremban’s favourite. (by that I meant, more chews). Aside from the Char Siew (BBQ pork), I also love their hakka sausage (basically made of pork livers). It is amazing when you eat it together with the cucumber. yum yumm…so unhealthy but so sinfully delicious !!!

I prefer going Meng Kee in the morning as the crowd is normally not too heavy. AND, they only serve wantan mee then. By lunch time, the wantan mee stops.

Influenza

Rainy season and bad weather of late is causing many people to fall sick. Poor hub is down with influenza (flu) since last week and is still on the road to recovery. Unlike the common cold, the actual flu virus can cause quite a lot of damage.

I was feeling a bit under the weather first. Started with a touch of fever and sniffing. But, it all left after 3 days… (See – I am not such a tofu after all. Hehehe…) However, hub continues to have high fever on and off. It was really frustrating as this makes him really weak and tired out. Finally, after 4 days in this condition, we went to the hospital to get him checked.

Initially, we were worry it might be dengue. But, the ER doctor on duty say that since there were no red-spots on his body, he doesn’t think that was it. So, he propose hub do a test for influenza on top of the blood test.

After 2 hours, hub is diagnosed with influenza type B. Phew… Doctor says this strain is not too bad as it is quite common but since hub is having fever hovering at 39-40… He propose hub be admitted. Doc say not to worry too much since hub is not detected for influenza type A (which supposedly is where the H1N1 strain from). Hub stubbornly refused to be admitted to the hospital… So, I was put in charge of taking care of this mule ! (Yes – you read it right. stubborn MULE !)

It’s not easy for hub as he keeps throwing up on his medication at night. He say its the anti-viral pill which is making him vomit. It freaked me out. But at least after one day of the anti-viral, his fever broke. But, his other symptoms still persist. Sigh…

So, I force him to keep a really bland diet during the weekend.

Started him off with a cup of redoxon the minute he wakes up (to boast his Vitamin C / immune system). Then, follow by mince pork and diced carrot porridge for breakfast and lunch. For dinner, I made him some Mee-Hoon (rice noodle) with chopped cabbage in chicken broth soup. And before going to bed, I ask him to take one more bowl of porridge. In between all this, he drinks plentiful water. I also make him honey lemon for his sore throat. And, force him to gulp down it down (he HATES honey – I don’t know why. How can anyone hate honey?!)

Hoorah…hubby manage to keep his medicine in for now. He stop vomiting !!! yay !!! I pray that God will help hub to recover fully soon.
