Augustdiners Breakfast Club: (PT 3)- Made With Drunken Love

After our sore experience at the latest breakfast joint, Red Bean Bag, I still think that Augustdiners breakfast club serves the best breakfast in town- because its made with love. *laughs*
One pregnant lady craves, and my chance to have a chill Sunday brunch session brought us to another episode of our breakfast club, but what not expected is me waking up with some awful hangover from the previous night out, so I was strongly contemplating on cancelling our brunch dates, but boy am I glad I went through with it, because a good breakfast is all it need to cure those aching headaches of mine
Refer to our other breakfast cookout 30/11, 19/01, 1/10
This time round, we did something quite simple, homemade potato hash, light salad dressed with Dijon mustard, honey and olive oil, some saut mushrooms with onions and spinach, ham slices, and some poached eggs . We forego hollandaise sauce this time, because we were lazy and underprepared.

Ingredients with plenty of eggs, yums!


Freshly baked Sourdough

Toasted

I'm normally not happy with healthy eating, but this salad is worth the stomach spaces

Potato Hash

More greens


Hash Brown in the making


The messy wonders

More Messiness, and those Eg! gs! yum yum yum!

The last five signings and some gift sets, too.

The last five book and kit signings were such a blast.When I started the book tour the end of last year I had no idea how much fun they would be and how much I would miss meeting you guys when they were all over. Thank you so much to everyone that came out to one of the 2o+ signings. Along the way I have tried to get pictures of everyone that came by to say hi and also recap each city on the site. This time I combined the last several cities in one big giant post.

San Francisco, Orlando, Phoenix, San Diego and Austin.

There are a few photos from each city below as well as slideshows of all the photos from each. Feel free to use any of the pics from flickr if you find one of yourself.

It was so great starting off the signings at Chronicle Books Headquarters in San Francisco. Say hi to Emily. She designed the kit and the notecards box sets. So so cute.

Papa Johns @ Alpha Angle Wangsa Maju

I was reluctant to go with them for pizza (it's not my favourite food). I got no choice but to follow my wife and two boys to Papa Johns @ Alpha Angle, Wangsa Maju.
The restaurant looks brand new, clean and conducive.
Zu Yi started to coax me with a creamy mushroom soup.I like it. The soup was concentrated with full of irresistible taste of mushroom.Free pepperoncini (green chili pickle), special creamy garlic dipping sauce and special Papa Johns sauce for the potato wed! ges.Baked potato wedges golden brown with crispy outer layer and smooth in the inside. Dip these wedges into the red sauce and feel the sensation.Bread sticks baked from fresh dough and is served with the creamy garlic sauce....dip dip and bite it. Jo love the aroma of the bread and also the wonderful taste of this bread stick.Succulent & juicy chicken wings well marinated with interesting spiciness in the meat.Baked Garlic pepper Rice with a combination of ground beef, onions, green pepper, beef bits, topped with Mozzarella cheese and Bologniase sauce. Xiang Yi loves it very much.Fisherman's Catch with crabsticks, tuna, frsh green pepper and onions.
Given a choice I would not opt for this again.
This pizza is half and half. Half All Meats and half Pepperoni.
This piece is more like it, pepperoni slices, cheese added, chicken roll, Italian sausages, beef bits and ground lean beef.... so much of meat how not to be good.
