A Leisure Sunday Morning in Cold Paris..

Sunday mornings in Singapore usually mean breakfast with my Mum (occasionally), Aunt and Cousin at a nearby coffee shop. In Paris, we don't have coffee shops with cheap and wide selection of breakfast options.. instead you have a handful of hardworking restaurants/bistros/eateries to choose from.

Today, Grumpy got up late (10 am.. which is real late in his context). So by the time we stroll out of the house it was close to 11 am. We started our day at a chi-chi gym cafe drinking coffee (of course this is Grumpy) and a fresh fruit smoothie (banana, kiwi and apple).. Yumz.. read some papers, mags to pass time (coz the brunch place only opens at 11.30am).
Before we know it.. brunch time. Oooo.. am definitely a hungry girl by then (by my standards, breakfast is at the very latest 10 am). Worth the wait.. didn't had much expectations when I stepped in but was pleasantly pleased with breakfast.. even the bread (especially the slightly warm and light pain au chocolat) with a selection of jam and butter spread. They had magazines in English for us to browse too, which we did. Was a crowded spot.. we were lucky to get a seat. Saw pple being turned away at the door.... (something we experience pretty often ourselves.. which of course pisses Grumpy off!! HMPH - he says... wahahaha)While walking home, we saw a group of old men playing music... I couldn't identify with the music but older Grumpy could (hehe.. =p)

All in all... nice Sun morning :)
