It seems like we have organically grown a tradition in the Gray household. Breakfast on Mother’s Day! (home-cooked if possible). I know I’m A BIT late on this post, but I was going through photos last night and realised I didn’t blog about the fantastic breakfast I made this year!

2007
In 2007, we went to Rochester Park for breakfast at Graze

2008
We made a big breakfast for mummy at home. Pancakes with caramalized bananas, croissants, scrambled eggs, sausages.

2009
Was spent with the Lies because I was in Hong Kong then, but also with a breakfast at The Press Room.

2010
And last year, home-cooked breakfast mostly by yours truly. Usually Jie Jie would help me out in the kitchen, but this time I tried to shoo her away as much as I could. Because, she qualifies as a mummy too.

Brunch became Champagne brunch when daddy popped a bottle he had hiding in the cooler.

On the menu was the usual pancakes. And just to be difficult, I decided to try eggs Benedict for the first time. Poaching eggs is hard enough, but making a hollandaise sauce AS WELL, I was seriously biting off more than I could chew.

But the challenge was set.

In the end, it turned out great! The Hollandaise sauce may have been a bit tangy (too much lemon), and I may have wasted 2 eggs trying to get the poaching method right, but everything else turned out GREAT!

At the end of the day, looks like little J got a bit inspired too!

Instead of succumbing to the commercialism of mother’s day, we did what we used to do as kids… Make her breakfast! Jie jie and I make a great tag team.

So what’s cookin? We gave her the works!

Menu

You’ll spot a Leow when you see one, it’s a family trait.

Lots of love
