Breakfast at Tiffany’s

Last year this same week I was in NYC enjoying the end of summer. One morning, maybe this same day, I happened to discover that my beloved eggs benedict can still improve, with the addition of… asparagus.

I was served asparagus eggs benedict to be remembered at the lovely Settepani Bakery, down my road in Harlem.

Eggs for breakfast are a scary idea for most Italians (breakfast in Italy is always light and super-sweet, otherwise no breakfast). The hollandaise sauce is fat and a scary idea for most girls wanting to wear a bikini. In addition, a lot of people I know avoid eating asparagi (the smell, you know).
So, there is nothing better than sitting at a small table, outside, in a pleasant street, one morning in NYC far far away from home, enjoyng a deliciously scary breakfast.

This year I decided for South East Asia instead, and had a variety of colourful indian and chinese-malay breakfasts, ranging from curry and dahl to blue rice with fish, to hard boiled eggs and baked beans. But NYC asparagus eggs benedict remain my favourite option.
Yert, the Suria KLCC, a luxury shopping mall is Kuala Lumpur, beside the Petronas Tower, does include a Tifanny & Co store.
