10 and a diet coke please…
The Chinese text on the left says, “Popular!”
@brandon: although I think that probably refers to the beef burger with tomato :)
(I quite enjoyed the taste testing of this unusual burger, over on NpR’s food blog, the salt: http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2012/11/26/165923241/sandwich-monday-the-butter-sugar-burger . In the comments, someone mentions doing that with a pumpkin bun. Fried butter sticks have also made an appearance.)
Running late for an afternoon appointment in Japan, I tried to order the hot dog I saw displayed on a McDonald’s poster. They laughed at me; this silly gaijin doesn’t know that hot-dog-type food is for breakfast!
They eat a “butter & sugar burger” for breakfast? Great; now I’ve completely lost my appetite.
So what am I gonna do with this doughnut?
“So what am I gonna do with this doughnut?”
Thou shalt not mock Canadian cuisine.
@nobody. But that is sugar and frying oil! Totes different!
Making a meal with Butter and Sugar on bread? Seems like a piece of cake.
This sandwich notwithstanding, Singapore may be the best place in the world to eat breakfast. It combines the typical items from an American/English breakfast with Indonesian/Malaysian/Chinese items, plus great tropical fruit.
Here in NYC, the food police would shut this place down in a second.
Thank God for the land of liberty!
@Matt “It combines the typical items from an American/English breakfast with Indonesian/Malaysian/Chinese items”
This is not always a good thing. Have you tried Roti John?
This is a paleo diet nightmare.
@Mike H.: Roti John is an interesting creation….
Val:
So it does. To be honest, I somehow completely missed the fact that there were two separate signs.
When I was a kid, my mother used to make French Toast, and we’d put butter and powdered sugar on it. I guess this really isn’t that much different, unless it’s served cold.
Brandon Berg:
The ironclad rule at our house was that if your french toast was served cut into quarters, you put jam on it, if it was served cut into bite-sized pieces, you put sugar on it, and if it was served as a whole slice (which you then cut with your own knife and fork), you put syrup on it. I wonder if my mother (who reads this blog) will want to dispute this, as she and I often have very different recollections of how our household was run.
Eliezer #10: perfect :)
Tradition at our house was butter, peanut butter, sliced bananas and syrup on french toast, waffles or pancakes. Not sure how it started but it’s a point of no return. I also confess when sufficiently hungry and in scavenger mode I’ve eaten a spoonful of butter right out of the tub…not bad when it’s slightly melted so nice & creamy.
What makes the picture is the words “healthy” and “freshness”. Also the idea that people can be persuaded to purchase something by writing “it’s popular!”
I’d have eaten such a burger for breakfast every day when I was a kid but my mother thought it criminal to put sugar on things that were already good – like cookies.
by the time I had a house of my own, the idea didn’t appeal any more – sigh

I love Freshness Burger. By far the best burger chain in Japan. Way better than any American burger chain. One of the things I miss from Japan. And no, I have never had a breakfast burger, there or anywhere else.
