A Simple Sunday Morning at Swensen's

Cabin fever. This is the term for being coop up in the house for long time. This is especially appropriate for Toronto during the long, dark and cold winters.

So I decided to read in a cool, airconditioned place out of the cabin. The place that yuppies hang out. Talking about yuppies, I rarely heard this term use nowadays. The nearest mall for me is Compass Point and since my wife and baby boy is there, Starbucks will not be a good choice. Swensen has breakfast menu! This is new market Swensen is tapping into. The breakfast is good value. For $7.90 you can get pancake, hash brown, two sausages, juice (orange or apple) and coffee or tea. Not bad value considering McDonald breakfast will cost $6 with one drink. The food is serve in real plate and cutlery. Omelette set breakfast is even cheaper at $6.90.

I had a latte and "Authentic Happiness". Reading the book and sipping latte. B1 and B2 joined us after mummy called them and read out the menu. It sounds so yummy that they cannot resist. B3 does his drawings, Mummy read "We want you to be rich" by Donald Trump, B2 does Science homework and B1 read the comic, Alchemist. This is family togetherness, family bonding and family time. Three hours in a nice environment for $31. It is a good deal!

Pure and Simple Pleasure.
