MadridEating; Breakfast at Rodilla

One of the great things about having great products is the fact that you don’t need to do much to it. As great products already taste .. well … great ! One of the major issues here in Singapore is that a good 99% of breakfast dishes are very greasy. Don’t get me wrong, I myself am a”grease monkey” (OK OK … I know what a real grease monkey is …. just thought it was funny … ), but seriously,  “larding” my insides early in the day isn’t really what I call intelligent (especially now that I have made it a point to have healthier meals). Breakfast should be TASTY! FRESH! Breakfast should be …

Nothing fancy with the Fooding here, just simple food. Sandwiches, coffee, fresh orange juice (every food place in Spain presses fresh orange zumo!) and the occasional croissant with it’s buddy the  Napolitanas (another favourite of mine … who doesn’t like a good pan au chocolate ??). And they have “set meals”. A few varieties of sandwiches or toast paired with a drink. So we went for the tostada con tomate.

A down sized baguette sliced lengthwise into half and toasted, now get this, the tomato “sauce” is actually freshly minced tomato … simple ! And a disposable plastic bottle of olive oil … which was very smooth and slightly fruity by the way …

And yes that is a Napolitana (pan au chocolat) you see there in the corner (hey we all have our vices … hahaa). Fresh, simple and healthy. I mean comparing to breakfast in Singapore. However, I guess it comes down to personal preference and what your mood wants you to eat to be honest. But if you really gave me a choice, I’d rather kids enjoy a “Rodilla breakfast” compared to the typical Singapore breakfast (note to self). And the decor of Rodilla is also kinda cool …

Happy Fooding !!!
