Fun (sorta) fact: I'm a complete night owl + not a morning person, with a very different circadian rhythm than most people, in which lunch mostly don't make it into my daily schedule. (As if I have a schedule though.) 

Well, neither does breakfast, as I don't get up early enough for it every day! But a girl still needs to eat, right? Now, considering breakfast food is my favourite out of all the meals you eat in a day, it makes sense that brunch — you know, the meal where you eat breakfast food near/during lunch hours? — has naturally become my thing.

I'm always on the lookout for tasty heavier breakfast meals for my brunches, but more importantly they have to be easy. This Turkish egg dish, named Cilbir in Turkish cuisine, ticks all the right brunch boxes for me, and has become my go-to dish to make nowadays: two poached eggs sitting on a bed of yoghurt mixed with minced garlic, drizzled with fiery chilli oil, and topped with fresh chopped dill.

I have to confess, I'm not a big bananas fan as is but I am a sucker for local desserts and kuih with bananas in them. Shah and I always stock up on bananas to make either lempeng pisang or pengat pisang, plus anytime I visit a local kuih cart on the roadside, you best bet I'd walk away with lepat pisang (which is something I would have made myself if I knew how to!).
