Bacon & Eggs on a Tuesday night

Husband and I were feeling peckish at around 1 am.
Instead of reaching for the usual cup noodle, he asked for the pack of beef bacon I bought on a whim yesterday.

I can't get halal bacon in U.K. Beef pastrami, turkey ham, pepperoni.. yep, you can get them alright but bacon had eluded me. The first time I had halal bacon was when I purchased a U.S frozen pack at Cold Storage Singapore.

Pop a couple of rashes onto a cold pan, turn the fire on and just wait for them to crisp beautifully. The smell is something else. Once they are a little crispy, I pushed them to the side and crack an egg. Fried it in the same pan and turn off the heat when the egg yolk is still soft. Piled them all up on buttered white bread, lashings of ketchup and a little bit of pepper. A messy tower of different textures - runny, crispy, soft, salty and slightly tart

So there we were. Thousands of miles from London, we were eating a traditional English treat - bacon sarnie. Just missing the brown sauce which I hated anyway and gladly substituted with bbq sauce, and a cup of builder's tea.

Funnily enough, if we have the munchies in London, we always long for something like nasi lemak or bbq stingray!

PS. would have uploaded photos but the camera died on me.
