Now for the Breakfast part of the Review

For Breakfast i chose a light noodle soup, some instant coffee and condensed milk to go with the coffee, also some crackers, because i thought that cream crackers might be sweet, and that would do great with coffee in my opinion.

The Breakfast Items
IMG_0137.JPG
The Instant Coffee powder, very pleasant and intense aroma

The Noodle soup packet: Ordinary ramen with a small packet of curry powder
IMG_0140.JPG
Almost done.

Coffee with the Water added (no amount was given on any of the packets)
IMG_0143.JPG
The Condensed milk: Very sweet and abit of crunch to it, as the sugar might have crystallised out

Coffee with condensed milk added

after some time the condensed milk flocked out, formed a beatiful and almost hypnotic pattern, but it was really nice and strong coffee
IMG_0147.JPG
The Crackers abit smashed up, unfortunately they were very bland so i put them in the noodle soup to soak up the broth

Very good Ramen Noodles, very good broth as well, was really tasty

IMG_0156.JPG
Opening Pears with the can opener, very easy to use the opener
IMG_0157.JPG
Peas were very good, not mushy at all nice and ripe

Just tried one of the Musk flavored Lifesavers, for me as a german it was like if i licked a Urinal cake, no offense meant. (it also didnt help that it was also pink, just like one)

Nice review Eistee! Glad to see everything made it except for the crackers. Did laugh at your comment about the musk sweets though. Germany must have some really good smelling urinals :D
