For my second edition of Scottish Scran, I present you to a dish which I most commonly associate with breakfast - even though here I am serving it as a supper.
A finnan haddie is a type of smoked haddock which originated in the town of Findon (also known as Finnan) near Aberdeen. Lightly salted and cold-smoked over peat, it replaced the older style spelding - a dry, salted unsmoked haddock that had been common until the advent of the railways made this lighter curing possible.

Continuing my post on my recent Cameron Highland trip, now … where was I? Oh yes, food.

It is after all just light bite and soon after, in less than 30 minutes that we made our way down to Brinchang for our late lunch.
Late Lunch at T-Cafe, Brinchang
My sis suggested us to go check out T-Cafe, a supposedly famous quaint little cafe located above Mary Brown fast food place. It is highly recommended by most of the famous guide book hence we went in with high expectation. This was what we ate.
Fresh Mushroom Soup, great stuff!

This post will be a bit of a surprise on this blog since it is a vegetarian blog! But then, we are ovo-lacto-vegetarians. I refuse to get into discussions about how could I be vegetarian if I eat eggs!!

While I don’t make it very often, we like this egg curry (though my daughter will pick out the yellow and keep it aside). It must be the coconut milk that goes into the curry.
