Breakfast

Finding breakfast here is like finding the ‘golden arches’ at the end of the rainbow. Arabs aren’t big on breakfast. I don’t think they’ve even heard of breakfast. I think all other nationalities living in Dubai would drop dead drooling if they saw that McDonald’s ad with the guy swinging a plate of hotcakes… “Because of you…” Sigh… No big breakfast at Macs here. No breakfast, period.

McDonald’s serves its regular burgers n fries in the morning, while most other food outlets don’t even open till lunch. You can’t even get local breakfast here cos it doesn’t exist! No ham n eggs (obviously), no Middle Eastern alternative to kaya toast n half boiled eggs, or roti canai with sugar. No fishball kuay teow soup or nasi lemak or hotcakes with maple syrup. At least now I have a valid excuse for waking up late.
