We know that your heart is racing very fast. It is because it’s 7 AM on your side of the world, which means that time for breakfast. Kudos if you find any luck finding these options in your hood. Here, we list five breakfasts from around the world you must try —  

 

 1. Melbourne: Avocado Toast

   

The avocado toast is theatrical enough on its own! The play of textures, the wee sprinkling of sesame seeds, and the yolk oozing from the egg! Some people are cynical though, and cannot stop saying that it is so pretentious, but honestly, Melbourne loves it! So much so, that there must be as many as hundreds of variations of avo toast in the city! It never gets old. Avo toast became a thing in Australia much much earlier before it spread around the world later.    

  

2.  Barcelona: Churros/Pastry And Coffee   


Wouldn’t you love to have pastries on the morning agenda, too? Well, apart from football, ginja, and partying, the Spanish people are also known for their love of pastries, namely costradaspiononos, coca…the list goes on. They all look like art. Moreover, imagining the taste of churros might really make you feel sour about what you ate this morning! Mmm, too late.   

  

3. Shanghai: Oriental Breakfast  

 

Take a wild guess — what could oriental mean? Let us tell you. Glutinous rice rolls, soy milk, fried crullers, sesame pancakes…collectively called the “four guardian warriors in Shanghai”. Sure we can vouch for the crullers. Fried dough? Bring it on! Add sesame pancakes and rice to that, that’s really a lot of food now. Interestingly, the soy milk has shrimp, pickle, and soy sauce. So, yes, we’ll eat and drink till we drop!   

   

4. Egypt: Ful 


Egypt deserves a spot on this post because the locals know how to “break” fast! Start with the eggs, which are fried in ghee. The dish itself is called beid bel basterma. You may also see a lot of fava beans in a rich stew called ful, which is also composed of cumin, lemon, olive oil and a diced boiled egg. It is served with toast or pita. On a good day, you’ll find sides like tahini and hummus in the breakfast spread, too. While you may find all these ideas appetizing, Egyptians crave those eggs in ghee.


    


We hope you enjoyed reading about these dishes! They definitely sound amazing, right?
