Brilliant breakfast dishes from around the world available in Dubai
Congee at Royal China
Popular across China as an everyday breakfast staple, congee is simply a cross between a soup and a thin porridge, made with rice, sometimes eaten plain, and sometimes mixed with meat and vegetables. If you visit Royal China for dim sum (a traditional breakfast in the Cantonese regions such as Hong Kong and Macau), you can also sample items on the congee section of the menu, which includes recipes such as plain, salted chicken with preserved egg and prawn with fresh scallop.

Foul at Zaroob
Foul is an Egyptian dish, often eaten for breakfast, of mashed fava beans, mixed with olive oil, cumin and onion. To some extent, foul is to fava beans what hummus is to chickpeas. You can try foul at Time Out Dubai’s best budget restaurant, Zaroob, and if you’re keen on starting your day (or ending your night) with Egyptian flavours, you can also try a selection of feteer here too.
