The most important meal of the day is breakfast. You hear parents, teachers, spouses and dolled-up nutritionists on TV say it all the time. Well, I say, if breakfast is such an important meal, then I want to have it all day. Looks like Denny’s heard me.

The second Dubai outlet opened recently on Al Manara, Shaikh Zayed Road, opposite Times Square Mall on SZR. When I walked in during lunch time, one sunny afternoon, I had breakfast on my mind. One look at the menu and I had my heart set on a hearty breakfast of steak, eggs, hash and toast. Yes, at Denny’s breakfast is all-day (as is everything else on the menu).

While breakfast was getting ready, my companion and I ordered some crisp mozzarella sticks. Biting into those crispy sticks filled with gooey, oozy mozzarella gives a feeling of happiness.

And then my eyes fell on this tall, slim, heavy-on-top, dark-complexioned, beauty. Totally seduced, I shamelessly asked for a big tall glass of thick, chocolate shake. You know it is good when you feel it resist the straw being dipped in. One good draw at it, and I was filled with cold, chocolatey joi de vivre! Unbeatable! One of nicest shakes I have had. This, at Denny’s, is a must-have!

Ah, yes! My breakfast arrived. Sour-dough toasted bread, with melted butter seeped in, 2 sunny-side-up eggs, warm hash on the side and a thick slab of steak – if this is not good, then what is! The rest of the time was spent trying out various combinations, like:

• Steak and hash
• Steak, runny eggs and hash
• Toast, syrupy eggs and hash
• Eggs
• Steak
• …it goes on.

Say hello to the friendly manager, if you meet him.

And remember, breakfast is the most important meal of the day! Ask Denny’s – they are open 24×7!
