Rise and shine! 10 iconic breakfasts from around the world
Breakfast may be the most important meal of the day, but what that looks like varies wildly depending on where you are. From Malaysia's rich, fragrant rice dishes to a full Turkish spread, morning meals offer a delicious glimpse into local culture. These 10 breakfasts from around the world tell stories far beyond the plate. Turkey: Simit Simit is part of a full Turkish spread at breakfast – Photo courtesy of GoTürkiye Kahvalti is the name of a full Turkish breakfast, an assortment of breads, cheeses, meats, jams, spreads, olives, sliced tomato and cucumbers, and egg dishes. It also includes simit, a ring-shaped bread covered with sesame seeds with a chewy texture and crunchy exterior. Simit also is a common street food in Istanbul and is often sold at snack bars on ferries. Switzerland: Muesli Muesli is one of the most well-known breakfasts around the world – Photo courtesy of Jucker Farm AG A Swiss breakfast encompasses yogurt, cheese, meats, boiled eggs, braided bread called zopf, and a buttery crescent-shaped gipfeli pastry. Another standard offering is muesli, a cold dish of soaked rolled oats, nuts, seeds, and dried fruits. Advertisement Muesli was created around 1900 by Swiss physician Dr. Maximilian Bircher-Benner for patients at his Zurich-based sanatorium, promoting it as a meal to support overall wellness and natural healing. The dish grew in popularity beyond the clinic, and over the decades, variations with fresh fruit, yogurt, and seeds evolved. Singapore: Kaya toast Kaya toast is often served with eggs and coffee in Singapore – Photo courtesy of Singapore Tourism Board In Singapore, kaya toast is a breakfast specialty and an afternoon snack. It's made with two slices of toasted bread filled with butter and kaya, a sweet coconut jam, and often served with coffee and soft-boiled eggs. It's believed that Hainanese immigrants created the dish, adapting British-style toast with local ingredients, while working on colonial ships during the Straits Settlements era. After settling in Singapore, many Hainanese opened kopitiams — coffee shops that began flourishing after World War II — where kaya toast became a signature offering. Advertisement United States: Eggs Benedict Eggs Benedict is a breakfast and brunch staple – Photo courtesy of Waldorf Astoria New York Found on many hotel and restaurant menus across America, this classic dish consists of two halves of an English muffin topped with Canadian bacon or sliced ham, a poached egg, and hollandaise sauce. This dish has two origin stories, both beginning in New York City. Storied steakhouse Delmonico's lays claim to creating the dish in 1894, when Delmonico's chef Charles Ranhofer named the dish after Mrs. LeGrand Benedict, a longtime customer who once asked the kitchen to make her something new. Another story involves stockbroker Lemuel Benedict, who claimed it was invented for him at the original Waldorf Astoria in 1894. Being hungover, Benedict ordered eggs, bacon, buttered toast, and a pitcher of hollandaise sauce. Wherever it came from, it's still one of the most essential breakfast and brunch staples today. Scotland: Haggis A typical Scottish breakfast often includes haggis – Photo courtesy of VisitScotland A proper Scottish breakfast contains similar foods served in Great Britain and Ireland, but includes specialties such as Lorne sausage, Tattie scones, and black pudding. Then there's haggis, a savory pudding made by blending sheep's heart, lungs, and liver with a medley of grains and spices, then stuffed into the sheep's stomach to be cooked. Today, it's mostly cooked in a synthetic sausage casing. However, its origins in Scotland go back to ancient times. Advertisement Malaysia: Nasi lemak Malaysians kick of their day with this coconut and pandan-flavored rice – Photo courtesy of Tourism Malaysia / Los Angeles A typical Malaysian breakfast includes nasi lemak, rice cooked in coconut milk and pandan, making it richly flavorful and fragrant. It comes with a spicy chili condiment, sambal belachan, and other accompaniments like roasted nuts, a wedge of a hard-boiled egg, dried and salted anchovies, and sliced cucumbers. Peru: Pan con chicharrón Pan con chicharrón fuels many weekend mornings in Peru – Photo courtesy of PROMPERÚ A beloved sandwich and a traditional weekend breakfast item in Peru, the pan con chicharrón features marinated and crispy pork belly accompanied by slices of fried sweet potato known as camote. It's topped with zarza criolla — a refreshing salsa made with red onions, lime juice, cilantro, and a touch of rocoto chili. Served on crusty bread, it's often paired with coffee or fresh juice. While the exact origins of pan con chicharrón in Peru remain uncertain, it's believed to have become popular during the colonial era, influenced by Spanish culinary traditions that favored pork. Regional variations of pan con chicharrón reflect Peru's diverse geography and cultural traditions. Jamaica: Ackee and saltfish Ackee and saltfish, a breakfast favorite, is Jamaica's national dish – Photo courtesy of The Jamaica Pegasus Hotel This traditional meal combines salted codfish with ackee and is considered Jamaica's national dish. When cooked, ackee, a creamy yellow fruit, resembles scrambled eggs in texture. Advertisement It's typically sautéed with onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, garlic, and Scotch bonnet peppers, creating a savory and slightly spicy flavor profile. Ackee and saltfish usually comes with sides such as festival (a traditional type of fried dough), boiled green bananas, or breadfruit. Saltfish is also part of signature meals in other Caribbean destinations, including Saint Lucia's green figs (green bananas) and saltfish. Costa Rica and Nicaragua: Gallo pinto Gallo pinto, a savory rice and beans dish, is the star player in Costa Rican breakfasts – Photo courtesy of Hotel Three Sixty Consumed mainly in Costa Rica and Nicaragua, this nourishing breakfast dish involves a mix of rice, beans (commonly black in Costa Rica and red in Nicaragua), and chopped up bits of onion and bell peppers. Enhanced with garlic and cilantro, this mixture gets plated with fried and scrambled eggs or avocado. In Costa Rica, it comes with a popular bottled condiment called Lizano Salsa Sauce, whose taste is similar to Worcestershire sauce.

Top 5 Best Hotel Spas in Berlin for Ultimate Relaxation
Serenity and salvation found at this top hotel spas in Germany's most chic city. Waldorf Astoria Berlin Compared with many other European hubs, Berlin's beauty and wellness space is an untapped gem when it comes to cultivating rest and relaxation. The city is blessed with historic communal baths and nude spas; but for international travellers who may not (yet) be comfortable with this swimsuit-free etiquette, luxury hotels are the way to go — they offer self-care treatments in private facilities and cater to your comfort level and preferences. Here are the Top 5 best pamper-worthy properties: Massage treatments. Grand Hyatt Berlin This aptly named 'grand' hotel by Hyatt and its design was conceived by Swiss designer Hannes Wettstein. Venturing inside the property, you're greeted with soothing tones that have been accented with eclectic furniture and art that echo a Bauhaus aesthetic. The minimalist yet welcome aesthetic is also found within their popular Club Olympus Spa & Fitness (located on the 8th floor) that offers treatments, massages, and relaxation services. What to get: Signature Treatment: A 90-minute, all-encompassing indulgence service that allows you to dabble in a bit of everything. Here — you receive a tailored body massage, arm & hand scrub; a firming mask and facial; and it's finished with a scalp massage. Remedy Facial: A nourishing and reviving treatment suited to those with sensitive skin. The service harnesses the prebiotic power of sugar beets; the vegetable contains vitamin C and antioxidants that aid in brightening the skin. Beets also contain betaine, which helps stimulate collagen production and strengthen the skin's resiliency. Other notable features: The spa is nearly 8,700 sq. ft. and outfitted with a modern gym, indoor pool, outdoor terrace, jet tub, sauna, steam bath, and solarium. It's a popular place for locals and international visitors to enjoy due to their roster of options that include day spa passes, membership, and Bonus Card treatment program. Culinary pampering: The spa offers a 'sky breakfast' inside their Relax Lounge that offers rooftop views of Berlin; this is particularly ideal for those making use of a day pass — the wholesome spread includes fresh salads, charcuterie, local breads, yogurt, and more. For a more intimate evening experience that's ideal for couples, you can opt for their 'Close to the Stars' experience — guests have private use of the pool and whirlpool on the rooftop, with views of the starry night sky all while enjoying moonlight swimming. Bistro Mitte: this is a casual lounge-like ambiance that features a soothing fireplace on the main level of the property. It features a range of local and international delights to enjoy. For those in a spa-state-of-mind, top suggestions include their salmon spring bowl that's teeming with quinoa, beet root, asparagus, wild herbs and lime ginger dressing; and chard roulade — a vegan creation that sees plant-based meat tossed with green spelt and olive sauce. 4. InterContinental Berlin Sauna room is available to guests and non-guests of the hotel. InterContinental Berlin A haven within the city, SPA InterContinental offers one of the largest self-care facilities in Berlin. What to get: Original Thai Massage: the property is well-known for offering this signature treatment — it is a traditional practice that marries assisted yoga and acupuncture with stretching techniques. VIP Massage: a holistic service that includes a body pack (designed to aid in relaxation, release tension, and improve circulation), a glass of champagne, and full day spa use. Other notable features: 10,000 sq. ft. of space, heated indoor swimming pool, a whirlpool, Finnish sauna aimed to detoxify and revitalize (AKA "löyly," — sees steam created by pouring water on the hot rocks inside a wood lined space), 24/7 fitness room, and private sun terrace. Day passes for non-hotel and hotel guests are available. Memberships (weekday/full week) can also be purchased. Culinary pampering: Marlene is a sleek and modernist outpost that offers 'nourish dishes' that echo the ethos of their spa. Order the 'local soul bowl' that has a cornucopia of ingredients like buffalo mozzarella, marinated red cabbage with cranberries, pickled pumpkin, caramelized walnuts, and turnips — with (recommended) upgrade to add-on their locally sourced Kikok chicken; or for a hearty vegan option, their 'miso zucchini' dish is an umami wonderland uses white soy mayonnaise, wasabi, edamame, and quinoa. 3. Stadtbad & Hotel Oderberger Midnight swim inside a historic (former) bath house. Hotel Oderberger Conceived in 1898 by architect Ludwig Hoffmann, the Stadtbad & Hotel Oderberger is a historic outpost which was once a public bath house. In the late 1980s, it was shuttered due to a lack of maintenance. Eventually, thanks to a citizen's initiative, the bath was saved and purchased by GLS Language School and the space underwent renovations in 2011/2012. In 2016 and into the present, it reopened as a hotel — which includes 2 apartments, and 10 seminar rooms. What to get: The Midnight Swim: a fun and private experience designed to be shared between two people sees the exclusive use of this historic swimming pool. Not only can you soak up the beauty of the place (all to yourself) but the experience also includes a rubber duckie souvenir, towels, bathrobes and a bottle of Oderberger Pinot rosé sparkling wine (exclusive bottling from the Marbé Sans winery) to toast the evening to. Other notable features: This experience allows you full and private access to the lounge, showers, sauna, and steam rooms. The Midnight Swim experience starts at 10pm and goes until 12am. Culinary pampering: If staying overnight on-property, wake up to a luxe hot and cold buffet featuring an array of organic produce, along with vegan and vegetarian options. There's more surprise and delight: fresh orange juice to pair with bottomless sparkling wine and Eilles Tea Diamonds Tea bags to take home at the end of the meal. 2. Waldorf Astoria Berlin Spanning over 10,000 the spa features an indoor pool, relaxation areas for rejuvenation, and five treatment rooms. Waldorf Astoria Berlin Opened in 2013, this art-deco inspired property oozes quiet luxury and charm in Berlin's City West. This decadent hotel features Germany's very first Waldorf Astoria Spa. Spearhead by Nancy Wilke — appointed as the new Spa Manager for this year — the property ushered in an updated roster of services for 2025. 'Our spa's treatment menu has been thoughtfully refreshed to include opulent rituals, indulgent packages, and signature treatments designed to harmonize body and mind,' says Wilke. What to get: Berlin Chic Massage, 'you can only find this treatment here. We use oils and massage techniques that activate your body's self-healing powers that help boost your immune system, improve metabolic activity and blood circulation,' the team explains. Spa Signature Facial, 'our spa collaborates with renowned German skincare brand BABOR, recognized for its high-quality, scientifically-backed products,' says Wilke. Infused with aromatherapy, the treatment tailors to your needs; and additionally, the aim is to reduce the skin's inflammation, puffiness, and redness. Other notable features: Offers 10,000 sq. ft. of space, five therapy rooms, a cloud-shaped pool, sauna, steam room, sun terrace (accessible in the summer months), hydrotherapy circuit and fitness center with 24-hour access. Day passes and membership options are available for non-hotel guests. Culinary pampering: ROCA emphasizes Mediterranean and health-conscious fare in a vibrant, lively space including alfresco dining on their terrace. Try the quartet of fresh salads such as beetroot & artichoke; iconic Waldorf salad; tabbouleh; and sweet potato. Follow it up with a poke bowl that's fortified with quinoa, avocado, tofu chickpeas, ducca, peanuts, and tomatoes. For something indulgent, try a contemporary twist on Berlin's iconic street food — Berliner curry sausage. Here they source from Havelländer, then gild the meat with their special curry ketchup, and pair it with crispy, golden spuds. 1. Hotel Adlon Kempinski Berlin The award-winning spa uses products from 111 Skin, doctor formulated skincare. Adlon Spa This grand dame of hotels — whose history stretches back to the 1900s and whose prime location is situated in front of the famous Brandenburg Gate — is an icon you do not want to miss out on. 'We are a bucket-list spot, so naturally — it goes without saying that you need to have a spa day here as well to truly soak up all the on-site pleasures!' says Asta Sasnauskaite, Spa Manager for The Adlon Spa by Resense. From hosting dignitaries and celebrities that span from Queen Elizabeth II and Michael Jackson to former U.S. President Barack Obama, the hospitality here remains unparalleled — and yet, welcoming and accessible to all who visit. What to get: The Bespoke Polish: an effective and customized treatment to suit all skincare types and needs, 'for polishes (any kind of peeling/scrub - depending on the guest skin type or guest request), a 111SKIN dry peeling is applied or a very popular brush peeling is carried out as an intensive brushing of the body. Not every skin tolerates oils, salt peelings, etc — here we use poppy seeds, which are a natural, gentler alternative for salt crystal based peelings,' explains Sasnauskaite. Adlon Detox Cure Day: bliss at its finest which includes a 50-minute detoxifying lymph drainage massage; and all-day use of the spa facilities for the ultimate in pampering. The Dramatic Healing Facial: a facial from 111SKIN (one of the top skincare companies in the world) to revive skin that has been damaged, inflamed or irritated. In using their proprietary masks, tools, and beauty products, with a combination of massage and application — the treatment will result in nourished, hydrated, and protected the skin from the inside-out. Other notable features: The property features two sprawling spa sections. The original part of the building the hotel (renovated in Oct 2024) offers about 9700 sq. ft. of relaxation and hydrotherapy — including a heated swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, steam room, and techno gym (one of the biggest in the city). Part two of the Adlon spa (in the other wing of the hotel) is spread out over three floors and is about 10,000 sq. ft. It features a hairstylist (who has worked on European royals and celebrities), 13 treatment rooms, and three private spa suites that can be booked out for special/social events. Culinary pampering: The Brasserie Quarré (a charming restaurant overlooking Brandenburg Gate) features a Spa-specific 'Daily Dish' that's on-rotation but features German delights with a sophisticated Adlon twist that's previously included Viennese escalope, Berlin veal liver, pan-seared scallops, Quail galantine, and many more. If you're planning on doing an all-day spa experience, round-off the experience with a memorable meal at two-Michelin star restaurant Lorenz Adlon Esszimmer led by chef Jonas Zörner. This five-course gourmet meal is grounded in its European heritage but overlaid with a deft, contemporary zeal for curating evolved flavor profiles. Currently, it is showcasing a seasonal menu with creations like a hamachi rose that's nestled with green strawberries, dill, and finished with imperial caviar; and a Saddle of lamb (sourced from the coveted Polting farm) that's paired with seasonal green asparagus, Vadouvan (French-inspired curry sauce), and finished with salty lemon.
