Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper
is the age-old mantra for a healthy diet. As a chef, this is as far away from
being a possibility for me as is a social life that is worthy of mention.
My
waking hours are 12 noon to 4 am.
When I'm just out of bed with my stomach rumbling to break its ten-hour
ordeal of a fast, I can seldom find a restaurant or cafe that still serves
breakfast. Mumbai, to my dismay, still doesn't have a decent diner-style
establishment that serves breakfast 24X7. So I skip eating altogether.
It's an unhealthy habit but I'd rather not eat anything than be forcefully
subjected to eating a random mid-day sandwich or a heavy thali as my first
bite.
Nevertheless, I love breakfast.
