The Perfect Food

Ever searched in vain for that great tasting food outside of the region of its origin? I still haven't been able to locate that special pizza outside of Italy; the great tasting shawarmah or kebab outside of the Gulf; that delicious butter chicken outside of India.

Despite it's global popularity, the pizza in Italy is nothing like the pizza you get everywhere else. A scrumptious light thin crust; mild yet flavourful tomato sauce; cheese melted to perfection; sublimely smoked meats; garden fresh vegetables. That's what pizza is really like, not this heavy, overpacked and greasy version you get elsewhere.

The grilled meats available at most local cuisine restaurants in the Middle-East. A meat lovers utopia. Succulent meat pieces grilled to perfection, along with roasted onion and homous. Simple, yet so satisfying.

What can I say about butter chicken? A dish fit for royals; the aroma itself will fill your stomach. A rich gravy with juicy bits of chicken. Best enjoyed with butter naan or the likes.

Bon Appetit mes amis.
