East meets Middle East

This photo was taken last year during my delicious trinoma food tour. The event was successful as all of us went home with a full stomach and appetizing stories to tell. Amongst the food presentation feature, this one is my favorite because it looked so scrumptious that I wanted to sink in my teeth immediately. It is a meat dish with pita wrapper, hummus, and side salad. It’s from Hussein.

It was my first Middle Eastern food experience which makes it all the more interesting for me. At first I was having second thoughts trying for fear of strong aftertaste (i sometimes hate the feeling of aftertaste when you burp). But my group mates were quick to convince me to give it a shot, telling me to slice the meat into small pieces before wrapping the pita around it. Then, they told me to dip it in the hummus to complete the wonderful experience. They were so right to push me into trying it because it tastes good. I loved it. It was one of the best foods I tried on that day and it is also one of the most interesting meals I’ve ever had.
