Food review

Article by Moria Pabello

For all my life, I had to travel around the world to complete my goal and fill my taste buds with all the elements of taste from east to west to north to south. That is my dream.

Simple, isn’t it? Well, no it’s not.

To taste all of them, at least most of them, it requires the four major rules: taste, texture, smell and presentation; but the most important thing is time management, to travel and to have to tolerate places will really mess up your mind. The constant pressure seizes and the only thing that can keep you going is if—you have enough hope, enough passion, enough time.

Street foods. The variety of dishes is overflowing! It gets better, the muraqqabat road on a walking distance impacted the way mt life functioned. Especially that, the process is easy, the four major rules are on a more basic level. Just walking in the street of lights where I can smell deliciousness in every dish, from almost around the world, in every corner I can glance, gives beyond joy.

The Arabic dish luqaimat, is a finger licking dessert that tastes so divine added with a sweet syrup that pulls your mouth from the very first bite, this diverts our minds and makes us believe—too good is too sweet. Similarly, like the Arabic dessert, I have encountered one from my very own home country called “halo-halo” which literally means “mixed” when translated to English; although this is an ice-cold dessert that freezes your tongue in the flavour with its crushed ice mixed with milk, jelly, ice cream, cut bananas, and beans just refreshes your mouth while craving for more of that icy cold dessert. These are just a few of the countless choices you can eat, those desserts are my favorite and I order them every time I visit the place.

And plus, anyone can literally go here, it’s walking distance from union metro station, near al Ghurair mall, and it’s called “The Market”. And don’t worry! If you’re worried about the dark, don’t! The place is crowded with people and lights that “secures” you from any danger you may encounter. The Market, is the place.

It’s safe to say, for all of us that food is our life, we love it more than we should for our basic needs. The taste is not the only important thing in foods, but the quality and nutrition—we don’t want to he unhealthy and fill our body unwanted excess, just remember, what you eat is what you are.
