Middle Eastern eats, delivered in Hong Kong
Cuisine from the Middle East is rich and varied. A staple of it is grains or cereal especially wheat, rice, and barley. White wheat is used to make bread which is the universal staple. Wheat is also used to make cracked wheat or burghul and couscous. Burghul is used to make meat pies and is added to salads such as tabbouleh. Another popular grain is freekeh which is made from immature green wheat. The other important grain in this region is rice which is served with grilled meat or stews.
Flavour and taste like you've never tasted before
Another unique element of Middle Eastern dishes is the flavour. Flavour is added with the cooking oil which is usually butter, ghee or smen, and olive oil. Spices are also widely used in this region. A stew will usually have some coriander, cinnamon, cumin, cloves, nutmeg, black pepper, and chilli. In salads, mint and parsley will usually be added. A sprinkling of sumac (crushed sour berries) over grilled meat is also popular.
