Must-eat food in Dubai

As living conditions are getting better and better, many people are no longer satisfied with domestic travel and like to travel to neighboring countries. Just like the Chinese saying “If you haven’t been to the Great Wall, you are not a true man”, when you go to other countries, you must try the local food to make the trip worthwhile. If you go to Dubai, you must try the local SHAWARMS. This article introduces the must-eat foods and shops in Dubai. If you want to travel to Dubai, you must take a look.

SHAWARMA

If you haven’t been to the Great Wall, you are not a true man; if you come to Dubai and don’t eat Shawarma, you will regret it for the rest of your life. The crispy tortilla wraps are filled with delicious barbecued meat, pickled vegetables or French fries, and then coated with a layer of sauce. Put it in your mouth and take a bite, the delicious sauce wrapped around the grilled meat will hit your taste buds. Awesome!

CHIPS OMAN

For many long-term residents of Dubai, CHIPS OMAN is the taste of childhood. Just like the Angel Potato Chips from Greater China, it’s not the taste that matters but the feeling. Besides eating them directly, you can also crush them and sprinkle them with cheese and hot sauce. The appearance is not good but it tastes delicious~

KEBAB

KEBAB is actually what we often call Turkish kebab, a dish that is as famous as Chinese mapo tofu. It can be found in Europe, Asia, America, and Oceania, and can almost be said to occupy every corner of the world. It can also be found in the UAE, and is usually eaten by slicing the meat like roast duck and making it into salads or sandwiches. One of the more famous restaurants in Dubai is Al Ustad Special Kabab, located next to Al Fahidi Metro Station in the old city. The meat is juicy and delicious with a unique marinade recipe. It is one of the oldest restaurants in Dubai.

HUMMUS

Chickpeas are a common food in Dubai. People in the Middle East usually make chickpeas into hummus, add butter to make a dip, and eat it with freshly baked Arabic bread. It is a delicious, authentic and healthy Middle Eastern delicacy.

CARROT CAKE

Carrot cake may sound strange, but since a cafe called The Lime Tree Cafe located in Jumeirah 1 opened in 2001, their carrot cake has become an internet celebrity food. Many people want to learn from the original but can never surpass it.

KARAK CHAI

This coffee-like drink is a famous native beverage in the UAE, made from black tea mixed with milk, sugar, and cardamom. The taste of cardamom is hard for Chinese stomachs to appreciate, but it is recommended that tourists visiting Dubai try it.

MANAKISH

This dough is the pizza of the Middle East. There are all kinds of toppings on the dough, but the most delicious combination is salsa with some cheese.

FALAFEL

A vegetarian favorite. The classic way to eat it is to put it in pita bread to make a rustic sandwich, or just eat it as a snack with tahini (sesame paste used in the Middle East).

KUNAFA

At first glance you might think it's a pack of instant noodles, but it's actually a dessert from Levantine. It consists of cottage cheese soaked in a sweet rosewater syrup and topped with special shredded pastry. Friends who like desserts, trust me, go and try it~
