Learning Adjectives thru Food Trip

My mother  was trying her best to familiarize me with adjectives.  Instead of doing some exercises from the book, she asked me to make picture blogging for better appreciation of adjectives.

She gave me topics to choose.  I chose "Food Trips".

Tamis Bread




This is the Tamis Bread.  This is a round, big, thin, white bread which is very popular here in Saudi Arabia.  It is prepared in a very hot oven made of bricks.  Packing thamis bread after a minute of cooking will be done by yourself.  It is good to eat this bread while it's hot.









Ful Mudammas

For many people here in Saudi, Tamis bread tastes yummier with  a dip made of fava beans which is called the Ful Mudammas.

Honestly, I don't like its taste.  It's too creamy for my taste buds.  My parents love eating it with tamis bread and they eat them for their dinner.






Cooked Sambusa






Our Muslim housemates are very generous in giving us this food with or without special occasions.  
Sambusa is always present on their tables whenever there's an event. 


uncooked sambusa

It's similar to the Filipino-Chinese recipe "lumpia"/ Spring roll.  It comes in variety of fillings like
beef, chicken, vegetable and cheese.
 The wrapper is rectangular in shape made of flour and eggs.  The finished product is triangular in shape.

I love eating sambusa as much as I love eating lumpiang toge at shanghai!!




Kabsa Rice with Grilled chicken
  Eating this food is commonly done by laying a clean plastic on the table.  No plates nor spoon and fork to be used.  I enjoy doing it however, the kabsa rice is  filled with different herbs and spices and really tastes different from the common white rice that makes it less attractive for me to eat it.




Galaxy chocolates

Sorry to my pulmonologist, but I can't help eating chocolates here!  I really like the delicious, creamy and sweet variety of Galaxy chocolates here.
