Saudi Arabia – Kabsa
Another one for my hit list, and this one is high up there based on the spices used. You may need to have a word with your taste buds before trying this dish, just a quick prep talk to let them know they are about to be bombarded with flavor that will have them dancing all night long.
This is basically just a meat and rice dish, and it varies depending on who cooks it. However staple spices include black pepper, cloves, cardamom, saffron, cinnamon, black lime, bay... moreSaudi Arabia – Kabsa

This is basically just a meat and rice dish, and it varies depending on who cooks it. However staple spices include black pepper, cloves, cardamom, saffron, cinnamon, black lime, bay leaves and nutmeg. almonds, pine nuts, onions and raisins can be blended in with the rice to lift even more flavor. On top of this rice is a slab of meat that has been prepared in a unique way called mandi, whereby the meat is barbecued in a deep hole that is covered whilst the meat cooks.
Abu Dhabi – Falafel
This I have tried but not in the UAE, and it is one of my most favorite street food and snack. It is a fried patty that is made up of chickpeas and fava beans and is usually served in pita bread and topped with salads, hot sauces and pickled vegetables and drizzled in a variety of sauces. I am a huge meat lover, but this little vegetarian nugget totally makes it up there with my favorite foods.
Korea – Bulgogi
Now this one I have tried, and if there’s one thing Koreans know how to do it’s barbequed meat. Bulgogi is a really tasty dish that uses a nice tender cut of beef that is then marinated in delicious flavors consisting of garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, pepper, ginger, onions and mushrooms and then BBQ’d (usually at your table). You eat this heavenly beef by using the sides of leafy vegetables to wrap your meat in and enjoy. Often there can be other things on the BBQ such... moreKorea – Bulgogi
