Chapter 1435 Egyptian Food
“As you tell, grilled pigeon meat, shawarma, fried fish, kataive, herb chicken, Arabic rice, samosa dumplings, curry salmon… these are all Egyptian specialties.
The juice includes mango, sugar cane, orange juice, and mixed flavors. I recommend you try sugar cane juice. Guests usually like to drink it the most, sir.
I hope you have a happy meal here. If you have any questions, please feel free to tell me. I will wait at the door."
After the middle-aged hotel manager in a black suit served the dishes personally, he helped introduce the names of the dishes on the table. There were two large tables of various dishes, each dish with two servings, and he took the bodyguard and assistants to order them together.
"Thank you, the taste is so fragrant."
After Han Xuan finished speaking to the restaurant manager, he helped him pour a glass of sugarcane juice and also helped Anya pour a glass. He drank it at the school gate in his previous life and could hardly remember the taste of sugarcane juice.
As a foodie, whenever you go to a place, you naturally have to taste local delicacies first.
There are not many Egyptian restaurants in the United States and I have never had a chance to eat them in two lifetimes, so after I went back to my room and washed my face, I asked the waiter of the Hilton hotel to arrange a few servings of all the specialties.
The hotel's instructions to Han Xuan can be said to be in accordance with all the requests, without any trouble, just saying that we have to wait.
Due to insufficient preparation of ingredients, I waited for nearly an hour and a half before waiting for these dishes. It can be said to be the Egyptian version of the "Manchu and Han banquet". All kinds of dishes are placed, which can shake the eyes of flower people and mix various fragrances together to make their index fingers move.
Fat Ding squatted on the table, with a small plate in front of him. He couldn't wait to eat. As soon as he stretched out his claws, he saw his master's threatening gaze. His expression was entangled for a while and he still didn't dare to continue stretching. He was so anxious that he almost rolled around and made a fuss.
Han Xuan took a sip of freshly squeezed sugarcane juice. The sweetness was just right. Adding a few pieces of ice to this hot weather is more suitable. The restaurant space is too large and the air conditioner is not very good for refrigeration. Almost no one is there at noon.
Secretary Dawson stood beside Han Xuan and began to be busy with the meals. There were only three people next to the table, including William, and he would definitely not be able to finish so much food.
I divided Han Xuan, Anya, and William a little bit, and took the rest to another table, with the bodyguards and assistants there, each of whom enjoyed a plate as a buffet. No one didn't like to eat delicious food, but I just thought the lunch was so rich and too greasy.
Let’s eat Kataeve first. This kind of sweet treat can usually be eaten only during Ramadan. It is a bit like Chinese dumplings, but it is much larger.
The filling is made of raisins, pine nuts, etc. After wrapping, it is not boiled or steamed, but fryed in a pan. Anyway, Han Xuan gave up after taking only one bite and rinsed his mouth with water. In his opinion, it is really not delicious.
Samosas is very popular in India, Israel and other places. Since Egypt is located in the Middle East, Samosas is also a popular food in Egypt.
When Han Xuan was in India, he had eaten Indian-flavored samosa. At this time, the filling in the samosa triangular dumplings in front of him turned from curry, potatoes, green beans, etc. into beef, cheese, etc. The taste and experience were very different from before.
Arabic rice is slender and has a hard texture. In addition to large pieces of chicken, the herb chicken rice also has various herbs, spices and nuts. Han Xuan tasted this flavor for the first time, and the shape is easily associated with Indian pilaf.
Egyptian food has a strong taste, and a few are very delicious, most Korean Xuan doesn't like it. I taste a little bit of it, and I can't tell the taste until I end up eating it.
“Do you usually eat lunch like this?
When I was in school, a sandwich would be enough for lunch, and dinner would not be as rich as today, unless it was a banquet.
Life is so happy. I also want to achieve financial freedom one day like you. Order a serving of the food on the menu just to taste their own tastes.”
Prince William was eating pigeon breasts, his movements were very gentle, but he was very fast.
Anya could no longer eat it, so she covered her mouth and burped quietly. After hearing this, Han Xuan looked at her and smiled, saying, "There is a very famous dish in this area. We can try it tonight. It is the largest dish in the world, enough to fill a hundred people."
Secretary Dawson heard about it and immediately laughed. When he was in Dubai, he heard from his boss.
Prince William didn't know and asked in surprise: "It's really a lot to let a hundred people eat, what kind of food?"
“Roasted camels.
Almost all Arab countries have this dish. Nomads often use roasted camels to entertain guests during festive banquets.
This dish is amazingly large and is made of baked with eggs, fish, chicken or duck, sheep, and camels. They stuff the cooked eggs into the belly of the fish, then bake the fish and stuff them into the belly of the chicken or duck.
Then the roasted chicken or duck was stuffed into the belly of the sheep. After the sheep was roasted, stuffed it into the belly of the camel. Finally, the whole camel was baked, and with special seasonings, it was said that it was very delicious.
Prime Minister Ismail just told me that he was preparing a roast camel to welcome us, and it would probably take a night to prepare. I forgot to ask him where he was going and would notify us of the location.
How about it, go and try it together?"
Hearing Han Xuan’s words, Prince William immediately put down the fork in his hand and complained: “Tell me early, I won’t eat so much.
This is the first time I heard that camels can be treated as food. Such a strange feast must be visited."
"The history of camels being made into food has a long history. It is recorded that during the Silk Road between the East and the West, Western merchants would bring more camels, which not only allowed them to transport goods, but also rations on the way."
Han Xuan quietly threw a look at Secretary Dawson and continued to say to William: "I will take Anya to deal with a business in the afternoon. How about coming back to meet you in the evening?"
I was going to find the little girl's grandfather, but it was hard to bring him with me. William heard that Han Xuan had no intention of letting him go, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go back to sleep."
Remember to pay for the meal, and I only bring one hundred pounds when I go out this time.”
"One hundred pounds?" Han Xuan asked him in surprise: "If you only bring one hundred, you dare to go out for a trip?"
"Aren't you there? I didn't think about money at all when I know I'm going out to play with you."
William inherited a fortune from the princess, but he had no right to use it at present. The money was almost meaningless in his mind. The entire British people were supporting him. This was said quite shamelessly.
“…”
Han Xuan was speechless and didn't care about this little thing. Now he just wanted to send the child to her grandfather.
He took a clean wet towel to wipe his face and hands, stood up and said, "Okay, let's leave for a while."
He told the manager that the cost was above his own. Han Xuan got in the car from the hotel door and left, but the child was still held by Secretary Dawson.
In the restaurant.
One of Prince William's bodyguards was slightly depressed. He received an order from his superiors at night to take the girl away, but he never found a chance to start.
Now that Han Xuan has left, he can probably guess what he is doing, so he hurriedly hid in the toilet and reported to his superiors.
After carefully asking Prince William if he knew about the baby, he also asked in detail about the baby. Finally, the bodyguard received the order that he planned to cancel.
