The Global Village's Delicious Bites & Sips

It's Global Village season, which means, for most of us, delicious bites and sips!
Since the weather has been amazing lately, I try my best to do as much outdoor activities as possible, visiting the Global Village almost weekly is one of them.
Here's my "Global Village Food Tour" pictures and reviews.. ENJOY!

Morocco Pavilion:

Moroccan Briouats - a paper-thin Moroccan dough filled with chicken and seafood (liked the chicken one more, the icing sugar on top is a magical touch)

 

Moroccan Chicken Couscous - light, fluffy and nicely seasoned, portion enough for two.


 

Turkey Pavilion:

Knafeh - Freshly made, crunchy crust , but totally TASTELESS

 

Dondurmali Irmik Helvasi - Semolina Halvah with ice-cream (too sweet, amazing texture)

 



The Famous Iskender Kebab (Turkish Food Court) - thinly cut grilled lamb with hot tomato sauce over pieces of pita bread served with some yogurt on the side (I've had better, the kebab itself tastes good though)

Turkish Baked Potatoes - You can never go wrong with baked potatoes, here you get to choose the topping, mine is coleslaw and mint yogurt (this is comfort food *love*)

Between the Chinese and the Pakistani Pavilions:

 

Poffertjes/Dutch Mini Pancakes - puffy little pastries that are rich in taste and melt in your mouth

 

The Global Village's Food Court:

Layali Bait Jadi Shawarma sandwich -  Instead of being cooked on an electric grill, this Shawarma is  grilled horizontally on charcoal (Heavenly)

 

Khalifa Bin Zayed Foundation:

Homemade Fatayer - Middle Eastern pastry that is stuffed with meat, spinach, cheese, or zataar (freshly baked, light and fluffy dough, my fave was the mini Falafel burgers)

 

Tunisia Pavilion:

Bambaloni/Tunisian Donut - (This is totally different than any donut I've ever had in my life, totally different texture -  was the highlight of the tour)

Dubai SME:

I just sampled some of their ice-cream, tasted a bit weird because camel milk is slightly salty by nature and NO it doesn't taste like "Salty Caramel ice-cream" LOL

Sri Lanka Pavilion:

Delicious Karak made out of Ceylon tea (even if you are not a karak person, this is a MUST)

 

 

Oj Says: There is way much to try, and much to experience.
