As a result, the food scene in Israel is extremely diverse & also of a very high standard. There is actually so much more to this cuisine than their well-known Falafel β a common street food in Israel & the ones they serve here are baked instead of deep-fried (which makes it healthier). One can also expect unique range of flavours from every dish; good on their own yet goes so well when combined β I personally love the pita sandwich method above (basically add a little from every dish & you can say youβve made your own). π
Other dishes we've tried are: Hummus (of course), Labane Cheese, Stuffed Vine Leaves, Chicken Shawarma, Pita Bread, Eggplants, Green Tahini, Mini Schnitzel & more.
Overall, their food is a genuinely a great reflection of the long history of recipes stitched together to form the great flavours weβve tried last night.
Do you know that this is actually a final year project headed by a group of 4 NTU WKW students? Their aim is to expose Singaporean youths to lesser-known food cultures of migrant populations. The session held by them aka #ComeLetsEat last night at Pita & Olives (PasarBella Suntec City) was fantastic as it gave us local foodies a chance to mingle with Israeli expats & embassy members to understand more about their cultures & of course, their way to eat.
And like I always believe (it's even in my cover letter hahaha) - no matter who you are, where you come from, food will always enable us to come together as a global community to speak a common language. Canβt wait to attend the upcoming sessions at Milagro & Nara Thai! π
