SvenskaTo travel abroad is always exciting because you discover new food. Since I have an interest in cooking, it is fun to explore what food is offered. Often, according to me, it is the whole atmosphere that may give the extra spice. Like surroundings, climate, people and the pulse. By pulse I mean if it is a busy restaurant, tranquil, service etc. Sometimes I go to recommended restaurants from travel guides, but more often I find them by accident. Suddenly I can have an urge for eg spicy food.
It was like Swedish summer (20-25 C) when I was in Dubai. Sun every day. I walked a lot as usual. One day I had lunch by Dubai Creek, by the busy river. Since it was rather warm I just felt for a little lunch. I have had this food in Sweden but at a time when it was cold. I was surprised to discover how the warm climate made this plate (photo above) more spicy!
My biggest weakness is sweets. I found dates. Covered with chocolate. It was fun because you could make your own box of dates, just like you can pick your own box of chocolate. I have searched for these chocolate covered dates in Sweden but I haven’t found them.
