My favorite kind of food is seafood. I don't remember if I told you but I am from a city that is located in the coast of my country, so we have a variety of seafood there. I prefer go to restaurant to eat this kind of food. In my city has a famous restaurant that prepares different types of seafood, including my favorite one, shrimp. Beyond the amazing food, the restaurant has a incredible attendant service and the space has a pretty delightful atmosphere. Just to you know, the restaurant's name is Camarões Potiguar (Potiguar's Shrimps).
ReplyDeleteI love shrimp,too.if I have a chance,I wanna try it.:>
DeleteI also love shrimp! Maybe it's because I grew up on the Gulf Coast, and we had lots of it ( them?).

ReplyDeleteIt sounds delicious, I’m mad about noodles especially after I had learned how to use a chopstick! I knew it’s a same taste when we eat it by fork but a different feeling. I would to try it, if they make for vegetarian
DeleteYes, that does sound good! I don't know much about Korean food, but am very familiar with Japanese food. Did you know that there are lots of good Japanese restaurants in the neighborhood of St. John's, around Astor Place? I have been to 3 of them, but am not sure of their names.
DeleteActually I do not have any favorite foods. I like all of the food, except the steamed bun, because I cannot stand the smell from here. When I was young, the first time ,I tried to taste it, but I felt something in my throat. However, I like eating something sweet. In China, because of the district , every place have different taste. In my city ,people like sweet. One day, sweet food makes me happy, when I eating. In addition, I have a little bit hypotension, so sometimes I need them. Now I am used to bring with the candy every day. I also like eating different kinds of cake. I know a place which have delicious cakes, But it is not sell on the store, it is just sell in home. It is made by less sugar and less fat, it is better for the healthy. In my opinion, I think something light is good for people,less salt and less monosodium.
ReplyDeletetry to eat some banana it has a lot of potassium. i hope you like it, and work with you :)
DeleteYes, that is a challenge to find foods that are sweet and that are also healthy and good for us. I understand that chocolate has been found to have some health benefits. I hope so!
DeleteFirst of all, I’m vegetarian. For this reason I really enjoy with Lebanese cuisine. They have a different type of appetizers include salad and pie such as “ Muhmrah” it can be beef or spinach or Zaatar. Also I like a sweet and sour flavor and they use a Pomegranate Molasses. Also you can find a lot of choice for the main course. Like rice or vegetable and meat. There is one in NYC named ilili located in 5th Ave I love their food and the atmosphere but it’s crowded in the weekend and also it’s an overprice but I highly recommended to visit this place in special occasion.
ReplyDeleteZataar is an herbs from oregano
I am not too familiar with Lebanese cuisine, but your description surely sounds good. Where on Fifth Avenue is this restaurant? I think I have heard of it.
DeleteIt is in 236 5th Ave NY 10001. I think this is a great place to start your first experience with Lebanese food
