Dubai is the richest city in the world. What do Dubai people usually eat?

Dubai seems to give people a feeling of being rich. Everyone is a local tyrant, driving the best car, eating the best food and living in the best room ... In fact, not all Dubai people are so extravagant, and so are ordinary families. Don't be deceived by illusion.

Dubai does bring together international cuisines and many local traditional cuisines. But you don't eat delicacies every day, like the famous "camel dish", which is one of the most luxurious foods. You only eat them at wedding banquets, diplomatic banquets and various major festivals.

Generally, the whole camel is steamed with various seasonings for 6 hours, then divided into several pieces, and then mixed with various fillings, saffron, yellow rice and dried fruit to make a "big camel", not a big chicken! To eat, you need to grab the bottom of the yellow rice, tear off the camel meat, put it in your mouth with three fingers and taste it carefully. ...

However, due to high price, huge volume, difficult cooking coefficient, long time and other factors, this practice only appears in special occasions. More is used to make hamburgers, which are more popular and the price is also suitable for ordinary families in Dubai.

Of course, high-end dishes are not only camel meat, but also various seafood products, such as king crab, spider crab, green lobster, red lobster, Boston lobster, shark and so on. There are also all kinds of livestock and game, which are basically airlifted from other countries.

The diet style of ordinary families in Dubai is similar to western food such as American food and British food. Most of them are fried, fried, roasted, roasted and boiled. The difference is that their tastes are biased, as can be seen from their three meals a day. Here are some representative ones.

Breakfast: It is mainly made of various breads, such as Sangak bread, which belongs to whole wheat fermentation and is a traditional food in Dubai.

Flavor pancake, made of flour, extruded with yogurt and sweet jujube honey syrup, tastes sour and sweet, soft and tough.

Pastry, porridge, milk, goat milk ...

Lunch and dinner: Rice and wheat are also the staple foods of Dubai people, but the cooking methods are different. For example, when cooking porridge, I prefer to add a little salt and meat and cook for about an hour until it thickens.

Cooking is also different, similar to our "bibimbap". Their rice is slender and loose after cooking. Generally, spices such as cardamom and cinnamon should be added, as well as fried chicken or mutton and shrimp. Anyway, everything at home has to be mixed together. This practice has one advantage ~ it is convenient to eat and easy to grasp with your hands.

In ordinary families in Dubai, all kinds of seafood and aquatic products are the most popular. There is also a kind of food (dried fruit) called "Arabic jujube", which has deep feelings, not to say how delicious it is, but to have some special significance. Because Dubai used to be a desert, and the date palm tree was drought-tolerant, its fruit became one of the foods on which Dubai people depended. Therefore, date palms have the reputation of "desert bread". Dubai people are still obsessed with date palms, and the status of date palms in China is just like that in jiaozi!

Her kitchen (finished)

Dubai is one of the richest cities in the world, and it is also dominated by local tyrants. You can get luxury cars everywhere in Dubai, and everyone feels like a local tyrant. How can we lack food in this most glamorous local tyrant world? The food in Dubai is mainly barbecue, seafood and dessert.

1, barbecue

Dubai people's unique barbecue is roast camel. It is really the world of local tyrants. You can see local tyrants sitting around eating roasted camels. It was really shocking. Going down is the scene of eating roasted camels. How's it going? It's shocking to watch it. The outside of the roasted camel is the staple food. In Dubai, people eat rice with their hands. They held rice with meat in their hands and sent it to their mouths. Their fingers can't touch their lips. Does it feel good to look at it?

Of course, there are other barbecues, such as roast whole sheep, barbecue and roast vegetables. But the most spectacular thing is the roast camel.

2. seafood

In the world of local tyrants, seafood is absolutely indispensable. Dubai people like seafood very much. The food in Dubai is mainly seafood, but the seafood in Dubai is a little more domineering, which may be a little different from our usual view of seafood. The following are the little sharks that Dubai people eat.

Walking into the vegetable market in Dubai, you can see all kinds of exotic seafood, such as sharks, king crabs, oversized lobsters, octopus, blue parrot fish and so on. These are what Dubai people usually eat. Everything is expensive, only local tyrants like Dubai people can afford it!

3. Arabian pie

In the Arab world, pie is a must-have food on the table. When eating in an Arab restaurant, pies are usually free and can be enjoyed freely. The common way to eat it is to tear a small piece of cake and wrap it in barbecue, bean paste and vegetable salad, which is rich in flavor and appetizing. A bite of barbecue and a bite of salad are not easy to get tired of.

4. Desserts and other foods

Arabic dessert is made of meat, fruits and vegetables, with Arabic sauce, which is sweet and delicious. Arabian salad is made of fruits and vegetables with yogurt, olive oil and salt, which is both appetizing and appetizing.

Dates are famous for their nutrition and health, and have been an important part of the local diet in UAE for decades. Because jujube can thrive in desert climate, it has become a delicacy of UAE cuisine.

There are so many delicious foods in Dubai that I can't finish them. I really want to eat these authentic foods. You can go to Dubai when you have time.

Thanks for reading, thank you!

Dubai is indeed the city of the richest man in many people's minds, but the title of "the richest man in the world" is really not up to it. Even among the 10 cities with the highest private wealth in the world counted by an authoritative organization throughout the year, there is no Dubai. China, Beijing, Shanghai and Hongkong are all much richer than Dubai. At the bottom of this list is urban private wealth 1 trillion dollars, but Dubai is not bad, with 925 billion dollars.

Of course, if it is higher than GDP, Dubai is lower than some non-first-tier cities in China. The purpose of saying these "nonsense" is to express a meaning: not all people living in Dubai are so rich, so the rich may be in the wine pool, but there are also poor people who have no worries about food and clothing.

Let's start with the rich people in Dubai. Because the "local product" of this place is oil, it was originally developed by oil. Later, Dubai built a rich city by relying on port freight, import and export trade, tourism and real estate. Many people know that Dubai was originally the only seven-star hotel in the world at that time.

The traditional diet in the UAE includes roast Arabian chicken, roast mutton, roast beef and barbecue cooking similar to Shaweima. Of course, this is the diet tradition of the rich. And Dubai is by the sea, so all kinds of aquatic fish are also essential, such as king crab, spider crab, lobster, shark and so on. Because Dubai is a very luxurious tourist immigrant city, the difference is that there are many rich people who immigrate to Dubai, so you can find high-end restaurants in many countries around the world, and the ingredients can also be airlifted from all over the world, so it can be said that the rich people in Dubai usually eat whatever they want and eat wherever they want (but where do the rich people go? )。

In addition to Dubai natives, who account for less than 20% of the population, there are many low-income groups in Dubai, except for some rich people who immigrated to other countries (very few compared with the total population of the city). Of course, there are not many locals in Dubai in this group. Most of them are immigrants, and their income is similar to that of poor people in other countries, just for food and clothing.

So Dubai is not a peanut and meat forest as advertised. Of course, if the local economy permits, it is mainly beef, mutton and fish, but they are widely known in camel milk. However, if there is a rich law, there must be poor people. In Dubai, as long as the poor are full, they will eat anything cheap, such as some traditional triangular bread and other cheap food.

Friends who are interested in food, healthy diet and food anecdotes can pay attention to support them and share interesting and useful related content together in the future! I lived in Dubai for several years. Dubai is a very international city, and the food here is varied. To sum up, it is mainly Middle Eastern flavor, and most of the diets around the world can be found in Dubai; High-end hotels, restaurants and low-end fast food restaurants gather together.

First of all, Dubai is located in the Middle East, and the diets of countries in the Middle East can be easily tasted in Dubai. The cooking of Middle Eastern dishes is relatively simple, the meat is mainly barbecue, and the vegetables are mainly salad mixed raw vegetables. There are usually two kinds of barbecue: meat stuffing and whole meat. The former is called kebab and the latter is called Tika. In Dubai, I personally think Afghan barbecue is the best.

In addition to specialized restaurants, restaurants in high-end hotels in Dubai pay more attention to Middle Eastern flavor. Dining in major hotels is mainly buffet, including desserts, drinks, fruits, main courses and salads.

(These two pictures are the buffet of a famous hotel in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. )

Secondly, apart from the Middle East flavor, Dubai also has dishes from all over the world, including French food, English fish and chips, American fast food, steak, Italian food, Thai food and so on.

Finally, let me talk about Chinese food in Dubai. As the city with the largest population of China in the whole Middle East, Dubai has all kinds of Chinese restaurants.

(A high-end Chinese restaurant in Dubai, the roast duck in the picture 1000 dirhams, or 1900 RMB).

(Banquet at an upscale Chinese restaurant in Dubai)

Chinese food in Dubai brings together tastes from all over the country, including restaurants in Xinjiang, Lamian Noodles in Qinghai, various Sichuan restaurants, Hunan restaurants, Cantonese restaurants, rice noodle shops, beef noodles in jiaozi, Xiangyang, Hubei, Shaanxi-style noodle shops, mala Tang, tea shops, barbecue shops, Qingdao fried dumpling, stone fish, and various hot pot restaurants (Little Sheep, Jiugongge, Liu Yishou, Sichuan Hongmen, etc.). ).

(Oil-sprinkled noodles and cold noodles in a Chinese restaurant in Dubai)

In short, the competition for Chinese food in Dubai is extremely fierce. One Chinese restaurant with no characteristics and ordinary taste opened and one fell. At present, there are no restaurants for Yunnan cuisine and Guizhou cuisine in Dubai. Interested users may wish to give it a try.

In a word, Dubai, as a local tyrant city, mainly features the Middle East, bringing together delicious food from all over the world. Chinese food has high, medium and low grades in Dubai, and most domestic flavors can also be found in Dubai. The Chinese food market in Dubai is very competitive and has no characteristics. It is difficult for Chinese restaurants with ordinary tastes to establish themselves in Dubai.

Dubai is the second largest emirate in the United Arab Emirates. The state religion is Islam, and most of the residents are Muslims. Ramadan is celebrated every year in Arab countries. During Ramadan, the whole Arab family does not drink or smoke. If the most obvious difference in diet between Arab countries and China is that people in Arab countries don't eat pork, because they think pigs are the dirtiest animals, so all Arab countries don't eat pork, while China is just the opposite.

1. Travel to Dubai in May this year. I have eaten in hotels in Dubai, and most of them are buffets. The dishes are hardly spicy, but they are very delicate and delicious. It is recommended that Dubai's steak and lamb chops (beef and mutton are of high quality) are of Arabic flavor, similar to western food, including appetizers, soups, salads, barbecues, desserts and so on. Arabic dessert is made of meat, fruits and vegetables, with Arabic sauce, which is sweet and delicious. Arabic salad is made of fruits and vegetables with yogurt, olive oil and salt. , you can eat, appetizing.

2. Dubai is located at the seaside, so there are many seafood-based diets every day, and there are many kinds of seafood here, including many rare seafood and even seafood like sharks. And not only that, there are other kinds of food in Dubai, and there are many Chinese restaurants, but personally, the taste of Chinese restaurants in Dubai is relatively light. There are many China tourists visiting Dubai every year, so there are still many local Chinese restaurants.

Although Dubai is rich, personally, the local culture is more valuable. One day a week is a national rest day in Arab countries. They all believe in Islam. On that day, they all believed in their beliefs. On that day, the local people were vegetarian. Walking on the road, they will see many local people reading books on the lawn. Dubai has one or two activities to help beggars every year. Local rich people will give beggars relief, but there is absolutely no online rumor that Dubai beggars earn 470 thousand a month. Except for the designated days, beggars are basically not seen at ordinary times.

4. Finally, talk about the good and bad of wealth. Dubai is indeed the richest country in the country, full of beautiful cars and gold, as well as many of the most luxurious hotels, the tallest buildings, the thinnest buildings and the most luxurious mosques in the world. . . ), but the suicide rate in Dubai is also extremely high, because Arab countries are rich, Arabs do not need to spend money on schooling, medical care, childbirth and housing, and the state gives high subsidies every month, and the state rewards children, which leads many people in Arab countries not to pursue it, and many people choose to commit suicide because of extreme depression. Therefore, there is a good saying: no money is a sad thing, but more money is even sadder-Tolstoy.

There is no absolute poverty and wealth in this world. Living in this land, we should live in the present and cherish the present.

There is an old saying in China that fertile land is a thousand times, but Japanese food is just a welcome; There are thousands of beautiful houses, but you can't lie five feet at night. Although Dubai people are rich, not all the meals they usually eat at home are delicacies. Moreover, Arabs who used to live as nomads and fishermen really didn't know much about food, but anyway, let's talk about the food in Dubai.

date

Dates are famous for their nutrition and health, and have been an important part of the local diet in UAE for decades. Because jujube can thrive in desert climate, it has become the staple food of UAE cuisine. In addition, before the discovery of oil, there were countless famines in this vast desert. Because of the existence of date palms, many people survived, so they forged a very deep friendship with date palms.

Mandy (Mutton Rice)

Mandy is from Yemen and is very sought after in Gulf countries such as Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates. She cooks with rice, spices and mutton or chicken. Mutton is badly cooked and melts in the mouth.

camel meat

Camels have played several important roles in the history of the United Arab Emirates, from transportation to clothing, and of course as food. Plush camel food is a traditional food in UAE, which usually appears at weddings and special occasions.

fish meat

Fish is an important part of UAE tradition. Before the discovery of oil, most people in Dubai lived by fishing. Traditionally, coastal residents like to eat fish, while Bedouins (nomads) like to eat mutton and camel meat. To this day, fish is one of the most popular foods in UAE.

When it comes to Dubai, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely rich local tyrants. Many people will yearn for the life of local tyrants. Do you know what local tyrants eat for three meals a day?

Their favorite fruit is date palms. This kind of fruit is rich in nutrition and beneficial to longevity, and it has always been the favorite of people in desert areas.

When it comes to dinner, we can't help but mention camel meat and mutton, both of which are frequent guests on the Saudi table.

How to eat is also very simple, mostly barbecue or cooked with rice-flavored seasoning into a delicious "Mandy", which is full of color, flavor and mouth watering.

The last thing to say is fish. As a kind of rare meat, ordinary people don't necessarily eat it every day. However, on holidays, people always buy a little rare things.

It must be eating goods, haha
