A Peep into Popular Delicacies in Egyptian Cuisine
While Egyptian cuisine isn’t extremely popular commercially, those who’ve had the good fortune of trying it out have commented on the variety of tastes and flavors it combines. Wheat and barley happen to be staples in the Egyptian diet, most of which is grown along the banks of River Nile. The cuisine also makes use of several vegetables, such as beets, mushrooms, molokhiyya (a distant cousin to spinach), and beans.

The Most Expensive Steak Restaurant in the World
Your trip to the most expensive restaurant in the world may not be as grand as you expect it to be. Somehow, we have this notion that anything that comes with an exorbitant price tag has to be equally ostentatious and ooh-la-la! Aragawa restaurant, Japan’s first steakhouse located in Tokyo’s Shinbasi district, disproves exactly this notion.
Believe it or not, Aragawa is not just one of Japan’s high end restaurants; it is the most expensive restaurant in the world. Reservations to this restaurant are extremely hard to come by and if you are among the lucky few who do manage to get in, make sure you are loaded with cash or your credit card has enough limit on it, since meal tabs start at $368 per head.

Oatmeal: a Humble yet Healthy meal to Wake up to
Oats – most people dismiss it as food meant only for horses. All I can say to them is that they have no idea what they are missing out on. Humble though this food might be and slightly unappetizing in its look – oatmeal is one of the healthiest ways to start your day. Health lovers could sing odes to this wondrous food that is inexpensive and quick to make. In fact, it is not uncommon these days to see oatmeal on the menu of the most posh and stately hotels all over the world.
Although there are instant oats cereals available by the plenty in the market nothing beats the texture and consistency of the real thing. With winters approaching, sitting with a bowl of hot oatmeal to ride out the cold amounts to almost sinful indulgence.

A Complete Guide to Enjoying Ecuadorian Food
