Food porn: home and away

Yet another set of stuff I ate.

I know you won't enjoy this as much as I did eating, but there's some good stuff here.

A huge amount of prosciutto inside a soft bun. The prosciutto was really salty so I sweetened the whole thing by using date syrup as a sauce (and some mustard too). This creation made me tired, satisfied and really proud.

Shawarma in a laffa (taboon bread) roll. Along the chicken shawarma there was a salad, some fries and two sauces: tahini & amba. Quite an awesome lunch.

Grilled chicken breast with oven baked vegetables (potatoes, yams, beets, roots and some other stuff I can't recall). This was served on plain white jasmine rice.

This deserves a post of its own. A wonderful place (called The Bun, as seared on the bun in the image) serving variations on Asian cuisine (noodles, soups, wok fried dishes, and this little gem). My favorite dish is a pair of steamed bao buns with pulled beef with sweet pickles and a tangy sweet sauce. If you ask nicely you can also get the same dish with pork belly (not on the menu).

This is just a Persian style soup that came along with some meatballs (I'll see if I can find actual pictures of them). Pretty good dish, made by my girlfriend's aunt.
