I just came back from the International Cultural Day in UTeM. I have to tell you I like the backdrop on the stage, it's effortless but symbolized something magnificent; it showed there are many different countries with their unique yet distinct cultures. I wish I can put the picture here. So, roughly, there were 8 different booths all together (if I'm not mistaken) from different countries namely Sudan, Yemen, Palestine, Iraq, Indonesia, Malaysia (nak jugak!), Somaliland and Somalia (not so sure). Yeke? They were all dressed accordingly and decorated their booths creatively equipped with stuffs like authentic attires, pictures, and traditional accessories. I'm sure they put a lot of effort in this. Not to mention, we were served with their traditional cuisine. I'm sooooo (exaggerating it cos it feels like eating Nasi Beriyani meh) used to the Yemeni's food but this was the very first time I had to taste the Palestine's exotic dish. Well, how do I describe it?
See the picture? That's it. I have no idea what that is called. I took the pic from Mr Google and the only difference from what I ate is that they served it with Humus. Humus is fine for me, used to have that quite a few times. Ok, I dunno what leaves are they, tasted it and I thought it's betel. I'm pretty sure, haha. It had this kind of dry but funny taste. Dry. Now what's inside the leaves? Jeng3x. It's a mix of rice and meat. So they said. Well, this is definitely one of the dishes that I DO mind to try again. Dry, sour, bitter and funny taste. I did try to eat without the leaves but the leaves did not want to leave its taste on the rice. Man, this is real exotic! Completely blew my mind, =p
Well, I've to stop here. This will be continued as I will tell you how I almost cried when listened to Jalal and his friend reciting a poem, I Miss You Yemen...owh how touching, Till then...
