Middle Eastern Cuisine: A Brief Overview
Middle Eastern cuisine encompasses a vast array of vibrant, deeply flavourful dishes that have evolved over centuries.
It's the culinary equivalent of a great soap opera, but instead of drama, we're treated to an explosion of tastes.
We're talking about a palette of flavours so diverse, it could make a rainbow jealous.
Let's immerse ourselves, shall we?
Picture strolling through one of the best restaurants in Singapore, where the air is heady with the scent of herbs that you can't quite pronounce but will definitely attempt to, just to sound a bit fancy.
Now, envision this—a platter of the best kebab in Singapore.
It's not just meat, it's a masterpiece of marinade and heat, which could easily beat any attempts at barbecue back home.
And why stop at kebabs? There are velvety hummus dips that you'd want to write home about, and falafels so crisp, you hear them sing when they break.
And, who could ignore the Michelin-star restaurants in Singapore, where Middle Eastern dishes get a high-fashion makeover?
These places don't just serve food, they serve stories, plated with a side of flair.
In a nutshell, if Middle Eastern cuisine were a movie, it'd be a blockbuster hit every weekend.

Miznon's Signature Middle Eastern Dishes
Diving into the heart of Miznon's menu, you'll find an array of signature Middle Eastern dishes that truly showcase the culinary finesse of our vibrant eatery.
Let's dish about our dishes, shall we?
Fried Chicken Schnitzel Pita
Our Fried Chicken Schnitzel Pita combines crispy breaded chicken breast with tangy aioli mustard, pickles, fresh tomato, and a crunchy cabbage salad, all enveloped in soft pita bread.
The crispy chicken, a satisfying crunch against the softer components, is a testament to the careful balance achieved in traditional Middle Eastern cuisine.
The inclusion of fresh vegetables like tomatoes and cabbage not only adds a nutritional boost but also introduces an invigorating crunch that complements the breaded chicken.
The pickles, with their sharpness, cut through the richness and add an essential zesty note. This choice of ingredients fosters a sense of inclusion, ensuring that each bite holds something for everyone.
The Mezze
Delving into the essence of Middle Eastern hospitality, Mezze offers an array of falafel balls, freshly cut vegetables, hard-boiled eggs, olives, and herbs, each component meticulously chosen to represent the region's vibrant culinary landscape.
It's a curated experience that invites you into a tradition of communal eating and sharing.
You'll notice that each ingredient in the Mezze plays a critical role. The falafel balls, crispy on the outside and tender within, provide a satisfying texture contrast.
The vegetables, bright and crisp, add freshness that balances the deep flavours of the falafel.
The hard-boiled eggs and olives introduce a layer of richness and brininess, respectively, enhancing the overall complexity of the dish.
Herbs, not merely garnishes, are pivotal, offering bursts of freshness and linking all the elements with their aromatic presence.
The genius of Mezze lies not only in its flavours but also in its ability to bring people together.
It's a celebration of diversity, crafted with love, designed to make everyone at the table feel like they belong.
This is the heart of Middle Eastern culinary tradition, fostering a sense of community through shared plates.

Selection
We start by playing matchmaker with fruits and vegetables, choosing only those that scream 'I woke up like this' perfection.

Imagine housemade tahini and aioli having a party, giving you the authentic taste of Middle Eastern cuisine but the sassy version of itself.
Cooking

Whether it's roasting, grilling, or sautéing, we apply just the right amount of heat to coax out rich, deep flavours without losing the soul of the vegetable.
It's like giving them a tan, not a sunburn!
Presentation
Finally, we dress them up to look one-of-a-kind! A drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of herbs, and perhaps a dollop of tahini served in a cardboard.
We don't just serve food, we serve experiences that linger on the palate long after the meal is done. So come and take a bite, let's travel to the Middle East together, one bite at a time.
