Post 100 before 2012, An interesting delicacy from the Middle East

I have come so far to reach post 100th before I move on to the year 2012. As for today, I'm going to blog about this delicacy from the Middle East. Probably most of us have never tried food from the Middle East before but this is something that one should be trying especially when the making process can be as interesting as the taste of the food. Introducing...

A chicken Shawarma.
The look remains me of the Chinese delicacy, Popiah, and the
Westernised delicacy, known as Taco or Burrito or something similar.
But the Shawarma that I have eaten would be slightly different from the above.
Unlike a Popiah, a Shawarma can contains meat ingredients like either
Chicken or Mutton or even Beef. Note: it can be vegetarian too.
And on top of the ingredients, the Shawarma wasn't served cold.
All the ingredients were wrapped together using a Pita Bread,
before it was thrown into a double sided frying pan.
After cooking it for a few minutes... Tada~~~ there you go a newly made Shawarma.

For each Shawarma that you have ordered, you get to choose 2 different sauces that goes within the Shawarma. As for the above, it was a mixture between Chilli and Tomato sauce. The taste was fantastic. You get to taste the warm Pita bread on top of the warm ingredients, which is a mixture of vegetables and meat. Here comes the best part, you don't need to worry about the ingredients getting their way through the Pita bread. Trust me, the Pita Bread is strong enough to wrap all the ingredients together.

Next, let us take a look behind the making of the Shawarma Meat...
by taking a look at the following video...

So what do you think the pillars revolving in the video are made from? Have you guess correctly? the pillars were actually meat towers. The chef will be shredding pieces of meat from the revolving meat towers directly. For all you meat lovers out there, isn't it a dream for you if you can bring one of the revolving meat towers home? XD

This would be the list of Shawarma sauces that one can choose.
Tomato, Hummus, Garlic Yoghurt, Chilli, Mayonnais and Barbeque.

The above would be the menu of the place.
Besides for Shawarma, they also serve normal Sausages and German Sausages.

As for the name of this place, that would be 'Shiraz Mazzeh'.
They have outlets island wide in Singapore.
