之前已经介绍过很多中东系的美食了,有伊拉克的烤鱼阿富汗的烤肉以及叙利亚的传统阿拉伯菜,这次为大家介绍的,是来自也门的Mandi大餐——Bait Al Mandi也门餐厅。

站长的爱好是吃,但也喜欢吃背后的文化,那么也门的Mandi究竟是一种什么样的食物呢?

Mandi是一种也门传统食物,其实就是也门的手抓饭。也在其他一些阿拉伯海湾国家流行(比如埃及和叙利亚)。Mandi通常指用羊肉或鸡肉,混合米饭和香料烹饪出来的食物。Mandi的特别之处,是肉类的烹饪方式,用的是也门的一种特殊烤箱(也门叫Taboon)。通常这种Taboon就是在地上挖个洞,然后用粘土覆盖,洞里放着柴火,肉类就放在里面烤而不会接触柴火。(这种烹饪方式和印度的Tandoor烤法很相似)整个Taboon在烹饪的时候是被完全封闭的,不会看到任何烟漂到外面去。肉出锅后还会按照口味放上一些葡萄干和坚果到米饭中去。在也门,Mandi经常作为婚礼和节庆日的主食。

所以Mandi在也门属于很传统的一类食物,而Bait Al Mandi餐厅就提供纯正地道的Mandi。

站长去的是位于Deira Murraqabat Stree 的Bait Al Mandi餐厅,这家给我的用餐体验还是比较特别的。前厅很另类,在大厅一个硕大的空间里,竟然只有收银台,这个前厅的空间甚至比餐厅的就餐区还要大,但功能只是收银,收银台外观还是酒店式的,不知道的可能会以为误闯入一家酒店(也门人果然与众不同~~)……

经过空荡荡的前厅,就餐区反而显得拥挤。除了几张散客的桌子,大部分空间都是包厢(family hall)。在包厢的用餐体验是非常有意思的,包厢里铺着毯子,四面都被垫子围起来,进入必须拖鞋,没有桌子和椅子,所有人都是席地而坐,饭菜会被放在地上一个塑料纸上,大家都像也门人一样坐在地上吃饭。由于包厢四周都有软垫还有额外的坐枕,坐着吃饭比我想象中的还要舒服。(进入必须拖鞋,若是有汗脚的朋友,请慎重)

就餐区,基本都是一个个包厢。

大家都席地而坐吃饭。就餐体验很特别。

然后再来看看Bait Al Mandi的食物。Bait Al Mandi只提供4道菜,分别是Mutton Mandi(40dhs)、Chicken Mandi(20dhs)、Fish Mandi(25dhs)和Chicken Mazbi Grilled(20dhs)。才4个菜,小CASE,所以站长全部点了……

4个菜里最好吃的要数羊肉Mandi,但也是最贵的,40迪拉姆是两份鸡肉Mandi的价格,但羊肉真的是量大份足,丝毫没有膻味,口味也很出众。而也门人最拿手的菜就是羊肉,果然中东人烹饪羊肉已经出神入化了!

鸡肉Mandi是性价比最高的,外观呈现独特的红色光泽,让人很有食欲。半只鸡+米饭+配餐才20迪拉姆,所以并不能说羊肉Mandi太贵,只能说鸡肉Mandi真是太便宜了。


Chicken Mazbi Grilled是餐厅唯一一个不使用Mandi做法的食物,其实就是普通的烤鸡罢了。如果对比鸡肉Mandi和鸡肉Mazbi,就会发觉Mandi做法和烧烤做法的不同了。确切来说,Mandi是一种熏的做法而非烧烤,Mazbi有显而易见的烤后焦灼,而Mandi则带有熏肉才有的色泽。但Mandi的熏肉和大家理解的国内熏肉的味道又完全不同,Mandi没有一点烟熏的味道,而且肉质极烂,油脂被均匀地分布在肉中,非常湿润,不像传统熏肉那种干巴巴的感觉,但却有着熏肉入味的特点。

Fish Mandi就比较坑爹了,25迪拉姆只有两块小小的马鲛鱼。不过事后朋友告诉我,Fish Mandi其实有两种选择,默认是King Fish(马鲛鱼),但点的时候可以要求Shirly fish(应该是鳕鱼吧~),价钱是一样的,Shirly fish可是一整条的鱼,非常划算。

也门特色番茄辣椒酱

吃也门Mandi饭不得不说的,就是它的配菜中的特制辣椒酱——番茄辣椒酱,非常特别,在其他阿拉伯餐厅是吃不到的。这种番茄辣椒酱外观就是番茄糊的样子,刚入口的感觉也是番茄的清凉,但接踵而来的后味却是辣椒的凶猛,是一种非常奇特的口感(重口味站长表示辣得很轻松,但不食辣的朋友或许会觉得比较辣)。用它来配比较淡的米饭,真是太好不过了,番茄的酸味还非常下饭。

Bait Al Mandi的性价比可谓是很高的,人均也就20-30迪拉姆,量却很大,一份Mandi一个人吃我感觉吃不完,两个人吃一份又少了点。大家去点选的时候也请适量。

阿拉伯人吃这些基本就是直接动手了,虽然餐厅也提供一次性的小勺子,但面对这等规模的肉类完全不给力啊,所以也就入乡随俗,直接用手食指大动吧!在Bait Al Mandi餐厅,你尽可像一个也门人一样,席地而坐,用手吃饭,何等畅快。也门人纯爷们!!
