The very Special Chicken Shawarma Salad
The Egyptian Chicken Wrap
What is a chicken shawarma anyway? “Shawarma” is a meat heavy dish. It is commonly found throughout the Middle East with variations along the way. Often the meat is thinly sliced, stacked then cooked slowly on a spit or rotisserie. Historically, only lamb was used but today shawarmas can be made from chicken, beef or even turkey & other meats.
Many people do not realise that Egyptian food is all about spices. Egyptian shawarma marinades may include cumin, cardamom, cinnamon, turmeric, and paprika. Our chicken shawarma is marinated in secret sauce for 6 hours before cooking.
It is tradition for Egyptian shawarmas to be served in a flatbread. Our flatbread is made-to-order fresh in-store using a specially formulated flour mix for our store.
Typically, the shawarma is topped with tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, pickled vegetables & a sauce like tahini sauce. Our chicken wraps are on a bed of mixed leaf salad, garlic, pickles & mild Harissa sauce.

Get ready for Melbourne Cup
Melbourne Cup, is it really the race that stops the nation?
I used to live in Melbourne and I can personally say that leading up to the Melbourne Cup Carnival was magnificent! I don’t know if it’s just Melbournians finding as excuse to partee, but it always felt like Christmas. The anticipation was as exciting as the carnival week.
In my younger days, much much younger days, my friends & I could only afford General Admission tickets. I’ll confess now only because I’m betting on the statute of limitation, we would brain storm how we could sneak in alcohol. We were very creative indeed!
Back then, the Melbourne Cup most definitely stopped the nation in our minds.

The Race & the wiser me
Sheepishly, I must admit, The Spring Carnival was as exciting if not more when I was older. Older meant I could afford better tickets, better clothes & more money to spend on the horses! Yup the same group of misfits, but in sleeker clothes & thinking that we’re all that – indeed we were – to us anyway!
Then I moved to Sydney.
Sadly the momentum for the Melbourne Cup has never been the same. But one thing that has remained the same is getting together with friends. In a way, it has been better. Maybe because I’m older, more mature, who knows! But, I get quite excited when I host a Melbourne Cup party especially the catering!

Catering makes it or break it
So things I’ve learnt about catering for a Melbourne Cup event:
- Individual portions – trust me, you’d want to minimise mess. The cleanest way is to have individual portions & not a buffet style catering
- Something for everyone – have a variety of food. Best if you have something with meat, veg, fruit/ treats. Even better if you find out if any of your guests have specific food requirements
- Bins – have a recycling bin & a general waste bin. Place it somewhere people can see
- Pick up time – pick up your catering at least 1 hour in advance. So make sure you choose a catering provider who’s food will still taste great a few hours later.
Most of all, relax & have fun!
