'Sudanese food has a richness of its own'

"Sudani food is my favourite. Though the cuisine has developed based on the climatic norms and availability of stocks in the country, it has a richness of its own."

"Fish is a staple of our diet and that's my favourite food category, which is why I frequent Al Shurae lil Asmak, (an Arabic restaurant specialising in seafood) located on Jamal Abdul Naser Street in Sharjah. I enjoy all their preparations, but they prepare Hammour and Shrimps especially well."

"It's an art to prepare seafood without losing out on its natural flavours. It's all about striking the right balance and not overdoing the savoury tones."
