What is the difference between Chicken Majboos and Chicken Biryani? How do you react when you are suddenly face to face with the Amir (Ruler) of Kuwait? And how do you survive a dust storm? These are just some of the issues Kuwaiti bloggers are discussing this week.
Rieaane, a Filipino living in Kuwait, shares with us how to cook a traditional Kuwaiti dish.  She writes the full recipe and explains the difference between Chicken majboos (a Kuwaiti dish) and Chicken Biryani (an Indian dish) in her blog philq8.
I always love cooking and making experiments with the foods I found in our kitchen.  Since I am in an Arab country right now, I always aim of cooking all the Arabic dishes that I want to eat.  And since some of the ingredients of these dishes are not suitable in my taste, I always make a way to cook it in my own style and personal taste.   I also noticed that the Chicken Biryani (Pinoy Style) which I posted here few months ago ranked 3rd in this blog’s top posts for the month of April.  Few days ago, I tried to experiment arabic dish again called Majboos.  It is an Arabic dish which is consist of long grain rice and chicken or meat. The meat or chicken were boiled before frying, then the rice is being cooked with the meat or chicken’s  broth.
