The fry-free experience at AM PM Eat Good
Fry-free food! That’s what AM PM Eat Good in JLT is all about. Last evening, we got the opportunity to meet Khaled, the owner of AM PM Eat Good and try out some of his favorite dishes from the menu. What’s more interesting is that we got to learn his idea behind the food offerings at this restaurant and what really fueled its conception.
Khaled doesn’t believe in diets. He says diets merely restrict people from eating what they really love, to such an extent that they keep waiting to get free from that diet, only to end up with weight issues all over again, leading to a never ending cycle of body destruction. He says why cut out your favorite foods when you can make them healthier, lighter and cleaner? Whether its swapping deep-fried fries for baked ones or using skimmed milk instead of full cream for sauces, it doesn’t take much effort in replacing ingredients, not does it affect the taste, but the results definitely show.
Focusing his food offerings around the number of calories that go into every dish, Khaled also offers meal plans that are designed to add nutrition to your daily intake, balance all that good food with deliciousness, and take away unhealthy cravings.
The AM PM Eat Good menu consists of everything from salads and sandwiches to burgers, pasta and rice & noodle meals. Moreover, even their ice cream is healthy. AM PM Eat Good has partnered with Nouq to serve camel milk ice cream at their restaurant.
The Quinoa
The Quinoa at AM.PM Eat Good Restaurant packs a whole lot of colour and flavor. What I loved the most about this salad is how it combines fruits, vegetables and nuts – all in one super healthy bowl. Right from cucumber, lettuce, peppers, brocolli and sweet corn, to cranberries, sunflower seeds, red beans and olives; this quinoa base salad is presented with defined layers that showcase the variety or nutrition contained within.
And that berry dressing, with its sweet and tart flavors, just makes the whole thing taste so much more better.
Western Chicken Meal
If you ask me ‘which is the one dish you would be willing to eat anytime, everytime’, it is this. Although the chicken curry gravy was just perfect, I must confess, the steamed rice in this Western Chicken meal were absolutely out of this world. Now I am not using a randomly picked adjective when I say ‘out of this world’. I am a big fan of the rice that’s served on Emirates Airlines. I have literally been asking people where can I find that similar taste without having to buy a ticket. But I am overjoyed to say that I have found it – right here – at AM PM Eat Good.
The chicken curry too, had a very familiar taste. That tender cooked chicken breast tossed with mixed vegetables in a creamy pink sauce brought about a very comforting feel. It felt like home.
Moreover, this was Khaled’s favorite too. This one comes highly recommended. And so does the next one.
PM Pasta
How would you like a pasta, that comes with the best of surf, turf and farm in it? Voila! The PM Pasta at AM PM Eat Good cannot be missed. With creamy penne as its main ingredient, this ‘countryside meets ocean’ pasta combines seasoned shrimps, smoked hot dog, and marinated chicken strips in one wholesome bowl. Topped with parmesan cheese, parsley and onions, this pasta is served with crispy baked garlic bread on the side.
What I loved the most about this pasta? The shrimps of course. Anything shrimp is a winner for me. But this pasta just upped its appeal with the addition of hot dog pieces and tender chicken. Seeing all three in one dish is sort of like a dream come true for many, including me. Try this out if you don’t believe me, and you’ll be delighted too!
Nouq Ice Cream
What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear Camel Milk Ice Cream? I say, sure, why not?
Most of us will never say no to trying out ice creams. Because, who would do that right? But even then camel milk ice cream might come across as well, maybe too heavy, too milky, too bland? Trust me, put all those weird ideas aside and give Nouq a try!
For one, these gelato ice creams are not at all heavy or ‘too milky’. In fact, they really do have a gelato like texture. And for another, they are extremely healthy. Made with whole organic camel milk, high in minerals and Vitamin C, and absolutely free of hormones, these ice creams instantly feel light on your tummy.
We were glad to try out two of their bestselling flavors at AM PM Eat Good Restaurant – Caramel Biscuit and Pistachio. But they have a lot of other interesting flavors too. Enjoy Middle Eastern inspired flavors like Baklava, Dates, Umm Ali, Turkish Coffee and more. And tell me which one was your favorite!
