Yesterday, The National listed some of the most expensive dishes available. For example you can find a burger for Dh495, a 1.8kg tin of caviar for Dh52,326 and a cupcake made with 23-carat edible gold sheets for Dh3,676.
Luckily there is no dearth of eateries in our country. With more than 200 nationalities, almost all of which have eateries to provide their compatriots with a taste of home – whether it’s Afghan tandoori, Japanese sushi, Filipino halo-halo, Nepalese momo or Lebanese grill – you will find the authentic cuisine of any country you can imagine.
And you can get many traditonal delicacies for a handful of dirhams. For instance, the average price of a thali at a smaller Indian restaurant is Dh10, while a dosa costs Dh5. A couple of samosas would set you back Dh1 or Dh2, while a plate of momo would cost Dh10. You name it and it’s available at equally low prices.
We all like to splash out sometimes, but your wallet and tummy will thank you for seeking out tasty cheaper options.

'THE WORST THING YOU CAN EAT'
Trans fat is typically found in fried and baked goods, but you may be consuming more than you think.
Powdered coffee creamer, microwave popcorn and virtually anything processed with a crust is likely to contain it, as this guide from Mayo Clinic outlines:
Baked goods - Most cakes, cookies, pie crusts and crackers contain shortening, which is usually made from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. Ready-made frosting is another source of trans fat.
Snacks - Potato, corn and tortilla chips often contain trans fat. And while popcorn can be a healthy snack, many types of packaged or microwave popcorn use trans fat to help cook or flavour the popcorn.
Fried food - Foods that require deep frying — french fries, doughnuts and fried chicken — can contain trans fat from the oil used in the cooking process.
Refrigerator dough - Products such as canned biscuits and cinnamon rolls often contain trans fat, as do frozen pizza crusts.
Creamer and margarine - Nondairy coffee creamer and stick margarines also may contain partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.

Electoral College Victory
Trump has so far secured 295 Electoral College votes, according to the Associated Press, exceeding the 270 needed to win. Only Nevada and Arizona remain to be called, and both swing states are leaning Republican. Trump swept all five remaining swing states, North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, sealing his path to victory and giving him a strong mandate.
Popular Vote Tally
The count is ongoing, but Trump currently leads with nearly 51 per cent of the popular vote to Harris’s 47.6 per cent. Trump has over 72.2 million votes, while Harris trails with approximately 67.4 million.
Business Insights
- Canada and Mexico are significant energy suppliers to the US, providing the majority of oil and natural gas imports
- The introduction of tariffs could hinder the US's clean energy initiatives by raising input costs for materials like nickel
- US domestic suppliers might benefit from higher prices, but overall oil consumption is expected to decrease due to elevated costs
