What makes restaurant food tasty
With our lives becoming extremely high paced in the last few years, it is difficult to keep up with our daily routines. When it comes to housework after a long day at the office, you only wish there was some way to get respite from all this work.
In such a case, eating at a restaurant seems extremely appealing. There are a variety of cuisines that you can choose from. It is a welcome break from the daily homemade food that you consume everyday.
If you want cheap food, you can make a choice from many of the different fast-food joints around you.
Eating out is not just about the food that you eat. The ambience and the joy of being served is something that makes the restaurant experience more joyful.
Additionally, in a restaurant, the presentation of food is given a lot of emphasis. The aromas and the presentation of the food can really increase your appetite.
The china used for serving also holds an important place in the entire experience of eating out. The china in restaurants is usually pure white.
This brings out the colors of the food and makes it look more colorful and appetizing.
However, if truth be told, restaurant food though tasty, may not always be healthy. Time and again, there have been reports of unhealthy food being served at some of the most well known restaurants.
The food we cook at home is prepared with fresh ingredients and we take care to use less salt and flavoring as well as fats in the food that we cook. It is not the same at restaurants; in order to make food taste better, a lot of flavoring is used in the restaurant food. Restaurants use saturated fats which are not good for your health so as to make the food look crispier.
For instance, take chicken fajitas served at a restaurant. At home you will probably choose the healthiest of ingredients to make them, whereas, at a restaurant, the fajitas will be deep fried in animal fat. They will be soaked in sauce, bacon bits, and blue cheese, a combination which is not the healthiest.
The fixings of the fajita and the tortilla shells themselves are taken right out of an oily skillet.
Take any of the other dishes from restaurants like cheesecakes, pizzas, pastas, or non vegetarian options, the total fat count is much more than which you would consume at home.
