Review: The Hummus Games @ Semsom

This year I was 1 of the lucky bloggers who were invited to The Hummus Games - Season 2 which was held last Thursday at Semsomin Citymall Dora.

More than 30 foodies, food bloggers, and media started 
showing up around 6:00 p.m.

We enjoyed refreshing drinks, engaged in a fun games to win extra ingredients, before we were finally requested to step into the 
 Game Zone and start a very friendly competition to come up with the best and creative Hummus Plate :) 




The Venue

So what is The Hummus Games all about?

Hummus has always been a huge part of our traditional Lebanese Mezza. It's a very simple plate that's made up of Hummus paste, Tahini, oil, lemon and spices (according to each one's preference and taste)

However, Semsom (among many other restaurants) have added a exceptional twist to this classical plate with various creative Hummus plates including: Sumac, mint, olives and beet.

Participants in The Hummus Games were requested to use 4 ingredients from a wide selection of spices and ingredients provided at The Games and come up with their own creative version  that will be featured on Semsom's menu around the Middle East.


The Game Zone

Each participant had their own work station, with certain kitchen tools, a basket with an apron, instruction sheet, and an envelope filled of invitation gifts for all.
Then we were requested to buy our 4 ingredients with the 4 tokens we were given!

The market was full of wide variety of different colorful: spices, herbs, olives, honey mustard, raisins, pine nuts, sumac, sesame and pistachio among many others, all displayed in bowls. Add up to a huge variety of fresh fruits and veggies such as: Apples, bananas, pomegranate, cucumbers, lemon and oranges, carrots, zucchini, bell pepper, vegetables and legumes.

I grabbed my 4 ingredients and headed off to my station for some serious Hummus Making :)

Once time was up, we had the pleasure to enjoy mouthwatering bouchées and jovial competition, while the judges:
NGNO blogger Anthony Rahayel and Semsom's CEO Christine Sfeir tasted all the yummy plates before announcing the 3 winners for The Hummus Games - Season 2!

Obviously I haven't won this competition but I sure enjoyed my evening with the lovely company of many fellow bloggers.

​The spirit and positive vibes were rewarding enough.

Thank you Semsom for this lovely event.. I Loved being part of this amazing group!
