Shawarma Halab

Malaysians have a bad unhealthy habit. We like to eat supper, and our supper can tend to come late at night. Well at least my supper tends to happen very late at night, around 2 - 4 am. And seeing as I get hungry at such a timing, sometimes it's hard to find food to eat. Yes there are mamaks and 24/7 fast food restaurants around, but at times you just get bored of it. One go to food I like to buy is a shawarma specifically in Bukit Bintang at a store called Shawarma Halab.

I learned about its existence from a friend. We were talking and we came across the topic of food and she mentioned about this place that she used to love eating at. So she Googled about it to find the location and she was shocked learn it had actually burnt down! But don't worry, they burnt down a long time ago and was already rebuilt. They were previously known as Restoran Halap but have changed to Restoran Halab (basically they just changed the P to a B! Hahaha).

Why I love this shawarma is because it's the perfect supper food. It's not too filling but it's not too small until you feel like it isn't enough. The meat is a juicy grilled chicken with tangy garlic sauce with deliciously sour pickles. The pita bread that holds all the ingredients together is slightly brushed with the juices and oil from the chicken while it was cooking and the bread is grilled for a little while. Their hummus is a deliciously smooth chickpea that just leaves me craving for more even though I've just eaten a whole container of it. To me, they're honestly the best shawarma I have ever eaten. The shawarma only costs RM6 for a small while it's RM10 for a large. The hummus was only RM9.
