Somebody asked me about the food in Tel Aviv the other day and I just had to shake my head. Tel Aviv made me fat. It could be because the food is good. It probably IS because I subsisted nearly entirely on large vats of frozen yogurt covered with chunky, nutty granola *cue heavy sigh*. It didn’t help that frozen yogurt shops are as ubiquitous in Tel Aviv as are, well, Jewish people. Yogurt places are everywhere. I would have fro yo for breakfast. Then I would have it for lunch. And once I even had it for dinner. My obsessive frozen yogurt consumption got so embarrassing that I would go out of my way to get fro yo at establishments I’d never been to- it was just too humiliating to keep on going to the same place. Luckily, I wasn’t alone in my obsessive compulsion- my fair Liebling found himself worryingly dependent on hummus!
Really, you can’t blame me: it was so hot and humid in Tel Aviv that it was natural to want to ingest something cold and refreshing. Trendy cafes touting ice coffees, flavoured ice, and fro yo are ridiculously abundant and tempted me on every corner on our first day in the city. After being hounded by their presence for two hours, I had to succumb to the inevitable:
Yes, I ate that all by myself.
You’re laughing, I’m sure but y’all know already that despite eating whale recently, I’m not very adventurous when it comes to trying new food abroad. Before going, I was actually afraid of the food in Tel Aviv that I would encounter.
And then I discovered fro yo. Eating frozen yogurt on the scorching days in Tel Aviv evoked memories of summer back home– except that, at most establishments, I had a devil of a time trying to read the menu…
Liebling, for his part, simply couldn’t get enough hummus. Our first day, we came across this aptly named restaurant- Liebling informed me he had to at least go in and have a look:
(And by look, he meant eat.)
But guess what? There is no shame in my game. After all, a well-fed traveller is a happy traveller!
What are your favourite foods to eat abroad? If you find something you like do you tend to eat it over and over?

Without no shame in my game I ate a currywurst today! Generally in my 2 days in Germany I have been consuming a healthy dose of cold cut meat. I love it!
oh and I at the currywurst before heading to an Indian vegetarian restaurant. Yep, a girl has to get her meat portion. LOL
I.LOVE.CURRYWURST. So I don’t blame you at all…
Hahahahha! Yes, see we are on the same page and it’s so refreshing someone else is not afraid to admit their passion for food 🙂
Girl’s gotta eat!
I love the $1 ice cream in Singapore also Egg waffle in Hong Kong. I love street food :p
$1?! How did I miss out on that when I was in Singapore? *face palm*
Too funny! A diet of frozen yogurt and hummus doesn’t sound half bad. But I think I’d be longing for something crunchy after a few days!
Hence the granola in the yogurt!! 😉
If I find something that doesn’t make me sick – i eat it FOREVER. I found gluten free pides in Sydney and I went out of my way TWICE to get another one.
YUM to both Fro Yo and HUMMUS
I’m the exact same! It’s one of the reasons I am a creature of habit when it comes to food. If it doesn’t hurt my tummy, I’ll eat so much that it will!
They do have some good humus there indeed
You would know. 😉 Did you eat a lot while there?
I wouldn’t have shared that yogurt with anyone either!
I knew there was a reason I really liked you, Andi… 😉
I love fro-yo but I also have a gelato obsession! Depending on where I go, I usually find food that I will keep on eating even at the airport!
I figure if it ain’t broke, why fix it?
I could happily eat yogurt and hummus for quite a while!
Me too, the best thing is that it’s relatively healthy!
Food in Tel Aviv looks very good, tasty… maybe even worth the trip just for that.
I have to agree with you there.. 😉
I do love humus, too. The stuff there looks great. When I go to the UK I like to try their salty pastries, the pasties, I think they’re called?! Like the Indian restaurants there, too.
As a solo travel newb, I have to ask…how DID you communicate your orders to the people behind the register? I wanna travel outside of english people places to and I don’t want to go there hoping/expecting people will conform to accommodate me.
Nothing beats good humus! My mouth is watering just looking at those photos 🙂
Hi Oneika!! I’m loving all of your posts on Israel…that hummus looks amazing. My fiance and I had to cancel our trip to Jordan this year but we want to rebook it and add Israel to the agenda!! I’m going to scour your site looking for all of your tid-bits and advice ;). Did you happen to do the border crossing between Israel to Amman? Would really appreciate to hear your two-cents about it! Easy and fool-proof? Or sketchy and crazy?
