Maki Introduces the New “AliaApproved” Maki

On the 3^rd of October 2013, we planned an event for Maki to unveil the new “AliaApproved” Maki. Maki, a fine contemporary fusion Japanese cuisine restaurant, exuberates elegance and culinary innovation. Maki transcends the boundaries of culture and food, as it embodies fusion cuisine is all about. Maki is collaborating with Alia Almoayed, a nutritional therapist, author, health speaker, and consultant. Alia Almoayed writes health articles for various publications, runs TV and radio programs on health and nutrition, holds lectures and seminars on the on the subject, leads annual health retreats, and heads a number of weight loss projects.

Maki approached Alia to design her own maki, the latest addition to Maki’s series of health-conscious options. After carefully selecting the ingredients of the maki Alia envisioned, the “AliaApproved” Maki was born. The “AliaApproved” Maki is the first maki delicately made of brown rice. The “AliaApproved” Maki is wrapped with mame paper (soybean paper), fresh local grilled hammour, with fresh cucumber peels, fresh avocado, and sprinkled with wasabi flakes.

The “AliaApproved” Maki officially launched on October 3^rd, where the maki has been added to Maki’s extensive, diverse menu. During the launch event, Alia introduced the concept behind her maki. “We’re huge fans of Alia’s work and believe in her message. We are thrilled to support her by creating our first brown rice maki available at Maki restaurants in the region,” exclaimed Amer Zeitoun, Maki’s Managing Partner.
