I still remember the store beside my university campus where I tasted my first shawarma one afternoon. One way that this has been localized is through a dish called shawarma rice. Of course, it is not a Filipino meal if it does not have rice in it. To make the turmeric rice: cook the rice as you would and add a teaspoon of turmeric for color. To assemble: on one side of the tray add your turmeric rice and add the ground beef on the other.
