Paetongtarn's support rose sharply from 21.6% from a September poll, when the majority surveyed were undecided.

Best of: gustăm împreună o specialitate orientală. Șapte localuri din Chișinău unde găsești cel mai cremos hummusEste bine cunoscut faptul că hummus-ul este o specialitate orientală foarte veche, așa încât nici astăzi nu i se cunosc exact originile, pentru că era foarte răspândit în Orientul Mijlociu. Cert este însă un alt lucru, proveniența termenului, pentru că „hummus” din arabă se traduce ca – „năut”. Astăzi, pe lângă rețeta originală din năut și tahini, există o multitudine de alte noi arome și gusturi ale acestei specialități. Adorat de vegetarieni, de devoratorii de savori orientale și pur și simplu de cei care iubesc să mănânce gustos, ne-am gândit să facem un Best of cu șapte localuri din Chișinău unde vă puteți alinta papilele gustative cu un hummus cremos și aromat.
