This small adventure would cost her a punishment when she returned home, but she found it irresistible pleasure, just like any child who longs to try eating out. The surprise is that this experience left a lasting impact on Najwa, as she still refuses to eat a hamburger outside the home to this day.</p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <span style="color:hsl(187, 48%, 51%);">Victorious Okra..

During the episode, Najwa revealed a funny story that goes back to her childhood, when her father was a fan of okra and would not accept anyone in the house rejecting it. One day, her father came home and asked her if she had eaten, and when she said no, he decided to deprive her of eating any other food if she did not eat okra. With the stubbornness of children, Najwa refused to eat for an entire day, but her father insisted and the argument continued until the third day, when there was no room for resistance. "I went 3 days without eating, and on the third day I was hungry... I was going to die! I ate it and found that it is the best food in the world!" Since that day, okra has become one of Najwa's favorite dishes, especially if it is cooked with lamb, which gives it a rich and distinctive flavor.</p><h4 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <span style="color:hsl(187, 48%, 51%);">Najwa Karam's Kitchen, the Kingdom of Principles and Laws</span> </h4><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:800/450;" src="https://cdn.sbisiali.com/news/images/3bf476b0-c4c3-43c7-8374-db077f1cd279.jpg" ></figure><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> In Najwa Karam's house, cooking was not just an ordinary task, but had strict rules and regulations set by her father, whom Najwa described as "the doctor in the house!" Her father was very meticulous in preparing food, starting from the cooking method, all the way to the temperature of the fire. Her mother was committed to his instructions to ensure his satisfaction and happiness. Najwa inherited this commitment, and believes that "we, the Easterners, must cook perfectly, and everything I learned from my mother came out successful, as attested to by everyone who tried it. Most importantly, good food must come from a good soul."</p><h4 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <span style="color:hsl(187, 48%, 51%);">Christmas celebration and a flood of greetings</span> </h4><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1000/1500;" src="https://cdn.sbisiali.com/news/images/193c2e7f-4c24-40c9-a1ae-b0ac0d8ae3c4.jpg" ></figure><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <span style="background-color:unset;color:rgba(0,0,0,0.87);font-family:inherit;font-size:16px;"><span lang="ar">You can follow the news and</span></span> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://sbsial.com/ar/features/celebrity-ads"><span lang="ar">advertisements of celebrities</span></a> <span style="background-color:unset;color:rgba(0,0,0,0.87);font-family:inherit;font-size:16px;"><span lang="ar">and all their</span></span> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://sbsial.com/ar/features/exclusive-content"><span lang="ar">exclusive content</span></a> <span style="background-color:unset;color:rgba(0,0,0,0.87);font-family:inherit;font-size:16px;"><span lang="ar">that you can only find through the Special application, which is</span></span><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://sbsial.com/ar"><span lang="ar">a social networking application</span></a> <span style="background-color:unset;color:rgba(0,0,0,0.87);font-family:inherit;font-size:16px;"><span lang="ar">with special and unique features, as it includes a podcast that provides many unique features as you can launch</span></span> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://sbsial.com/ar/features/podcast-and-voice-recording"><span lang="ar">a podcast</span></a> <span style="background-color:unset;color:rgba(0,0,0,0.87);font-family:inherit;font-size:16px;"><span lang="ar">with your friends or listen to others, and it also provides knowledge of</span></span> the various <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://sbsial.com/ar/features/celebrity-collectibles"><span lang="ar">possessions of celebrities</span></a> <span style="background-color:unset;color:rgba(0,0,0,0.87);font-family:inherit;font-size:16px;"><span lang="ar">.</span></span></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> In another context, Najwa Karam celebrated her birthday amidst a flood of congratulations from her fellow stars and her large audience, as she received many messages full of love and appreciation for her long career as the sun of Lebanese song.</p>
