eat Moroccan food

For a truly spicy date, fly to Morocco! But who can afford international airfare these days? For a more budget-friendly Moroccan date, try a Moroccan restaurant instead. Start with couscous with beef or lamb, wash it down with some mint tea and then watch a live belly-dancing performance to end the night. It’s the perfect exotic and fun date!

Help correct that imbalance while enjoying a wonderful dinner date by taking your honey to a Korean restaurant. Just be warned, the kimchi can be pretty spicy.
