Do as the locals do!

After a long day of meetings today, my local partners brought me out for dinner!

We were at this place called the Souk Madinath near Jumeirah. The place is beautiful!

 

We did drinks at Starbucks prior to dinner and it was Starbucks with a view! 

Dinner was at a restaurant next door where they brought me for Arabic food! 

 


 


Al fresco coz the weather was just too good! Like a chilling 19-20 degrees?


We were first served some crackers...


 

And they even ordered shisha for me!



 


Lol! Don't know if I did it right but the grape taste was good!

The restaurant even provided Arabic cloaks if you are feeling cold....




the cloaks totally converted our outfits to be so apt with the restaurant theme!

They ordered a eggplant dip to share.... 


 


this was sooooo good! great dip! the egg plant is smashed till like humus and the pomengrante center added a crunch. so good!

Vine leaves wrapped rice...



rather interesting dish! its a bit sour, probably due to some vinegar seasoning. the rice in the middle is soft, i quite like it!

Arabic salad... 

 

it was quite a spread!

 


a warm soup for the cold weather...




lentil soup!

chicken with some wrap like thingy... 


 

and mutton kebab...




i typically don't take mutton but theirs is so good!

great place with a very lovely view!


 




Dubai is such a wonderful place! its very different from our initial perception.

Importantly, the shops are open till so late! Cheesecake factory opens till midnight and service is impeccable!

Went over for supper!

Loaded baked potato tots

 




this is pretty good! the inside is with bacon and cheese!

Mac and cheese balls.....




this is so good! the cheese and macaroni is all loaded inside the deep fried ball... 




we probably went a bit too far on the cheese tonight, went for a 4 cheese pasta.... 



for starters, i don't like penne. the 4 cheese was still not cheesy enough. In that the cheese taste isn't the strong tasting kind of cheese, felt more like the cheddar kind.

for dessert, tonight we chose the amores and it is sooooo good! the marshmallow was truly melted and the cake is moose like cheesecake.... 


 


 



awesome!
