Arabian Night

now that clar's back, we continue food-hunting around s'pore, esp the more uluu or exotic places when he's the car :)

had dinner at cafe le caire @ Al Majlis...where they specialise in middle-eastern cuisine. It's an Arabian themed restaurant located in the Kampong Glam area. To be more specific, it's along Arab St..

Amazingly, the restaurant complex stretches over 33, 37 and 39 Arab Street as well as 4, 6 and 8 Haji Lane and it consists of different sections with different ambience to cater to the preferences of customers. There is the informal relaxed original setting, the open air concept, the quaint Haji Lane, the sofa lounge area, the air-conditioned upstairs dining room and the Al Majlis room in which people chill and smoke sheesha (quite cool)...and so, of cos, we chose the fine dining area.haha...

the carpeted room where you can smoke sheesha..

our spread as shown above..lots of lamb..Ba’mia which is okra and lamb stew with rice (his order), shish kebab, which is just cubes of lamb pieces, with potato wedges (mine), and a feta cheese omelette the both of us shared. looks quite like turkish food cos of all the lamb but ya, somehow, the spices used made the meat taste different (not in a bad way)...well, both of us enjoyed the Arabian food very much!

while taking a short stroll after dinner...he wanted me to take our shadowsss...! it was quite funny cos the first pic we took showed no shadow AT ALL as we used strong flash..yaa..felt like we were some ghosts or sth..so tried with soft flash and it was slightly better...then finally without any flash..our shadows appeared. alrite, how silly.

let's just take a photo of our facesss.........hmm but i've no idea where i was looking then. hahaha...

arab st was a good choice...at least we avoided the crazy crowd in town and the long queues outside restaurants which serve ordinary boring food. it was also a good break away from my horrible horrible therapeutic notes. happppppyyyyyy! :DDDDD
