Marina Thai @ Souk Sharq

Today the creative department and i had gone to souk sharq for lunch :)

The food court is a very confusing place for me...its always diffcult to choose ..

so i decided to try out Marina thai..since its chinese and plus i wanted to try it out when it had initially opened..

So i had a combo..i.e veg fried rice and noodles with spicy chili chicken and chili beef....i must say the food looks very attractive :) it was my first time so i asked the server what was the best among all and this is what he recommended me :)

There was alot to choose from and good service...

The food was good...i had better chinese thou...overall it was fine!!!

They have a nice take away menu...

And it was a fun lunch with my colleagues ...

Home Made Lebanese Food

Well, my sweetheart faten gets me all home made food and i so love her for that....
She is the only one who can make me eat so many veggie's in one go...serious!!! :)

This was my dinner last night...the rolls were simply great!! and the salad...wow..i ate it like pop corn :)

Restaurant @ Failaka islands

On entering the first is Baskin robbins

'B' had a scoop of cotton candy ice cream and i had a lime Freez

It is one of the most weired Baskin Robbins i have ever been to...there is no proper menu and the place literally looks like a bakala...

Next is the oasis restaurant,which serves only drinks

Bread Talk was closed and the rest were the private dining cabins.

Straight ahead is the Failaka restaurant.

This is a bit further away from these above mentioned restaurants..its called as a Beach Burger and attached to it is a bakala

Last night - Domino's :)

Yes its the Crazy Pizza week...apparently our appetite has grown for more pizza :)

Last night was a monday night "the offer night"..buy one get one free ...so i ordered one medium margarita and one BBQ chicken which is one of their latest.

Both are delicious... the BBQ chicken looks very attractive and has a good flavor to it...

Overall,nice!!

Early Morning Pizza :)

I stay alone now...so 'B' my sweetheart ...brought food after his night shift...

It was around 5 in the morning and we were hogging off on a medium Margarita ,Chicken ,Patato wedges and Garlic bread....

yumm!!! :)

yes we are insane to have pizza 1st thing in the morning...hunger can do wonders :)

Kasab Al Soukar @ Farwaniya

So after our long tiring workout @ crowne plaza, we decided to treat ourself.

we went back to Kasab Al Soukar and this time we decided to have their very tempting ice cream..as you can see in the pictures..its big in quantity and its mixed ..

The Ice cream description:
