Night Out

Ok, my gf says that I have not been blogging enough so now I will try to blog more! Haha. But i am really lazy to write so perhaps i will just post more pics! I went to a lebanese restaurant recently for dinner and it was really good! The decor was nice and the food is fantastic!! It costs me about $40 but there has got to be the best meal I eaten so far in Dubai! Check out the place!

The mall where the restaurant is. Its called Dubai Festival City (or something like that. Haha)

The outside of the cafe. The design is really cool!

Name of the resturant. Blanc stands for White in french so that explains the color theme.

Look at the number of appetizers served! Apparently, it is part of Lebanese culture to make the person full after eating the appetizers. This huge amount of food is a show of generosity by the host (or maybe becoz we paid for all these! Haha.) Well, there are quite a few dips which you will eat it with traditional lebanese bread, abit like roti prata but much bigger. Basically bread is a huge part of their diet and you can eat anything with it! I liked the fried cheese sticks shown at the bottom right. Its really good!

The main courses. The first is traditional lebanese skwers. Its like kebab with either chicken or beef wrapped in bread. The meat are mostly grilled and you can also eat it with the dips given. The second is lamb stick with fries. I like this coz the meat is not as hard as i imagine. And the sauce that goes with it is really solid! Haha.

This is the drink they normally served after your meal. Its rose water and as the name suggests, you can smell the flavor when you are drinking it. Initially I wanted to try the lebanese coffee but I was just too full after the meal so I decided to wait till next time. Anyway Issa knows how to make it so I will just go to his place for it!

These are just of the photos I took from where my seat is.

There is a small man-made river which runs through the area and I suppose you can board it for a tour for some money. This is the seesha that they smoke in this place. Its really cool and modern looking compared to the traditional seesha. Oh ya, in this resturant, you can buy anything that you like! Like the chairs, tables, utensils, the seesha that you see here costs a cool $450!!

The Damage!! For 4 persons.

The tent in the mall which shoppers can rest after a long day of shopping!!

The disco which we initially wanted to go. Its really happening just by looking from the outside. And i can tell you, there are alot of guys and girls here with the model look! The thing with middle eastern pple (esp lebaneses) is that, they have this exotic look which you often find on the fashion magazines back home. Think its the genes or something. But its maybe becoz its at the clubs so that is always where you find all the beautiful pple. But from most of the lebaneses that i know here, they all look pretty sauve and pretty with their color eyes.

On the left is Issa (roommate with the Dubai NGs) & right is Gemile (can't really spell his name), an Egyptian.

Pic of the hotel.

The pub we ended up in. Its also a pretty place with live singer and all.

Havana Cafe plays mainly latino music and you will see pple dancing salsa on the dance floor. Amazingly, most of the pple on the dance floor have the grooves and moves! It seems like dancing is in their blood! Haha. In the pub, there is also a "Sean Paul" lookalike singer! And true to that, he sings SP's songs really well!! Haha. So there is also abit of reggae in the music.

The one with the specs is Marc (US NG) and beside me is Assaad (Service Engr from DHT).

The freaking long limo which i saw while on my way out!

All 5 of us squeezing into the cab so as to save some money!! Haha

So its was a fun night out with my colleagues. The dinner was good and the chillout was cool. Will blog more on the places I go next time.

More photos will be posted on Facebook.
