Well almost at the fag end of Day 11 and now writing about Day 10. Anyways I had begun writing this blog for 10 days and then trip got extended, else would have been on a flight somewhere between Manama and Delhi at this time.
Anyways, its my 10th day and apart from an odd reference here and there on what am eating, there is not much I have talked about food in this part of the world. Well this is a surprise for me as well. For a foodie like me to not write about food. Is it that food here is not that great to write about or there is not enough variety. Well the answer is none. In all these days, have been stuck with the contrast this city offers to what I have seen and lived through till date that of all things food took a backseat. Now am finally on my favorite topic in any travel, food.
Am not going to talk about Arabic coffee, that everyone knows about. But Arabic food, particularly if you are no vegetarian is delicious. The amount of variety you get on the plate is enormous and can be a delight for a food buff.
I have eaten at a local Arabic restaurant twice till date. In between have tried cuisines from across the world, from Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, Indian, British, Mexican and Italian. Offcourse should not exclude, the wonderful local Kababs, Shewarma and appetizers.
Food is usually served with bread as in India, but the way food is prepared is very different. This is not as spicy as Indian or Mexican but not bland either. I have been in love with their sandwich/wraps and off-course appetizers. I have been regular with this stuff and find similar food in Persian, Lebanese cuisines as well.
Well today for Dinner had gone to a Turkish Restaurant, Koshi Bashi which our Partner took us in. Magnificant food and some of the best appetizers. Also, eating out like this is a common form of entertainment in this part. Okay, the section for singles (read males) is different but at times, the food and ambiance compensates for all else.
