I know.... Long time no update. I'm sorry I haven't had much inspiration to blog these days.
And geez. The hols have been busier than I bargained it to be. *sigh* Sheesh where'd all that rest and relaxation go!?

Ernie's gonna be away in Indonesia with friends for the two weeks of my hols too. :(
So much for quality time with the bf, eh? Lol. But no matter... hehe. I'm taking the time to spend catching up with old friends and hanging out with other people for a change.

So today Ash and I went out for lunch.... I've been meaning to hit Saba Restaurant in Dataran Jelatek - my fave hang in Setiawangsa for good, no AMAZING Arabian food. Now I'm a massive fan of Middle Eastern cuisine... and this is really the best I've had. (Thank you Terry for introducing the place to me last Raya!! :P) But when we got there at 1pm... we forgot about the Friday prayer time and found Saba wouldn't be open till 2pm!!

Gyaaarrgh bummer!

So since we were there.... and didn't want to wait for another hour (Ack. We'll come back another time kan? Hehe).... we popped by this other restaurant called Souk Beirut.


It's a rather nice place... air conditioned... small but comfortable. Didn't manage to take a pic of the interior. x.x

We ordered 3 dishes to share.


Hummus and minced beef, which comes with lebanese bread.
The minced beef was awesome! Well spiced, and wonderful with the hummus and olive oil.


Some sort of Lebanese pizza... can't remember what it's called... but it's got turkey luncheon meat and cheese on top. Generous serving of meat and cheese... but this was not very different from a regular pizza.


Their mix grill platter which consisted of lamb, beef and chicken kebabs, some sort of thin, crispy bread, and a pungent raw onion salad. The meats were very flavourful and strong - the way I like it!! And it is also served with a very pungent and unique white sauce.... can't figure out what it is made of... but damn that thing was really really good!

All in all I guess it was a really good experience, even tho I was a tad dissapointed that I came all the way and didn't get to eat at Saba. Souk Beirut too has good food, even tho it is slightly on the pricier side, and I wouldn't mind eating there again if I had to. :)
