Middle Eastern Food

I was so priviledge to eat middle eastern food just now...it was a treat from stanford's student...who is a Yemeni...hmm...by the way..do u know what Yemeni is?haha...Yemeni is a nationality of Yemen....Yemen is a middle eastern country at the gulf area...

the food was very good...we were served a small bowl of hot mutton chicken soup...it was great..fragrance of the herbs from Yemen..

next..salad...or fatoush in arabic...basically...veges.....they have different types of salad..arabic salad...yemeni salad.....hmmm...i dunno much...then here comes a chicken with yellowish + orangish colour..it was special...very much different from what i have tried from mamak stall...

then there is 'salta'...a bowl of cooked mixture of egg,rice,meat,..vege...anything that u can name...is in the small bowl..it's like our chinese claypot..served with Yemeni bread..called khubz in arabic..there's another type of bread..a very thin one,lebanon bread...both were nice....

here comes the mutton with vege...i dun like mutton much...but i ate quite a lot just now...it was tender...simply delicious...served with bread as well...huh...it was a heavy 'DinnER' at 10 pm...

it was an interesting experience to get to know new friends..especially foreigners...cultural exchange...n so on..oh ya.. we managed to visit the kitchen as well..a big home made OVEN..cool~.they are friendly..u guys shd try it out...the name of the restaurant is Saba Restaurant..will attach the photos here once i get it from them...LoL~
