01st March.... We entertained a few guests....the parents of our kids' schoolmates at Raffles. One family was from Singapore and the other is from Malaysia. This was the second time that we had guests within a couple of weeks.
A few nights before, we had a few guests including a fellow Malaysian who's going home for good (his wife was with him to help him pack his things up)....
It's actually a good feeling to have guests coming to our small abode...... If the situation permits, we want to make it a monthly affair....
On the following Friday (3rd March), we had an invitation from a young couple.... friends of ours......they've moved to a new house just a few minutes from the Dubai-Sharjah border. We were treated with Nasi Kerabu, Steamboat and other Malay delicacies....including glutinous rice with durian gravy...yummy!!!.
It's there that we knew that Crocs is having a sale...up to 80% off. We didn't want to miss he opportunity.....we went there and I bought everyone a pair....errr...except for my Darling who got two....
We met a few Malaysian families there...and after Maghrib at the house of one of the families, we went to Al Ghurair City mall.... The ladies had some "business" to do there.....
"Business" finished, we went to dine at the famous Al Tawassol Restaurant.....we, three families in all, had mandy & bukhary rice with chicken, sherry fish and lamb. The kids were having a great time, much to the delight of the Arab (Egyptian I think) waiters.....
It was raining quite heavily when we left the restaurant.....full and tired...... luckily, the car park was just next door to the restaurant......
Once at home, I fell asleep on the sofa.....
what's sherry fish?
ReplyDeleteIt's a fish....shaped like a carp....but tastes better...a bit like a pomfret and/or siakap....
ReplyDeleteIt's considered endemic to the Gulf waters...
