*Burp*.. ahh excuse me.. i know its rude.. but in some cultures they say burping is a perfect sign of satisfaction and appreciation for the food that you just ate.. so for time being im from that culture! lolz
Im in one of those moods these days... the mood to try out different kinds of food.... last to last week my friend and i went to Thai Kitchen at the park hyatt hotel in dxb... and well.. the ambience was awesome i must say... and the place is quite.. umm.. how can i put it? well.. the best suitated word would be .. romantic.. ( ok.. its not ga ga goo goo time.. its just meant for illustrative/supporting adjective purpose~!)... the weather was great and it had this modern arabic souq feel to the place. For those of you who have ever taken THM101/102 at A.U.S ( American Univeristy of Sharjah) would know how we all pictured some evenings in Al-Andalus maybe? Well, lets just say the whole place reminded me of that! Well done i have to agree.
Coming to the food... well.. service .. good... servings.. bad... why bad? well my hand curved like a bowl can hold more curry than they provided for 2 people!!! we asked for this shrimp dish and we got 2.. ONLY 2 BIG FAT PRAWS IN A TINY SIZED BOWL.. and guess how much that thing was priced at?? AED46./- and that my frineds.. is a total rip off! Servings were really small, food wasnt that awesome.. infact it wasnt as enjoyable as the Thai food ive eaten at this place called Lemon Grass..( location: close to lamcy plaze in dxb) and the prices.. well.. you can just imagine.. !! So .. one down.. i decided.. No goin to Thai kitchen again!!!
Come this week and i decide.im in experiement mood again.. and so i call my friend.. and fix up our experimental dinner date .. this time at Spice Island located at the Renaissance hotel in dxb...
One of our other friends joined us.. and off we went to try and taste exotic food.. ( spice island does sound quite exotic dones it?? )
Ok.. to cut to the chase.. the food was really really good. Its ambience its well done, got the exotic touch, service was more than satisfactory, food was really good.. worth every penny i paid for it.. ( yes, i paid for it.. i felt soo good paying !.. yes imwierd i know!) ...
Food : full of variety... chinese, japanese, mongolian, indian, italian, mexican, salads, soups, desserts ... buffet system.. though i think they do have a set menu option as well...
Price: AED 135 per head.. for buffer minus the alcohol.
I think its a good place to take your frineds/family once ina while.. and an even better place to take collegues or partners ( for meeting purposes etc) ..
Ohh.. the exciting bit of the day.. i drove a Nissan Patrol.. init kool? A woman driving a BIG HUGE NISSAN PATROLLLLLLLL.. i felt so local ( arab local ) .. but well minus the rash driving.. coz i belive im a pretty decent driver.. (if u get rid of the eternal swearing.. as i feel all the darn slow drivers end up rite in front of me.. !!.. DAMN DEM ALL!!)... Driving that car was pretty nice.. a change from my Honda CRV..
The steering steers like butter.. real smooth.. of course a powerful car.. and drives soo smoothhhhhhhh.... no wonder these arabs take them around.. also considering i can do the desert drive.. i need to do that someday.. :) wat say you people? Woman and dessert driving... idea is chique? ahh well wateva...
hmm.. I guess that was all for today....... nothing majorly exciting happening.. and so i shall end the story for the night...
eat well , drink well ( it cud be just water you know!), sleep well..!!
Gnite amigos.. Bon soir... !

Back again... You know what the true deal is with my constant commenting on peoples' blogs? It's like I have no outlet to express my opinion and I like to be heard - lol - and so you get them all on your blogs! :-D
Anyway, yes, must agree on the Lemon Grass (is that two words or one? Can't be bothered to look it up!)... decently priced, and good portions! Though, not a big fan of Thai food in general...too Oriental (and that is not a racist term - I consider myself Oriental!)
Forget THM class and Andalus (though I do want to visit!), certain times in the evening when the light was just right, I considered AUS to be pretty romantic too... :-S
Don't ask!
Also, how'd you get the Nissan Patrol?! A friend of mine had a Range Rover Sport for a weekend - a PR stunt - made me feel like a princess! :-D When am I going to be able to afford one?!!!!
