Coffee anyone?

I am a sucker for coffee, but am equally fussy about it. Just any coffee wont do, I have my own list of do's and dont's and stick to it like how fevicol sticks to wood.

I may not be the biggest fan of arabic coffee ( Gahva arabia), but we do get a regular supply of the same at work, thanks to some dedicated colleagues who took it upon themselves to make sure that there is a steadfast supply of the same at work. However one of the local guy ( and a fun one at that) went one step ahead and got us waffle cups with chocolate lining to enjoy this drink. This is how the end product looked and was really really nice. Thanks M for adding chear to an otherwise dull day.

Cheers!

Arabian Nights.

The long absence from my last post is attributed to the summer here in Jeddah. It has started. It is getting really hot here, so much so that we have been avoiding stepping out most of the week. But finally we decided to venture out as I felt a part of my life missing without being able to taste some of the wonders that Jeddah restaurants have to offer and to be able to post it on the blog. So 4 of us decided that we needed some local flavor to soothe our systems and the unanimous choice was Montazah Al Nakheel (Palm gardens) located along the Jeddah cornice. We were introduced to this place by our Saudi friends in Jeddah, a wonderful couple who appreciate the finer things in life. From the first time we were there, we have been going there at least once every fortnight. Nakheel is basically an outdoor restaurant and a huge one at that. Going by the crowds that gather here every evening, I presume that this is indeed one of the most popular joints in and around this area. The food the...

Maharaja East by Vineet

Image
Maharaja, translated in to english, means the Great King. And so when Maharaja by Vineet opened its doors in Saudi a long time back, I was really looking forward to a feast. Well, it was operational in Khobar and Riyadh, both significantly far from Jeddah, so it had to wait. The restaurant is the brainchild of Vineet Bhatia, a Michelin star chef. It is making waves in every location it has opened. So I had to try it out. On my last visit to Riyadh, this dream was fulfilled. A few colleagues from work ( 7 to be precise) headed to this place for dinner on a working weekday. Nestled in a fairly quite location just across the main Tahlia street in Riyadh, this place was failry easy to locate on the map. We called ahead and made a booking, but upon arrival noticed that although the place was occupied, it was not necessarily overflowing with patrons. The decor was minimalist yet chic, in line with the many fine dining options now available in homeland India. The menu looked...

Section- B

The place is a no nonsense affair, it just promises good Burgers. And boy, are they good!! Section-B opened sometime back in Jeddah and going by the number of people that que up during the opening hours at 1.00 pm, you know it is a raging success. And yes, they work only 4 days in a week, from Wednesday to Saturday, 1.00 pm to 4.00 pm for lunch and 6.30 pm to 11.30 pm for dinner. The story of their origin in interesting. 6 friends got together and took 9 months, just to come up with the perfect recipe for their burger with the help of their chef. If this is not love, tell me what is!! The diner itself is casual and chic. Service is quick and you can see a lot of friendly smiles all around. Their menu is simple and straightforward. They offer 3 burgers. The "B" and "B-mini"which are Angus beef patties and the 'C" which is a fried chicken patty. There are 7 additional toppings to choose from and 3 sides. Thats all. But dont get fooled by the small ...
