Dandydish

In my post a couple of months ago, I had mentioned how much in love I am with Al nakheel located at the corniche. ( http://dandydish.blogspot.com/2011/06/long-absence-from-my-last-post-is.html ) Well, yesterday was an extended new version of this love. Red Sea mall was the venue. Wife and me visit this place once every fortnight on Tuesdays for some social commitment. Most of the time we end up having dinner in the food court here as we are usually short on time. Yesterday we reached this place a bit early and had time to kill. During our previous visits to this place, we had seen that Al Nakheel had opened an outlet here by the name Ara'es Al Nakheel but we never really ventured out there.

Once inside what struck us most was the chic decor. Very contemporary. Very stylish. We decide

It has been an awfully long time. I mean really long. The holy month of ramadan meant that I could not eat out as frequently as I would have liked to. Add to the fact that the wife thinks I need to lose weight, I mean a lot of weight. So its not been all happy happy eating out in Foodsville. However, every dark could has a silver lining. In my case this was our Eid trip to the beautiful wonderful Istanbul. Below is just a teaser. The real post will follow soon. The quintessential drink in Turkey. Watch this space!!
