Meats and Sweets

Today was spectacular. Well, after school was spectacular, not during. We didn't have Contact Time (Yippee!) but we were told to organise our own interest groups. A colleague and I needed to head down to the Concourse to get some traditional games for RHD and the rest of them wanted to eat. So I suggested for us to make our way to Arab Street since I had plans to go to the Concourse. We coined that, our "Learning More About Arab Culture" interest group. Yea. We are so full of it!!

I absolutely love this place, Amirah's Grill. They know how to prepare their meats. Every meat dish served has been absolutely delicious and the portions are sufficient to fill you up, but not too much. I love their lamb dishes the best but I would avoid the saffron rice. If you're a meat-lover like I am, you must go to this joint.

Not sure if you can see from the pic, but this place is also Egyptian-themed! And Nefertiti is on the entrance as well as on their business cards!! Mere coincidence that I absolutely love this place! True story.

For dessert, I took my colleagues 2 shops down the row for some good old-fashioned baklava and apple tea. I love the ambience and the decor at Alaturka. That was THE life that we were having right at that moment and I'm glad they enjoyed the places I recommended. It's totally an Indian thing to want to feed and satisfy the masses!

I never tried any of their main dishes as I solely reserved this spot for my desserts. Amanda was hungry so we shared a dish. This minced lamb and beef with Turkish bread was extremely delicious. It was like chomping into a really well-herbed hamburger. It made me recall the scene from HIMYM where Marshall was on the search for the Best Burger in New York. As I was savouring each bite, I felt as if everything about me was in slow motion. Another true story.

So there you have it. A very satisfied bunch of women who love their meats and sweets.
