Rendezvous

Only three days left for new years and I am sitting here on my couch in my pyjamees contemplating how quickly time just flies. I have done a lot of things this year than I have ever done in my life. Been to places, met new people and had new experiences and most importantly - had great food!

For Christmas this year, more than anything else I wanted to go on a dinner date with hubby. I picked Rendezvous in Seef Mall, Bahrain. The last time I went there was a year ago and I totally enjoyed their delicious buffet. I liked almost everything in their spread and ate until I couldn't anymore. So on Christmas eve we dressed up for our first ever date in Bahrain and drove off to Seef Mall.

I expected the place to be fairly busy but it wasn't. We occupied a table for two and decided to attack the food without wasting time. There was everything - chicken, beef, shrimps, mutton, veg, noodles, and so on. The food this time was average compared to the last time I visited this place. The menu was almost the same but taste wise, it was very average. Good thing hubby and I were hungry. You don't judge food as much when you're hungry, you eat what you get. So we piled our plates with food not caring whether we're mixing all favours and ate till our stomachs were full.




There's always place for dessert no matter how full you are so after a short chat session we got ourselves a plate each of all the mini colourful desserts. I was actually searching for warn chocolate brownie with icecream which I had last time. But that's out of the menu now - bummer.  But they were quite good I must say.



FINAL VERDICT: It was average. The ambience was nice but I really expected better tasting food. So being a foodie myself, I wouldn't go back there unless they decide to step up their flavours. 

Rating: 3.5/5

Bill Breakdown: 
Buffet - BD.6/- (per head) x 2 
Soft Drinks - BD.3/-
Total: BD.15/-

So that's what it was, I gotta go now. Advance New Year wishes to all of you and your families.

Breakfast Pancakes

And finally after a super long break I'm back to blogging and I am so happy about it. A lot of things happened during the past 1 year.. infact life has completely changed. I'll tell you all about it in another post. For now let's stick to the recipe in this space. Off late I developed a liking towards pancakes for breakfast. So quick and easy to prepare and they taste so so good. Hubby likes them as much as I do! The best part is, these don't have eggs or butter in them ! A guilt-free breakfast especially if you are controlling your intake of fat and want something light in the mornings. So here's how you make them. Ingredients: 1 cup All purpose flour 3 tbsp Sugar 3/4 tsp Baking powder Pinch of Salt 1 tsp Vanilla Essence 1 cup full-fat milk 3 tbsp Oil Water (as needed) Method: 1. In a medium sized bowl, whisk all the dry ingredients. In another bowl, whisk all the wet ingredients and slowly keep adding to the dry ingredients whil...

1st Anniversary and Gearing up for Christmas 2017!

So the Christmas season is finally here! This year has been quite eventful and full of new experiences. I am so grateful for every single day of this year.  I've not really planned anything big because whenever I plan, it usually never happens. But I've called some friends over this weekend to kick start the celebrations and get into the festive mood. We had a mini barbecue party and then a long drive to one of my friend's camp in the desert. We were up until 5 AM! The barbecue took a while as this was our very first time doing it but the end result was yum, thanks to hubby - he came up with the marination recipe. Here are some pictures: There are 2 highlights of this month. One is that I got my driving license. I can't begin to tell you how happy and proud I am of myself for getting it. It was definitely not an easy task but I managed to do it. Now I can move around the island and explore and I don't have to depend on anyone to get me from A to B. Like ...
