Qatar Airways In-flight Meals

What do you normally do when you travel for long hours in a boring flight? As for me, I will probably spend long hours playing all  my iPhone games or enjoying the in-flight entertainment (especially when my morphie juice drains out). Sleeping is really not my cup of tea but sometimes I do enjoy listening to orchestra from snoring sound during the pin drop silence moment in flight.

Ohh, one thing that really makes me excited is the feeding time. In long flight, I will  hope for a decent food or it will definitely ruin my journey. How do the airlines expect their hungry passengers to be happy passengers, right? Before take off, the air stewardess will normally serves a glass of drink of your choice with a menu for you to select for.

During the recent flight from Doha to Singapore, I got to enjoy some ala arabic food.. or I would say more or less like  asian + middle eastern food. These are what I ordered …

Thai Beef and Glass Noodle Salad – with salad and some raw fish and pitta bread. The plain water taste like plain water although it is Evian :S

Lamb Biryani with Arabic Dakous Sauce .. this one is really a thumb up!  hmm.. I would prefer more fried onion tho..

Passenger at my side which happen to be my Mom chose this, Chicken Picatta with Lemon and Sage Scented Jus with Steam potatoes and witted spinach. Quite a mouthful when you order it but apparently it tasted better than it looks..:P

I suppose to get a cheese plate but I don’t know what happen to it but this Sweet Finale – Caramel Pudding taste good too! I love the caramel..

Last but not least, a dinky box of my fav. Godiva Chocolatier..

Did you see it yet? I embeded some tips in this post. If you want to go on anti-diet, travel as frequent as humanly possible. With that, I am sure in six months time, you will be fat ..I mean sexy like me.. :P

Famous Azeri Food

Walking around the city of wind, led me to this place, not far from Maiden Tower where I can try all Famous Azeri Food. Speaking of Maiden Tower and City of Wind, you must be wondering where am I and what I am talking about.

I was at Baku, Azerbaijan and I am here to enjoy most of the local delicacies. It is kind of hard to explain the geographical location of this place but I know it is situated beside Caspian Sea. Anyway, I guess in future post, I should write less and put more pictures. With that, I am sure I can share most of my travel photos and besides, words makes people sleep? Let’s try with this post first..

White Cheese, Goat Cheese and Salty Cheese

Azerbaijani Dolma

Azerbaijani Brinjal Chutney

Azeri Mimosa (not so sure :P )

Qutab (this one macam chapati abit .. hehe)

Various Meat Kebab

Fruits Basket, Fruits Pickles, Vegetables Salad, Preserved Meat, Raw Meat and Khalva drinks

Now you tell me, isn’t it challenging for me to maintain my weight? Don’t be surprise if you see fat TikkoSS walking around next time.. :P

In Room Dining – Shangri-la Hotel

If you read my post on Shangri-la Pudong, Shanghai, you will probably realize that I have a lot of nostalgic moments in this hotel.

Nothing can embrace my memories except carving the good one on stones and not so good one on sands so that the waves can help to flush them away.

Another way to do it, is to feed my stomach well first and start reflecting later. One way to do it is by ordering decent dinner just for myself in my own quiet room.

The trick is, you have to either order food that you crave for or food that you love. This time I go for potatoes wedges and salad as starter. Now, I can sense that my memory puzzles start to align on its own.

To speed up my thought process, I have to go for wanton noodles soup with mushroom and char siew. As a pork lover, I have to say char siew really helps in merging my brain cells together.

At this stage, I felt like as if I already travelled back through time to meet with my loves one, my family, probably about 20 years back.

To avoid myself from waking up from this hypnotic moment, I have to continue feeding my stomach with Sirloin Steak and strawberry milkshake. Or stomach growling will definitely creates distractions.

I recalled, my dad gave me my first present, my mom and sis too. How mesmerizing. I remembered we used to have a lot of fun time together and thanks to decent food, it helps to blend a good chemistry between my present and past.

The sweet moment was really short and I woke up straight away after I got slapped with the dinner bill. It costs me RMB 495?? That is approximately RM 250???

After this meal, I have to probably eat instant noodles for another week. Worth it or not, why not you tell me.?

Watami – Japanese Casual Restaurant

Someone told me that Japanese food is one of the healthiest cuisines known to man? When comes to sushi or sashimi, most of it is not cook.

I wonder how healthy it can be when pollutions happen in just about every corner of the earth but hey, not all Japanese food is served raw.

Because of the word “healthy”, Japanese food can be found in almost every place that I have been so far. No exception to Shanghai.

Not long before this, I spent a lunch in Watami – Japanese Casual Restaurant located inside the Super Brand Mall. If you don’t like raw food and your partner does, here is the right place for both of you.

As suggested by the restaurant name, I ordered something casual. As a start, I ordered garden salad and tofu with bento. The salad is nothing unusual, just few leaves and thousand island sauces.

The tofu, on the other hand, tastes good. I know, tofu is tasteless, but this one, is different. The combination of bento and soy sauce just make it perfect.

This restaurant also serves finger food. In this case, I went for deep fried chicken cutlets and fries. As for this, I really have no clue why Japanese restaurant serves French fries?

With a dip in Thai chili sauce, the chicken cutlets can be really nice.  See, so far all are cooked dishes except the green salad.

Oh yea.. I still cannot resist myself from sashimi rice and a glass of fruit juice. N Udon. N Miso soup too.. hehe.. It seems incomplete if all these are not served on my table.

This time I paid for RMB 124 (~RM 62) and I consider this affordable. Ohh, the restaurant is just few shops away from Long Feng Dim Sum. If you are there, might as well try out for this one too.

Levain Boulangerie & Patisserie

Girls are very unique creatures. They might appear soft and gentle but deep inside, they have hearts of diamond. Nothing can melt their heart unless they open up for you.

You can try with 100 different languages to tell them how much she meant to you or a simple “I love you”, the girl will probably respond. Ohh ok and that’s it. Using romance language such as Italian language might put you slightly on the upper hand.

What if you know nothing about 100 languages or any romance language? Er..maybe you can start goggling available monastery just incase you need it.

Nah.. I am just kidding.. hehe.. Alternatively, read TikkoSS’s blog and you will know what to do. You can bring your crush to this Italian restaurant, Levain Boulangerie & Patisserie. This place is stunningly decorated. Not sure if it considers as romantic place but girls just love it.

Be slightly sensitive. Some girls are on diet so salad is the best starter. Don’t forget to include a chocolate drink too. That will make them happy and it works most of the time.

Buy yourself some bread and tell them this “I wanted to ask you out for a nice meal together and I have been eating bread since two weeks ago. Just to save up a little so that we can enjoy together.”

Fooyoh.. she will surely melt a little :P

Sometime you deal with big eater and bigger size. Love is so called “blind” and I will not go in details on that part. Don’t fret, this restaurant do serves nice Italian spaghetti too. Order 3 straight away and she will like you more!

Many girls are looking forward men that are capable enough to feed them. I bet this will be the best example to show that you are indeed the right one :P

Beside salad, bread, spaghetti and pasta, you can get delicious Italian chocolate. Not only that, you can get Macaroon here too. It only cost about RM 3.60 per piece. Yea yea yea, the macaroon a bit expensive but it compensated with yummie food. Try and you know what I meant!

Rojak – Malaysian Fruit Salad

Most of us will think about salad when thinking about dieting. Is it a healthy food? Considering salad consists of vegetables and fruits, yes but the dressing, I don’t think so.

Western has their very own salad and so do we, the Malaysian. It is called Rojak – fruit salad with prawn paste n sweet sauce. Main ingredients are fruits and they are cucumber, mango, pineapple, papaya, sengkuang. Some even include yau char keoy and prawn crackers.

There is one mobile hawker stall sells very delicious rojak. The best so far that I have tasted. It is located in Taman Tanming Jaya, 10 min drive from Mines Wonderland. The mobile stall only operates every Monday from 12-3pm only. I can tell you, the stall always crowded with people and the owner is making good money.
