This restaurant serves the best Lebanese, Muslim Mediterranean food I have ever had. And I know it was the real thing because although it was 3 in the afternoon, every table was full. Most of the diners were also Middle Eastern - fat, bearded men, with black abaya-clad women (who had the most beautiful eyes) and a gaggle of little rascally childen who you wanted to trip when they ran past you, screaming.
We started with freshly made pita bread and a bowl of hummus. The real treat was the lovely green olive oil that they drizzled on it, make every bite an experience!
Then the mains arrived.
The most impressive one of course was Ridwan's lamb sizzler, which was.. well.. sizzling. But the other dishes were great too, chicken briyani, lamb chops and my sambosas. The only one that was not a hit was Ashley's Moussaka, but that'll teach her to come to a Med restaurant and order the only vegetarian dish they have. "slaps head in despair*
Once done with lunch, we headed for the Petronas Towers to do the tourist thing. We took the little monorail system that they have, which is sorta like our LRT, except theirs got driver.
KLCC is alot like City Hall. A lot of big brand shops like Zara and *bleurghs* Charles and Keith, not enough interesting rustic things to see. So while the rest went off to take pics with the Twin Towers, I decided to go to the Petronas Gallery, which gives you a pretty good history lesson, and to have something u can't get in Singapore anymore - A&W rootbeer float and Dunkin Donut.
And then while the rest of them went to Petaling Street to buy pirated (or "local") whatevers, I went back to the nice comfortable room at the Hotel Allson Genesis, strip down to my underwear and... slept.
More later.
