Well, well, well it's Friday once again and it's weekend for the Middle Eastern countries. I noticed that when its weekend, it is usually time for feasts. I am talking about the emirati population. For more than 4 years of living and staying here in UAE, mostly inside the hospital whenever I am on duty, after seeing and witnessing lots of emarati tradition, I can say that they really love feasts.....be it inside the hospital, in the hospital gardens or inside the patients room ( oh yes! that is so true!).
I can still remember my first few weeks here in UAE, that there were times I spent my whole day explaining ( or shall I say arguing...hmmm sounds nontherapeutic hahaha) with the family and visitors about the visiting policy. Oh I'm telling you, when they visit their sick relatives or even friends, they will bring their carpets, tea & coffee pots with tsai ang gahwa and of course, bowls of food and sweets.
It was about three months when I finally told myself..."enough Misalyn! Don't stress yourself" though there were times that I couldn't help but explain again and again and again..blah..blah..blah...until I get used to it. Khalas! I just ignored it.
Enough of that stories...well, since today is friday and I am craving for something to munch, and so unlucky that it is wee hours, I will stare at these photos and try to imagine how delicious is it( I ate some steak and shrimps and hubby ate the salmon and shrimps last week at Chilis Resto ).
grilled steak (well done) and shrimps with sauted vegetable, garlic bread and mashed potato

Come on let us imagine together (while sniffing some lettuce huhuhu...sounds familiar???)...so yummmmyyyy!!
