Well, not exactly Ariabian knight, but an Arabian cuisine night. Not long ago, I went to have these at Wadi Al Nile with Smallkucing’s family as well as our new blogger friend, Angel Bear.
Arabian mint tea.
The tea was nice and refreshing.
For starters, Paparazzi ordered hummus. Hummus is a is a Levantine Arabian dip or spread made from cooked, mashed chickpeas, blended with tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and garlic. It is a popular food throughout the Middle East.
Gigantic Mulawah bread for just Rm4 to go with the Hummus. The bread is similar with our own roti canai or roti prata, except that it’s way bigger, flatter, crispier and is usually sprinkled with black sesame seeds. And instead of having it with spicy curry, the Arabians usually eat Mulawah bread with hummus, or potato stew.
Two scoops of ice cream with cherry on top each for the kids.
As usual, I go for my favourite Kabsa chicken rice.
My rice comes with tomatoey potato stew as well as special made chilli sauce. My boy loved the potato stew very much that he couldn’t help but asked for extra from his Auntie Mamarazzi. >.<
I had sparkling fruit drink known as Fayrouz. It was really nice. I liked the taste very much.
Angel Bear on the other hand, had Kabsa rice with lamb. Huge portion too. And just look at the generous chunks of lamb. She said it was nice and had no lamb smell whatsoever.
Mamarazzi ordered Mandi/Mandy Rice with grilled lemon flavoured chicken. To her surprise…the portion was really huge. And it’s enough for 4 full grown adults to eat!
Check out the size~! It’s so huge, and just for Rm15! I nearly faint when i saw it.
There was also Lamb Akhdah, an Arabic dish where lamb are cooked in tomatoey sauce and spices as well as sliced potatoes. It was really yummy. It’s one of my favourite that night, and would definitely order this again next time.
We had Banana Masoob for dessert. Masoob is a traditional Hijazi Dish and is basically bananas, (sometimes dates) and ground bread all mashed up together, served with honey. It’s a very nice dessert, and the portion was very, very huge too.
Drooling and wanna try some Arabic cuisine for a change? Well maybe you can give this restaurant a try.

I never had this ‘food scare’ until I saw the portions at this place….mamarazi’s pinggan alone can put smallkucing sit in it…

This one is Half portion…i wonder how BIG the portion will be if I order “Family Plate” or 1 Chicken. Who is game to try?
I saw kucing’s post on this. Been eyeing all those mid-eastern restaurants along bukit bintang, hoping to try…but never managed to get down to it. 🙁
Yes, yes… the big kakak posted on this earlier on…lol… she’s way faster than me. LOL. Maybe u shud give it a try one day… most of their food are nice…but not spicy…so in some ways, I liked it more than Indian food cuz anak can take. Be forewarned, tho… their standard serving usually are very big!
These big portions reminded me of Sri Murni in PJ? all came in giant size too!
Ooo… not sure ah, Claire… but these are very huge! Shocked all of us when it arrived.
wow look at those humungous portions!!!!!
It’s definitely huge, can feed an army!
