It's No Eyed Deer, my dear!

I think anyone who dines at this place would definitely get sucked into a world of puns due to the name of this eatery. I've seen this restaurant ever since it was established (can I make a wild guess and say ~10 years?)..have always seen it around but never been to it although I lived a stone's throw away from it. So for Summer's birthday, we decided to have it at No Eyed Deer :) The service is good - Ken (I guess he's Mr.Owner) is very warm and accommodating. We brought a birthday cake and he was nice enough to keep it for us in the kitchen until it was time to bring it out. The orders are taken in a very informal way and it will make you feel relaxed and comfortable. Thanks, Ken ;) Corkage is RM10 per bottle, which is very fair. I didn't get the chance to take the sign board - it's pretty cute, so enjoy the interior as well as the meals that we had that day :) Chicken Kebabs - It was very good!

Tarbush - A Lebanese Cuisine Experience

We brought our parents out to Batu Feringhi to celebrate Mothers' Day. We went to a Lebanese Restaurant called Tarbush. Carmel inviting you in.. I love the centrepiece light..the Islamic influence is seen in this architecture.. beautiful The menu Pickles to go along your bread and dip Eggplant-Cheese with lamb dip - I forgot what it was called! Very rich, and the eggplant/goat cheese leaves a somewhat bitter aftertaste. Or maybe it was the olive oil! Nonetheless, it went well with the bread. Mix Grill - Lamb cubes, shish kebab, lamb cutlet and some other lamb thing with cheese paste (?) These were reaaaallly good~! =D Arabian Mint Tea - Good :) Mosaic on the table top Finally..A ball of butterfly..isn't it beautiful? Our table ceiling light :) For more information: Tarbush

Come read with me - May

Image
Yes I made the deadline!! Just about completed reading my book for May. I was quite tied up with work and a project I was working on in May. I read Book 1 of the Kane Chronicles . It is written by the amazing Rick Riordan ; the author of the Percy Jackson series and Heroes of Olympus . Kane Chronicles - The Red Pyramid (1st book of out 3) focuses on 2 siblings who are on a quest to rescue their father who mysteriously disappears in a web of spells, magic and Egyptian Gods. The book is pretty light to read, but sometimes I do get a little confused with all the names of the Egyptian Gods. It does pose as a good introductory for Egyptian Gods 101 ;) Sadie & Kane (the siblings) go off on an adventure that they did not bargain for and they are forced to undergo certain obstacles and a big dilemma is placed on their plate: Save their father or save the world? Read the book to find out. It's wonderfully filled with wit, humour and adventure. It has the right amount of sarcasm
