A couple of nights ago we attended a small farewell dinner party for
our friend and his family. They weren't moving very far actually - Besut. It was at an Arab restaurant at Gong Badak (El Edrus). The menu
was naturally 'nasi mandy' (or whatever 'mandy' - with chicken and mutton) I bet people always
imagine that it’s something to do with a bath ('mandi' being 'bathe' in Malay – I do, anyway..) The meal was not bad... but I couldn’t eat that much as
usual as night time is not meal time for me. And even the others couldn't manage
to finish and we had to pack the leftovers to take home. Arab restaurants seem
to have sprung up (err..reminds me of Arab Spring..but hmm..that’s another
entry..) like wild mushrooms in Malaysia. Even in Kuala Terengganu – way out of the way
from KL, is no exception. But I supposed it’s the quality that matters. Like our
friend, Kak Pah, an Arab descendent; she didn’t care much for the food, said the
rice not soft enough.. and frankly you may not want to order 2 servings if
there’re 2 of you eating because one serving is way..too much, for the hubby and I anyway. Well, here're some pictures of the dinner:
