Lebanese food's Awesome!

For some strange reason, my blogger page has been looking really odd and screwed up. I cant find my post pictures and insert html buttons anymore :(

Went to Kazbar Restaurant for a Lebanese Dinner and it was awesome. It was one of those small quaint pub- restuarants lining the road between Cuppage Plaza and Centrepoint. It wasnt too crowded, so def a nice place to chill with friends. The interior was done with some psuedo- authentic middle eastern decor. The waiter who served us was attentive and friendly, and nice enough to allow us to a cute little booth complete with drapery, even though it was just a small crowd of 3.
And come 9pm, there came a belly dancer (we eventually learnt that she's actually pure jap) who gyrated really vigorously at each table. Interesting way of drawing customers in.

Erns and I chose the place for its ambience (its nice and dark enough for hanky panky, if you are thinking of somewhere to bring your other half), but the food was def the highlight. It wasnt what one would call cheap but the portions were relatively generous.

We had humous platter for starters, and it was good- the pita was soft and nice to chew on, and the humous was smooth, yummy and not too salty. The platter came with some special potato pastry thing (abit like the fried Malay Potato balls, just more ... crispy and exquisite) and cheese spring rolls, both which were delightful.

Our 2 main dishes were Chicken kebabs and shish with cous cous & Dory fillet with brown rice. Both were enjoyable, and tasted quite like the real deal to me. Surprisingly, i liked the cous cous (which i normally avoid), even though I did prefer the fish dish. Its brown rice tasted a little like the yam rice that normally comes with duck rice, just better cos its more fragrant (and healthier!). The dory was gratifying, tender and quite fresh (no fishy smell!). Plus i loved the sauce that came with it.

Erns and Dj both had blueberry mojito as well, and i have to say it was pretty good. Better than the lime thingy I had at Howl at the Moon. But no one really goes to Howl for good drinks right- everyone's there are the awesome atmosphere, wacky jokes, great band ... and of course free champagne on ladies night hehehe.
