  • Ocean Basket in Jeddah – a review

    IMG_4693

    EATING is one of the common denominator we have in our group of friends. We enjoyed walking and at the same time we also enjoyed eating. Which one is more enjoyable? hmmm…I guess it’s the company that counts rather than the activities 🙂

    We celebrated my friends’ 59th birthday at Ocean Basket in Khaledeyyah Business Centre at Sultan Street Jeddah. I thought it was a Chinese restaurant but after searching it from the web, I learned it’s a South African chain famous for fish and chips. We got interested and tried it last night.

    The place is cozy in a relaxed atmosphere. The staffs are mostly Filipinos and very friendly.IMG_4683

    Starter dish, oh I forgot to get the price list anyhow..this is good news, if you have Qitaff points from STC, this restaurant accepts and we were able to get a discount of SR 148.00. What a treat!

    Main dishes …a seafood platter, a choice of either fried or grilled. Yummy and fresh! We love it!

    side dishes sushi and sashimi

    Of course, they entertained us with birthday lava cake with the singing waiters at the background 🙂 …What a great way to celebrate!

    after dinner, we went to have coffee and ice cream, I told you so ..WE LOVE TO EAT 🙂

    Happy Birthday 🙂 🙂 🙂

    Cheers,

    Jamilamimi

    Two days before Eid holiday, my friends and I decided to have a little escapades to places we haven’t been and one that caught our attention was a small coffee shop going along the corniche side.

    At first, when we read the sign “Cook shop” we thought that it’s a place like “shabu shabu” but coffee shop and shabu-shabu??  hmm doesn’t really matched!

    So we get in, the place is simple but cozy, staff were friendly and the food were serve fast and tasty too!

  • When Ruby becomes Thursday with friends…

    Ruby Tuesday

    It is always good to see old friends , not old beyond fifty, I mean friends that I haven’t seen for a while. We had late lunch at Ruby Tuesday in Thalia St. the ambiance is just perfect for us.

    They have a lot of  good menu but we’re not interested actually of what are we going to eat, were just happy to see each other again, just us…, without a husband…though the 2kevs (my youngest and my friend’s son) tag along, they have their own table and world of their own (as usual).

    We spent the afternoon, catching up of the past things and latest news that’s happening to our everyday’s life. Sophie is working in UK and comes back to Jeddah every six months to see her family and Jo and I are both  in Jeddah but she is busy with her kids and helping her husband to run their small business and me?I am busy with my world too (home-kids-clinic-home). Some of our friends are still on holiday, lucky them!

    Friends makes your life better,especially  in this place, socialization is a key to make your day if not your week a pleasant experience.

    Researchers are only now starting to pay attention to the importance of friendship and social networks in overall health. A 10-year Australian study found that older people with a large circle of friends were 22 percent less likely to die during the study period than those with fewer friends. A large 2007 study showed an increase of nearly 60 percent in the risk for obesityamong people whose friends gained weight. And last year, Harvard researchers reported that strong social ties could promote brain health as we age.

    huh! research or no research, everyone knows how going out with friends relieves some of your stresses in life.

  • Celebrating 56 at Bamboo Seafood Resto

    Bamboo Seafood Restaurant

    May 27, 2011, is my favorite brother’s b-day. We celebrated his 56th year in Bamboo seafood restaurant in Al Rawdah district Jeddah,KSA. We been passing in this area a thousand times, wondering what’s in this huge lobster building?I was not able to taste the lobster in Boston ,Ma., so i said this is it!

    Lobster in Jeddah. whoah! the price is soaring high! probably,I may have indigestion at the end. So we discarded the idea!

    great interior…refreshing too!

    The place is cozy, the walls are decorated with bamboo, there’s privacy in each family , each partition  separated by real bamboo decor, though i was asking… a grape fruit on bamboo? hmmm, the sounds of water from the man-made waterfalls makes the place more refreshing, the waiters are polite and has smiling faces.

    The foods are not bad, it taste good but the service is slow.

    It might be because …its Friday, the place is packed with families.

    Some tips… when they serve the appetizer make sure you order your main dish already and

    when the main dish just serve, ask for your bill too 🙂 otherwise the waiting period is so long, unless you just want to hang around.

    Oh well, it’s a great Friday with my sons, brothers,nephew and his wife.

    Happy b-day Kel,

    WE LOVE YOU!
