Stomach Connection


KEBAB
 
kaPza & other arabian food

One of the best things about living in Saudi Arabia is a variety of restaurants and fastfood outlets available. You may have a kitchen in your home but you really never to use it unless you particularly like cooking.  In Dammam area, AL Khobar and Dharhan have a variety of restaurants to suit all your budgets, almost all of them offering take-away and or home delivery. From a humble shawarma or falefel sandwich, through international chain of burgers and chicken, to tasty Thai and Indian cuisine, to ever delicious Filipino food and of course to a very popular Arabian food, Kapsa and Kebab and I'm sure you  can find all it here in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia whatever you fancy.

In most cities here in the Kingdom, there are specific areas where restaurants are clumped together. You may have many choices to choose from, it depends upon your taste. As always it's a matter of opinion. But, for a Filipino nature (like me), if we sees restaurant that is full, it must be good. And take note, Filipino restaurants here are always full and not only my KABABAYANS loved to eat PAPAITAN, PAKBIT, PUTO, KUTSINTA etc. but other nationalities as well. I remember one time when I and my friends plan to eat at the KABAYAN restaurant in Khobar, large number of people queues just to full their stomach for lunch. Gosh, we moved to Jollibee outlet inside Al Ramaniyah Mall but it seems more and more people desperately waiting for available tables. Many reasons why Filipino foods and restaurants are the first choice to everyone ravenous stomach, fisrt the quality of food and the unwaivering service, cleanliness and of course the budget. We decided to to have lunch at the Native Arabian Restaurant (no choice, gutom na kasi). Upon arrival of a sit-down restaurant, you will be asked if you would like some Saudi champagne. This is of course not champagne, but a fruit pinch consisting of apple juice and perrier which you might think a "free welcome drink" hahahahah but later it will be added to your bill at an exorbitant rate. Just a reminder, ASK HOW MUCH BEFORE SAYING YES else you will pay extra bucks as what I did.
