Or what is left of it lah! Lamb and chicken. Very nice .... there were two types of rice. Briani like...There are different ways of cooking the lamb either underground or grilled. We had it grilled and it was not so good it seems. A bit on the tough side. But we were filled up so maybe another trip.
They served it with roti naan and these really delicious samosa's! But how can we eat so much rice and have bread too. So we didn't eat the bread. We also didn't have any dessert although the dessert bar looked really enticing.
See how we hungry we were, we all grabbed and ate so fast!
The men had their own tray which I must say is much too huge. The women, there were five or six of us, couldn't finish our share. We kept on piling our rice into their tray.In this lower picture, we were waiting anxiously for the food. We left the mosque after isyak and waited at the hotel before we went for dinner so by the time we are it was like 10.30pm. And we were all sooo sleepy.
Oh ya! Forgot to start with where this is! Bob has a friend in Mekah and he took us to this restaurant where they serve you on a "talam" (tray). The Sunnah says it is encouraged to eat together to build ties ...mengeratkan silaturahim. I forgot the name of the restaurant but it is still in the tanah haram area, about 15 minutes from the mosque.
Also, not all restaurants have dining areas for women and family. Most restaurants cater to the men only so if you feel like eating out, your husband has to take away lah. Even some of the fast food restaurants have separate lines for men and women to queue.
This was taken on our journey into Mekah. On the way to Mekah from Medina, we stopped at this restaurant where we ate from the tary too. The difference between this restaurant and the one in Mekah is that they served us fried fish.
The fish was really crispy but the bone of the fish was blue! I wonder why ....
They had tables of course but we opted to sit on the floor as it was more comfy and convenient with Ali running all over the place.
No vege is served but instead onions (raw) and green chilli which is really hot. Must be a different species from ours here in Malaysia. The rice is really soft and fluffy. I must say it was a good meal .... out in the dessert.

It has numerous flavours and is RM2 for cup or cone. There is also gourmet ice cream MOvenpick. Sedap and creamy!!!! Yummy .....
