1 month in ME

Time really flies so fast, imagine few more days and I’m on my 1st month here. Konti na lang uuwi na ulit ako sa Pinas. I cannot wait…excited na naman ako, I miss hubz and I miss my parents and siblings and my niece.  I am counting the days again…..

So in my one month stay, I had adjusted somehow….the weather here is getting better, the temperature is slowly dropping ,  they say winter in nearly coming.   About the food naman here in Doha,  I seldom cook because the serving here is good for 2 people. So we usually buy food and bring it home. One meal cost around 15 riyals (175 Php).  I dont really miss pinoy food because there are lots of pinoy resto here. During lunchtime, we eat in this pinoy restaurant. Their menu are filipino dishes like nilagang baka, bulalo, chopsuey, bangsilog, longsilog at kung anu ano pa. Wala nga lang pork…so sa Manila na ko mag sisinigang na pork. 

Hindi ko rin namiss si Jollibee…

Hi Jollibee.

 Jollibee opens its first store at the Al Meera Consumer Goods Mall in Doha. Accodring to some of my friends who lives here, when Jollibee newly open last year, there were large crowd inside the and long queue outside the restaurant.  One of my friend waited 3 months before she visited Jollibee because she was avoiding the long queue.

 By the way, there’s also a chowking store here but haven’t tried it yet.  I am not sure if I’ll try it after my bad chowking experience in Pinas (my phobia, hehehe)

Here is my serving of chicken and fiesta palabok  with drinks for 15 riyals (around 175php)…..yummy. The serving is very Filipino (except for the lemon instead of calamansi which is not available daw in this country). It was just enough compared sa serving ng regular resto here. This time no sharing for us. Namiss ko yata si Jollibee.

Since we are talking about food….let me share pics of our take-away dinner the other night…

 Beef Sisig. The photo above doesn’t give justice to how the food taste but I tell you, mas masarap pa sya sa natikamn ko sa Pinas. This is just a single serving by the way but  it is a big one and  it’ s good for 3 people.

We also had Fried Chicken Biryani

Fried Chicken Biryani.

I first tried Biryani in Melbourne. I got hooked the first time I tried it. Kaya I am  happy that Biryani is almost in every menu of most resto here.  Biryani according to wikipedia is  is a set of rice-based foods made with spices, rice (usually basmati) and meat, fish, eggs or vegetables. The name is derived from the Persian word beryā  which means “fried” or “roasted”.

Again, that serving of Biryani is just a single serving but I tell you, it’s huge that 3 of us shared.

Hay pano kaya ko mag didiet kung ganito hehehe.

Have a splendid week everyone. Kami dito malapit na mag weekend
