QAT: Tea Time

February 27, 2019

Having a quick lunch, not tea time at Tea Time~ If you're looking for a place to have a piece of cake and tea, you can only get the latter at Tea Time. It's actually a brand of fast food eateries that has been around since 2002, offering quite a huge variety of burgers and sandwiches. I dropped by the conspicuous branch at Souq Waqif for lunch.

Sweet and/or savoury 'chapati' for you? If you're looking for a place to grab a bite, a drink or both while exploring Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, look no further than Chapati & Karak.

{QAT - Qatar: Doha} Buffet Middle Eastern Western

Virgin experience with 'za'atar'! For our stay in Doha, Qatar, my BFF and I booked a room at The Royal Riviera Hotel (4*) that didn't come with buffet breakfast. On one of the days, we decided to give it a try, paying QAR 50.00 (~ S$18.55) each. Read further to see whether it was worth the money.

{QAT - Qatar: Doha} Middle Eastern

First time having Yemeni cuisine! Going to war-torn Yemen for leisure is out of the question at the moment, though I'm really praying for peace to return to the country soon. I had the opportunity to try Yemeni cuisine at Bandar Aden Restaurant, which is situated within the Souq Waqif area in Doha, Qatar.

February 17, 2019

{Airline Meals}

Gobbling down two full course meals within 6 hours! In order to tick Qatar off the list, my BFF and I flew from Jakarta, Indonesia to Doha, Qatar by Qatar Airways. In spite of the flight taking less than 9 hours, it took me by surprise that the airline provided two full course meals even for passengers in the Economy Class.

{SIN - Singapore: Central} Chinese Portuguese

Underwhelming signature pork chop bun... It's been a while since I last went to Macau. Stumbling upon an eatery serving Macanese food while wandering about the B2 floor of VivoCity, I dragged my friend to have dinner there. Tai Lei Loi Kei's original branch is somewhere in Taipa, Macau, which has been serving its signature pork chop buns since the 1990s.
