GEO: Orbi's Restaurant

Image
Delicious barbecued pork in private room! My BFF and I only had one chance to have a proper meal in Gori, Georgia, the town where Joseph Stalin was born. As we were going to catch the one and only train back to Tbilisi, we decided to eat somewhere nearer to the train station. Orbi's Restaurant was our choice for the afternoon.

A taste of sausages from a separatist state~ When in Tbilisi, Georgia, don't forget to ride the modern funicular up to the plateau of Mt Mtatsminda, where there's an amusement park overlooking the city. After we were done walking around, we ended up at one of the restaurants at the upper station. Chela Funicular serves Georgian cuisine, specialising in meat dishes.

GEO: Lumier's Chimney Cake

A sweet Czechian treat in Tbilisi! Still in Old Tbilisi, Georgia, I was so excited upon seeing a stall selling chimney cake. The alluring aroma pf the spit cake by Mr. Lumier from Czechia was too difficult to resist, so I dragged my BFF to share the calories.

GEO: Hotel City Centre [Breakfast]

Image
My first time having piping hot oatmeal with butter! It escaped my mind to write earlier on the breakfast offerings at Hotel City Centre (4*) in Tbilisi, Georgia, where my BFF and I stayed at for 4D3N. Besides buffet items, the hotel also offers a few cooked-to-order dishes printed on a small menu card that's placed on each table.

Colourful vegetable balls, anyone? It's no surprise that I often plan my itinerary based on the eateries I want to visit. Samikitno is an exception, which I stumbled upon when my BFF and I were wandering about Old Tbilisi, Georgia. As we were already quite hungry, we decided to go ahead and give it a try.

GEO: KGB

Image
"Still watching you~" As history buffs, my BFF and I were excited to find a restaurant called KGB in Old Tbilisi. According to the Internet, it offers dishes with interesting names along the likes of Proletariat Pizza and Lenin's Favourite Dish . Unfortunately, I can tell you for sure that the restaurant has done away with those.

GEO: Tiflisi

Ever thought of a marriage between beef and sturgeon? Welcome to Georgia! No, I don't mean the state in the USA, but a country in the Caucasus region. My BFF and I really had a great time exploring its unique cuisine during our 7D6N stay there. We had our very first meal at the highly recommended Tiflisi in Tbilisi, the capital city of the country.

BAH: Dilmun Lounge @ Bahrain International Airport

Image
Choose the correct wrap(s) for yourself! Having read many reviews online about how good Dilmun Lounge at Bahrain International Airport is, my BFF and I'd planned to go to the airport early to give it a shot using our Priority Pass membership cards. Once we were done walking around the transit area, we immediately went to the lounge have a proper dinner.

BAH: Le Chocolat

Image
Don't forget to try the saffron pistachio cake and hot chocolate! My BFF and I hadn't planned to dine at Le Chocolat at all. It was when we were walking at the quiet Diplomatic Area in the evening that we decided to give the café a try, which is apparently recommended for its wood-fired pizzas.

In fact, it was also my first time flying directly to Istanbul, Turkey from Singapore. In general, I enjoyed the two meal services: supper and breakfast.

Tasty beef lasagna by Brahim's Food Services, but no more... After so long, I finally managed to have a family trip again in December 2022 with Japan as the destination.

Let's take a look at what I had onboard Malaysia Airlines MH52 from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Osaka, Japan.
