Shaka Restaurant being demolished

It still happens, M's often ordered lamb chops or something and we've have seen the kitchen boy dashing off on his scooter and coming back with them! Doesn't get fresher than that! I think it's great that they help each other out or they just buy as they need it. When we go to Hamsi for a afternoon or sunset drink, we might buy a snack and the guy gets on his bike to buy fresh bread. Love it!  Nowhere else in the world eh? Roll on summer.

Maya and Cinar (next door to each other and both offering a similar product) have a brilliant relationship - very refreshing when seen in actiong

A recent post by ColinT reminded me of a night I had long forgotten, then as soon as he posted about it remembered so well. In the early days of the Bus Stop, it was also the early days of Bella Mammas. The Bus Stop was the place to be for Euro 2004 - but they didn't do food. So you watched the England matches at the Bus Stop, and ordered your pizzas over the fence.

Everyone's a winner

We ordered a chicken kebab in Sultans by Kipa, wondered why it was taking so long then saw a guy on a scooter deliver it from another branch.

They are hoping to open up again for Valentines day, 14th February. They didn't say which year though.

I remember eating at Nevis Pide in The Paspatuer when you ordered a "special" beer.. It was eyes disguised in a coca cola cup...

I remember asking for a JD & Coke in a hotel in Abu Dhabi and the barman giving me a lecture - saying it was Ramadan and for most of the year they respect visitors and serve alcohol to them, even though they don't drink, and for a short period of the year it would be nice if we could respect them by abstaining during their religious holiday. He then walked off, leaving me sitting there at the bar alone.

I felt stunned and awful. He returned some time later with a tea tray - cup, saucer, teapot, the lot. I took this as his way of letting me know what was acceptable to drink during this Holy time.

The teapot, believe it or not, was full - of Jack Daniels and Coke. I happily sipped it from my china cup!

I love that !
