The weekend was very nice, we spent Thursday night with friends at a 5 star restaurant at the "Intercontinental Hotel" which was fabulous. We started dinner off with the salad and soup bar.
The best part is whilst you are sitting at the table, guys come around with huge racks of different kinds of meat on huge skewers. If you have turned your glass coaster to green, they will ask you if you'd like some of that particular meat and this goes on endlessly. If on the other hand, you have your coaster turned to show the red side, you will not be asked if you want any of the meat.
The meat ranged from medium rare beef sirloin to grilled and marinated chicken. In between, you could choose from lamb parts and or chicken hearts(no thank you).
We ate outside on a very nice patio overlooking a kind of marina.
The experience is definitely one I will always remember. The ambiance was perfect.
If you are in the area, I suggest you make reservations early. It is hard to get a table.
Friday we got up early and did the grocery shopping at the vegetable market and the fish market, which is always fun. Best of all, when you shop at the markets, you save big and the quality is so much better than in the grocery stores. I have found that the veggies actually last longer than those from the grocery and of course, you have to soak everything you buy at the vegetable market in cold water with a hint of bleach. It is unknown if pesticides are used and which ones.
Finally Saturday was another beautiful day. We went to a pub we love for fish and chips called "Captains Arms" for lunch. After Captain's Arms we went to the "Hiltonia" Club to sip some refreshing beverages next to the beach whilst the sun set. We crossed under to the "Hilton" to stop at "Hemmingways" for dinner and tunes from the live band.
All in all it was a fantastic weekend. I hope you enjoyed yours.
