Teaching has it's perks

You know how last time in primary and secondary school you had to go for these weird festivals and heritage tours they made you go for? The ones that broadly fell under "social studies"?

Well, the missus got one such assignment: To showcase Egyptian FOOD to her students!

Woo!

So, after consulting the Arab St. Guru XF, we went to Amira's Grill and were greeted with...

Took our breath away.

We showed up at 5:10pm, so the place was deserted. Perfect.

Moroccan Mint Tea ($3)

Lebanese Hummus dip and Pita Bread (inc. in set meal)

Hummus up close

Coleslaw (included in set)

Mixed Kebab with Arabic rice (12.90)

This was really good, considering the price. The rice deserves special mention. It's flavourful without feeling too heavy on the spice, and the raisins go perfectly.

She had the Mixed Seafood Platter (20.00 inc. set meal)

Caramel Cream (inc. in set)

And now, ladies and gents, allow me to show you the next step in the evolutionary process of ireallylovedanny.blogspot.com....

BEHIND THE SCENES FOOTAGE!!!!

Chef Amirah himself flippin' some kebabs

Yep. Egyptians do a mean flambe as well.

Adding the final touches...

And voila! Mixed kebab with Arabic rice.

Yes, yes, I know the place might seem a little contrived from the pictures, but who cares? Fantastic atmosphere, great service, above average food, great value, it's a perfect place to meet friends in town, but not at town prices.

I'll be back.
