13. Simple foods in a luxury surrounding ... Bahrain ... 2007 ...

From all those (predominantly) meanderings in Asia, let's move west ever onwards ... and you will see, slowly that the pictures of our featured foods start to reach proper plating standards ala today's crazed world obsession with taking photos of food ... back then ... well ... we love our food but we didn't think to take proper photos know what I mean?

Anyway ... here is one of 8 dishes featured in my humble apartment in Bahrain ... steamed veg and sambal chutney ... hehehe

And then there's the welcoming platter from a hotel ... partially eaten before realizing I needed a photo ... see what I mean? Hahaha! Check out the colours though ... isn't it awesme? Plate of sweets, plate of savouries and a bowl of uncut fruits

And then ... if you order room service like I did ... a Caesar salad ... they serve this to you in your separate private dining room in your "little" villa ... just awesome service and design of villa ... not so sure about taste of food though ... not saying it's bad ... just that everything else is so over the top that ...

All these for an order of Coca Cola (guilty yes) and a Caesar Salad
