I was going thru my hand phone and found a lot of old images of the food I have cooked. Being lazy as I am today (probably due to prowling in the gym fir 3 hours) I will just put up all the images and write a short description of everything that I've tried cooking and how it fared

Vege Chicken Drumsticks and Vege Nyonya Asam Cod Fish

The Asam fish was ready made and came with its own sauce, I just have to thaw the packet out, add in some water, chilli sauce and soya sauce to give it an additional taste. The drumsticks required more work, I made a coctail of chili and tomato sauces and added in the deep-fried drumsticks. They were good. I think the drumsticks made all the difference. Mental note: buy this brand when I go back Malaysia.





Simit with Vege Rendang Curry

My husband loves these easy to cook mutton and chicken curries, they come in this silver packets and they cook fast. He is a messy cook so they come in handy. Anyways I had two day old simit from my return stop at Istanbul (yeah, the review is long over due) so I decided to experiment a little bit. I cut simit into bite size and let them cook with the mutton curry sauce to soften it. The whole thing turned out really tasty and the husband loved it





Made In EU Mock Meat

You have to give them some credit, they don't use preservatives, coloring and MG wildly like how we do so their mock meat tastes bland, but it gives you an opportunity to add in your own spices to taste it to your liking. Which is why after so trying so many of their mock meat, I decided the only thing I liked was their burger patty.

This large red building is hard to miss, when you land and come out of the airport one of the first few landmarks you see is the brightly painted red Family Food Center building which houses a mall, and a handful of fast food restaurants (Mc Donalds, Bombay Chowpatty, etc)

In my opinion, the food here is cheaper than in City Center, and my tab came up to 169 Riyals for much of the same items that would probably cost me more than 200 Riyals in the latter mall. I bought some microwavable Indian food stuff, a packet of dry soy mock meat, some vegetables, and found a bottle of vegetarian soya sauce! They also have a massive selection of pickles and Indian spices as well as odd items (IMHO) like banana sauce, pickled banana and banana powder!

On my way out, I came across this small hut attached to the mall that sold ala-carte vegetarian food (rice and vegetables) Unfortunely here in Doha, they don't sell mix rice concept (where you can mix a few vege dishes with your rice) and they sell in terms of "half" and "full" so I packed "half" rice, and halves of gobi manchurian and paneer dhal. This came to 28 Riyals

Overall it was an interesting shopping experience, you will find more Indian and Qatari here than in West Bay. It kind of felt like I was in India






The vegetarian hut at the exit of the mall, the food here is reasonably priced but the stern faced worker isn't very helpful or hospitable to customers.

Update, these pictures were taken last weekend when I went there again with my husband for Diwali shopping, armed with a lengthy list from my mother in law haha
