Family Bonding Over Middle Eastern Food And Arabic Tea

Before it gets a little bit more complicated and before you get more and more confused, let me tell ya, my mom (Mama) and dad (Ayah) are not living together anymore. Mama and Ayah divorced when I was 13 years old and they both share custody of two daughters - me and my younger sister. Then, two years later, Mama and Ayah remarried (not with each other) and each of them was blessed with a son. So technically, I have two sides of family yang macam-macam ragamnya.

You’ve heard me telling about my outing with Mama and her gang at The Curve, Mutiara Damansara, in the previous blog post, so now, you’ll be hearing me talking about my special time with Ayah and his gang at Al-Diafah Restaurant last night. Too bad, my brother, Faridhil was not around as he’s stuck with the bloody Malaysia National Service programme (Program Khidmat Latihan). What a shitty! So, it was just me, my hubby, Ayah, step-mom and step-brother Azrun.

Well, we came to know about this restaurant last two years ago through the internet when we were looking for a nice and private dining place for breaking fast (berbuka puasa). Since that night, this restaurant has become ayah’s favourite chill-out spot.

Welcome to Al-Diafah Restaurant, one of the best Middle Eastern restaurants you can find in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Before going straight to the dining hall, Ayah wanted to buy some dates (kurma) so, we checked out Al-Diafah’s huge range of dates located at the groundfloor. FYI, these dates are fresh and well preserved, that they taste like heaven!

Lets get inside. Ain’t this the coolest place on earth or what? The last time when we came here for dinner, I used my Sony compact camera, so the pictures taken weren’t so clear. This time, I used NIKON D40X and the pictures are better and sharper.

Nice, you think? Wait till you see the drinks and the food. I’m not sure if you like it or not, but I sure loved it very much!

The Ginger Tea and Arabic Tea were marvelous!

And the Mixed Vegetables Soup, Tomato Soup With Cheese, Pita Breads, Lamb on Rice (hubby ordered that, okay!) and Grilled Lamb Chop were simply as marvelous too!

Don’t forget to wash and soak your fingers into the warm lemon and mint water when you’re done with dinner! I guarantee, you’ll love the feel of it.
