So after Asar, Amet took us to Al-Khobar, another city yg lebih maju n modern sikit compared to Jubail. ada banyak tempat menarik kat sana. but our intention mainly is to hunt for Malaysian food at the Malaysian Kitchen. and maybe to go to IKEA kalau sempat.
Dipendekkan cerita, our pening-lalat-Garmin didn't show the place, so no choice, kami sekali lagi ke Al-Rasheed Mall. actually last 2 weeks dh pi sini with my MIL. but since i didnt cerita anything about this place yet, so xpalah, entry ni will be about Al-Rasheed Mall.
Al-Rasheed Mall ni boleh dikatakan lebih kurang mcm One Utama, or maybe PAviliion jugak. And as u can see in the pix, i didnt wear hijab sbb tempat nih kira mcm modern skt, and orang-orang kat sini pun agak open-minded sikit, plus banyak foreigner jugak kat sini. so tak takut sgt kena renungan tajam pak arab. however, be it minah saleh, or mek jepun or malay me, wajib kena pakai abaya. cuma yg minah saleh and non-muslims lain tu depa x pakai tudung, or ada yg just belit2 jek shawl kat leher gitu.
Okeh, dalam mall ni terbahagi kepada beberapa "wings".
ada tempat for entertainment : games (ala-ala Time Square tuh), ada section for Go-Kart, and so on lah. but...definitely no cinemas hehehe...
then their so-called Food Court which 80% are fast food (again! douhh...). and disebabkan dh muak dgn fastfood, so konon-kononnya we chose to have chinese food...which is sgt mahal and xdek rasa "kechinesean" langsung! Oh so baddd...we just eat siikiiiitt sgt sbb xleh nk telan dh.
I buat-buat muka senyum telan chinese food (konon) ni. padahal...phuhhhh...sabar jek la..
The price is SR24 and tak sedap gillerr!!!Another wing of this mall called "plaza". and here is the place dimana all the glems n mahai-giler-butiks are. ada Guess, DKNY, Salvatore Ferragamo, Miss Sixty, Nine West, MANGO, Armani Exchange, Coach, and bla bla blahhhh la x mampu nak beli pun...hahhahaha. tapi we all gedik2 jek masuk all the butiks tengok2, pegang2, heheheh. tak sampai hati i nak galas handbag yg boleh bayar installment rumah 2 bulan tuh huhuhu...
tapi kan selamber jek minah-minah Arab nih pilih baju blaus or handbag, shoes yg beratus beribu tu, and betul2 depa gi bayar! pastu kan depa pilih baju yg seksi habis. padahai, nak keluar gi mana semua kena pakai abaya and hijab.membazir betoi baju mahai2 pakai kat umah jek. tapi gitulah nak kata betapa kaya gilernya org Arab nih, baju DKNY boleh buat baju dalam jek! (kebanyakannya kaya, tapi ada jugak yg moderate n susah n mtk sedekah).
And lepas penat jalan2, plus berhempas pulas bersama dua kanak2 yg macam2 akai nih, we stop for a coffee. Amet got himself Starbuck, while me, konon-kononnya nak try something new, chose the Seatle Best Coffee (same as Cinnabon). and...hehhehe biasalah, mesti terkena punya! Langsng tak best! Benci okeh hari ni asyik kena food yg x best jek! Hohohoo...
Rehat sat kat Family Section of the Cinnabon. kat Arab ni jgn ko gatai-gatai nak gi lepak sesuka hati kat kedai kopi / restaurant. mesti cari family section, baru pompuan bleh masuk. And klu nak tau, kat family section ni, u can see all the kurangsopan punya behaviour of the arab ladies..yes. yg duduk mengangkang, yg letak kaki atas meja, yg selak abaya sampa ke peha. seriously. and they are LADIES okeh...thats why lah gamaknya dea sediakan separate section nih...
Inilah rupa Iced Caramel I yg tak best langsung tuh!Our last station was Jarir Bookstore, ala-ala MPH gitu. we just bought a cartoon magazine for Zuzu and balikkk... sekian kisah perjalanan yg sesat n melencong ke tempat lain.
okeh i need to google for MAlaysian Kitchen coordinates so that i can key-in in the GPS. bye.
