BAHRAIN - Part II

Juggling with 2 girls n a "boy" make our second day starts late. Dah masuk Zohor baru la bleh keluar dari pintu hotel.

So terus round2 cari makan. On the way I ternampak signboard mentioning bout "banana leaves" so terus suh Amet break kt situ. Tapi x ambik gambar plak nama restoran tu. Kedai India, a very Indian food. Memula order 2 pinggan nasik, tapi bila dia hantar, mak oi punya la big portion.Terus cancel satu. Dapat minum "rasam" jugak...my favorite, nice...
Oh, sempat jugak ajar the kids kunyah jintan manis - it's Indian tradition utk hilangkan bau mulut lepas makan. And to my suprise, they like it very much!!!

The food buat I teringat zaman keja Cerebos n Inqpharm dulu, suka sgt makan Indian Cuisine + Rasam + chew jintan manis + Chai Masalla...

Next stop ialah Mahlaqah Souq. Sini ialah kedai bangunan lama-lama yg banyak jual mcm-mcm. Ada banyak kedai abaya tapi the price adalah amat tidak mesra alam. maka I hanya membeli sepit rambut (special nih...) dan celak mata Miss Rose (kalau wanita Arab harus ada celak cap Miss rose nih!). Actually nk cari souvenir tapi x jumpa pun... :(
Oh lagi satu, maybe sebab Bahrain ni ialah sebuah pulau, maka jalan2 kat sini mmg sebijik mcm style kat Penang tu. Jalan yg kecik dan sempit dan melalui di celah2 bangunan yg buruks dan nak roboh...hehehe oghang Penang jgn marah mami noo....

Satu lagi misi utama ke sini ialah utk nak cari SOS. Ya, SOS CILI. dan KICAP. Huhuuhu...kat saudi tu ada mmg ada, tapi rasa mmg sgt lain macam. Diberitakan kat Bahrain ni lebih banyak brg yg citarasa Malaysia. Oh mmg betul, sbb banyak jugak jumpa kereta Proton Waja n Gen-2 kat sini. Dan banyak jugak wanita berjambul 5 inci mcm makcik R**** hehehe....

Sebuah Gen-2 yg parking dkt dgn hotel kami

Maka ke Lulu Hypermarket dan dapatlah Sos Cili Kimball. Tapi kicap xde pun.

Pi vacation, tapi tujuan utama ialah nak cari benda ni :))

Lepas Maghrib sekali lagi ke Carrefour kat Bahrain City Centre (Mall yg sangat besar sampai jalan2 pun kena rehat 2-3 kali). Beli Sos Cili Maggi pulak, kicap tetap x dapat... sadis betoi.

Singgah makan kat Restoran Thai Chi (makanan Thailand-Chinese). Sangat teruja bila the waitress datang dan bercakap Melayu-Indonesia and her name's Atikah. And after that the waiter yg serve makanan pun sama (nama x berapa ingat, rasa Shaefudin kot) cakap Melayu. Amatlah rasa rileks dan kurang sikit sakit kepala. Had a great time chatting with them both. Plus, dapat makan Tom Yum Gung dan Ayam Pandan gitu!

Fine dining is not that very fine anymore with the little fingers mula mencuit salt&pepper shaker, mengoyak menu, dan mengelap meja dgn napkin...Ohh...

Jalan-jalan in the mall. Amet bought himself Clarks shoes as they are having pre-sales.

And I just bought few mekaps hehehe...sangat best sbb kat sini ialah semua salegirls yg jaga. Maka I mintak try mcm-mcm from foundation, to blusher, to eye shadow, to lipstick. And the salesgirl pun sgt super friendly. Ohhhh!!! What a pleasure!

Not sure if this brand has reached Malaysia, but it's almost all over the world including New York, London, Montreal, Dublin, Sydney, Melbourne (Isma bleh try :)). KSA pun ada, tapi biasalah salesman jaga that's why I terpaksa pi beli jauh-jauh huhuhu.

Try punya la banyak makcik nih, belinya ciput jek (kata salesgirl di dalam hati)

Since anak-anak pun dah nampak gaya mcm nak jadik serigala jadian, maka we have to discontinue our jalan-jalan. Oh sebelum keluar from mall, I sempat grab 2 pair of kids socks from Carter's. Sangat geram dgn kecomelan socks yg cute mute tuh!

On the way back to hotel, Amet keep asking me what is still in mywishlist, what I want to buy for ME, MYSELF. Hmmm... last sekali I said "Thai Massage!" Oh and Amet really make a U-turn and took us to our neighbour-hotel, where they do have a salon & spa. It was quite late, almost 11 pm, so tak ramai org. So Amet ialah babysitting while I'm having my destressful massage.

But after a while, the little monsters keep coming in n out into my room, and to the worst duduk together on the bed. Hmmm..the beautiful Thai masseur plak layan jek depa (Syok dengar dia punya English with bunyi Siam hehehe). Adehhh... xleh ibu nak layan spa sepenuh hati :(

And all the ladies in the salon mcm sgt friendly, bagi chocolates to the kids and drinks for Amet and sampai kami dah naik lift nak balik pun, still ada yg berlari mai bagi coklat lagi! Huhuhu... Amet kata maybe they miss they kids kat kampung kot.

And that ends our day 2....
