During the first week of this brand new month, we headed to
the Bahrain Farmer’s Market in Budaiya, which I believe everyone should visit because it is a wonderful experience. We had a big and filling Bahraini breakfast which included fried omelet,
chicken liver, Arabic bread, cheese and ‘Luqaimat’ (sweet and crunchy on the
outside deep-fried dumplings drizzled with honey) and Karak Tea. This breakfast
kept us happy till past three in the afternoon. Following this, hunger pangs
crept up and we ended up picking up lunch from Lulu Hypermarket’s Hot food
section.
After a food-filled day, later in the night we headed to
Rice Bowl (located on the ground floor of Bahrain City Center) for a light
dinner, we were the last diners that were accepted, those who came after us
were politely declined.
Since this was going to be light and Mr. D was inclined
towards seafood. We ordered the Calamari, but we were informed that it was not
available. Then Mr. D ordered the Tempura Prawns and for the main course we
ordered the Mixed Lo-Mein.
Our orders did not take long to come-which is impressive. We were served our
appetizer and before we could finish it, we were served, our main.
The Tempura Prawns -are battered and deep fried prawns
which I personally felt leaned towards the non-crispy side, and it felt as if
they had softened (visible
through the photo). The seasoning was a miss too. This was served on a scanty
bed of shredded cabbage and a slice of cucumber and tomato along with a sweet
sauce.

The Mixed Lo Mein (Chinese/Cantonese noodles) basically comprised, chicken, vegetables, beef and shrimps cooked with wheat noodles and
tossed in Chinese sauces. The latter was definitely lacking and it resembled
and tasted so much like regular ‘mixed fried noodles’. I don’t know how an
actual Lo Mein should taste so I leave you to try this and decide.

May be the next time we head there we might try the Arabian
dishes.
