Kazbah II

I am super behind, nowdays very lazy to update the blog -_-". Anyway, since we had such a wonderful dinner at Kazbah, we keen to try thier famous breakfast.

Virgin Mary ($10.50), Lemon, pineapple and mint juice ($6.50), hot mocha ($4.50), Bloody Mary ($10.50).

P'Ta, I think she is really pretty today.


Tan found his Bloody Mary was too spicy then he ordered another lemonade. I think the waiter didn't charge for his bloody mary.. so nice.

Pretty busy.

Breakfast Tagine $18 : Lamb Mince, Sucuk, Spinach, Roast Capsicum, Roast Tamato, Caramelized Onion, Feta, Eggs, Turkish Toast, Lebanese Bread

A must have dish. It was perfect, nothing to complain. I love the flavour of the lamb mince and its spices, very very flavourful. The roasted veggies were soft and juicy..

Doesn't it look so great?

French Toast, Bacon, Glazed Baby Figs, Double Cream, Apple Cinnamon Syrup $16.50.

Another yummy dish. There was a really thick brioche soaked in the syrup and topped with very creamy double cream (as thick so I thought it was mascarpone), and huge bacons. Eating with figs even made it better. However, I have no idea who can finish this dish alone.

Feta Potato Cake, Smoked Salmon, Creme Fraiche, Red Wine Onion Marmalade $19.50

Tan said the potato cake tasted funny. I thought it was ok and quite an interesting dish.. but its not a dish I would order again. I like the salmon though.

N'Ping is ready to attack the food.

And of course, we planned to have dessert breakfast !

Chocolate and Raspberry Pancake, Butterscotch Sauce, Chocolate Fudge Ice Cream $18

Compared with my face...


This is very different from normal pancake we normally have. It is kinda baked biscuit for me. I guess they bake it in the pan... First bite it was weird but the following bites... I like ! The edge was crisp and moist in the middle. My faverite part were the edge and chocolate & raspberry..haha.


Super super full, we couldn't finish pancake though.

Happy happy breakfast :D

Kazbah

One Friday night we went for another good deal dinner at Kazbah (the SIFF promotion)

At 6.30 pm., we were the first table in the restaurant. The decoration is so beautiful and charming.

3 courses for $25, the dishes were served in a "share style". All the food name is so difficult to pronounce or remember, I knew just a few dishes. When we sat down, the friendly waiter served us the table water from the very nice jug followed by Turkish bread with olive oil and dukkha.

Mezzes

There were Oohh and Aahhh when the first dish came. The presentation were so impressive. It consists of :

Fried Cauliflower, Eggplant Jam, Pinenuts & Yoghurt Tahini

Only thing I remember is it was nice starter.

Ras el Hanout Kataifi Prawns & Muhamara Sauce

This were so nice. The rice noodle outside were crisp but not too oily at all. The prawn were super fresh, and a little bit spicy from the sauce...

Char-grilled Quail & Pomegranate Sauce

The quail were cooked beautifully. Ping and Ta really like it so much. The pomegranate sauce was a bit sweet and sour, made the dish interesting.


Dips : Hummus, Taramasalata, Babaganouj

I love it all, even Taramasalata was a bit fishy but all was very yummy.


When we finished the dish, we were so excited about the coming main.


Happy meal, happy girls !



The plate was so pretty..hehe


Main 1 : Casablanca Royale Slow Roasted Lamb Shoulder, Braised Vegetables, Sultana Jam, Steamed Couscous

THIS WAS AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL DISH ! We all love it, and still dream about it everyday. It was really nice until I wanted to give it my tears (of happiness...hahahahha)


Condiments : Chillis, Preserved Lemon and Yoghurt


I like the lemon, when eat the lamb with all condiments, tasty ! (having it alone also very nice already)



Super tender and delicious.

Main 2 : Pan Fried Duck Breast with Falafel, Honey Baked Quince & Sweet Potato Chips

First time I saw the dish, it looked like nothing special but Kazbah is not disappointing, the tasty juicy meat and crisp skin satisfied us.

We were talking that they made a great job with entree and main. Let's see the dessert.

Desserts

Fig & Halawa Bisteeya with White Peach Sorbet

Sahleb - Middle Eastern Milk Pudding, Fresh Berry Compote

Quince & Almond Tart with White Peach Sorbet

All were great again, I really like the peach sorbet, super refreshing !

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY FACE.

The service is very friendly and the food was absolutely wonderful. It is the place I would love to take my family, friends or visitor to try. Such a memorable meal. Definitely come back for thier famous breakfast and more dinner.
