Abdul's Lebanese Restaurant, Surry Hills

Abdul's Lebanese Restaurant on Elizabeth Street in Surry Hills is a family owned Lebanese Restaurant and Take Away. The take away options are cheaper than the dine-in - but the food is just as good.

Seating Options
There is the normal seating option in their main dining hall or small rooms where patron seat on low couches and eat from coffee tables. The latter is pretty good when you dine in a group as it provides a private and cosy feel. There's also a belly dancer who comes now and then to entertain.



Food 
There's an ala carte menu as well as a banquet menu. If you are starving, the banquet menu is definitely worth every cent with a wide range of cold and hot dishes, and desserts served. We weren't so hungry, so we went for a few dishes from the ala carte menu.

Rice and Meat ($11) - Brown rice cooked with lamb mince and pine nuts. Probably being Chinese, I'm used to soft fluffy moist rice. This rice is pretty dry. I personally didn't really like it.

Rice and Meat

Pickled Chilli and Olives and Lebanese Bread. All dinners are served with this complementary. I love the pickled chilli. The bread is very fresh and goes well with most of the mains.

BBQ Mixed Plate ($20) - Homous (chickpea dip), tabouli (parsley salad), baba ganouge (eggplant dip), garlic sauce, chicken skewer, lamb shish kebab skewer, kafta skewer (beef), falafel (deep fried ball made from chickpea and fava beans). This is a plate full of very wonderful things. I love the falafel at this place. It's not over-fried, as what you would find most of the time, so the outside is really crispy (not crunchy), and the insides are so juicy. All the meat are very well flavoured, very smoky and juicy.



Drinks 
Fresh Lemon Drink ($2.5) and Lebanese Coffee ($2.5). The fresh lemon drink is a home made lemonade with pulp. Do be warned that this is a pretty sweet drink! This coffee is a pretty strong and sweet drink - definitely not your everyday espresso, worth trying.


Overall
The food here is pretty delicious. The shop owner is very very friendly and ensures you have a good experience at her shop. There's somewhat a homely feel to this place that makes people keep coming back for more.

COVID-19 Stay-at-home Day 6: Kimchi Pork Stew Recipe

Image
Hi guys! It's day 6 of our COVID-19 stay-at-home plan. I've decided to resurrect my blog by sharing our meals with you guys. Tonight on the menu is my version of a Kimchi Pork Stew. It's super easy to make and you don't have to follow the vegetable recommendations strictly here. You can use whatever veggies you like. So here's it! It's best served with rice. Ingredients 200g Pork - Best cuts are belly if not shoulder or leg is fine. 1 tablespoon Oil 1 cup Kimchi 1 tablespoon Korean spicy red pepper paste (Gochujang) 3 cups water Your choice of mushrooms and vegetables. 1 packet of spicy Korean instant noodles 300g Medium tofu sliced (Optional) Spring onion to garnish Marinade Mixture 2 tablespoon of wine - Chinese cooking wine, Mirin/ cooking sake, or sherry 1 tablespoon of soy sauce 1 teaspoon of black pepper Method 1) Cut pork into thin slices.

COVID-19 Stay at Home Day 7: Crispy Rice Cakes Recipe

Image
Hey guys! Just sharing a quick analogy about numbers and COVID-19 and why you should avoid the disease before I post my recipe of the day. Imagine you have a packet of M&Ms with 100 little chocolates in it. Now you're being told between 2-6 pieces in that packet has cyanide in it, and there are a few that will give you violent diahorrea what would you do?  1) Throw the whole packet away 2) Eat it cause I won't die from diahorrea 3) Eat it cause what's the risk of dying, it's just 2-6%?! 4) Eat it and share it with all your friends and family and even your doggy! Personally, the most logical answer for me is to throw the whole packet away. It's the same reason why I'm staying at home to help stop the spread of COVID-19. I guess it's really food for thought! That said, here's my recipe for today! I've had some leftover rice from last night and NO WAY, not wasting any rice as it's super hard to find rice out there. I've turn my lef...

How to pick your notebook for Bullet Journal

Image
The bullet journal is a "back-to-traditional" organisational tool. It has won many fans not only from those who like being organised with to-do lists, but also from many craft and stationary enthusiast. If you've not heard of bullet journalling (or bujo for short), it is a system using a combination of long term and short term to-do lists, coupled with calendars to keep organised. Variations include meal prep lists, shopping lists, goals, etc. Many craft lovers also use their bujos for variations of paper crafts (like scrapbooking) and calligraphy. There are a good variety of different types and styles of notebooks available on the market. One of the most common dilemmas most newbies to bullet journalling have is what type of notebook to use. It might seem quite trivial for those who have never stepped into the bullet journalling world, but in fact the different types of notebook are used quite differently. To pick your first bullet journal, I've tried to catego...
