Lebanon Restaurant , Batu Feringghi ( U )

Batu Feringghi it was tonight, as I craved for Middle Eastern food.

Upon opening the menu, I found that they didn't just specialize in Lebanese or Middle Eastern fare.
But western grill selections with spaghetti and pizza ???

Have to admit I thought of walking out, but I am very glad I stayed .

Lamb Briyani.

Panicked because all I saw was a mountain of colourful, rice.

While the rice was a little on the dry side, as well as a little salty, I found it most fragrant and enjoyed the texture immensely.

 Seriously..the best briyani rice I have had on Penang Island to date.

After getting my tastebuds refined by the many fantastic pizzas churned out by Ecco cafe, Pastamania, Bella Italia and Spasso Milano, I admit to being guilty of haughtily snubbing this trusty American giant.

But some kids, especially mine, are loyalists, atuned to advertisements that drop out of our morning newspapers.

I'm just so glad that more and more restaurants such as this,where the day to day running of the kitchen is helmed by foreign chefs, are opening up here on the island,in Langkawi and KL.

It's such a great thing to be able to enjoy quality cuisines without having to fork out a bomb for airfare and lodging alone.

Got a little carried away,toying with my camera settings and by the time I started on my Cappucino ($12.80)it had gone a bit cold.
Though not incredibly thick like what one would get on Italian soil, nevertheless it is better than a whole lot of other places.

Maybe next time I should order straight from the wine list instead.

Heard so much about their wood fired pizzas.

Some rave about it,others say it is so so.

Think it all boils down to a matter of personal preference.
