This is the Meeting Point!

We used Malaysian Kitchen as our the base for most of the meeting for 'teh tarik' or something casual. Not to mention even for some formal meeting. This is the place for farewell party; dinner or lunch. Like tonight we had farewell dinner to Tuan Hj Mazlan who will be leaving Saudi Arabia by end of this month.

Anybody can have something here, call the crew they will organize for you.

What did we have for lunch today?

Friday afternoon after prayer is usually quiet. Since we prayed in a masjid that held slightly early sermon, we headed straight to Malaysian Kitchen for lunch.

I asked for Nasi Goreng kampung, 7-Up and finished off with Kopi SusuTarik Malaysia (Kopi Hang Tuah). Kahfi had fried mackerel (ikan kembong goreng), white rice and prawn salad.

I paid SR15 for nasi goreng, SR2 for 7-Up and SR5 for kopi tarik. Prawn salad was SR15.

Done, full and I left early for my siesta.

This is the location of Malaysian Kitchen in Al Khobar. The coordinates are based on the reading from my Blackberry which I believe quite accurate.

Alternatively the place can be reached from King Khalid Street and turn left at cross 27 Street.

Or coming through Pepsi Road from Silver Tower and turn right at Prince Nasser Street. The landmark from Pepsi Road is Chinese Grill Restaurant; a side road before traffic light. The first junction from this street is cross 27 Street - Malaysian Kitchen stands at the corner of Prince Nasser Street and Cross 27 Street.

Cucur Udang Kuah Kacang

Kalau di Malaysia, nak cari cucur udang agak senang. Tapi kalau nak di satukan dengan sos yang sesuai selalunya dihidangkan dengan sos cili sahaja. Yang paling senang ialah dengan sos cili terus dari botol. Tetapi kalau nak dengan kuah kacang mana nak dapat. Kalau dulu mak buat kuah kacang sendiri, sarapan pagi pasti menyelerakan.

Sekarang juadah yang ringkas ini boleh didapati juga di Saudi Arabia di sebuah restoran Melayu; Malaysia Kitchen. Terletak di Al Khobar, di timur tanah arab ini di tengah-tengah kesibukan bandar yg juga terletak berhampiran dengan negara Bahrain.

Malaysian Kitchen yang juga dikenali sebagai MK menawarkan juadah masakan kegemaran Malaysia seperti lemak cili padi, daging masak merah, ayam kacang gajus, talapia kari merah, sup ekor, mee goreng, nasi goreng dan lain-lain lagi. Tidak ketinggalan juga teh tarik dan kopi susu malaysia sebagai tambahan kepada ABC, jus buah dan minuman tin.

Pengunjung MK terdiri daripada golongan professional yang bekerja di sekitar Al Khobar, Dammam dan juga bila hujung minggu dari Jubail dan Riyadh.
