This was a night before my Son left, with some friends we decided to go out for dinner and indulge in some Omani cuisine. I am not much of an explorer when it comes to food, for me I eat more with my eyes then my mouth. But yet I do enjoy watching different types of cuisines. My Son wanted to try out some local cuisines so we picked up this place because it serves authentic Omani cuisine and the food is tasty here.
The most famous dish of this place is the Camel meat. I have tried it once before, it taste more like beef and I never eat beef. I used to eat it in my teens but later I quit it completely. The reason being, once I had gone with my father to the beef market and over there the scene took on me. I could not stand it, it was gross. I felt so sick looking at it that after coming home also I was disoriented for a long time and from that day I stopped eating beef and pork completely and even any type of meat organs. Though I wanted to try out the camel meat one time, I did not enjoy it. Somehow it brought back the memory of that experience, so it was one bite and that's it.
For me the food has to be visually appealing to even taste. At the restaurant I settled down with my standard meal which is grilled chicken. The rest of them enjoyed all the Omani cuisines, we ordered for Shuva, which is marinated spiced meat cooked underground over a period of 24 hours and then served with rice, camel meat was another dish we ordered, these were 2 special items and then along with it we ordered some Felafel Salad and a dish of grilled prawns and chicken.
That's the shuva meat, it's cooked underground and then served wrapped up in banana leaf. The meat is extremely tender and juicy. Again not for my pallet but the rest of them enjoyed.
That's the camel meat served with rice.
This is my meal, grilled chicken with lemon butter sauce.
And Felafel salad to go with it. Felafel are veg kebabs.
Some grilled prawns
It was quite a lot of food but we managed to finish it. Last few days I have been indulging in heavy meals, now that everyone has left I am on a total diet control and doing a detox to get rid away of all that excess unwanted food.
