We have just recently moved into a new flat and we are as exhausted as a marathoner but we are super excited about this move. There was absolutely no plans of moving in our minds. We were very happy with our old place and giddy with excitement as we plan for our vacation this August. Little did we know that God has something in store for us.

In short, all our vacation plans went down the drain and replaced entirely by what God planned for us.

There's also the bit about looking for a place for Marco and Dexi while we are away. Of course there are pet boarding facilities here, but it costs a fortune. We were already preparing ourselves (or should I say our pockets) for the amount we were about to pay, but God has another surprise for us. He sent someone who works in a vet to look after our babies. He'll be in charge of feeding them and walking them on a daily basis and we are so relieved to have met him.

We are very thankful to God for this major revamp. I believe it may completely change our lifestyle and we are looking forward to the challenges ahead because we believe that these blessings come with no trouble to them.

Don't worry, I'll share the details soon. For now, we'll carry on with our vacation - a completely different one from our original plan. I will be updating on TWITTER and INSTAGRAM, so don't hesitate to follow me in both accounts.

I know that P.F. Chang's opened a few month back here in Doha; and I hear different impressions from everyone whose ever tried it. One thing I hear (or read) most of the time is the very long wait before you can get a table. So, I've decided to let the hype die down a bit before we try the place out. And I must say it was a very smart decision. Aside from the fact that we avoided the long queuing, there was also the chance for them to polish their services - another one of the bad feeds that I've been reading about.


The hubster and I was seated right away (might be because there were only 2 of us) contrary to the word of an hour's waiting time.

Dynamite Shrimp QR47

Of course, we had to try the very famous Dynamite Shrimp. We were a little hesitant at first because we are not fans of spicy food, but these things were absolutely amazing. That plus the fact that it was served at our table a mere 3 minutes was just unbelievable. They must be making these in volumes just to be ready.

Mongolian Beef QR71

The Mongolian Beef is another favorite, as far as I know. So, of course, we had to try it. The thin slices of caramelized beef tossed with scallions were wonderful. I love how the beef was very tender and easy to chew on. It was very savory with a hint of sweetness which we both loved. And it comes with a bowl of brown or white rice.

Singapore Street Noodles QR 48

The Singapore Street Noodles was a bit bland but when mixed with the right sauces (served in the table at the start of the meal), it could be more interesting. Thin rice noodles tossed with shrimp, chicken strips, tomatoes, cilantro and garlic.

Servings were good for 2-3 people (if you're not that hungry.) I can definitely see ourselves back here but not in the very near future.

They are located at Villagio Mall - very near the food court area and are open from 11:00am - 11:00pm (regular times). Please call them for their opening times during Ramadan. Their numbers are 4452 8541-42.

Have you tried P.F. Chang's here in Qatar or anywhere else in the world? Please let me know what you think about it?

Every few months, we experience a little bit of stress at work and these past few weeks were one those. The last two weeks have been hectic, so I guess it was a very rightful reward to finally have some of my favorite Wasabi Prawns from The Noodle House.

Also, while waiting for the hype to die down at PF Chang's at Villagio, I think this place could satisfy your Asian food cravings, for the time being.


It was our first time to try their Landmark Mall branch, we've previously dined at their City Center and The Pearl branches. I think my favorite would have to be the one at The Pearl, maybe because of the view. All are equally neat and spotless, nonetheless.

Wasabi Prawns QR49

The above photo are the Wasabi Prawns I've been raving about. I'm not sure how to properly describe this starter, all I can say is that you have to try it for yourselves. The best thing I love about this dish is the mango salsa, it is refreshing with just the right amount of spice.

Chicken Satay QR29

Ever since I first tried the Chicken Satay from our ASEAN Food Tour at Katara, I've been keeping an eye out on menus for this. Unfortunately, I was not at all convinced with The Noodle House's version of this famous Indonesian dish. Theirs looked a bit depressing compared to the authentic appearance of the satay, don't you think? Even the peanut sauce did not satisfy both Raymond and I.

Beef Char Kwey Teow QR63

The Beef Char Kwey Teow is flat rice noodles in oyster sauce. The rice noodles were just OK, simple and straightforward.

Cantonese Roasted Duck (Half) QR95

Now, who goes to an Asian restaurant without getting Roast Duck, right? This dish comes with lotus pancakes and hoisin sauce. The duck was tender and it seriously melts in your mouth. There were some parts though, that were toasted and hard to chew on.

If you are looking for a fusion of Asian food, The Noodle House is a safe place to dine. They offer a variety of South-East Asian food from countries such as China, Thailand, Indonesia, etc. They have three locations in Qatar: The Pearl, Landmark Mall and City Center.

Again, we used the Entertainer App for our meal so the Beef Char Kwey Teow was deducted from our total bill.

You can check out their menu here: The Noodle House menu
You can find them at the following locations:
     - GF City Center Mal
     - GF Landmark Mall
     - The Pearl, Qatar

Biella's always been one of our favorite Italian restaurants in Doha. They have branches at malls which are really very convenient for us, especially if we have errands to run and some grocery shopping to do.

One of the main reasons I love Biella is their mushroom soup. I'm not really a fan of mushrooms, I think it's its texture, but for some reason I love Biella's. I only got to try it by chance, when we first ate here and Raymond ordered it and made me try. If it was totally up to me, we wouldn't have ordered it at all. But I'm so glad we did back then.

In another attempt to make full use of our Entertainer App, we have decided to have dinner at Biella for the nth time. And these are what we devoured on...

Osso Buco QR89

Braised Veal Shank served with Saffron Risotto and shaved Parmesan.

We first tried the Osso Buco in The One Restaurant (read about it here). The Osso Buco from Biella was very different from that of The One's. The texture of the sauce was a creamier sauce and it had more flavour, as if a lot of other ingredients were braised with it. If I were to choose between the two, I'd say the one of Biella's has won my heart.

Filetto di Cernia QR89

Olive and herb-crusted Hammour Fillet with rosemary, potatoes & tomatoes.

As usual, I was looking on getting a salmon for myself, but changed my mind the last minute because Raymond was teasing me again on always having salmon (can you even blame me? I love salmon). So when my order came I was a bit grumpy, but that changed when I took my first bite. The crust of the hammour was a perfect crisp and went really well with whatever those leaves are atop it. The only thing that I didn't like is the tomato-based sauce for the potatoes, I'm not really a fan of tomato paste. I think I would've loved the whole dish even more it were only seasoned potatoes.
