Dinner at Tony Roma's Ribs Seafood Steak

Eating-Out
It's the first day of Ramadan and the night is longer here in the Middle East. After a week of hubby’s night shift job, he decided to take us out for dinner. We went to Mall of Dhahran so it will be easier for us to push around with our newborn’s bulky stroller; it was actually his first night-out. We can’t decide yet where to eat so we walk for a while in the long aisle of the mall. The place is so quiet and there’s not much crowd yet, very typical for the first night of Ramadan. And after 15  minutes of walking my tummy starts to rumble so I told my husband to try out Tony Roma since I am craving for some steak these past few days. As we enter the place, a Kabayan greeted us and helped us in getting a table. He noticed our baby and asks how old is he and was surprised to find out that our baby is only 17 days old.
Kabayan: Totoo? (While peeping into my son’s stroller with so much surprise)
Me: Yup! ☺
Kabayan: Eh paano tahi nyo?
Me: Medyo okay naman na  ☺(laughing) 
Kabayan: Ang cute naman ng baby nyo ☺
Me: ☺
Well anyway, we just went out to have some dinner cause I’m so bored being in house arrest for almost 2 months now.  We didn’t ordered that much, just a plate of 2 Beef Medallions with Shrimp Scampi and 2 side dish: Mixed Vegetables and Mashed Potatoes. I also ordered a small plate of rice since my 4 year old son always look for it whenever we eat out. My daughter ordered for a Clubhouse Sandwich but the waiter said they will use a bun for it because they ran out of loaf bread. And for that, I need to convince my daughter that it’s the same sandwich she wanted. She was upset at first until she finally understood what I meant. 
Our order took so long that my kids started to become restless so I took some pictures of them using my iphone. They first served us the drinks; Strawberry Banana Freeze and Mirinda for our kids and after minute a complimentary freshly baked bread with butter which is so soft and warm was also served.
I think we waited for our main dish for about 30 -45 minutes; hmm what patience do we have. As I made my first bite with the steak, I realized that I forgot to tell the waiter to make it medium rare, but then I still enjoyed it since I'm starving already. It was a night of sumptuous dinner after all and we are all satisfied. We went home immediately since it's half way before midnight.

H ello blogger world, welcome to my new website, "annFabulous Life". It's not actually a new blog, but more of a new home. I thought of separating my life diary from my devotional blog for the sake of organization. Though I'm not really so prompt in updating my blogs I still want to maintain it because I'm really fond of doing this but it seems weird not to find time in doing things I like, hmm. This blog site is called annFabulous' Life because it will depict my family's fabulous life, yep fabulous life in my own right. First and foremost it's not to brag that we are having a fabulous life in the real sense of the word. But it is to share that fabulous life  means everything is big, phenomenal,  incredible, unbelievable, or remarkable not only in the time where everything is smooth and succesful but also in the hour of trial, desperation and poverty. Why? because we have found it possible to maintain the spirit of joy in every circumstances, no...

Chili Poppers

Cooking O riginally, this recipe came from one of the blogs I follow, the Weir Family . It is called “Jalapeño Poppers” . I love chili stuff so much and I find this one different and so I tried it. Since it was my first time to do it, I didn’t perfect it. I overcooked the bacon strips but it still taste good, “crunchy bacon strips”  . My husband didn’t find a jalapeño and so I ended up with a long chili, as it was written in the tag, I’m not sure. So this one is really hot  . You can try other chili as it suite you, provided that it can be stuffed with cheese.  Here are the ingredients and procedures: Ingredients: 12 fresh Long Chili Cream cheese Grated cheddar cheese 12 bacon strips DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 250. Cut chili in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, scrape out the seeds and membranes. Leave a little bit of seed if you like it hotter.   In a bowl, combine the cream cheese and the cheddar cheese. Mix with a ...

Dates Palm Tree is everywhere in the Middle East and most of it are bearing it's fruits during this time of the year. . This fruit is yummy, so sweet that it blends well with a tea, a natural sweetener. According to my Arab friends, dates is rich in iron so it's good for pregnant women. This fruit is so versatile that Arabs made some ways to make it more appealing to eat; when ripe, it is use as a filling in breads or cookies. It can also be eaten fresh from the tree, when dried it becomes juicy and crunchy, it is also preserved and sprinkled with some sesame seeds . (See More on Wikipedia if you wish to: (Phoenix dactylifera) ). I was lucky to find a not so tall Dates Palm Tree but with only 3 fruits left in its twig. And I found a heart shape at this angle. A different look at the side But I love most of all is the heart shape ..♥♥♥.. This photo was taken over the weekend during our outdoor fellowship with my Nikon D5000 using a Marumi DHG Anchromat Macro-200(+5)...
