Edo's squid

If you’re looking for pizza then this Italian restaurants is not for you. There food is unquestionable. Avoid busy hours as you will wait forever to be seated and it becomes too loud. The service isn’t very friendly, but I would go back again and again for their food. I highly recommend the gazpacho soup, the shrimp pasta - a bit spicy-, the salmon and any fresh fish.

Sí Tapas - RVA

March 20th, 2008

Si

My first impression was “This restaurant must be the best”. I really liked the intimate and cozy atmosphere. Despite Spaniards being famous meat eaters a third of the tapas menu was devoted to vegetarians. We ended up getting a spicy hummus, prawns and exotic mushrooms with lentils and almonds. The hummus was excellent, definitely above average, Jess loved the exotic mushrooms, I thought the prawns were mediocre, the skin was too difficult to remove from the flesh. The dessert was small, but good. The pear was delicious and would have been better coupled with vanilla icecream instead of the tart sorbet… The portions were small, which we both liked, except that for the size they were way over-priced.
Jessica didn’t like how you could see through the frosty glass to the bathroom, but I loved it!

Shamshiry - DC

Shamshiry Resturant

The best Persian restaurant in the United States and Canada. The food is so great and original, it hasn’t been americanized yet. The only problem I found is like most of the Persian restaurants in the USA the sit down place isn’t so appealing! If they had worked on that a little bit it would make a big difference.

Al-Tazaj

January 9th, 2007

Al-tazaj resturant in kuwait

I was passing by “Deek Al-Roomi” to treat my self with shawarma, when I noticed Al-tazaj, a saudi chain, has opened just right infront of it.
I remember I had Faruj once and it was so good, so yesterday I went there to get some good faruj’s, as I remembered. The place decoration wasn’t bad at all for a Saudi chain, but the place atmosphere wasn’t comfortable, so I took my faruj back home where I can enjoy eating it without having people staring at me, thinking that I’m staring at there wives، One man + Two wives + Faruj = Sexy Time!
After my first bite, I was like, damn I must been too hungry to think this rubber-ish chicken was so good! I think this must be the worst faruj I’ve ever had.

Final Note:
Al-Tazaj sucks..

Welcome Aboard 800IS

November 3rd, 2006

Ever since I had used my sister compact camera, I felt the need of getting one. My Canon EOS 20D is doing just fine, but I needed to get something more flexible to carry on with me to dinners and social events.

I started reading some reviews and asking friends about there camera, and finally i decided to get a Leica compact camera, but I changed my mind when I found that it is an exact copy of Panasonic Lumix with different name. A Couple days back I was going through Jacqui blog when I found her post about the Sony N2, I felt in an immediate love with it, and went the day after it to get it from best buy.

It was the only thing I had in mind, but as soon as I got in direct contact with it, I felt that I got coned by the pictures, It looks kind of bulky and the touch screen is full of finger prints -I’m a clean freak-, beside it there was Canon SD800 IS. I stood over there for like and hour or so, I tried both of them, but still not sure what to get - They were at the same price-. The Hot young lady works there recommended me the Canon. At the End I went home with the Sony N2.

Sony N2

When I got back home, I still wasn’t sure about having the N2 along with my Canon family. After 30min, I decided to go back and exchange it with Canon SD800 IS. How I felt after exchanging it? Way much better =). Actually I’m in love with it. I LIKE.

Canon SD800 IS

What made me Exchange the Sony N2 with Canon SD800 IS:
- The N2 looked much bigger than the SD800IS.
- The touch screen N2 has, attracts fingerprint, and it has a space between the LCD screen and the borders, which I think it’s going to be filled with dust over time.
- Sony uses it’s own products -Uses different memory cards-.
- Canon SD800 IS has a face detecting feature, neat ha!
- I’m a Canon guy.

P.S
I’ve got it for $399.9+Tax

Haddaway - What is love
