Vacation - Saltanate Of Oman P5

Another highlight of our stay was of course the food. When we previously stayed at AlWaha hotel, we didn't enjoy their food at all and never thought to venture to the restaurants at AlBandar. I guess by the end of the day we were just too tired to take two steps anywhere so we settled at the restaurants available at the hotel. Fahad was complaining about it and he really hoped the restaurants at AlBandar were much better. I checked them on the net an assured him that they were sounded very promising. Anyway, we really indulged in the yummy very yummy food!!! The first two days we went crazy. We would have 3 big meals, but on the third we settled for two meals and a small snack in between, so we could really enjoy our dinners. There are other good restaurants in Oman, but with the kids, and the long drive (45min) to the City, it wasn't that encouraging, maybe next time when Fahad and I are there alone.
