Is Tofu banned in Qatar?

Tofu is also available in Shoprite Matar Qadeem.

Hi edifis...not upto anything these days...just lying low...:) yeah started playing tennis now after a break during ramadan... whats up with you...around or still out???

Hi! HGL what are u upto these days?....still playing tennis? the weather is improving!

May be it (tofu) was not that widely available some 2-1/2 years back...:)

I like Paneer more than tofu. Try cooking the same tofu dishes using Paneer or Peynir cheese instead.

Man its everywhere, check the chilled section in all Family Food Centers they have it, most of stores in Souq has it also. I see it also in Al Meera Mansoura.... and Carrefour...

Other than the Family Food Center, you also can buy tofu at the Jakarta Indonesian Market across from the airport. If you get there at the right time, the tofu is still fresh and hot. Another Indonesian market where you can buy tofu is Qatindo, across from the downtown bus terminal.

you can stir fry it...

or it depends on how you want it to be, spicy, sweet, saucy or salty...whatever...its a great substitute for meat speacially if you are on a diet or gyming so that you will gain lots of protein.

WOW!!!

that sounds really smart....

I just love the way you put it...long live for the Tofu business in Doha and QL too!

thanks

ollie

whenever you feel like coming....just send me a message and I will get everything done....

I know, the littlest things become the biggest triumphs when accomplished in Qatar.

Mandi

So when is this dinner that you're inviting us all to?

:-D

YOU GUYS ARE GENIUS!!!!

I GOT MY TOFU!!!!

IT SHOULDNT BE A BIG OF DEAL AND ITS FUNNY THAT IT SOUNDS HELPLESS BUT I AM HAVING SO MUCH FUN....

LOVE!!!!!!

Pitstop,

I am damn serious about this Tofu and I need to have it this week.

Please help me.

Thanks!

I'm not so sure you can buy it raw - but maybe they can prepare the dish for you :P

But if you are serious - I can ask.

newbie,

Sorry for the late reply. I know Lulu should have it coz it Dubai you find tons of it. But my friend came to Lulu and look for it and he didnt find it...I better check it out myself.

Thanks for the message

you can also get tofu from lulu hyper and shoprite.

i usually get mt weekly supply from there as i'm a big fan of tofu dishes.

in lulu, it;s located at the open fridge section facing the cold cuts counter and at shoprite....its where the cheeses are.

Diet Shop is expensive, yes. So, South Beach or Dr. Atkins' dishes may be of more popularity.

In fact, any healthy diner will be a good idea. Most of the customers may be expats, not necessarily locals.

Salam

I checked Diet Shop and its expensive and it seems to me that things there are non movers....sorry for the triple post...office connection getting nuts!

There is a very few healthy restaurants here (for health-conscious eaters). Diet Shop is the only one I know and feel comfortable with, to some extent.

Salam

ollie, why triple post! :/

BTW, happy we used to cater south beach diet in US...do you think it will be a hot here in Qatar if I start a side job?

Yeah dat one, the last scene is quite funny. Thats giving in to temptation!

notfromhere,

the meal is just getting started...why start with the dessert?

Ooh, good movie. Johnny Depp :-)

so who plays Johnny Depp?

Happy Happy, oh yeah I kind of forgot how it all started lol!

Ok, forget the dang tofu. Pass the CHOCOLATE please!

Oh sorry, I am a non practicing Christian and I lost track of everything...

So that only means that I have lots of time to prepare for a bounty and sumptous easter celebration...

is that fair enough?

Lent and dark Chocolate reminds me of the film "Chocolat"

You're fasting for one more week, and I still have a month, ahead of me, of strict diet!

Yuck or what?

Salam

Althought your urgency is impecable but first come, first serve is not the name of the game. I will still make a chocolate mousse tomorrow and that will never change

Me, I'm fasting, Ollie. It's Lent and Easter Sunday is in a week.

Mandi

Notfromhere,

Its still food and we are all on the same page still yet

I know, I was picking on your earlier post.

"Don't I get credit for being the first to answer?", you said.

Salam

I know, I know (gritting my teeth.) Only a week to go, and I HAVE been good! No chocolate and lots of prayers.

Mandi

Who's on fasting?

oooooops, sorry Mandi :-/

Fasting is a whole lot better, spiritually and physically. No more food talk for me!

Salam

I am making dark chocolate mousse cake tomorrow...

I will courier you the chocolates....

or you can come to our office...which is pretty tough

Happy Happy

Huh?? I didn't say anything against your choc's.

Believe me, I would NEVER deny anyone their chocolate! :-D

I was just laughing at this thread. It went downhill in a hurry!

Aaauuughghg, don't talk about maniacs. It's Lent and I WILL kill you for some chocolate!

Mandi

I answered more questions than you did. One bar of chocolate won't hurt.

Diets turn people to sugar-crave maniacs!

Salan

I thought of that!...but it should have been written PMs and not PMS...which is a woman's thing...

you know what I mean?

LOL,

not from here...I aint mad...

do I sound like one?

I am sorry if i give an impression like that...

I am very cool...

just to tell you how cool I am...I am in the office right now...

I know everyone will message me and ask me what the hell Am I doing here...

PMs, lol. That's "private messages."

Mandi

Yeah...Filipino stores are potential Tofu Hub but most of them are sold out easily because they cant stock that much coz it gets bad really easily...so sad

Who's on first!

ollie, calm down :-)

sorry i missed that....

yeah chocolates are always better than anything else...

so true....melamine is the one you are talking about....

I hope it wont happen here

Of course chocolate boxes..:) read the title of my previous post.

Salam

Is that the russian for YES?

what are the boxes for?

I will give your salary in monetary form and not on boxes.

PMS...what do you mean?

Da :-)

when buying tofu better ask the seller where it came from. If its from china then beware. Remember the babies who suffered and was killed by their milk product.

Yes you can have it at megamart.

[img_assist|nid=50852|title=hmm|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

Make sure my office has a few small boxes in each corner, please, I may think about the position, only then. lol

Salam

Now you guys are talking!!!

I love Jap Food!

YOU HAVE TO ASK FOR PMS.

sorry there must be some words missing on your letter.

I didnt get the meaning just send me a PM if it is something not to be read publicly

Happy Happy, few days before we went to Oishi, i went there with son for lunch. I order Mackerel Bento and the side dishes was tofu with some kind of sauce. And that tofu is very yummy ...

Hail Happy!!!!

You are the best directory service in Qatar.

I will build you a company and You will be the brain behind the information system apart from being the CEO

Aisha,

Very Creative! Never saw that coming...

We should go and do grocery together.

and share asian dishes together, My family holds a catering business in the US and its hard not to cook on grown up kitchen where everything is there.

Ollie

eating meat, it is easier.

My thoughts are my own, but I doubt my Mum would agree with some of them.

Royal Plaza is down at Sadd area, right hand side from Soheim Bin Hamad St.

Salam

Al sadd road

I've been looking for tofu since forever!! Thank you all!!I used it to decorate some of my sweet dishes with it, if I couldn't find it I would put the sugar syrup found in packets inside the "cream caramel" ready to cook boxes..you know these.. It tastes nothing like tofu though hehehe.. I have no idea why I replace it with it :-D awww I'm crazy, anywayyy...

The Pie Filling\topping is also difficult to find sometimes..I even end up putting jello and canned fruite on top of my cheese cake :-)

Qatar Geography 101....where is Royal Plaza?

Wanda,

Dumb Question. Family Food, is that a supermarket? where is that?

sorry,

Ollie

I didn't see any, the last time I was there. Next time I'll ask.

Salam

Yeah, the abundance of Oyster Sauce and Noodles are just for now. We are not sure if this will be the same case next week. Perhaps most of the sauces and noodles are either from Malaysia or Indonesia.

Me likey!!!!

Oishi Sushi is on 2nd Floor of Royal Plaza.

Salam

pitstop, so next time i go to oishi i can buy tofu to go then ?

Pitshop,

I love japanese stuff!!! Where is this Fabulous Oishi Sushi Shop? I need to scout the best asian food!!!

Thanks!

Salam

Family Food at the chiller section

chinese foodstuffs?oyster sauce and noodles are in abundance,the more exotic ones like baby turtle and century eggs,are only avaialable in dxb.so you layki layki chinese food eh?lol

Indorachel,

WOW!!! that's the bomb!!!!

I love that Idea please PM with his cel number and I will call him tomorrow ASAP!

Can you do that for me?

and do you have any idea how much that is?

You want Tofu imported from Japan - visit Oishi Sushi :P They have a lot ... (promoting it again)

If you want Tofu in boxes, you can get them from MegaMart - they sell loads of Asian products.

Ollie.,...I sometime make my own but most of the time buy from my indo community....there is a guy in family food center who sell tofu n Tempe....he work in customer service.... One u know him n order from him.... He actually deliver to ur house.... His name is Eko......

LOL!

but those are clothes? I am talking about food...

Its pretty sad coz there are alot of decent chinese manufacturers and to ban things from China is like making the whole department store shelves lying empty coz technically most of the products are chinese made or manufactured from China.

ban on chinese products here in qatar? i really cant say yes.even zara,h&m,splash sell shirts/goods imported from china.

i heard theyre banning chinese toys(think well and hard),but well what do i know?lol

ollie, we have to earn the dinner invite by answering questions?

Don't I get credit for being the first to answer?

shoeaddict,

Although I share the same addiction and possibly we will sharing the rehab house due to this addiction. Sadly, Landmark sells no Tofu even the Soy Milk are not there.

Is there a ban on chinese products here in Qatar?

Notfromhere, there you go...another tough one...I will just keep this thing coming

notfromhere,

I know! You have to give me some credits, I will be cooking for everyone. So the questions have to be harder than the first one.

tofu,you can buy tofu at the indo grocery near alfardan centre.they also have tofu at irani grocery in soq al asiri.

markhiya?ummm,try carrefour landmark?

Uh oh, now the questions are getting harder ;-)

No,Tofu is in a different section. But in my mind, the name always triggers “Toffee". You see, now I'm misleading you..:)

No, I am only a humble QL user, with some free time on hand, today. Your questions are easy to answer.

Salam

wow!!!

Thank you guys, I appreciate it.

Now I have to cook for everyone.

Are there any nearby shops at my place here in Markhiya that sells Tofu?

Thanks!

Korean store at Nasser street? There, you can find tofu of different sizes.

megamart is located between Ramada signal and Jaidah flyover. It is in a shopping center called "the centre" original name huh. Look for it behind the KFC.

I had it yesterday. You can usually find it in the refrigerated section at Megamart.

Happy,

Are you the administrator of QL. You seem to know everything. LOL. Btw, where is mega mart?

What is tofu doing at the Chocolate section?

Tofu is available at MegaMart, along with Scottish plain short breads, Ferrero Rocher, Guylian, Merci and more..:))

Sorry, I was listing my favorites there.

Salam
