Hi all,

 

Hope all is well. Alot were mentioned about the high cost of living in Doha. Can someone share the cost of a decent dinner in a normal restaurant? HOw much does it cost for:

1. a plate of fried rice

2. McDonald - McChicken

3. a small 8 " Pizza

4. a bottle of 1.5 litre mineral water

 

Rgds

Veal is a baby cow - absolutley goregous. I'll have to try baby camel, maybe just a hump or two. My favourite is baby Bambi - delicious with dauphinoise potato and a redcurrant ju.

 

All things being equal, fat people use more soap

#1... you can get fried rice at HOT CHICKEN for QR 12-15 (veg, or chicken, or chinese-style, or mixed, etc.) ... best thing about it = free delivery~!!!

 

me and my colleagues totally depend on HOT CHICKEN delivery for lunch everyday... haha  

 

hmm.. yday I had a taste of camel meat at Souq.. I found the texture more toward chicken than beef.. but the taste of the "baby camel" cooked in some "traditional way" reminded me of tasting plastic after you pour hot water into the PET bottles.. don't know why...

 

does anybody else have the same taste buds as myself? =)

 

By the way, talking about Souq.. does anybody know about the "WIND TOWER"? apparently it's the ethnographic museum on Grand Hamad St near Souq... but it's closed.. according to Marhaba... so, does anybody knows anywhere else to explore wind towers? thx...

camel meat..eeewww, im not that brave..i hope the chicken we had was really chicken..lol...I love their tabbouli there, the best ive tasted so far here..

I agree with you the service their is crap, but with two wriggly toddlers who no doubt drove them nuts, im not one to complain..lol...

The flood was in all that part of the souq, not just al bandar...

I dont know if you would call mcdonalds a decent restaurant, but it will probably set you back 10 riyals for a mchicken..30 riyals for a small pizza, prob about 10 riyals for a drink, and rice would depend on where you ordered it from...ie whetehr its a fast food place from the malls or a restaurant..
