An early Christmas lunch was held before everyone heads out for their winter holidays. Lunch was organized at the newly opened Hadramawt Kitchen on Lavender Street. (Nearest parking is at the multi-storey carpark at Block 10 Bendemeer Road.) However, it was mad stuffy. The two split-AC-units are insufficient against the kitchen heat and the afternoon sun. There’re currently no ceiling fans or any sort of standing fans either.
Yemeni food with a mezze platter was right up our stomachs. Had the mezze platter that came with all the favorites of baba ganoush, hummus, eggplant shakshuka, and pita bread. Absolutely delicious. They do hummus in the way that all of us like it. I think we prefer Arabic and Middle Eastern hummus to Greek styles. Also ordered falafel and cauliflower pops. Hadramawt Kitchen got all their flavors right and well-balanced.
Had two huge mandhi platters of carbs and protein, with each platter holding one lamb shank, 500g of mutton and half a chicken. There's no better fun than sharing carbs with like-minded friends. Conversation flowed and before we knew it, it was 3pm. Time to head off.
There was only the muhallebi for dessert. I passed. It's milk pudding. I'll have such an upset stomach within 10 minuets of having even a spoonful. Naaaah. We went home with a box of baklava! Wahhh. Luckily these pieces are baked small. Nobody finishes them in one sitting. We ate them over a few days, but of course the husband ate most of it. Yes, it's ridiculously sweet, but in this cute size, eating one isn't too bad with a strong cup of black coffee.
