ARAB BUCKS



Arab Bucks is not the Egyptian version of Starbucks, although; I have been told they do good coffee and cake.

Our table was pre-booked by friends, this is something we always do when eating here as it gets very busy in the evening. Don’t worry too much if you don’t, they will always find you a table.

Our waiter for the evening was Mario, drinks order was taken first and we all had separate bills (11 of us) so he had his work cut out already. A bottle of red wine ordered by me, this was served at room temperature and not from the fridge, so far a good start.

Menus were handed out and we we left to see what we were to order.

There’s loads to choose from so you will always find something. The only down side for me is that they serve frozen chips not homemade chips; everyone knows the rule, homemade chips with steak. Anyways I very rarely order anything that comes with chips and today I went with spring rolls to start and Fettuccine chicken and added fresh mushrooms and extra garlic and garlic bread for my main.

All the starters arrived together and then there was silence 😆, spring rolls were delicious, crispy on the outside and vegetables inside which were full of flavour and served with dark soy sauce. Highly recommended.

Starters cleared away and then we didn’t wait long for our mains. Again, all mains arrived at the same time. My fettuccine chicken was mediocre, it’s chicken in a cream sauce. I added tons of black pepper and still it was bland even with the added fresh mushrooms and extra garlic, and the chicken was tough. It was edible but nothing to write home about. Maybe next time I will ask to add mixed peppers and onion to give it more flavour.

It appeared that everyone enjoyed their meals as all plates were empty including mine which normally is a good sign.

No desserts were ordered as we had a birthday cake.

When the bills were presented they were all correct.

All in all a very pleasant evening, good food, good company and excellent service, well done Mario.

This is a restaurant I visit regularly so there will be lots of reviews here.

China town restaurant



After a fairly long discussion with friends over which Chinese to visit in Naama Bay (as there is a choice of 3 now) we finally chose China Town Restaurant in Naama Bay.

We pre-booked a table for 5 (there was no need as we were the only ones in there).

After spending at least 20 minutes looking at the vast menu we all decided what we were going to order. We were going to get a few dishes and have a free for all but instead we all order our own food.

We ordered;
Starters:
1 x Chicken & Sweet Corn Soup - better than the UK
2 x Shrimp Tempuras - nicest they’ve ever tasted, nice crispy batter.
2 x Chicken Dumplings (1 steamed & 1 fried) - very well flavoured, would choose fried next time.
2 x Vegetable Tempuras - a mixture of sweet potato, courgette, onion, green pepper, tomato, mushroom.
2 x Prawn Crackers - a small portion for the price.

Mains:
2 x Sweet & Sour Chicken Served With Jasmine Rice - delicious although the batter wasn’t crispy which is to be expected underneath all the flavourful sauce.
3 x Chicken Pad Thai (1 without nuts 🥜) - very tasty, was missing scrambled egg and bean sprouts. 1 of us didn’t like it but they normally order a rice dish over a noodle dish so went out of their comfort zone and failed.
1 x Egg Fried Rice - egg fried rice is egg fried rice.
1 x Shrimp Massaman Curry - full of flavour and packed with shrimps just a bit watery.

Desserts:
1 x Fried Banana - tasty and crispy. Shared between 2.
4 x Fried Ice Cream - too big, would be better if the balls were smaller!! The coating wasn’t hot but the honey and raisins played a nice part.
We did order fried pineapple but they didn’t have any.

The food was excellent and we all said we would return (although we have many more restaurants to try before we do).

On the expensive side but portion size was huge.

Didn’t get pictures of the mains as we were all eager to eat the food.
