Lunch was at the Mecca Bah in Brissy, in the "Emporium" complex in the Valley (Fortitude Valley). The food was excellent, we all ordered entrees but lots of trading of morsels and tastings went on. I ordered the Bastilla, Moroccan Chicken pastries, shredded chicken in a light phylo pastry, they were dusted with cinnamon and powdered sugar (icing sugar) and at first bite a bit of a shock, but it worked really well, although very rich, good thing we shared.
The other entrees were Spicy Turkish Kofte and Sweet Potato Felafels, all delicious.
we then went on with a selection of main dishes, Mussels with harissa, tomatoes and preserved lemon, served in a tagine and Turkish Pizzas, the lightest ever boat shaped pizza bases and fresh tasty toppings, a delight to eat.
There are 3 of these restaurants in different cities, they even have their own website.
http://www.meccabah.com, which I don't seem to be able to get to link up here, but it you google it its a cinch to find.
Sis insisted that we have shared desserts of the Sticky Date and banana Pudding with Date and Vanilla Ice-cream. Heaven.
We then toddled across the road to "Freestyle" where they have the most wonderful decadent desserts imaginable, and watched the passing parade of lusciousness, we couldn't cope with another dessert but ordered coffee and liqueurs.
So guess what we had for dinner tonight, yep, thats right. Not a thing! And as we have a date with son for lunch tomorrow brecky will be a light affair as well.
