Matter Paneer, Machboos Chicken Rice, and Shish Tawook @ Al Safir Hotel, Bahrain

03.03.2017 Lunch
Al Safir Hotel, Bahrain 
Building 670, Road 2411, Block 324، Juffair, Manama 324

Thoughts: The Mattar paneer is a vegetarian north Indian dish consisting of peas and paneer (paneer is a type of cheese common in India but kind of taste like tofu) in a tomato based sauce, spiced with masala. Often served with rice or bread. But it was really oily, and I just picked up the peas and (paneer) "tofu" to try it.
Chicken Machboos (Bahraini Spiced Chicken and Rice) is really very Bahraini, it is the National Dish of Bahrain! Coincidentally, this is the last meal at the hotel; must be a nice ending.
Shish taouk is a traditional marinated chicken shish kebab of Middle Eastern cuisine. It is widely eaten in Turkey, Azerbaijan, Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, and Israel. A similar dish in Persian cuisine is the traditional jujeh kabab. I think it should go well with Arab Bread and Hummus! 
But today's lunch was suppose to be light for me as I already had 2 breakfast in the morning, one at the hotel and the other at the Gahwat Haji (Souq at Manama city). 
Flight is still a long way in the evening!
