Those three months were perhaps the best in my professional career so far.......Unfortunately my First time overseas journey wasn't so convincing to me due to the lack of clarity in the nature of work i would be handling there.This kept myself busy speculating on the purpose of the travel even while in the flight....But once i landed there ,these speculations were swept away by the sandy winds in Dubai.
Once i came out of the airport,it began to heat up and was quick to move into my uncle's car.We drove into a near by mall and soon i had with me the first food that i was to have from Dubai.A half of grilled chicken along with a bottle of Almarai Guava Juice.Some cans of peach juice was stocked and we drove on.Heat was taking a toll on me though the sun had gone down.This again raised the anxiety on my survival in Dubai.But then i reached my apartment,a sea facing one....and was a huge sigh of relief ,though the sea breeze too had its own share of heat to spread!
The authentic tastes of Arabian food was a secret factor that pushed me towards this journey and i had already marked up places to visit during this visit.The Daily menu was from the company canteen and i should say,being different it tasted good in the beginning .There were separate indian pakisthani srilankan thai and western menus which were exciting to start with and later became a routine affair.Free unlimited food ......this was the best time to experiment and so i went in to the respective canteens.....though i was spotted as the odd one out in the thai canteen, i pretended not to mind it.The pakistani menu always boasted atleast a non veg item,mostly mutton.....right from breakfast till dinner.Their dishes had abundant oil in it and at times oil filled up one fourth the bowl....! Sri lankan lunch had fishes and some of the other curries looked and tasted familiar.The thai canteen again had fish based menu but then most of the items there would be under cooked to our standards!
Malls here leave a mark of pride and extravaganza and people throng here in numbers.The food courts of these malls offer a diverse variety of dishes from several nations.....Most big names in food can be spotted here,that it was near impossible to give a try for each of them.....I opted to be choosy and sometimes the results were too good and at times disastrous!
