Samak in Dahban

Last week we went with 6 families from the compound to a place about 45 minutes from Jeddah called "Dahbaan" to eat fish at a resteaurant called "3anbarya".. Yummmmmy.. It was my first time to eat fish and I liked it much.

When we reached there it was a surprise for mom's friends that the place is "ga3deh 3arabieh" but mom wasn't surprised because Dad already told her at home. Seems he goes there a lot ha ha!! ;-)

We sat on this ga3deh 3arabieh but it was comfortable and I crawled all over the large floor and my friends were all around me. Mom and her freinds played games and dad's freinds (the Jordanian group) played cards (Tarneeb) and of course dad and his partner won.

Then the fish and shrimps came, and we attacked the food like sharks and finished it within 15 minutes because it was delicious. I sat on the floor in between my mom and Aunt Najla (who always call me "Beeko") and they both started to feed me. Then they ordered tea with mint and uncle Ahmad bought ice cream later for everyone. I tasted a little bit from mom's ice cream and I like it too.

At 7:00pm we went back home and I slept all the way because I had such a fun-filled and eventful day. But of course that meant that at night, I wasn't ready to sleep at my usual time of 8:30pm and so "sihiret" with mom and dad and Jarir, who came over to our house later that night.
