Sahara Tent Restaurant Jalan Ampang

Long time didn't visit any Middle East Restaurant , this Monday i been to this Sahara Tent Restaurant to enjoy my dinner. Sahara Tent Restaurant already have more than 15 years history in Malaysia. It have located in Jalan Ampang, Bukit Bintang and Shah Alam. 

There have many choice in their restaurant. You can order started with soup, salad and entree vegetarian or non vegetarian. Then can continues order the main course like meat with rice or bread, fish with rice or bread, BBQ also have. Last you can order the dessert and others. 
Sahara Tent Restaurant Parking area Actually this parking area is serve for the customer those shopping at the supermarket in front. Due to night time the supermarket already closed. So it open for all close by restaurant.
This drawing the place is in Iraq. It showing the old Iraqi town view and the people culture.
Tashrib (Iraqi) - Arabian bread soaked in the gravy tomatoes,black lemon, and chickpeas topped with lamb. Take the soaked bread eat together with the lamb meat, it was so delicious. The bread already soaked all the soup, when the time you eat was nice. But if this meal served more little bit hot, will be more nice.
Kozi (Iraqi) قوزي  - A tender of lamb shank served with the rice. The way cooking was a bit different with what i watch in youtube. My friend told me that, there have many way to cook this. The main point of this dish is the lamb meat.  I tried and the taste was not bad.

Experience with MRT

Mass Rapid Transit,better known with its acronym "MRT" is a planned 3-line mass rapid transit system in the Greater Kuala Lumpur (part of Klang Valley region) conurbation in Malaysia.
The MRT Sungai Buloh–Kajang line is consider Phrase 1 and Phrase 2 project for Mrt Corp. Since this year July already stared service. 

I have change to try in during last weekend. Honestly to said that, from my house to take MRT really not so convenient. Because i have to take the Kelana Line to the MRT Interchange station like Pasar Seni. But if you are in somewhere else which close by the station , it really good. 

The first stop i use the Kelana Line to Pasar Seni and also walk around this area. Really long time didn't come over Petaling Street ( China Town ) . This place not much change and it also still have a lot tourist come and visit. 



There also have a lot of blog or page recommend the food line around this area, but i only can try it out next round. These i feel i want to have Nandos ask my Bucnh. This Nandos outlet in Petaling Street area i think more than 10 years or 15 years history . 

After the Brunch and walk around China Town , we carry on to the next stop by using MRT.
Second stop started from Pasar Seni Station to Mutiara Damansara Station. It's cost for RM 3.40 by using touch n go card. 
The MRT station platform really clean and the direction also clear.
In train it look wide and the sign of the road map are showed clear. From Pasar Seni Station to Mutiara Damansara Station only took around 15 to 17 min , then you can reach your destination. 


Near by this Mutiara Damansara Station you can easily to exit to The Curve Shopping mall, Ikea Damansara, Tesco Damansara, Royale Chulan Hotel and others building located nearby. Out from the station , there have clear direction sign to show how to exit those shopping mall and not so far only.

We almost spend 4 to 5 hours to walk around this area and also shop some clothing at the shopping mall nearby . 

After done shopping we turn to the next stop that back to Bukit Bintang Area. From there to Bukit Bintang area cost RM 3.30 and it took 15 min only . In Bukit Bintang Station , there have many direction signboard to show which shopping mall you have to exit. It also very convenient and it all underground. We carry on ours shopping at this area and have a movie at Time Square.

If you close to MRT station, it really convenient to excess your destination and you also can save sometime for traveling time and the time looking for parking space.
