Mecca Bah

Ole ole ole ole!!!! Exams are finally over… all in all… not too bad I think… could’ve been worse… fingers crossed!! Well anyway so to celebrate the end of exams (or the soon to be ending for some of us)… my beloved housemates and I went out for a nice dinner in Docklands in a restaurant called Mecca Bah… It was actually because I’m leaving soon for Malaysia and the Europeans will be heading back to their respective countries before I return from Malaysia and so we just wanted to have a “last supper”… The restaurant wasn’t bad… Middle Eastern food… I had the Garlic chicken kebab, mjaddarah, yogurt sauce & tabbouleh… It was good, I loved the rice and chicken… but they ruined it with the weird tomato salad they had with it… tried some of my friends’ desserts… the chocolate ice-cream was good and the Pistachio Maamoul was good too… thumbs up for the Spicy lamb & pine nut Boureks; Mussel with harissa, tomatoes & preserved lemon; Flathead fillets wrapped in vine leaves & chargrilled, parsley & artichoke salad; Middle Eastern spiced swordfish kebab, spicy couscous salad; Spit roasted lamb, rocket, yogurt & sumac… from everyone else… so pretty much good reviews for the restaurant…

X-Men: The Last Stand

A little overdue… but anyway… as you all might have know already… the 3rd and last installment of X-Men basically has the return of Jean Grey and the concluding fight between the human-loving and human-hating mutants… Some doctor found a way to suppress the mutated gene in mutants forever aka “the cure” and is making it available for any mutant who wants it… Magneto is using this fact as ammo to get more angry mutants on his side… The X-Men on the other hand have more things to worry about like Jean Grey’s return and the fact that her altre-ego, Pheonix, is taking over… One thing led to another… Jean became Pheonix when she killed the professor… After that Magneto forms an army of mutants to help capture the source of the “the cure” and Storm the new leader of the X-Men brings her group of 6 fighters to stop Magneto… in the end almost everyone important died or lost their powers… For the good of humanity and mutants… Wolverine had to kill Pheonix… I was so upset that Jean died… but it was a good movie… I loved it… So go see it if you haven’t… Cheers…
