Figs.

Array of mixed Western desserts.

Raspberry tart? didn't fancy them.

I guess this was trio of aubergines cooked in arabic spices. Lots of saffron there.

Varieties of spring rolls. There were Cheese fillings.

Bread rolls.

Pendesal and Chicken Soup

Right... what was this called? It's vine leaves stuff with rice and minced meat. This is a traditional dish in the middle eastern country. Greek as well. Dolma? very earthy and filling.

Salad station. lots and lots of pickles!

Can you see Hommous there? Youghurt dips too...

Our snack we had white waiting for Solat. Cream Cheese, Crackers and Grapes. Not too arabic is it?
