Hamster has provide some more fast food from the middle east

19 June 2007

Hello all you readers Hamster has provided some more photos for the blog so I am going to use his words to describe what we are looking at.

This time in the middle east... Doha (Qatar)
If you have not tried a ""Hardee's" you have not lived... i can strongly recommend their thin sliced beef and mushroom bread roll... hmmmm... heaven
;-)
Doha, for anyone who has been there recently will realize it is no longer the pearl fishing place it was in the 60's and 70's, instead now it is the richest country in the world (per capita) and it shows, malls are popping up all over the place and rents for the ex pats who chose to work there are the highest I have ever seen, but to be fair the salaries make up for the rents.
In the second piccy, you will see the state mosque, just a couple of kilometers away from the Emirs palace, anyone who has visited the gulf state will recognise the mosque.

A Couple of English Fast Food Joints

8 May 2007

Well folks this is a more traditional sort of fast food place, although I chose to eat in, mainly because it is hard to eat sticky toffee pudding when walking the streets. in particular when the sand is blowing all over the place.

I really can recommend this place for local fish & chips, if you read the other blog it will be easy to figure out the location but heres a photo to give you a clue.

I though to be fair I should not show bias so here is one of the better known fast food joints in the north east of England

What about this now we go to the Far East

This set of fast food joints is down to my good friend Hamster, the location is MD in Penang, this one is in Queens Bay Shopping Mall. I also attach a photo during Chinese New Year at Kek Lok See temple here on the island, the Temple will be known to anyone who has visited Penang the temple, and is a big tourist draw, but few get to see it adorned in the lights which only go on for special festivals.

Thanks again Hamster

This ones from Malaysia and we show we are not only into one company this time its KFC, but you have to guess the town nearest to the tea plantation where the KFC is located ( answer in other blog)

Please other readers send me some more but dont forget we need a fast food joint and a local place of interest
