Bukno and Bebot's World

"Start with hope. We went from a shitty team... to one of the all-time best dynasties.  All you needed was one little match... to start that whole fire."  ~ Michael Jordan  (The Last Dance)  Now I know why Michael Jordan is The Greatest of All Time 🤩  The Last Shot - NBA Finals 1998  (Chicago Bulls vs. Utah Jazz)  Standing Up Against Utah Jazz Fans

We visited this amazing mangrove park in Abu Dhabi last 22nd of February, 2020. The mangrove park is less than 30 minutes drive from Abu Dhabi downtown. Best to visit during winter and visitors should wear comfortable footwear as it is a 2 kilometers boardwalk. (Actual video in the end 😎)  

Cheap and Cheerful Bukno and I chance upon this small eatery along Al Falah Street. The name “Goto King” was familiar as we thought it’s the same Goto King in Dubai. Afterwards, we realized that the name of the eatery is “Nice Goto King Cafeteria” and is not the same management as Goto King in Dubai. Parking space was quite difficult as there were roads closed due to constructions. Once we arrived in the eatery, we were greeted by a staff. Later on, we came to know that he is one of the owners. His name is Mr. Usman and his co-owner is Mr. Mohammed. Both of them from Bangladesh. While waiting for our orders, Mr. Usman told us that the Mr. Mohammed was previously employed by Goto King Restaurant in Khalidiya Mall but it closed down.

Good Value for Money  My husband, Bukno, highly recommended Al Ritaj Restaurant for affordable but tasty chicken biryani and chicken 65.  The Electra St. Branch is a bit difficult to find but I think the easiest landmark is behind Etisalat Bldg. on Airport Road beside Alam Supermarket. The restaurant is like a hole-in-the-wall. Once you park in front, a staff will approach you immediately ask for your order. We decided to dine inside the restaurant. I would commend the staffs as they are very attentive and ready to assist. Restaurant Chicken 65 Chicken Biryani "Peanut Sauce" as Bukno called it. It's tasty but really spicy. Food = 4   😋 Price = 4  😋 Service = 4  😋 Location = 3  😋 Ambience = 3  😋

Budget-Friendly Comfort Food Bukno and I loved that Pinoy Lomi Restaurant and Bakehouse offers affordable and tasty comfort foods like "lomi" and "lugaw". The Tourist Club branch is not that spacious but it will give you a feel of typical carinderia (diner) in Philippines. Unlimited Lugaw = 10 Dhs + 5% Vat Lomi = 10 Dhs + 5% Vat Food = 4   😋 Price = 4  😋 Service = 3  😋 Location = 3  😋 Ambience = 3  😋

Enjoyed Max's salu-salo meal today with Bukno.  AED 89 (inclusive of tax) is worth your money as it includes 2 pieces  Max’s fried chicken, 1 sweet & spicy crab, 2 skewers of BBQ chicken, sinigang na salmon, fried eggplants, steamed okras, green mango, fresh watermelon and rock melon, unlimited rice & bottomless drinks.  Perfect meal for two! To top it off, the staffs Arnel and Angela were very accommodating and made sure we get what we need. (Photo grabbed from Max's Restaurant website)
