Neo Restaurant

We tried the all-you-can-eat at Neo for 135 QR.  The sushi was good but I still think Sakura at the Ramada is the best.

The croquette appetizer was good and the bread came in a jar.

The dessert was a strawberry mousse thing.

Dumplings at Golden Dragon

I tried the dumplings (14 QR) from Golden Dragon in City Center.  The dumplings were okay but the sauce was not quite right.

Pakistani cuisine at Benzy Restaurant

We were walking around the downtown area and decided to try some Pakistani food at Benzy Restaurant.

prawn masala, fish korma, chilli chicken, daal (lentils), paratha (bread), raita (yogurt)

This banana juice was very much necessary after all the really spicy foods!  I couldn't eat too much and mostly just stuck to rice, bread, and salad.

Glow American Salon Event

The new Glow West Bay location event was so much fun.  They had Cold Stone ice cream being made right there and coffee.  I also got a free hair straightener from the goody bag!  They were doing complementary beauty services as well.  It was completely packed with the women expat community.

La Veranda Restaurant & Cafe

At La Veranda Restaurant & Cafe, there is shisha and other drinks and Arabic food.  What is unique is that there are arcade games brought right to the table!  It was really fun.

Jarir Bookstore and Colour Note

Jarir Bookstore

I brought my acrylic paints and brushes with me but I needed to get some canvases here.  I tried Jarir Bookstore first.

They had a few canvases and certainly looked like a good place to buy canvases but they were pretty much all sold out.  The only thing that remained was some really huge ones and some square ones.  I spoke with one of the sales representatives and he said I could try Colour Note which was nearly and just a few minutes drive.

I did see this cute thing at Jarir Bookstore though!

Colour Note

I drove over to Colour Note and this place is great!  They are located really close to Thai Snack.  They had loads of canvases made of different materials and even had black canvases.  Additionally, there were many other art supplies.  I ended up getting 4 canvases: 36x27cm (30 QR), 46x38cm (36 QR), 50x70cm (81 QR), and 22x16cm (24 QR).  The quality seems pretty decent so far!
