Buffet of the Sultans

As promised, I will now give the details of my great dinner at the "Buffet of the Sultans." As most of you know, I am not a big fan of buffets. But in this case how could I say no. This was the Buffet of the Sultans after all. Sultans are these great, larger than life characters who live in lavish palaces with many wives and faithful servants. If this buffet was good enough for them, It would certainly be good enough for me.

The "Buffet of the Sultans" was located in the Al-Shakra Restaurant and Cafe. Which looks strangely like a Mexican food place at Christmas. Should have been my first clue.




When we entered the buffet of the sultans we were accosted with the sights and sounds of the rich Arabian cuisine. Where else in the world could you get a meal like this?



OK, so some of my less intrepid sailors went the safe route and ordered things off the menu. The Buffet of the Sultans, as it turns out, doesn't have the names of the buffet dishes in English. This made some of the crew shy away from the buffet route, and some of us even more determined to try out the best of what Kuwait had to offer.

I was one of the adventurous few who decided to throw caution to the wind and face the Buffet line head on. As I gazed over the colorful array of delicious entrees, I came upon a dish with a great looking red sauce. Unable to read the sign under it I decided for myself that is was some type of white meat covered in a marinara sauce.

When I got back to my table I luckily decided to scrape away some of the sauce from the meat to find out what is was I was eating. Click on the picture below and share in the horror of what I found under the sauce.



Needless to say, I threw away what was on my plate and abandoned the buffet for the rest of the night. I did however attack the dessert bar which seemed fairly safe. I found these delectable treats and devoured them like a ravenous Mongolian.



Not really sure what they were, but they were delicious. One tasted like an Oreo cookie and the other one was a chocolate, caramel, mousse, female orgasm creating concoction in a plastic cup.

So that was my dinner, the good and the bad. I did take one more picture from the mall that I meant to add to my last post. I think this company has figured out the perfect way to sell crappy laundry soap. Just make a slogan besotwing the virtues of said crappy laundry soap. Mission accomplished. Talk to you all soon!
