Giveaway Day 13 – Two $40 Vouchers from Crepaway

Crepaway is in for giveaway #13 and their cool people are generously providing two $40 vouchers to be used at any of their branches.

I recently really loved the new items they added to their menu especially the ones with far eastern flavors (Kim Chick Fries anyone?), and for burger lovers they just launched the “Thrilling Raclette Burger” which will be available for a limited time. I tried it yesterday and the first thing I thought about when I was done was wishing to have it permanently on their menu! The burger is made with Angus beef, potato hash brown, a spread of steak sauce, lettuce, tomato, and the right amount of melted Raclette cheese that is added on top by the waiter just as you get served. Needless to say the combination works really good with the beef and cheese doing all the talking while still letting you feel the crispy hash brown and the special steak sauce they used. I highly recommend you try it before the promotion ends.

Anyway enough burger talk! To qualify for the draw, just go to +961’s page on Facebook and interact with the giveaway’s post. Two winners will be randomly chosen and announced tomorrow morning, and I will message them for instructions to claim the vouchers.

The french onion soup at Duo

duo abc

French onion soup is one of the upsides of winter for me. Most restaurants here serve it in regular soup bowls along with croutons, while few other serve it in bread bowl after scooping out the inside of it, and one of these restaurants is Duo (Downtown, Verdun, ABC Ashrafieh, and ABC Dbayeh).

I recently had Duo’s onion soup and found it pretty good. It was thick enough to my taste with the right amount of cheese on top of it, and the portion is relatively big and completely fulfilling. Totally recommended even though it’s a bit overpriced at 15,500L.L but worth the money.

Duo by the way is also quite famous for their rich salad bar priced at 22,000L.L.

Meshtah Dagher – Haret Sakhr

This small kiosk called “Meshtah Dagher” on Haret Sakhr main road has some really great Saj Manakish. For some reason the guy there (Charbel) refers to them as “Meshtah”, which to my knowledge is a kind of bread, while in fact the Manakish he makes are actually called “Mashrouha”. Anyway whatever they’re called, they just taste great!

Charbel is pretty generous with the ingredients, be it zaatar, cheese, or keshk, while the dough is thin and light, the kind that doesn’t make you feel stuffed when you’re done. Definitely worth a try when you’re passing by on a morning.

Remember the World Cup manakish? One of my friends sent me the following pictures he found on Facebook of the bakery that is making those manakish. It is located in Haret Hreik.

Overdoing the World Cup 2010 – III

Looks like someone woke up early today and thought of reworking the traditional Lebanese Manakish to turn them into World Cup Manakish!! (apparently through food coloring substances).
