A person who is adventurous at heart is either a traveler or a food lover or both.
If you have what and where to eat as your priority when you plan to travel, Salalah
in Oman is the place for you. In this most extraordinary place in the Gulf area,
Salalah is the place for your search of what and where to eat.
Among the places of what and where to eat, Kargeen is definitely worth mentioning.
It cannot be pinned down to be called a restaurant, bistro or coffee-house,
but it is probably a combination of all three. With three outlets in the city,
the Kargeen serves French onion soup and Salade Nicoise and it also serves humous
and mezze. It is as popular for pizza as it is for Chicken Tikka.
Where you eat also matters a lot. The seating arrangements in the Kargeen remind
you of a Bali or Java restaurant than a typical Arab restaurant. Located in
the Madinat Qaboos Shopping Center courtyard, this eatery consists of huge tents
under which benches full of cushions covered in Bedu woolen weavings are ready
for guests to sit and partake of some of the most amazing blends of food and
drink.
According to some patrons, the chocolate fudge cake covered in a Salalah-special
hot chocolate sauce wins the battle single-handedly. Another what-to-eat item
is the legendary camel's milk which has supposedly all the qualities you can
expect from a dairy product. Camel's milk is the traditional source of strength
of the Bedouins. It is healthier than cow milk and is half as fatty. Also, the
sugar content is less. This makes camel milk perfect for diabetics. This food
item is available everywhere in the city.
Sea food is another category of food that one cannot do without on a visit
to Salalah. The variety of the sea food is mind blowing. What more to eat in
Salalah? The samboosa, Kargeen salad and the New Orleans steak with sheeshas
to smoke into on the side are the usual scenes in many food joints in Salalah.
