Christina and I were walking around Trinoma when we saw some people taking pictures. The place was designed so beautifully, you could feel that it was christmas! I thought at first that we had to pay for it. But after reading the description on the stand, we went for it.

Well, I always bring my camera so there wasn’t any problem at all. Good thing I’m always ready wohooo! This was a pretty cool idea from Trinoma considering everyone love taking pictures and also we love the holidays!

It was located at the same floor as the cinemas. People can just go there while waiting for the movie. It really is a nice way to reward shoppers. Kudos to Trinoma for this bright idea!

I bet, if you’ve been reading my blog that you’ve already noticed I love Persian food. Just last week, I blogged about Arya Persian Restaurant. I’ve been craving a lot lately for comfort food. I guess this is because of the stress I’ve been feeling these days.

I love the way the restaurant was designed. It has its Indian, Persian, Arabian feel into it. I especially love the chandeliers on the ceiling. I can’t seem to take my eyes off it.

Here are what we ordered:

Chelo Beef Kebab Share (Php 405)

My ever-favorite Persian menu item. Hayyyyy Hossein’s saffron rice is just superb! I can just eat their rice without anything and I would still feel satisfied.

The Chelo Beef Kebab on the other hand is ground beef charboiled with Middle Eastern herbs & Persian Spices. I actually forgot about the garlic & chili sauce already as the ground beef was enough to make me satisfy my craving & hunger! Yummy!

This actually has a solo version which is priced at Php225. Can you keep a secret? I know it isn’t enough for me! hahahaha that was how hungry I was before we ordered food.

Chelo Saffron Chicken Kebab (Php 465)

For chicken lovers, this is Persian version of how chicken breasts should be cooked: marinated with Persian Saffron blend.

I would suggest you dip your chicken on the sauce on the plate so it won’t taste dry. It was good as well but nothing beats the chelo beef kebab! 😀

Fresh Mango Juice (Php 130)

I don’t feel any water was combined with this drink. I loved it! It was very fresh and sweet! 🙂

Tom Yam Goong Share (Php 173)

I wonder why I ordered a Thai dish when we were at a Persian Restaurant hahaha. So I don’t have anyone to blame but myself that I didn’t like this dish. One order of this has 4 pieces shrimp, 2 pieces tomato, 4 pieces of mushroom and lots of soup lolz! That was it! 😛

More pictures here.

It was a very expensive meal, indeed! I don’t feel the cheaper comment from the Shomal staff. They just changed the name. That was all.

This is still one of my comfort food, I just love the food!

I really hope that next time they really open a cheaper version. This is not a valid cheaper version as they claim. It’s as expensive as Hossein. See my post about it here.
