The standard of living in Khartoum is getting better day by day (qualifying it at the same time - that doesn't mean I don't mind staying here long term).A number of high range of restaurants and cafes are opening up in the city. One of them is Solitaire. This is a new branch which was near our house. Their first branch was opened quite a number of years back.
Their new menu.
Fairuz was trying to remember all the name of the drinks they served there. Peter was thinking which menu to look at.
Their internal set-up is quite spacious too. Now Fairuz has passed the menu for Nazril to remember all the names.
Ahhhhhh that beaming face - get to leave the house to enjoy the outside world. Otherwise stucked in office from morning till night.
We ordered finger food only - two plates of french fries, one plate of spring rolls (5 pieces for 5 of us) and small size chicken wings.With each of us ordering drinks like banana juice, smoothies, hot chocolates, our total bill came to 102 Sudanese pound. That's US$51. In Malaysia we can order two rounds of such.
A colleague said, the reason for the high cost of living here is because of all this higher standard of living. But at crazy prices.

That's one expensive meal. Indeed they have a higher standard of living compare to here
the food really doesn't look so high in standard...I mean..,doesn't really look tempting like the real high standard food in malaysia, right? =D
borneo - in terms of pricing, yes
nkw@i - only the standard but not the quality. for sudan, it's considered very good d
