Sunrise Cafe

11.59am 9 May 2006 Tuesday

Last night we went to Sunrise Cafe for dinner. It was supposed to be Kurdish/ Middle-Eastern cuisine and I've to admit that their gyros was pretty good. Their shoestring fries were crisp and addictive too. H liked the tatziki but I thought it was lacking some pizzazz. We're still drooling over the delicious doner kebab in Wilhemshaven. It was a dingy cafe permeated with cigarette smoke, and filled with dubious characters. But the food is so flavourful and delicious, you can almost forget that you're perched on a high-top chair, eating over a styrofoam plate, trying to avoid the remnants left by the previous occupant...

But back to Sunrise Cafe. As we were just starting on our dinner, two ducks, I kid you not, suddenly flew into the alcove and smacked pretty hard against the glass door with a thud. They looked rather dazed as they tottered around the plaza, quacking away. Just to emphasise on how unusual ducks are in the Sonaran desert, there were at least 2-3 cameras snapping away. A middle-aged man with his wife and mother (?) was making kissy noises at the ducks and insisted on feeding them with lettuce and chips. Obviously his country doesn't post huge signs like "No littering - Fine $500" all over like ours.

3 more days to flight! Quite coincidental that Michael is stopping by SG on the way to India and we'll actually meet him when he's on the way back. We're planning to bring him for breakfast, badminton, more food and then pack him into the the plane back to LA, all in 12 hours. Can't wait to bring H around and go eating with MH!
