If you are walking around bukit bintang, passing by F88 you will not missed 3 foreign men at the entrance of Al Amar Express, selling homemade Turkish Ice Cream and performing some simple tricks attracting attention of shoppers especially tourists.After walking pass them and watching them perform ample of times, I finally decided to give them a chance by purchasing a chocolate flavour Turkish Ice Cream. As usually they did their little tricks before handing the icy cold ice cream to you. In term

Buoyed by its success at Pavilion, Al-Amar has launched an "express" branch outside Fahrenheit 88, offering what could be considered a fast food version of Lebanese cuisine. Steamed fava beans with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic & parsley. A surprisingly hearty, seemingly healthy recipe to warm and fill our tummies. Minced lamb wrapped in bread with hummus, onions & pickles. Easy to eat, without the messiness of Western burgers and sandwiches. But then, this isn't half as satisfyingly juicy and

I love eggplant, and therefore love mutabbal. It's essentially mashed grilled eggplants with some oils. At Al-Amar Express, the mutabbal is coarsely mashed and topped off with olive oil and pomegranate pulp. The earthy flavour with the aromatic olive oil goes well together, and the sweet pomegranate pulp is an added surprise.The bread is coarse and dry, but holds the mutabbal very well.They also serve a selection of fresh pastries that are mostly quite juicy and delicious.

This looks like a typical thoughtless salad, with watercress, spinach, cherry tomatoes, snow peas, and rocket with vinaigrette; but there's one ingredient that makes it all pop - fried haloumi cheese.The cheese tastes a little bit sharp and salty like something between cheddar and parmesan, but softer in texture and melts into creaminess. Lots of fried haloumi litters the salad, defying all attempts to eat healthy. Well, at least you'd still eat delicious while being partially healthy.

Manakeesh is pretty much the Lebanese response to pizza. I don't remember which one we ordered, but the meat tasted like medium-rare minced beef. It was salty, heavily smelled of beef, and was moist. Cheese was abundant but unlike pizza, the texture is in shreds and not melted into a bed of cheese.The dough was a little too dry though, and when it got cold, a lot of the flavours died out. Perhaps the cheese and the dough was too dry to retain enough moisture to sit well in room temperature for t

Since wraps use flatbreads which look thinner, I like to tell myself it's lower is carbs and is therefore healthier. I don't know how true that is, but I'll just leave it at that.One of my favourite wraps is the shawarma at Al-Amar Express - the beef is deceptively juicy. Despite being quite firm, it's easy to chew on, which is very important for me since my teeth are sensitive. Plenty of onions and yoghurt sauce to keep it moist and full of strong flavours. I understand there's supposed to be h

Al-amar Express is situated right on Jalan Bukit Bintang outside of the Fahrenheit 88 mall. Walking on the street, you will not miss the bright interior heavily accented with their signature red and cream combination, not to mention the constant stream of patrons.We arrived at the outlet on a friday night, after I’ve made a minor dent on my wallet having shopped at Pavilion (dangerous place, that one). A bottle of Chateau Musar Jeune White was prompted opened. Fridays are indeed for clinking of

Never knew they have lunch set over here. Feel like want to eat chicken on that day and best is when the words Half Chicken appeared. The half chicken here comes with fries and some bread. The chicken skin taste very crispy and the meat is soft. But after awhile you will feel the chicken is quite dry. Due to the wrong sitting posture, I couldn't finish clear off the chicken.

Craving for a bite of Sharwarmas like Iron Man after a serious war? Al-Amar Express, located in main entrance of Farenheit 88 along Bukit Bintang; makes it easily spotted by everyone with their shining red logo; serving authentic Lebanese cuisine to every customer. Back to where I was; well, it's necessary to go through a war then only you can enjoy the bites of Sharwarmas. You can have it any time of the day by visiting their outlets. I would say it is perfect to go during lunch; quick break in
