Bamboo Kitchen - Dammam

I often visit my friends in Dammam.  And every time I do, I asked them for new places to visit or new places to dine in.  This week, my friends ask me to try out this new restaurant called the Bamboo Kitchen.  With no hesitation, I quickly answered yes and right then ant there we grabbed a taxi and head off to the said restaurant.

The restaurant serves a Chinese / Asian Fusion cuisine which me and my friends really love.  I took pictures of the menu (see pics below) and their price is an the average side.

Upon viewing their menu, we ordered the following:

Tom Yum Soup

Michty Shrimp

Bamboo Dumplings

Traditional JapChae

Boo Mongolian Beef

Pad Thai

Vegetable Spring Rolls

The food was awesome and everyone loved it.  The Boo Mongolian Beef and Mighty Shrimp was our favorite.  We really wanted that Asian taste because we have been craving it for a while now.

Red Lobster - Dammam

Another month-end came to pass.  Time you de-stress and pig out on some seafood!  I opened google maps and tried to search for a good seafood restaurant, and Red Lobster popped-out.  We wasted no time and headed there immediately.

They have a wide menu selection, but good thing the kabayan waiters made great suggestions for us. After hearing the suggestions and browsing the menu, we ordered the following:

Crispy Calamari Salad - 35SR - Good For Sharing

Wood Grilled Chicken Ceasar's Salad - 25SR - Good For Sharing

Endless Shrimp - Eat All You Can Shrimp - 99SR - Good For Sharing

Roasted Maine Lobsters - 162SR

Lemon-Basil Salmon & Shrimp - 59SR (with free soup, salad, and bottomless drinks)

Sirloin Steak with Cajun Sauce - 70SR (with free soup, salad, and bottomless drinks)

Parmesan Crusted Tilapia - 59SR (with free soup, salad, and bottomless drinks)

The food was great and we all enjoyed it.  Although price of the food is on the pricey side, the taste and serving portions will compensate. The special menu they are offering for 59SR is value for money as it includes soup, salad, 2 side dish of your choice as part of the main course and bottomless drinks. Also, if you love shrimps, I suggest you order their Endless Shrimp. You can have unlimited grilled shrimp and shrimp pasta to your tummy's desire.

Overall, it was another wonderful gastronomical experience and I will definitely go back real soon to try their surf and turf combos.

My Rating:

Food/Taste:  9/10 (delish... the maine lobster and grilled shrimps are the best)

Ambiance: 9/10 (great for group meetings)

Cleanliness: 10/10 (everything is clean)

Service: 10/10. (very helpful crew, no need to ask... they refill automatically)

Establishment:  9/10 (easy to find and accessible)

Price:  8/10 ( mostly on the pricey side but servings are big sized)

Overall:  9/10

Steakhouse Dammam

We are craving for steak... And we heard that there is a restaurant that really have the best steaks here in Saudi Arabia. Its name is "Steakhouse". Since we are in Dammam right now, we tried to look for its branch here. After searching by GPS, we finally found it... It's along Prince Mohammed Bin Fahd Road in Ash Shati, Al Gharbi, in Dammam. Quite difficult to find if you're not familiar with the area.

The restaurant looks good in and out. The staffs are friendly and most of them are Filipinos. We got seated immediately and started ordering. Both my friends ordered their signature Black Rock Steak, wherein the steak is to be served in a sizzling black rock and at the same time cook it as you prefer then and there. While I ordered the Top Sirloin Steak & Shrimp Skewer Combo. While waiting for our order, we were served with complimentary garlic bread with butter.

And after 15mins, our orders were served. The waiter assisted us on the proper cooking of the Black Rock Steak. Our steak orders comes with any two(2) side dishes of your choice.

They also have a salad bar to compliment your steak.

And the verdict is two thumbs up! Flavorful, juicy, and tender. That's my kind of steak. Definitely recommended for a repeat...

Price is on the high side in this restaurant. Most of their steaks ranges from SR80 - SR125. Aside from their steaks, they also have other dishes, see menu below.

Overall, another great gastronomical experience! This restaurant is definitely highly recommended.

Cleanliness: 9/10 - Clean.

Establishment: 7/10 - with good parking area but it is quite isolated and a bit hard to find if you're not familiar with the area.
