My holiday destination in Qatar duing Hari Raya Break!

Hi All,

This is my plan on spending my time off here in Qatar for next week during Hari Raya Offday!

We will be heading to northern part of Qatar like Ras Laffan, Al Ghariyah, Ar Ruwaye, Ash Shamli, Az Zuburah, Al Jumaliyah and Bi'r Zekrit for the second day of Hari Raya and as for the Third day of Hari Raya will be the southern part of Qatar, where we will be going to Al Wakrah, Umm Said and Khor A. Unaid.

Here are some information of each location which I will visit soon ...
Ras Laffan Industrial City.

Ras Laffan Industrial City (RLC) is located 80 kms north east of Doha, covering 106 square kilometers. The city hosts an industrial port and several industrial facilities. It provides integrated services to businesses including modern infrastructure, security, fire and safety section, medical center, an environment section and support services area.

A management team appointed by Qatar Petroleum runs RLC. This team works closely in co-ordination with operating companies and governmental bodies and is responsible for developing the land use plan of RLC and providing the services. The team is also responsible for regular monitoring and regulation of the land and marine environment.

During the past year Qatar has continued its climb towards becoming the world leader in the production and export of LNG and at the same time continued along the way to becoming the world leader in the production of Gas to Liquids products (GTL). A world scale gas processing plant is under construction, and others are in planning and/or design.

Ras Laffan Port is considered one of the largest LNG export facilities in the world. The 8.5 sq km port cost more than US$1 billion and became fully operational in 1996 with LNG export capacity of 30 million metric tons per annum.

Proud ti be a Malaysian!

Who says Malaysia made car is not good?
Well at least we can see that Proton & Perodua cars are found available in Qatar's market! Yes, I do some Proton Gen 2, Proton Wira and Proton Waja on the road here...

Truely some of the Malaysian I met here is using Proton cars instead of other brand of car. What I have here is the billboard for the Proton and Perodua advertistment I found when fulling up the company car in Doha.

My wondeful ABC Soup

My second SOUP in DOHA!

This round I had ABC soup, greatly served with CHICKEN instead of PORK RIBS.
Before start cooking or boiling the ABC soup, I have to prepare some ingredient like Potatoes, Carrot, Chicken, Onion, Hot Water and Pot.

Firstly I have to gather all ingredient, wash it, cut the potatoes and carrot into small pieces and chicken as well and wash the onion. Secondly, boil water using the pot ... wait till the water is boiled then next thing is to throw everything I have prepared into the pot to boil between 1 hour to 4 hour with slow fire; remember the longer hour you cooked the soup .. the tastier it will be ... (make sure not over cooked) After cooking it for almost 4 hour with slow fire, my soup is finally ready to served with white rice.


Cheers!
