Slice of Life 7:My first time eating Lebanese food

My first time eating Lebanese food!

It was a Saturday, one of my favorite days of the week. I was happy because my family and I just went shopping at Big C. We were going out to dinner at Indus, a Indian restaurant. But suddenly, plans changed. We had to switch to a nearby Lebanese restaurant called Beirut. I was disappointed. I had never ate Lebanese food before and I didn't want to eat it now. I thought to myself " this was one of our only options, so I have to deal with it." When I entered the restaurant, I immediately got the smell of rotten curry. There was cool breeze flowing from the AC and it was very quite. There was some soft traditional music playing in the background and there were very little customers. The waiter passed out the menu's and I stared and the option of food items. I did not seem to like any of them. The waiter came along and placed a bowl. "What is that?" I asked my dad. "That's Hummus with Pita bread, a traditional Lebanese dish. Taste it, its really nice." my dad replied. "Ok, just a little bit." I gulped. When I first ate it, it tasted really plain and sour. But it had a little spicy aftertaste, that was really cool. "It was really good" I said to my dad. Then the waiter placed a huge plate full of kebabs, fried chicken and lamb, spicy onions, bread with curry and some really good looking salad. " Whoa!!!" I marveled. "Go on,start eating." my mom laughed. All of the food was really delicious. I ate to my heart's content. I also tried mixing different foods at once and it became even better. My most favorite was the fried chicken with spicy onions. In the end, the plate was empty, which was good. Everybody had eaten enough and we were all really sleepy. I never thought that I would enjoy Lebanese food but I was wrong. I might just go there one more time.
