V Day in Saudi Arabia

As many of you guys do not know Valentine's Day here in Saudi Arabia is not and cannot be celebrated openly. Flower shops are not allowed to sell "Red Flowers" during this day and in worst cases you cannot even wear "Red" (well, that's what they say)
Anyway, for almsot 5 years now me and hubby always look forward to this special occassion whether we celebrate here in Saudi or in any other country. Last year, we were in Budapest and we cracked the winter Valentine's Day with a cold goose liver at  Robinson's Resto.
So, this year we decided to have V Day dinner at Hotel Intercontinental.  So, here are some of the pics:






12 choices for Main Course (Beef, Chicken, Lamb, Fish, Shrimp, Noodles)


They have Roast Beef (Carving Station)

 My Plate!!


 For their dessert station they have cakes, pastries and fruits


Salad with 5 different dressings to choose from

It was indeed a great dinner. Unfortunately, we decided not to bring our "princess" so we could enjoy the night.
