We went back twice in two weeks because we had so much fun the first time. It was hot and humid but in a good way. Kinda like those old movies you see, the actors had an oily gleam because the weather was so hot: Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn in African Queen<\/em>.<\/div>\n
For the mains, we had:<\/div>\n
Creole Chicken ($11.90)<\/strong><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
Chicken Shawarma ($12.90)<\/strong><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Beef Shish Kebab ($14.90)<\/strong><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Cecelia let me taste her Creole Chicken<\/strong> and it was tasteless. You can taste the grill on it – but that’s it. Hookerlily didn’t let me taste her shawarma<\/strong>–that sounds wrong–but THANKS for making this review complete! My Shish kebab<\/strong> was tough and tasteless if you don’t dip into the sour cream sauce.<\/div>\n
We ordered sides:<\/div>\n
Cheesesticks ($7)<\/strong><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
Fried Chicken<\/strong><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
Calamari<\/strong><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Ice Cream ($3.50 for first scoop +$1 for another scoop)<\/strong><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The pictures above may not represent the real quality since I always eat and forget to take photos! Haha. The sides were all average to poor. The cheesesticks<\/strong> weren’t hot enough; the calamari<\/strong> was sinewy, tough to dissever; what could go wrong with fried chicken<\/strong>?; I could buy a tub of marigold ice cream <\/strong>with $5, which they served only 2 scoops.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
We all had daiquiri<\/strong> ($13) and I had margarita<\/strong> the last time. Pineapple daiquiri<\/strong> was very refreshing but the alcohol content varies from glass to glass.<\/div>\n
The strawberry shisha<\/a> smelled so lovely and cost about $18. But we didn’t order it this time.<\/div>\n
The service was actually great if you can get their attention. I like the uncle server and the Malay\/Filipino curvy waitress with full lips. Very friendly and obliging.<\/div>\n
The clientele is (strangely) mostly white and since hookerlily is SPG, that’s why we hung out here. But I don’t think the white people hanging out here are very successful? (Seriously, what’s the point of hooking up with unsuccessful white people?) I saw a few counting their coins for the bill.<\/div>\n
I love the live jazz band. Although the music wasn’t very good, it created a good atmosphere. But the music could be loud and prevents conversation; it gave Hookerlily a headache. But the double bass player is so HOT! I love a man with flexible fingers. And he’s with a goatee. Tickle, tickle, tickle! You know tickle where lah.<\/div>\n
Despite the quality of food, I think I recommend this place highly because it’s fun fun fun fun. Coming here is like coming to a foreign land, Egypt or Turkey maybe. There is a carnivalesque atmosphere to it. (ps: someone, please tell HGW that the food is middle eastern and not mexican.)<\/div>\n
