BEST BITES: Lo Spaghetto

Although the exterior and location of this restaurant don't give off the greatest impression, Lo Spaghetto is in-fact an"uptown" restaurant with a surprisingly wide variety of delicious Italian cuisine. 

I visited the restaurant over the weekend with some family friends, and each of us thoroughly enjoyed devouring our plates of creamy pasta or crispy pizza. The restaurant is owned and run by an Italian chef. He has surely managed to bring in a taste of Italy to the heart Doha. <3 

The chef has created an "identity" with his restaurant by not making it too lavish. The simple cozy seating arrangements ensures there are no distractions and that customers are solely focused on their dish of choice. The simplicity of the restaurant also reminds me of the cafes in Europe, which is very unique! 

As always I ordered by Spinach Ravioli! The flavor of the spinach, combined with the thick and creamy sauce and walnuts really give the dish a special touch. I must add that Italian cuisine is pretty fattening and full of carbs so be careful to not get carried away. 

I hope you enjoy the pictures and let me know about your experience there!

ZEE's PICKS: My Auntie's Death By Chocolate Dessert

This is the perfect dessert to prepare when you are expecting some young, fun friends over AND you don't have much time!

It is a delicious dessert that I learned from my aunt Amal when she used to make it for us during our summer gatherings! Ever since, it has been on popular demand by my entire family, but I save it for special occasions and fun get-togethers. I hope you enjoy it, and let me know if you decide to try it :)



WARNING: This is very fattening, but a small portion should be more than satisfying :)



Ingredients:
  • 1 large pack of digestive biscuits 
  • 1 stick of non-salted butter
  • 1 medium sized tin of condensed milk
  • 1 x-large bar of cadbury milk chocolate

Whip it up:
  • Use a seal-top pastic bag to crush the digestive biscuits into crumbs
  • In a large bowl, mix the digestive biscuits with the butter (at room temperature)
  • Once the mix is thoroughly incorporated, lay it down flat in a pirex plate
  • Chop up the cadbury bar into tiny cubes 
  • Spread the cubes all over the mix
  • Pour the condensed all over (to taste)
  • Place the dessert into a warm oven, not too hot!
  • Leave it in the oven for a maximum of 10 minutes for the chocolate to slightly melt and the milk to be warm. 
  • Your dessert is now ready to serve! 
*serves 10
prep time: 15 - 20 minutes
