Today was Tash’s Birthday so I took her out to a very stylish restaurant called Sanafir located in downtown Vancouver on Granville Street. The venue is very trendy with extreme high vaulted ceilings, modern decor, plush leather cubicles, colourful Moroccan fabrics and candle lit for that ambient mood.
Sanafir is a small town on the Sinai Peninsula known for its traveled silk route and the restaurant has a fusion of Asian, Arabian and Indian dishes on their menu. The dishes are tapas style and each trio served is based on a different region’s exotic flavour and spices. We tried the Calamari trio which included a deep fried salted pepper, curry and salad mixture. We also tried the Chicken trio which had Indonesia Satay, Chicken Tandoori and a Moroccan style curry as well. Since it was a Tapas style meal we ordred the Dungeness Crab Risotto as the base side dish. The food was nice and a very unique dining experience for the both of us and we enjoyed the night out together.
Being away from family again returns us back to our “normal” life since its just the two of us again, but of course that being said, even though we are halfway across the world Tash was bombarded with SMS’s, emails, Facebook posts and Skype calls from family and friends wishing her on her special day.
Happy Bithday Tash!
Love Saj, Jamal and Candace Maximus…!
