KABUL Afghan Cuisine

I've been eating 24/7 throughout this trip,

I don't know,

I really can't stand it anymore,

Food still makes me happy,

But...

Too much,

Way too much.

I'm flying back to SoCal on Tuesday night,

My stomach needs a break.

So here it goes again,

Food after food after food,

Which means (One of the days):

Vegetable soup with pork chops,

Pocky,

Duck curry noodles,

Potato skins,

Chips with salsa,

Diet coke (diet won't help me at all, I was just trying to make myself feel less guilty),

And here's what I have for dinner~

KABUL (Inside the Restaurant)-

I don't know who's that girl with mouth wide open.

Where's KABUL?-

Cindy's Rating for Both: 5 (Meat is too dry for me)

Afghan Tea-

I didn't take a picture of the tea,

It looks like any other regular tea,

But they added cardamom for the flavor,

Cardamom?

Good thing that our waiter was nice,

I was asking "what is cardamom?"

And he gave me that and wanted me to take it home.

Thanks for the power of Google,

I finally figured it out that cardamom is 荳蔻.

Sounds more familiar in Chinese.
