Tales of Yaseen & The Catering Menu

This conversation happened earlier today between Dana & Yaseen (and here, here, and here):



Dana: Yaseen, read the catering menu for me please.
Yaseen: Ok mam.. We have man made oil.
Dana: What?!
Yaseen: Ah.. Manimade oil.
Dana: Ooh! You mean "Marinated Olives"?!?
Yaseen (with a beautiful baby face smile): Yes mam.


Here's this weak's pictures from our catering menu:

Bite size Morroccan Couscous Salad.

Tastes even better than it looks!

Munch's incredibly yummy/bite-your-fingers Vegetable Root Chips
with your choice of dips:
Creamy Avocado, Guacamole, Mango Avocado Salsa,
or Pink Beetroot Hummus (delicious!)

Another shot of the delicious crispy chips

Catering size of one of our famous specials at the dine-in, Slowly Roasted Lamb with Dates. Magnificent!

Wait until you see our Peking Duck Wraps in the upcoming post, best seller on the catering menu.

Munch Catering

Dana is tantalizing people these days, and for a while, with her amazing creations on the catering menu. Actually, some of us are getting jealous that the catering menu is better than the dine-in sometimes.

So, in order to let the whole world know what Dana is cooking these days, I've decided to post pictures every now and then with her creations.. And sorry people.. no recipes.. Enjoy ;)

Munch's heart of palm salad (Palmeto), served bite size for catering.

The yummy mini steak kabab with sweet potato and Brazilian chimichurri dip. Very popular!

...more to come soon

Pizza Special for Kooki

Just to give you a feel of our pizza special, sweet potato with ricotta & parmesan cheese. 2 orders just went out for our friend Kooki.

Treasure hunt!

Munch is open today with Dana doing the deliveries. In the meantime, Munch's team is participating in a Mena Abdullah to Nwaiseeb treasure hunt. Wish us luck!

New presentation

After several comments, we've 'enhanced' our dine-in presentation. In this picture our friends faisal and fahad are sharing Munch's buffalo mozzarella (grilled).

Grilling

I had to take the grill bs two customers came in minutes after closing.
I was making myself bo Asian Steak Wrap as they entered and saw me, i had them taste the awesome steak and they made me cook them 3. I have to say, i might start a new job cooking! Its really fun!

Getting into it

I guess we couldn't stop the strike. Dana is seen in this picture cleaning before shutting the place down for the night. After all workers left at around 7. Emteyaz (chef to be) is the only one who stayed for the night.

Riots!

The guys at the kitchen are complaining about the new work schedule, so we fixed it and avoided the Workers Union's riots and everyone is happy.
Meanwhile, we're checking out our new pizza boxes before they go out to print.

New Delivery Boy

So, since it's our first Friday to open, we had no driver. So our super Jassim, took one for the team and made his first delivery.

Ladies: Start ordering delivery... you never know who might show up at your door:)

Perfection!

Chef Adla, and Sheikha got back from their trip and payed us a visit, and help perfect the menu.

Hallelujah!

Ladies and gentlemen can you see the light behind his head!
A choir kept singing Hallelujah inside my head for that when i saw thee, i saw light!
We're officially open for business this friday :-D

One by one

Cecilia is here and the bus boy, they're getting the place ready. But no sign of Yaseen who is, despite his shortcomings, proving his importance!

Friday the 13th

I came in today at 12:30 only to see the place as you see in the above picture, empty! I have guests coming in in an hour and only 3 people are here.. Yaseen is not here yet, and i dont know how to switch the ordering system on.
If you think you can lend a helping hand, come in. I promise you free food :-P

Typical Yaseen!

I got the following email from a friend:

Today’s Yaseen story:

Friend: Hi Yaseen I want one steak sandwich
Yaseen: ok sir you want anything to drink?
Friend: ok what do you have?
Yaseen: We have juices orange juice?
Friend: No…what else do you have..
Yaseen: You want special sir?
Friend: Ok what do you have?
Yaseen: We have steak sandwich sir!

Amazing!
Oh, and we learned today that Yaseen is MUCH better waiting on tables than answering calls and being the Cashier. So stay tuned for his new role!

-----------------
In other news, we are pleased to announce our new opening hours:

Saturday - Thursday: 8AM - 10PM

I just took the liberty of stealing one of the Asian Steak Wraps set out for a catering service we have tonight.. AMAZING! Much better than the sandwich i must say.
Here's a hint, any of our salads or sandwiches can be made into wraps. You can even have a sandwich served to you as a salad.
Try playing with the menu the next time you Munch ;-)

Try it today!

And here it comes! Munch's special for the coming week created by our Guru (Dana), Asian Steak sandwich. Tender juicy marinated steak, with our homemade special Asian sauce (has a pinch of peanuts), topped off with fresh mixed lettuce.
Try it today for lunch!

Good morning Yaseen

A customer ordered 3 cheese sandwich and Yaseen, kindly, sent him old fashion cheese burger!
Way to go Yaseen! Sorry fans, I think he's walking out the door really soon.

Go Djocovic

Whoever he is, but apparently people know him. I'm not a tennis fan, but several of our friends are and they're watching the Australian Open final in Munch right now.

Heavenly

Our new best seller, Pomegranate with mixed berries. Seriously, you have to try it.
We're still thinking of this week's specials, any ideas?

Allah!

How about getting this for the front door? :-P just saw it at Ace and thought i should share it. Oh, and for our customers who said delivery food is a bit cold, we're working on that. Just bought delivery bags that will hopefully keep your food as warm as possible.

Chalkboarding

Munch is closed today. But starting next friday we'll be open 7 days a week. So i'm here today at Ace Hardware buying blackboard paint for the area above the kitchen, where we currently have small blackboards -if you've noticed-. The problem is Ace only has green blackboard spray, no black until march probably. I'll take this and see how it fits.
On another note, Abdulla shot an interview with Yaseen yesterday, should be interesting. I'll try to post it today.

Mmmm!

We got a wonderful 'Mmm!' for the moroccan couscous salad from one happy little customer.

Right now

I really like this mobile blogging, this is Munch right now.
Oh and the speakers are working fine!

Special Yaseen

Yaseen was just asked 'whats the special today?', he replied 'mam, everything is special on our menu'!
Way to go Yaseen! Fyi, our specials this week are peking duck wrap & slow roasted lamb with dates

Let there be music..

I went last night to get speakers for Munch. We've been using a small ipod dock since we've opened.
Our new Bose speakers are being installed right now. Just in time for you to enjoy some music over lunch.

Happy birthday Ali!

He was actually suprised. You can never guess Ali's reactions, he was peaceful this time.
And for the record, his birthday was yesterday, and we were late. But apparently we're the only one who 'remembered' it. He's now 26.
P.s: you should've heard chef Ahmad sing happy birthday!

More Ali

More pictures of the energized Ali keeping the kitchen in order!
Its his birthday today, we're surprising him in a minute, please dont tell him.

Yaseen

In this picture taken a couple of minutes ago, Abdullah explaining to Yaseen that when someone orders Pomegranate & berries please dont put 'orange juice' on the invoice.
