Best Malaysian eatery in Abu Dhabi - This is Reem!

My fave eatery in Abu Dhabi? It's Reem Island!

We love the noodles here ... Hokkien Mee, or how about the excellent Yin Yang (Wat Tan Hor)?


Or you can have dishes too ... the Teet Pan (Sizzling) chicken is delicious ;-)

Or for something really quick, and really REALLY delicious ... Tip Tau Fan aka Dish with Rice, for only 18 AED (2 AED for extra egg) ... Sambal chicken with rice.

And the excellent Sweet and Sour Chicken with Rice!

Strawberry and bacon salad, Steak and Ribs!

bbG prepared a wonderful dinner one night, strawberry and bacon salad ... Lovely!

Leek Rosti ... what a treat! Thanks, bbG :-)

NZ Rib Eye :-)

And ... Beef short ribs too, with a lovely soya-based sauce.

Mmmh... succulent ribs, definitely finger licking good!

World's fastest production bike - Meet the Hayabusa!

Gorgeous ... eh! Wonder if this is the Suzuki Hayabusa GSX-1300R-K8 (2008), or perhaps the -K9 (2009)?

The Suzuki Hayabusa (or GSX1300R) is a hyper sport motorcycle made by Suzuki since 1999. It immediately won acclaim as the world's fastest production motorcycle, with a top speed of 188–194 miles per hour (303–312 km/h).

Did you know ...

Hayabusa is Japanese for Peregrine Falcon, a bird that often serves as a metaphor for speed due to its vertical hunting dive, or stoop, speed of 180 to 240 miles per hour (290 to 390 km/h), the fastest of any bird

In particular, the choice of name was made due to the fact that the peregrine falcon preys on blackbirds, which reflected the intent of the original Hayabusa to unseat the Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird as the world's fastest production motorcycle Eventually, the Hayabusa managed to surpass the Super Blackbird by at least a full 10 miles per hour (16 km/h).
