Malaysian gathering = Makan time.. hehehe
This time, location is in Mina kitchen near Abu Dhabi fish market. Foods serve there is Yemeni Mandi, one of Malaysian in UAE favourite. In fact it's a favourite of any Malaysian who had ever tried it.
Mandi is not the Malaysian mandi = shower. This Mandi is Arabic words (المندي) .
It's a traditional dish originated from Yeman. Made from meat (lamb or chicken) and rice and mixture of spices. Something like Briyani but slightly different taste. The meat is cooked in a very traditional way (zaman dulu gali lubang dalam tanah, now i have no idea how they make it). But the meat is really, really, REALLY tender. macam melt in your mouth.
Serve in dulang and lepas tu just dump the whole foods onto the plastic cover. Dont worry it's clean, itu pakai buang punya plastic. No gravy but the rice itself is already nice without kuah. As for me, the tomato paste in the bowl is my gravy.
Traditional way of eating Mandi, duduk bersimpuh or bersila. Kat Malaysia sekarang pun dah rarely can find tempat bersila macam ni.. 
Hah.. that's the actual way to eat Mandi, dump all the rice onto the plastic and pakat makan ramai-ramai..sapa-sapa yang penggeli tu sorry la. pegi makan sorang2 (kalau habih..portion besar giler, 1 dulang can consume by 2-3 person)
This Friday in Abu Dhabi, the serving dulang is bigger,like our "talam". If i go, i'll take some photos to show to you all.

Tinny,
I had check Orang Arab makan dalam dulang kerana itu kariah dan persaudaraan. Lagi pun mana ada pinggan nak jalan dengan Unta.
Faktor satu lagi Arab mana ada plastik dan takkan mereka makan bentang jubah.
Dari sudut kesihatan Plastik yang digunakan seperti dipaparkan adalah tidak sihat untuk digunakan untuk makan kerana plastik digunakan dari bahan yang mengeluarkan wappan kimia bila panas.
Makan dalam dulang sunah Nabi itu yang di Amalkan oleh Masyarakat Arab.....
Pengetahuan dan Photo yang you beri baik tetapi Food lebih nampak menarik dan menyelerakan.
