First "Moroccan Food" experience!

Last night I went to a really cool restaurant called "Casablanca" with some of my friends from Stroller Strides or from my exercise classes.

Casablanca is a Moroccan Restaurant in Kailua and some things were unique and lovely.

As soon as I came in I saw the beautiful decoration with awesome lanterns, ceramic plates, rugs on the walls

and the sealing was design to make you feel like you were eating inside of a tent.

Our waiter was really nice and told me to seat on these huge leather cushion on the floor and 

get ready to wash my hands.

He came back after a couple of minutes with a beautiful silver bowl and silver water pitcher 

and we washed our hands right there.

There was no napkin, it was a hand towel instead.

I then learned that we were not going to use any silverware until our last course.

I had soup, salad, appetizer and dessert with my hands and since I ordered

"Lamb Brochettes"

(the only thing I could remember and pronounce the name)

and they serve it in skewers, I didn't use any silver wear for the whole meal.

I confess it was a little weird eating with my hands, especially the salad.

The food was delicious and now I want to go to Morocco too.

They also served us a tea but since I do not drink tea I can't tell you if it was good.
The most interesting thing of the night was when a cute lady came by our table and splashed some "orange blossom" water from a silver bottle on top of us saying that it was for good luck. The water smelled really nice but the water on my face it was a bit to much for me. David talked about the smell after I got home. Poor Monica, my friend from Argentina, who is 7 months pregnant, she got splashed a lot more since the lady said her baby also needed. LOL
