I spent Eid weekend in Ras Al Khaimah at the Hilton Al Hamra Beach & Golf Resort.
It was a blissful, relaxing three days. Whenever I travel, I’m always looking for something to excite my palate. Half (most of?) the fun of travel is discovering new food.
My husband and I had a meal at the newly opened Trader Vic’s Mai Tai Lounge at the resort.
The whole meal was spot on, as is to be expected at Trader Vic’s, but I was delighted to discover the beef and reef. I might not have ordered this dish — it just sounds a bit boring — but it was highly recommended by the manager. For good reason. The round morsels of US beef are so tender, you barely need to chew the meat.
I hardly even noticed the shrimp on the plate. The shrimp were plump and juicy, but the beef really is the star of this dish.
Trust me when I tell you — this is a must-try dish at Trader Vic’s.
