In Doha, there is no Spam

I know that by going to the Middle East, my pork consumption will be limited. But what do you know, when pork is not available in the menu, I kinda missed it. In my short stay in Doha, I longed to eat sisig and dinuguan. I missed sisig so much that when I got home, I mostly ate sisig at a buffet station. But that's a story for another post.

Since pork is not available, I discovered that some of the food choices in Doha were delicious too. I loved the shrimp siomai that we bought in Kabayan Supermarket. I forgot the brand name, of course. I just picked it up in the freezer section.

There was also this canned tuna that I liked. I also did not know the brand. But it was in the promotional section (where I can buy 3 cans for a lesser price) of Al Meera. The package looked good, but I wasn't sure whether it tasted good. There was a kabayan roaming the aisle nearby. So I asked him whether he thinks this brand of tuna is good.

I knew I should have paid more attention to the brand name I'm eating. But I guess, since I will not stay long, there was no need to get attached to all those culinary treats. Besides, when I get home, it will be back to Century Tuna and Hen Lin for me.

Did I mention that there were no canned pork in Doha? I realized that fact when I was in the arrival section of NAIA. I picked up one pack of Spam because I also missed it.
