19th Birthday Party

Hi Hi,

Before I went to Lebanon I celebrated my 19th Birthday early with some of my close friends, (unfortunately a lot of them had to leave for their holiday already...) But I had a lovely time none the less. 

I had the dinner at the Benihana restaurant at the Beach Rotana. I love Japanese food so I was happy to try a new restaurant even though it's a japanese american fusion. 

The atmosphere was really nice and it was cool how we got to sit around the chef's station as he cooked for us. The food was cooked tepenyaki style so he was performing whilst cooking.

My outfit:

Dress + Jacket are from Stradivarius

Shoes are from Topshop

S necklace was a gift

(btw I know my shoes really don't match my spring dress but because I sent all of my stuff back to australia they were my only shoes I could wear aside from sneakers...;___;)  

My gorgeous friends, Kaye, Nour and Mariam! They really made the last few years a lot of fun! We're all going our separate ways for unit but I'm really going to miss them and all the fun we got up to. 

This was the cook for our table and he was so funny. He had this nervous laugh that made us laugh even harder. The performance involved a lot of tricks and moves that involved flipping the food around and it was really entertaining to watch. 

 He also made cute messages with the food...

Sorry for not getting any food shots but I was having too much fun to think about that clearly...

 Lol blowing out the candles!

I had a great time with my mum and my friends and I would definitely recommend this style of meal to people who are nervous about eating Japanese food. The excitement of the performance gives a new element to the food so it's really enjoyable! 

Thanks for reading!
