While in Beirut

After flying in and staying a night at the hotel it is just a short walk away from the Corniche; a favorite promenade spot. It was relaxing hearing the water crash against the wall. All kinds of people enjoy this long scenic walk. You can enjoy coffee along the way at one of the many cafes on the path. As expected there are all kinds of vendors along the walk. There is something for everyone. I heard that the local youth like to jump off the Corniche and between the rock formations for fun so I will be checking that out later today. 
After I finished my long walk and swim at Corniche I was feeling pretty hungry so i decided it was time to check out the local dining places. I caught word form a local that Jai in Beirut was a place I must eat at before my departure. He said "Jai is an asian delivery and catering service. 11.00Am to 10.45Pm. They deliver anywhere in the Beirut municipal area within 45 min. They also have one sharing dine-in table in the kitchen, which fits 6 people. It is rated the #1 restaurant in Beirut according to trip adviser."I was not disappointed by this place. I had the most delicious Chicken Satay in my life. It had a perfect amount of spice in the spicy peanut sauce that just warmed up my mouth. Then the warm chicken practically melted as I chewed it. Then I got a taste of the onion as I swallowed. I recommend this place to anyone in the area.
