Oasis Chinese Restaurant

Last visit: 13 February 2017, dinner
Taste: 5/5
Cost performance: 5/5
Location: next to Sharq Village & Spa, inside Oasis Beach Club

Sadly, this my favorite restaurant in Doha cannot sell alcoholic drink anymore.
Their drought beer and fried dumpling are used to be my and most Japanese living in Qatar's favorite.

This was my first visit after the alcohol ban and nobody else beside us was in the restaurant.
Not even the regular band.

The food was still good.
Just my favorite chili sauce became too watery.
 
Their location was still hidden, and they are not listed in zomato.com.

From our bill:
- Fried Dumpling, QAR 40
- Mix Noodle Soup, QAR 34
- Sweet Corn Chicken Soup, QAR 17
- Chinese Cabbage, QAR 35
- Sizzling Beef, QAR 40
- Soft drink, QAR 12
- Green tea, QAR 12

Taste: 5/5
Cost performance: 5/5 (the cheapest drought beer in town)

Dress Code: Long pants and shoes

See previous post here, for more detail information.

Still my best restaurant in Doha so far.
This time I visited alone.
I brought a magazine and a book.
But mostly ended up enjoying the live music and looking around other customers.

As usual, a lot of Japanese groups that night.
Also some Arabic groups or singles as usual.
This is the only place in Doha, where men in Arabic dresses could drink beer.
And one of the only two non-hotel places in Doha that sells alcoholic drink.

As usual, the couple singers that been singing there for years, were singing mostly the same songs every night.
They added some new songs though, like Happy by Farrel Williams.

Since I was alone, I only ordered my favorite Mixed Noodle Soup and Fried Dumpling.
Never eaten one plate myself of Fried Dumpling, I was quite full that night.
But nothing better in Doha than drought beer and Fried Dumpling in Oasis.

Oasis Chinese Restaurant is my favorite restaurant in Qatar.
Mixed Noodle Soup, Fried Dumpling and drought beer are my regular.
Another yummy ones are Chinese Cabbage Garlic Sauce and Mixed Chow Mien.
But the star of the restaurant is the Fried Dumpling, sometime people will get disappointed when it is not available due to sold-out, or damaged fry pan :p (it happened!)

Located in a hidden place, inside Oasis Beach Club, behind the ruin and it cannot be seen from the main road.

It is open only for dinner from 18:00-23:00, and closed during month of Ramadan.

Strangely it strongly enforces dress code, for men, shorts and non-shoes are not allowed.
I, myself, once was declined to enter the restaurant wearing short pants, and I witnessed many people being turned down for the same reason!

It has daily live performance, the same Filipino couple of one singer and one instrument player since many years ago. A bit noisy for group of friends who want to chat.

It is extremely popular place for Japanese expats and other Asian.

Another unique scene is you can see people in traditional moslem dress smoking and drinking beer here, the only legal place in Qatar you can find this scene.
And I think the only non-hotel place serves legally alcoholic drink in Qatar.

In my visit early June 2016, just one day before they closed for Ramadan, most of the food were not available.
For the first time, we ordered Italian Pizza, since one of us got informed the pizza was good.
But, it was so so... home made feel though.

Some items ordered previously:
- Fried Dumpling --> everyone favourite
- Chinese Cabbage Garlic Sauce --> many favourite
- Mix Noodle Soup, QAR 17 --> one of my favourite
- Drunken Chicken --> Japanese seems love it, but not me
- Spring Rolls
- Sizzling Seafood, QAR 75
- Stir Fried Lettuce Oyster Sauce, QAR 35
- Lemon Chicken, QAR 40
- Prawn Crackers, QAR 17 --> coz it was the only appetizer available during our visit before Ramadan
- Vegetable Fried Rice, QAR 29
- Draught Heineken or Fosters, QAR 27
