I’m sick again. Not more than a month ago I was sick with inflamed tonsils (lowaz), fever and a flu. and now, its all back again with a vengeance.

I’m not answering my phone since yesterday coz i’m having difficulty speaking. so I’ve been sending sms’s after each miscall saying “i can’t talk coz i’m sick and my tonsils (bal3eemy warma) are inflamed at the moment. we talk later”

As weird as it may sound, i find whoever calls me after reading that sms is weirder! I mean, I told you I can’t answer! why are you calling me back?? what should I do to get through to you :?:

I know! I should either come after you (when I get better inshallah) and hunt you down OR I pray that a wall falls and You just happen to be under it. :evil:

I got this weird email when i was checking my emails:

“I am writing from the hospital with my computer lap top, therefore this mail is very urgent as you can see that I am going home.

I was told by the doctor that I was poisoned and has got my liver damaged and can only live for some months. I have ($10.7 Million USD) with a storage house in Madrid Spain.

I will want you to help me collect this money and give it to the poor people. I have set aside only 30 Percent for you and for your time.

I will be going for operation in few days so please pray for me for survival but on the other hand in case of anything all I need is your sincere assistance I do not need any financial help from you because I have enough and if money can save me I also have enough but life comes from the Most High God as I don’t know what will happen to me in the next few hours.

Reply me earliest for more details to my email address: xxxxxx@yahoo.es May God bless you and use you to accomplish my wish.

Best Regards,

Mr. Siamak Parhizkari”

Maskeeen walla kesar kha6reey da3aitla 3ad kaifa etha be7awely efloos zain 3ala zain :P

Yesterday after we finished dinner 9K2HN suggested to try avocado juice, i was like… WHAT!? Avocado juice? (yes, i’m kinda picky. but compared to INM i’m a vacuum! Coz he’s EXTREMELY picky!) Back to topic :P

dsc00482.jpg

So after we went there he ordered and i gave it a try. Simply, its DELICIOUS! mashalah its kinda thick i cant imagine its a Natural fruit/vegetable (wait a sec.. is it a vegetable or a fruit?) walla madry bas it tastes good.

dsc00492.jpg

The place is so tiny, and its located in Kaifan Co-op, next to Mr. Baker.

dsc00495.jpg

They have a new way to cover the top of the plastic cup, They cover it with this skinny transparent nylon tissue.

The shop has a web site but its under construction. if you want to check it out click HERE.

Score will be 4 out 5.

Thanks 9K2HN (Now i can eat Hearts PLUS Avocado juice) :P

UPDATE:

I was hungry and the guy from KFC told me why not try their new wrap sandwich. I foolishly fell for it.

Its a star shaped wrap sandwich. It tasted like chicken, twister sauce, marinara sauce, beans (don’t ask), lots of cheese, tortilla chips… lots of flavors came together to form this disgusting sandwich. Oh and it was soggy too! Just the way I like it :x

0.5 out of 5

Chocolate-Pencils is the product of a collaboration pairing Japanese architect and designer Oki Sato with patissier (and Iron Chef champion) Tsujiguchi Hironobu, the man behind Tokyo’s boutique dessert shops Mont St. Claire and Le Chocolat de H. Subtle tableware effectively displays the gourmet chocolate and includes a special “pencil sharpener” for grating over a dessert. The pencils operate under the concept that shavings, which are generally regarded as a waste product, are now the main focus.

Spoons are so last year. Who has time to find a clean one, lift your hand, swirl your wrist to mix in sugar with your tea or coffee, tap the spoon dry or lick it and then place it back on the plate? this is a elegant and simple design. Incorporating a molded glass groove (resembling a roulette wheel) that acts as a track for a ceramic ball as well as keep you from choking to death on it, the user is inclined to swirl the cup using centrifugal force to mix your beverage. I applaud the design and am still pondering its need over my premixed vanilla latte.

I was introduced to The Noodle House and the chinese food in general about 3 and half years ago. My friends and roommates were regulars in this restaurant for ages before i came along. I love this restaurant and rate every other chinese restaurant based on how the food tastes in comparison. I know its not a good way to rate other restaurants, coz simply, they don’t stand a chance.

jumeirahs-noodles.jpg

The restaurant is owned by Jumeirah International (which is owned by Dubai’s government), This alone gives it an edge an make it so far ahead of all of the other restaurants in Dubai. With a reputation like Jumeriah’s you’re gonna know it’ll be in every special and unique place, with the best decor and interior designs along with the best service in town.

The food quality is, as you may already sensed, is the best i’ve tried so far. The presentation is simple and elegant. They don’t have as many dishes as Peacock in Kuwait, but thats an advantage in my opinion, coz peacock’s menu never cease to confuse me. They have so many dishes which makes me not know exactly what i would like to order. I mean look at their chicken dishes, they have tons! IMO, If a restaurant doesn’t have standout dishes, they’re gonna offer whatever they can to compensate (but thats only my opinion peacock’s fans :P )

noodles-startes2.jpg

noodles-starters.jpg

Dishes I like in The Noodle House:

Starters:
-Vegetable Spring rolls.
-Sesame prawns on toast.
-Prawn Bags

Main Dishes:
-Bakmi Goreng Noodles with shrimp & chicken (i always ask them to take out the shrimps)
-Chicken Sweet & Sour (unlike any other S&S dish i’ve tried)
-Thai Chicken with cashew nuts
-Roasted Duck (my favorite dish in this whole wide woyyd :D )
-Nonya Chicken Curry (they promised to bring it back to their menu soon)

They also have plenty of drinks and cocktails, but I never try them, I only order diet coke when I’m there. Yeah and its interesting to note that they offer both Pepsi’s products and Coke’s!

Easily 5 out of 5.

Yesterday me & my wife decided to go to Al-Koot Mall, Actually we prefer it because we find it less crowded than the other Malls. After we finished shopping i got a phone call from Abdullah telling me to try MUGG & BEAN Restaurant. He said that this restaurant specialized in sizing! every thing is SUPER SIZED, even if ur ordering a Hot Chocolate or Cappuccino there is a free refill! So, Naturally, We hopped on the idea and decided to give it a try.

mb2.jpg

As you can see above there are few tables inside the restaurant (its a little bit tiny inside) so we decided to sit outside. We ordered the Chicken Ceaser Salad and for the main course mix grills, The Salad was HUGE! HUGE! and very rich in chicken and bacon and ceaser sauce. Actually, its just a mix of chicken and bacon! (sij estaghrabt laish emsamenhaaa sala6a aslaan!!) But it was delicious esara7a I liked it. We really liked the starters, but the main course not so much, nothing special at all.

Its located on Sultan Center’s side, the opposite side of Paul Cafe.

I give it 3.5/5

Today Me & my family decided to have our lunch at Sarai restaurant. It’s a combination of Syrian, Armenian and Turkish food. The word Sarai is from turkish origins and means The Castle (According the waiter).

2.jpg

I didn’t expect the restaurant to be this busy (Thank God i made the reservation yesterday!) The place was almost full, I would’ve taken more pictures of the restaurant if it wasn’t so crowded!

31.jpg

The appetizers were delicious esara7a, I loved and enjoyed them, Even though i was surprised to find out that they don’t serve some of the famous mazzat (appetizers) like fried chicken wings with garlic and and grilled Hallom cheese. The starters were the hightlights, but when you reach the maincourses stage, I’m sorry to say that there is nothing special about them.

4.jpg

Over all the restaurant’s atmosphere is suitable for families, Just make sure to reserve before going.

In my opinion it deserves 4/5 due to the place being small and their main courses being bland.

chicken-curry-1.jpg

Ingredients:

-Boneless chicken thighs.
-A cup of coconut milk.
-kurkum (Turmeric)
-onion.
-ginger.
-tomatoes for garnish.
-parsley for garnish.
-green curry powder (1 tea spoon)

chicken-curry-2.jpg

boil the chicken thighs until tender, cut em to cubes and keep aside. whip out ur deep frying pan and start by frying the onions (thin long slices) in little oil on low fire. u don’t want to turn them yellow, u should keep them white, so add little water every minute. fry in the mashed ginger, add the chickens, add the korkom (1 tea spoon) and the… i forgot its name.. yeah the curry powder. mix in the coconut milk, season with salt and pepper, raise the fire and stir for 5 minutes then reduce the fire and keep it there to simmer for 10-15 minutes. and just before u serve the dish, mix in the tomatoes and sprinkle some parsley.

bil3afya :P

An old advertisement of KFC .. NO COMMENTS JUST WATCH :D

 





heinz.jpg

There are 2 kinds of heinz ketchup out there. one is manufactured in egypt and the other in the US. their taste is different. so heads up! you can tell by looking at their labels. if you see any arabic translation then its the cheap err.. i mean, its the one from egypt. :D

If you already know about this and don’t think there is a difference in taste, well, then might as well cut ur costs.. coz there are always the award winning ketchups like this one here:

hb-front.jpg

it was recommended by My dear friend INTER. he said their sandwiches would remind me of the late hungry bunny chain. and it kinda did!

hb-bag1.jpg

i ordered 2 sandwiches and a fries. the super bunny sandwich (whopper look alike) and the roast beef sandwich. let me start by saying that i do not consider this restaurant a real restaurant, not a real fast food joint, nope, i think of it more like albatriq and sahran kinda of restaurants. mcdonald’s would be gourmet food next to these :P . anyway, their super bunny was nice, it was a cross over between the whopper and the big deluxe. i liked it and it did remind of of the real super bunny.

hb-roasbeef1.jpg

now the roast beef sandwich was reaal nice! i was surprised! they use real roast beef! i don’t know how to explain it.. i liked the quality of their roast beef (although a bit chewy) but nevertheless, it was good and the meat was kind of thick and full of flavor (the tomato and lettuce had to go though). my only criticism and the only thing that bothered me was the quality of their mayonnaise. it had an eggy taste.. yukh.

Overall its a nice little place for when you crave junk food yet u’re sick from the usual places. I personally would definitely go back for their roast beef. and when i’m a bit nostalgic, i’d go for their super bunny :D oh and i loved their buns! so fresh!

Its located in hawalli, facing the 4th ring road, just opposite the Royale Hayat hospital.

Scientists once again proved that we don’t have to shed tears while doing things we hate! dicing the onions is no longer a hassle (well after 10 years it will no longer be). they succeeded in treating the onion biologically and removed the enzyme that triggers our tear canals. and it worked!

you can expect the “No More Tears” onions in the co-ops next to you approximately within 10-100 years :D

Yes KDD is back again to the Jam3eyat. Few minutes ago i got a call from INM saying that the 6 packs of KDD milk cost 750 fils, which means that the 1 pack is worth 125 fils, which is fair since it was priced at around 200 fils before.

icecream1.jpg

Before i got married, my friend took me to this place, He was always trying to convince me to taste their ice creams, even if it just for one time. I went once and it sure wasnt the last :P During melcha, me and my wife, used to end up at Ice Cream World every time we went out. Sijjj sij latheeeth !

icecream2.jpg

The place is small from the inside and doesnt have any tables or chairs to sit on and eat inside. so just park ur car and the waiter will come out to u and take your order.

icecream3.jpg

They have many many flavors and most of them r fruits’ flavors. They really taste like fruit! oh and they have ice cream without any sugar too! (Hamad you came to mind when i saw them). What i usually order:

1 mango scoop and 1 banana scoop :P

my thanks goes to INM for taking the pics and Ali for telling me about this place.
