Remember Mom’s First Post? Well, Yesterday, the 21st, Mom showed me an article posted in AlQabas’ newspaper by A Kuwaiti writer (won’t mention her name). The article was a bit too similar to Mom’s post. Actually, it looked as if the writer was reading our brains! Either that or she read our blog.

Alqabas’ Article

Mom’s Article

“It was no easy duty to go and condole a woman on her loss, It wasn’t easy for other relatives to see a member of their family suffer and go through those horrible days. It was a simple gathering where everything revolved around the family and their grief. it was simple yet very heavy, intense and somber experience. Therefor not everybody was allowed to go, only the eldest of the family would go and represent the rest and do the necessary (wajib).”

Again Alqabas’ Article

Mom’s

“Even little girls are brought to the 3azas. With their hair on their shoulders, Their little plated jewelry and their dazed eyes. The grownups haven’t spared us either, they attend wearing their topnotch abayas, filled with swarovski crystals and what not. Abayas suitable for weddings rather than 3azas!Some even went as far as wearing makeup. The new type of makeup, the “Sad occasions” makeups.”

Coincidence? Or plagiarism? Either way, I’m glad she agrees with Mom.

Today my mother in law got this sms:

“Dear customer, send MMS to any local mobile for just 35 fils instead of regular 75 fils! So go ahead, send photos, pictures or video clips to your friends and relatives from your phone to your hearts content. This onetime offer is only till March 15th so go ahead and enjoy the Zain MMS experience.”

Any one got this sms also? Actually i didn’t got one.

When i bought my Nespresso machine few weeks ago i was wondering whats the best milk that will give me the richest foam/froth when stirring it with the Aeroccino. i tried almost all the milk brands and came up with these results:

Nadec: This Milk gives the best results! Mashalah when i make my coffee with this one the froth reaches the top of the mug! Sij sij raghwaaaa mo 6abe3eyaaaa o what i like in this milk that it ALWAYS give lots and lots of froth.

KDCOW: This milk wins the second place, it gives high level of froth but, sadly, not always! esara7a madrey laish, some times its perfect and some times not. But I buy it whenever i can’t find Nadec in the Co-op.

KDD: Simply dont even think of buying it! it sucks when it comes to frothing. sometimes it makes me doubt my Aeroccino, I start thinking that there is something wrong with the machine! strongly not recommending it.

I just got this by email from my friend Abdullah, The newspaper was Alwatan which was on 25.Jan.1983 it says that Madenat alsabeya will be completed on Sep.1987 “hatha kalam el awraaag” but the actual date is still UNKNOWN because my work is in north Kuwait and every day i’m passing this area and until now they didn’t finished any thing! even the streets they didn’t construct it yet! Its been 21 years from that statement and i can assure you guys it needs not less than 5-6 years to complete it.

Finally all what can i say is “Hathy el Kuwait o sal 3ala el neby hathy el Kuwait of feha ely naby”

My Thanks goes to Abdullah.

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.

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:

Looks Funny!

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!

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 . 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.

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 oh and i loved their buns! so fresh!

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

A few days ago and after posting about Pop Up Popcorn the owner sent me this box of popcorn to get it reviewed. They sent a box of white chocolate popcorn.

Wrapping:

As u can see above, it has beautiful finishing touches and its very chic, even the quality of the box was good. My wife loves the black color tegool ekhaleeeh wayed raqey

Taste:

When it comes to taste I think they nailed it, its REALLY delicious and tasty and suitable if you were craving something really sweet. Whats made it unique was in my opinion the quality of the chocolate. I also tried milk chocolate which had Nutella in it and liked it as well.

Other flavors they offer:

- Dark Chocolate flavor.
- Cinnamon flavor.
- Coffee flavor.

I do have some suggestions for the people behind Popup popcorn: I wish they could admore flavors such as Caramel, Honey and Peanut Butter. I also think it would be a good idea if they offered more different sizes.

To order #65 160 190

Recently I faced alot of problems paying for my packages with UshopWeship, and now finally i get it, here is how to solve the problem:

if you are not using the “www” protocol. which means you entered the URL http://ushopweship.com instead of http://www.ushopweship.com, then you’re going to face the same problem i did.

so when you need to pay in the future, you have to use the “www” protocol.

My thanks goes to TwaiF

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.
