Few days ago after posting about Pop Up Popcorn the owner sent me this box of popcorn to get reviewed, It was a box of white chocolate popcorn.

My review will be based on Wrapping, Taste and Suggestion.

pop1.jpg

pop2.jpg

Wrapping:

As u can see above it has a beautiful finishing touches and its simply very modern and chic, even the quality of the box was good so far “My wife loves the black color tegool ekhaleeeh wayed raqey” :P

pop5.jpg

Taste:

When it comes to taste i give it an A+, its REALLY delicious and tasty and suitable for those who have sweet tooth, whats makes it unique the quality of chocolate, i even tasted the milk chocolate which has Nutella flavor “which i’m sure that everyone like it”.

They also got:

- Dark Chocolate flavor.

- Cinnamon flavor.

- Coffee flavor.

pop3.jpg

Suggestion:

- Adding more flavors such as Caramel, Honey and Peanut Butter.

- Adding more sizes so people can choose between them.

At the end i would like to thank Pop Up Owner for the popcorn.

For ordering Just Call/SMS 5 160 190

rangolis-menu1.jpg

The name is Rangoli, located in the Radisson SAS hotel.

We went to Rangoli just over a week ago, last thursday to be specific. we went only days after the restaurant’s opening, thats what we were told.

I liked the restaurant, the place was well designed and the amount of spending was evident once you look around at the decorations and the overall feel of the place. I liked how they built the restaurant just under the “alboom” restaurant (alboom means big ship), it was VERY smart of them to use the boom’s lower structure to divide the restaurant in half.. so when you’re in Rangoli you’ll notice the base of a ship splitting the dining area in half. (shown below)

part of the ship’s base

Now the food. I don’t think you can go wrong with this place, we ordered many things from appetizers to main courses and we were all happy with our orders (or at least thats the vibe i got from the others :P ). I’m gonna speak for myself now, I ate some battered chicken for starters, i don’t know its name, but it was goooood! and so was the kebab and some other stuff i forgot, they were all delicious. I didn’t know what to order for the main course so i went with the safest dish.. the lamb baryany. the baryany was great as well. their baryany is one of the best i’ve ever tried, for me it ranks 2nd place (1st place goes to Dubai’s Asha’s).

rangoli-interior2.jpg

Now the only thing that really bothered us was the service. it was extremely slow. we waited a lot for the food to arrive, the appetizers and the main courses were too far apart. We complained to the waiter and he said that its their first “real” week, and they weren’t expecting so many customers (it was almost a full house) and that the kitchen was facing problems keeping up.. he also promised to do his best to not keep us waiting. (it would’ve been nicer/professional to bring us some drinks or things on the house while they kept us waiting, imo, but they didn’t).

Anyway, overall, I liked the place and I would definitely go back there soon and also would highly recommend it to my friends and family.

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.

Mishary was never a coffee fan, and I thought he won’t ever be, but i guess i was wrong.. Just the other day Mishary went (along with his wife, his brother and Me) and bought his first coffee machine. He bought a bigger machine than mine, it looks good and has some additional features. it also has a place to put the little coffee cups (or shots? what do they call them? liglasat liz’3ar malot ilgahwa!) and the machine keeps them warm too!

Here is a picture of the Machine

img_0748.jpg

We went to the only branch in Kuwait, its located in SunCity in Shuwaikh (or 9un 9ity as some Kuwaitis like to pronounce it).. the branch is tiny but has a large variety of Machines and many accessories to go with them.

img_0735.jpg

img_0737.jpg

img_0740.jpg

img_0753.jpg

I was tempted to buy me some of the accessories like the capsules container (shown below)

img_0733.jpg

The Nespresso employee was friendly and explained all about the machines and how to use them. He offered us some coffee samples and some chocolate afterwards (me and INM were very happy with the chocolates ;) )

img_0745.jpg

Mishary also wanted to buy the Aeroccino (coz the machine doesn’t have it built-in… IMO it is better to use a separate froth-maker than the ones built in, coz not only they do a better job, they’re easier to clean as well). but the froth maker was out of stock, so the guy offered to deliver it once they have it back in stock (great service)

Spaghetti with chicken and mushroom/cream sauce!

The Ingredients:

ingredients.jpg

-Chicken Breast.
-Your favorite type of Pasta.
-Mushroom.
-Spinach.
-Habanero pepper.
-Mashed Garlic.
-Olive Oil.
-Whipping cream.
- 2 tsp parmesan cheese.

Important note: the portions of the ingredients are not specified coz it differs everytime i cook.. i came to understand that it all depends on how hungry i am :D

Ok, now, first of all you boil your pasta and set it aside. then take out the biggest frying pan and start by using some olive oil (and butter, if you’re not worried about your cholesterol level), add the sliced chicken, stir until it becomes white.. add the mushroom and garlic, stir for another 5 minutes, add the habanero pepper (be sure to slice it and remove all the seeds, its extremely hot, so one piece is more than enough). pour in the whipping cream, season it with salt and white pepper, let it simmer for 5 minutes, add the parmesan cheese and then finally add your pasta.. oh and don’t forget to add the spinach leaves at the end.

it should look something like this
spaghetti-josepe.jpg

if you know the basics about cooking you wouldn’t face any problems, but if you’re beginner, then …. well… there is always hardee’s! :D

elizabeth_golden_poster.jpg

SPOILERS AHEAD

The movie’s title was “The Golden Age”, a thing we never saw throughout the entire movie, there was no golden age in that movie. the whole freedom and prosperity were enjoyed after we left the theater, coz it ended when england prevailed. all we saw was the terror. the terror of a catholic king, trying to force the nations around him to submit to Christianity as He knew it, claiming its God’s will. see here is where the new (more efficient) form of terrorism first came to the scene IMO. not individual terrorist, not a group of people, But a whole nation of terrorists! killing and invading countries with the excuse of following God orders (more like following the nations’ interest imo). in the old age it was about whatever threatens Catholicism, and now its about what threatens certain nations’ national security… History repeats itself.. I guess..

Anyway! King philip of spain, a real catholic, wants to invade England and restore christianity in its most pure form. he’s doing so by plotting a very evil plan of letting Queen elizabeth execute Queen Mary of Scots (Mary Stewart) and by doing so, he’d find an excuse to invade and kill Q.Elizabeth. Mary was, according to the movie, writing secret letters to help plot the assassination of Queen Elizabeth. the letters were intercepted by Queen Elizabeth’s people and were eventually used against Mary, which ultimately led to a swift trial that ended with the beheading of Mary. And the war began.

overall I liked the movie and recommend it. I generally like movies that have historic events (I like them less if there were lots of killings), Cate blanchett did an oscar worthy job. She was nominated for an oscar in 1998 for the same part (this movie is a sequel, in case you don’t know).

abu-sahqrah.jpg

We went, me and loco, to an egyptian restaurant, Grand Abu Shaqra. its my first time in Dubai’s branch, I went many times with my family and friends to Egypt’s branch. I liked it back then and I was curious as to how good its gonna be in Dubai. I remember loving their béchamel sauce.

abushaqrah2.jpg

We ordered many things.. loco ordered lentil soup (he always order soup for starters.. i7ib i7is inahwa birmothan). we shared makarona bil béchamel (which was amazing!). and then we ordered the main dishes :P 2 white rice (shown above) and 2 tajins, molokhiya and bamya.

We liked it there (loco not so much). I liked the atmosphere (we sat out) and I liked the service. I would definitely go back there again :)

I loved using torrents when I first knew how to use them. but with time it got harder to find the files i want, especially with my service provider (Etisalat) blocking every useful website out there (they blocked flickr. the reason? still unknown!). But now with the new Xtorrent, I can search for the files without looking for any torrent’s site, it has a built in search engine to find the best possible torrents. I just launch Xtorrent, type in the file I want and I’m done!

Search Everywhere,
Easily Xtorrent is all about search. Type keywords in and the results show up right in Xtorrent. One click later and you’re downloading your content. It’s ridiculously easy… and it’s only in Xtorrent.

I like simple games ! The object of this simple game is to click on the light colored dots to create a barrier that prevents the kitty from getting away. Each time you click on a dot, the kitty gets to move from one dot to another. (Walla u will get addicted to it!) i finished the first level ONLY :)

How often have you started arguing with a friend over the correct pronunciation of a word? You know, the kind of word that you read all the time, but suddenly realize you’ve never heard spoken out loud. Well, before you beat your friend to a bloody pulp, you might want to check out howjsay, an online pronunciation dictionary. “Sij ana a7taaaj hathaa el shay !”

Thanks to Ahmad.

PS. If ur using Mac OS no need to go to the site above because this feature is built in with the OSX.
