I feel like I was left outta the loop. This Caramel Log thing is, apparently, a favortie among Kuwaitis (?) How come I didn’t hear about it until like 5 minutes ago? It looks old, tastes old, and has a nice after taste. It crunches like a lion bar and tastes like Bounty.
My collegue says it is best when accompanied with Sunkist.. huh.. gotta try that now.
I’m sure some of you aren’t new to this dish, but I gotta say this is by far the best dish at P F Changs! Love at first Bite. It’s creamy, crabby and crispy all at once. I couldn’t have asked for anything more.
The next time you’re there you’ve gotta try it, it’s called Crab Wonton, and it tastes much better than it sounds.
We were at P.F. Chang’s the other day and the nice manager over there told us they’ll be opening a new branch in Kuwait soon. It’ll be located right next to the Corniche Club, in the ‘red building’. She told us that the new branch is a big one, 2 levels, and according to her it’ll look amazing.
Yesterday we had Live Love Chocolate as our sweet after the fotoor, we’ve ordered 2 kind of molten cake, the first one was the chocolate molten cake and the other one called cheese molten cake, If you want to see both of them click the link below.
Attention: Since we’re still in Ramadan, mouth watering pictures are ahead.
For those of you who’s diabetics or looking for a low calories chocolate after fotoor, Mr. Baker came up with a low calories chocolate which is made in Kuwait and supervised by Dr. Bader Naser-Allah.
It comes with three flavors, Light Milk chocolate, Dark Chocolate and Light crispy cream chocolate, I’ve tasted it and its tasty you can barely differentiate between the above one and any other good chocolate in the market.
I was craving steak for today’s suhoor so I went to sultan center and got me a nice juicy wagyu ribeye, expecially cut for me. I Seasoned it with salt and pepper only, and then grilled it myself to a perfect medium. Thick and juicy.. woah what a great meal that was!
The Hienz Twisted ketchup (Fiery Chilli) was a nice touch along with the dijon mustard, and ofcourse my favorite mayo of all the spicy mazola mayo with chili.
Just noticed that Areo now comes with new flavors the above one is the dark chocolate and the below is the white chocolate. They are available in most of the co-ops across Kuwait.
Dont know if this is an old flavor or not, it comes also in caramel.
During Ramadan we have Ghabgas every week, and sometimes twice a week, people always struggle with the menu, deciding the dishes is always the hardest thing to do. I had in mind that once it’s our turn, I would scrap all the dessert dishes and only include one dish, the knafa from knafa 3albal. I mean bala elkharabee6 ely malaina minhom and get back to basics.. People love knafa, and when its served hot and fresh it basically rules.
Remember when Yousef posted about it a couple of months ago? Well a couple of days ago I had the chance to try them and the surpassed our expectations. They were really delicious and so tiny! The order comes with 30 Pcs, and cost KD 20 plus 250 fils if you want them delivered.
They came with a dip which is simillar to Wasabi’s Rock Shrimp dip. They are really perfect for group gatherings and ghabgas.
To order you can contact them on 22644440 – 55990505
Ansam just told us that Napket are having new Ramadanian frozen yogurts flavors during this blessed month, like Vimto, Baithan (almond), Hail & Saffron, and Qamardeen (Which I think is some sort of a dried apricot?). Those flavors should be interesting to try when I get a chance.
Oishii Sushi are having a Ramadan special for your Futoor, Sohoor, and Ghabgas.
Tortilla Tray: 20 pieces of spicy crab tortilla at KD9.5 Sushi Tray: 48 Sushis and you get to choose your favorite kinds starting at KD20. Sushi Burgers: 30 Sushi burgers at KD20.
All trays are well presented for any of your occasions.
I saw this steak at sultan center last weekend and I was thinking of buying one. The box contains only 1 steak each steak is priced at KD8.5. The price and the packaging were tempting.. Has anyone tried them before?
When Singore Sassi first opened in Kuwait we loved it. I even praised it in one of my reviews. It was a great new italian restaurant on the Kuwaiti scene. Unfortunately, as is the case with every Americana owned restaurant, quality control and food’s quality overall isn’t one of their concerns, and they let this amazing italian restaurant spiral down as the days went by.
It’s a shame in my opinion. I’ve been giving it a lot of chances, 3 chances actually in the past 2 months and it has failed to serve a decent meal in all of the last 3 visits. Today, we had it with the place, the last straw as they say, we’re done and aren’t going back there.
It was with the risotto fungi which is a dish we used to enjoy at Sassi’s. Today it tasted like it was something off a magi ready made mix.
It was with one of Sassi’s special dishes, the grilled sole fillet. It tasted weird. I don’t know how to describe it, but you know how a tea-soaked biscuit comes a part when lifted? it was like that. It wasn’t fresh.
I left a comment card and the manager called me as we were leaving the parking area. In his apology speech he mentioned that the sole was indeed not-so-fresh, as they’ve changed their source and their attempts to get fresh fish all failed. They’re planning to take it off the menu because of the complaints and the ‘unfreshness’ issue. They had me order eat and pay for this unworthy dish that they all knew had to be taken off the menu.
The 3 points above were only regarding today’s visit. I think 3 chances, hoping that things would turn around, are more than enough. Evidently they don’t care enough to maintain a certain standard when it comes to food quality, and they probably think we have tongues made out of rubber and can’t tell the difference between good food and bad food.
It seems that Vimto’s management here in Kuwait liked Apple’s latest policy with the iPhone that its not allowed to buy more than 2 iPhone/person .. Yes since we’re close to Ramadan they allow buying only two bottles per person of Vimto here in any Co-Op.
We got a message from Fahad² saying Fatburger is now open, and that they’re serving everything free of charge. My friends and I wanted to try it out, but we hesitated thinking it’d be packed since it’s their first day and that everything was free. We worried we’d find a huge line and end up wasting the rest of the day waiting. We ended up going there anyway. There was no line and the place was about 50% full.
This is my first time at Fatburger. I didn’t know what I was supposed to do, sit at a table and wait for the waiter? Go and order from the counter? I wasn’t sure, so I let my friend lead the way, and he led us to the counter. We ordered and waited at the table.
The waiters were extremely welcoming and enthusiastic, which was fun. Even when they yelled our orders as we were heading to the table. They do that, they get your order and yell it out to the rest of the team, and then all the team yell it right back. It was kinda awkward coz I ordered the double fatburger and everybody got to know about it. But then again they yelled everyone’s order.. many people got the double fatburger, which made me less self conscious 😛
Anyway, here is the deal. I don’t want to sound harsh. I seriously don’t. But I found the burger.. OK. The burger was nice, the bun was cold, the relish stood out with the mustard, and the mayo was bland. It overall didn’t meet my expectations. It’s better than Fudds’s, better than most places with burgers, but doesn’t come close to Johnny’s. Thats what I thought. Don’t get me wrong, I’d go there again, I enjoyed it, didn’t fall in love with it though.. I thought it was a nice juicy burger.
The fries was ok, too. I’d wait for the chili cheese fries since it was marked ‘coming soon’ on the menu. Oh, and there was a little problem mistake with the burgers, some were over seasoned, and turned out salty, and some were under-seasoned and lacked salt. Considering they’re still pretty new and have just opened, mistakes like these shouldn’t take long to be corrected and mastered.
The highlight was the Vanilla Milkshake. It rocked. Took me by surprise actually. I loved it and thought it was worth driving to Mahboola even if you weren’t in the mood for burgers.
We had a little chat with the owner, Mr. Nawaf, who was extremely nice and polite even when we criticised some of the things we ate. He explained that their Vanilla shake is made from a Kuwait made vanilla icecream. The icecream is brought over from 360’s Life with Cacao (same owners). Which really made sense to me, since I’ve had their vanilla icecream when I went there, and I completely and utterly loved it. I kept praising and recommending it to whoever is going there, coz it was perfect. Actually I was surprised that such an amazing icecream was made in Kuwait. You have to try it. Hat’s off to you guys for this amazing recipe.
To wrap things up, their burger is good, many of you will love it, I’ve had better in Kuwait, but overall it was a nice change.
Fatburger is now open everyday from 5pm to midnight. They’re located in Mahboola at Spoons food mall.
We were all in the chalet when we discovered that my brother’s birthday was only hours away (we were reminded by the birthday boy himself by the way), so my friend and I went to Fhaiheel and got him a cake.
