We received an email from Khanfaroosh last week, it’s a home bakery that specializes in 2 types of Kuwaiti desserts: the traditional gers 3gaily and a cononut flavored one. They wanted to send us a sample to review.

Aϊshti’s Aizone to open it’s first branch in Kuwait soon in Avenues phase II.

Thanks bo9ale7.

Usually when a restaurant opens in Kuwait and is a franchise it becomes a hit for awhile and then deteriorates. Just like Nino and Entrocote of Alfanar. But when we went to Café de Paris in Albede3 last thursday, I was surprised with the improvement.

*imagining Rgaya o Sbeecha with a khaisha full of cash coming out of the bank X1000*

Thanks Bo9ale7.

We went back to ALThuba3iya Runway and saw some pretty neat 3D action. I think it is called 3D because the plane floats in the air, suspended, and feels like there is a little invisible thread keeping it up in the air. Or they call 3D for a completely different reason. I don’t really know.

DHL sent me a package the other day telling about their improved service. They sent a brochure and a form to fill and sign. It’s not really a brand new service but more like a revamped @Home service and they’ve changed the name to Easy Shop.

The positive changes they’ve made to their service are:

1-Internet tracking.
2-Shipment leaves within 24 hours from it’s arrival to your US mailbox and you’ll get notified twice via sms and email. Once when it leave and once again when it arrive.
3-4 days transit period.
4- Concierge service.

And there is one big change they’ve done and is, in my opinion, a very big mistake:

They won’t deliver to our homes any more. We pick a service point (they have 4 points all over Kuwait) and we go ourselves to collect the packages.

If you want to learn more about this service then you should read This post and This one too.

My wife was searching the net for a good chocolate cake to order and she came across Mark’s blog. He mentioned previously the Slider Station’s chocolate pudding. So yesterday Me, wife and INM decided to go there at night, we sat and ordered 3 chocolate pudding with vanilla ice cream, it took around 15 mins to be served. When it came it was EXTREMELY HOT! and it was a large portion for a one person’s. But it was simply AMAZING ! Raw3a ! I’m highly recommending it, especially for the chocolate lovers!

Sorry for the bad picture because it was so dark in there and i couldn’t even use my flash coz i dont want to burn the picture.. so this is the best i can do.

P.S. if the owner is reading please tell me what was the main ingredient.. is it toast ? I was told by someone that its made of cerelac.

I got sms from Hamad telling me there is demonstration in front of KSE building, Anyone can confirm it?

Thanks Hamad.

Thanks Roudan for the picture.

My friend was in Avenues phase II and took the picture above. He said it looked like another big food court is about to be opened in phase II.

Thanks HKR

Viva’s located near fono’s.

Thanks loco.

We posted about this back in april. It was reported then that they’d open the Alraya branch in July.

Thanks loco.

Remember my previous posts about the blue and green amber ? Today i’ve received from UPS my custom made blue amber misbah. Yes finally ! it went from Dominican Republic directly, So i decided to take Ali with me and head directly to souq mobarkia to make it a real misbah ( ya3ni re7t ashekaa ) 🙂

Anyway Thanks to Ali

I was told that the gas stations in Kuwait won’t be operating tomorrow due to a strike. I don’t have anymore info about this. We just filled up all of our cars’ tanks.

Update:
The strike was only in KNPC stations, and Mr. Solutions just said that it has ended coz the KNPC management agreed to give the union what they want.

My brother told me I should post about this PS3 game. Apparently it’s something a lot of guys have been waiting for 😛 It’s available now in AlRehab in Hawally.

Our friend got his neck hurt while playing volleyball in the chalet and we rushed him to Al Adan hospital.

The whole Adan experience was a sad one. I went in expecting the worst kind of doctors with the worst attitudes. I expected to have a bad experience as a result of incompetent staff. But that wasn’t the case.. that wasn’t the case at all. The doctors were doing their jobs to the best of their abilities and the nurses were running around to help as much as they could. I’m not going to talk about the receptionists because, simply, they do not qualify as human beings (inshallah ma3ashat’hom zaqqoom bichbood’hom) so i won’t mention them (again).

The one thing that was bringing the whole thing down.. the one thing that was wrong with the hospital (aside from the building itself) was the people. The patients and their families. As soon as we were by the doctor’s door the shoving and cutting inline started. We saw our number flash on the screen and went to the doctor to find a whole other family entering before us and taking our turn. And when they came out, another women wanted to cut inline and even had the nerve to feel offended when we refused to let her go in before we do.

When we were in the doctor’s office and our friend being diagnosed, there was atleast 5 attempts to open the door. The nurse had to lock the door. I asked how often this happens, and they said they visit Top Master Locksmith to get tools to fix their doors atleast twice a month.

There are always people complaining about the doctors in Kuwait and how they’re not doing their job. How they get misdiagnosed and stuff.. But now I know, in my opinion, the main cause behind such complaints.

The Kuwaiti people need to take lessons and be parented all over again before we are let out on the streets. We should go to some sort of a facility with courses where they teach us how to respect our own boundaries.. and then a whole set of other courses to teach us all about other people’s rights. How do you expect the doctor to give you a fair treatment when the nurse has to block the door by force as to not let other people in while you’re being diagnosed? How do you expect to get the doctor’s full attention when there is some idiot outside the door banging like a maniac wanting in? What goes through YOUR mind when YOU cut inline??

I think the state of Kuwait’s hospitals perfectly fits the state of it’s People’s mentality.

My friend Talal who is a student in Dubai just wrote us saying there is a big issue going on with all the Kuwaiti credit cards (Visa, Master, and even Visa electron) that’s been used in Dubai within the last 6 months. He said they’re suspending all the cards and issuing new ones due to recent theft incidents. Make sure you always do a credit card comparison.

He also said that NBK is going to send him his card via DHL, and that if someone who’s in dubai and in desperate need for cash, they can lift the block on his card just temporarily in order for him to withdraw some money and then block it again right away. Click here to learn more about an alternative which is better than using your credit cards for loans.

Did you guys know about this thing? I didn’t. All I know is that they’re replacing all of their cards with new ones with a chip in them. Sort of an update and not something serious.

Thanks Talal.

Update:
I just spoke with someone from NBK and he confirmed that there have been many pretty big hacks and theft incidents on credit & debit cards used in Dubai in the past 6 months. And it’s happening with all the other banks too, not just the NBK.

Today i found out HNM wearing these weird looking naked slippers, It may look difficult to walk around in without the straps, but the slipper sticks to your feet like magnet. There are lots of colors to choose from too.

We went today to the Men Time spa in Almuhallab mall, Me, Mishary and my 2 cousins. We booked an appointment for 4 people almost a week ahead. The spa is much smaller than the spa I reviewed last week (The Day Spa) and a step down in almost every way.
