We went to the Butcher Shop in Avenues mall last saturday, and it was my first visit to Kuwait’s branch, I’ve been to the one in dubai numerous of times and used to like it at first. The one in Dubai started off strong with quality meat and started it down spiral only months after it’s opening.

I went to the one in Avenues coz my friends said that it’s good. They’ve tried it and they liked it.

We were 7 and we ordered 7 steaks, 5 T-Bones and 2 Rib eyes. one of them was to be cooked Medium-rare, 2 medium-wells and 3 mediums. The waitress was confused and we had to repeat the order multiple of times and she still did not get it right, so we asked her to retake the whole order and rewrite it. She was a mess.

The starters came and were superb. The prawns with cream and lemon were very good.

The main dishes, the steaks, came and were a joke. they were all overcooked. All shades of gray when we started to cut em and not a single medium in there. They messed up the whole order (well except the rare steak, coz it came out pretty rare). When we complained to the waiter(s) they all seamed to repeat one phrase, which was “this is our medium steaks in here.” The manager, who stood still and did not come even though he was looking directly at our table and hearing us, came to us after we asked to talk to him, he said the same thing too. He did not seem interested in our opinion nor in our dissatisfaction. Even after we got real angry he did not seem to be of much help and was annoyingly careless. He did however change 4 of our steaks in the end. (3ogob malawa3 chboodna)

The experience was an awful one. The manager needs to be changed coz he didn’t seem to know what he was doing. I wouldn’t go there anymore, not only because they did not know the difference between a medium and a well-done, but because the service, the manager, the chef and the quality of their meats are of low standards. charging 9+ KDs for this kind of steaks is a rip off too. If you’re in a mood for good steaks treat yourselves to Terrace Grill in J.W. Mariott’s or Gaucho’s instead.

Happy belated 25th and 26th of february to you all. I was at the chalet during this holiday and took many pictures of the foaming parades that took place in both Alzoor and Alkhiran.

My friend sent me a one dozen sample of basbosas from their newly launched home business, Lgaima sweets, for me to try and review. Let me start off this review by saying that I’m not a fan of the traditional Basbosa, and that was one of the main reasons why I loved my mother’s ‘Basbosa wanabee‘, because she doesn’t use coconut in it. I’m not a fan of coconuts.. I loathe Bounty the chocolate bar.

The article talks about the tv interview where Prince Sultan Bin Fahad had lashed out on the tv presentors. The article doesn’t add anything new, but it has an interesting take on the matter, and is a good read nevertheless. It shows the repercussions of that interveiw and how the “common” people’s perception of the royals is changing/changed since the interview.

It’s a very good wake up call, don’t you think? for people not to push their lucks and abuse their status.

Read the article HERE.

Thanks Noura.

I wrote awhile ago about BosaBall when I first learned that such game existed. My friends and cousins have been playing the game lately and they’re saying that it is so much fun.

In our last Bahrain trip my friends wanted to experience swimming with the dolphins. We went to this place where they have dolphin shows and stuff. My friends took their swimsuits with them and I took my camera. This great piece of article features such experience.

I don’t know whats going on with me and my sleeping patterns. I have to, HAVE to, sleep atleast 2wice a week for over 12 hours. Meaning that I get back home after work, have lunch and then sleep till 6 am tomorrow morning! and this goes on every week. I only have 3 full weekdays.

I don’t feel like I’m missing out on activities or outings. Although missing my family’s gathering 3 times in a row is not something I’m proud of, I never miss a gathering.. but I don’t feel guilty! I just love going back from work to my bed and sleep for the rest of the day. I look forward to it, actually.

I heard it’s supposed to get better with time, as in I’m supposed to get used to it and start adjusting to the hideous timings of work..so far, I am not.
