Friday afternoon, I went to Rawda Co-op to take care of some grocery shopping. I had not eaten anything all day since I was so bummed out after Thursday night. But as I was walking out, I came across a baked potato stand. The smell overwhelmed me and, since I am a sucker to backed potato, I just had to try it. So I ordered me a potato which they cut in the middle and fill with cheddar cheese, topped with ketchup, mayo, salt, pepper, and other stuff you can add, but that was it for me. It was definitely one of the best baked potatoes I have ever had and its for only 750 fils. You gotta pay 4 times as much in restaurant where it tastes half as good. Highly recommend it.

Been in Kuwait for over a year now and never tried Hardees. I barely used to have it in Lebanon except when I felt like their Roast Beef. I did end up trying it two nights ago, even if it were accidently. I ordered a chicken fillet combo and after I left, I remembered the pic posted on Mark's post about hotdogs and how good it looked, so I turned around and got me a hotdog sandwich..... it was a total disappoinment. As far as I'm concerned, the only time I will visit Hardees is when I am in the mood for a Roast Beef, otherwise they got nothing else to my liking. Oh yeah, I also like their cookies:)

I saw this poster on the road and thought I would share it with all Apple Bee's lovers. I think its been there for a while, but I just spotted it last night. Moving on, I spent all my world cup days there with a lot of people including Steve, Noush, Tal, Rampurple, Stallion, Maze, and many others. Cheers guys to great memories!!

A guy was challenged to eat 52 pieces of sushi in 20 minutes. If he loses, he has to pay for them all.

Wanna know if he made it?

I was never a big fan of sushi but I do enjoy having it except anything that involves salmon. I can handle crab and shrimp but salmon is just way too fishy for me:) Back in Lebanon, I never bothered to try it but since I came to Kuwait, I was tempted cos everyone seemed to like it so I decided to give it a shot. Tried several sushi places in Kuwait so far but Edo is the first one I post a review about. Its a very cozy place and the food is pretty good, although I have tried better. They do have a diverse menu though. I tried the beef terriyaki, and california maki. Also I tried something which is about green onions wrapped around with beef, and I honestly dont remember the name. There were also fried shrimps and bits from here and there. Although they serve 8 pieces per order, their pieces are pretty small.

I remember when I was a kid, I would go with cousins and have falafel, shawerma, fatteh, and other lebanese food at small snack places in the area. They would have a small cooking area with a counter and a cashier and a bunch of plastic tables and chairs outside. Kind of places where you order, eat, relax, and leave in 30 minutes or so. I kept going to such places till my last day in Lebanon. Yesterday afternoon, while trying to evade traffic, I spotted this small Lebanese restaurant in Hawalli on Sharahbeel Road called "Al Reef Al Libnany" so I thought I would give it a try. I tried the fettah there and it was incredible. They give you a big bowl with a big plate of vegetables and pickles. Didnt have my camera on me so couldnt take a picture of the food, but took a snap of the place today on my way to work.

Almost everyday when I leave my work at the bank and head to my second job, I usually dont have time to have lunch so I go for the quickest thing and the easiest thing to eat. This is my typical while-driving snack :) Frankom is gonna kick my ass after seeing this pic :P Peace man:)

When I leave my job at the bank at around 3:30 to go to my second job, which I have to be at by 4:00 and is in Sulaibiya which takes 30 mins to be there, I sometimes need a quick bite to eat. So what is on the way, the fastest, and isnt too bad to eat? -----> McDonalds! Luckily there is one facing Ahli Bank, where I work, and on my way; so I made a stop yesterday after work, got me 3 small hamburgers, fries, and a coke. I love the burgers there, the plain simple ones. They taste great and easy to eat. And that is very important since I am eating and driving; no way can I drive and eat a Big Mac, for example. I can finish off one of those small burgers in 3 bites!! If you think thats bad, I have a friends in Lebanon who used to fold the burger in half and put it all in his mouth in one bite! I dont know many people who are fans of McDonalds, but one blogger I know of who does like it is Frankom.

Last Thursday night we went to Cafe Supreme for a late dinner and coffee. Been going there a lot recently and I have grown attached to the place. We got there at around 10:15 after leaving the house at 9:00; took me that long cos of all the traffic. It was the first time I go to that area on a Thursday night, now I know why I have always avoided going there on weekends. Anyway, got there all stressed out especially that it took us a while to find a parking spot; actually we didnt, ended up giving the car to vallet, which I hate! We got there, and found a table and was able to relax then. I had the Quesadilla sandwich and some of Chicken Roll, both were greatIt was a chilled and relaxed night, I enjoyed it.

Went for a late dinner last night to Casper & Gambini's in Marina mall. We didn't know where to go; we were simply driving away from the traffic and surprisingly we got to Marina Mall, which was extremely packed as well but the crescent was empty for some reason. Anyway, we got to Casper and it was pretty empty; other than us, there were two other tables. We had some of their funky breads, dinner, and coffee. I had the Philli Steak, and it was incredible; I highly recommend it. It was a chilled night, but did end up going home late cos of the traffic.

Its been a while since I have been to Souk Sharq. So yesterday, I decided to go and see what's been happening there. Man, was it packed. Not only did it take me 45 minutes to find parking, I we also couldn't find any empty tables in any cafe. We ended up finding a vacancy at La Marina Cafe. Although I had just eaten, for some reason, I suddenly got hungry so I ordered their California Cheese Burger. It was actually two small burger, bigger than the usual slider and smaller than the usual burger. It was pretty good. But it wasn't one of those meals that I would look forward to, so I doubt I will be going there again.

A new restaurant called Pizza Cone should be opening soon in Bahr Center. Never tried pizza as a cone. Looks interesting and I'm curious; but one thing is for sure, it will be messy:)

Another chilled out night at Hang Out with friends. This time I tried the Grilled Cheesy sandwich and it was pretty good but definitely not worth the 2.1 KD I paid for it. It is simply melted cheese in toast bread. So far that plus the Club Bites are the only two edible things, everything else I tried sucked. Although I keep complaining about their food, I must admit its chilled to sit there, very quiet and relaxed and you get to have a normal conversation with those with you.

I'm a chips freak especially Lay's. I always have a stock at home cos my favorite chilling session would be a big bag of chips, a couple of coke bottles, and a nice DVD. I spotted these new flavors from Lay's at the market yesterday and got all 3 to try them out:) So far, tried the balsimic vinegar (on the right) and its pretty good.

The hotel designed a hall especially for Ramadan. You got daraweesh, a vocalist, entertainment for kids, and open buffet. Its for Iftar, Sohoor, or Ghabka. Its only 8 KD per person + 10% service charge. I remember I tried the Lebanese restaurant there once a while ago and it was pretty good so am sure they will have good food here too. Bon appetite :) Cheers!

Update: Okay. Turns out its been there since the very beginning, as Mark brought to my attention :P Oops. Well it was the first time I see it and I took photos. Weird I never spotted it before. Well, in that case, consider this a reminder then:)
