Food

My husband was whatsapping me asking what’s for lunch. Considering my situation right now, I wasn’t in the mood to cook delicious meal, so i was thinking of easy to make recipes that my dad’s house help can cook for us. He didn’t like any of the suggestions I gave him so I said “Let’s go out”. He wanted an American fast food but I was in the mood for some sushi, i was really craving it for weeks. And off we went to Kaizen restaurant located in Grand Avenues-The Avenues Mall exactly next to Casper & Gambini’s & also under Elevation Burger.

The atmosphere was very relaxing, loved the colors & the interior, staff greeted us warmly & helped us through the menu. I gotta say that the staff got 1 of our orders wrong even when the place was empty, we were the only ones eating there, if it was crowded I’d understand if they made that mistake but I was kinda surprised because no one was there except us.

The variety of the menu is good, not that wide like other Japanese restaurants but it was good. The prices are much better than other places & the quality of the food was good.

Let’s check out what we’ve ordered;

This is going to be a very quick review for this restaurant because Baby Jana was sleepy, hungry & grumpy & I couldn’t take my time in taking lots of pictures not taking a good look at the menu the ingredients of each dish, not to mention it was very crowded mashallah.

We were supposed to go & try the Turkish restaurant Sutis but it was full house & a long queue was waiting to be seated so we had a tour around the avenues & I remembered people recommending Olive Garden-The Italian Restaurant. Off we headed to the restaurant & goof thing we had a table outside. The menu doesn’t have that much of dishes, we wanted to have a salad at the beginning but then our waiter told us that each main dish comes with it a salad or soup. Good? wait til you read the rest.

We ordered 2 main dishes, one with a salad & the other with a soup. i really thought the salad will be a mini portion on the side of the dish. I was shocked to see a huge bowl coming to our table (will talk about the dish below). The portion of the soup was also good. And guess what? all of them are refill, The Salad, The Soup, The bread Sticks & The Sodas, all refill

I can say the quality of food & service was really good!

I’ve heard alot of positive comments about this restaurant. So many people recommended the place for it’s delicious food & efficient service, even my sister tried it before me & told me to go & check it out (it should be the other way around).

Dad, Juju & I went to the avenues because Juju loves the place alot & feels very happy going around the place (Grand Avenues) because of the beautiful lights. When we got hungry, I asked Dad to go & check this restaurant & he didn’t object.

A Kuwaiti guy greeted us (probably the owner not sure though). Gave us the menu & took our order, he was really nice. The food arrived on time, didn’t take that long. The atmosphere was really beautiful, the location is just perfect (Soku). The place is big enough & the staff are very friendly & sweet, they kept playing & talking with Juju the whole time to keep her occupied so we can have our meal in peace The price was kinda reasonable & from my point of view totally worth it coz the food was really good & I can’t wait to go back again & try other dishes Didn’t eat that much because it was dinner & I’m on a diet

I’ve been wanting to try this place for ages but no one was willing to & ofcourse I won’t go & dine alone there. But last Friday, I managed to convince my dad to give it a try & off we went.

The place is really big & spacious, the staff were very friendly & the service was pretty good. Food arrived on time except the Seafood Ramen took a while. What I loved was the portion of each dish, it was really big & more than enough. Yes, it’s a lil bit pricey but totally worth it, because as I said the portion is big & the food is delicious.

Their baby chairs are so cute. They can be attached to the table, so your baby’s feet will be hanging in the air

When you’re dieting, you want to eat healthy yet delicious light meals/food. I’ve been hearing about the good quality of YasminFarms products. So, last week I went to Sultan Centre Salmiya & headed to Farmers corner to check Alban Dairy Products. Mashallah, the corner was kinda small but full of dairy products. I loved how they were packed, the bottle were really cute, specially the yogurt ones. I’m keeping them ofcourse to be used later on

So, I got me Cow Labna, Cow & Goat Halloumi & Raspberry, Mango & Pomegrenate LowFat yogurts. The thing is, I didn’t know they had low & full fat products, I just got my things & realized that I had a mix of low & full fat products

The cow labna was good; salty & soury at the same time, I thought it was supposed to be sweet. I love my labna sweet, I guess I should have taken the goat one (next time).

Dad tried the Halloumi, he said both were good & they almost have the same taste (Cow & Goat). I tasted both, they were really good & tasty. Oneday, I’ll make me a Halloumi Sandwich for lunch

Now, the winning product of Alban Dairy in my opinion is the fruit yogurt. To my surprise, I got them lowfat which is good All of them were really really good & DELICIOUS. A great snack for work or when you’re starving at night, you can have some. The most delicious one was the mango yogurt, sooo fresh & yummy, it was like eating a real mango.

Next time I’ll be trying nshallah the goat labna & laban & the strawberry yogurt

P.S. What’s missing is the calories. I think Alban Dairy should pay attention to that info & add it on their products.

I received an invitation from Kayan Restaurants to visit the newly opened franchise Rowdy Taco which is also known in the US as RustyTaco. It actually opened on the same day (yesterday) without any kind of advertisement but it was crowded & the queue was really long mashallah. I believe it’s because of the location (Alia & Ghalia Towers). Of course the place was filled mostly with Americans & foreigners but also Kuwaitis were spotted there.

We were greeted by the Mrs. Jillian Marshall who gave a brief idea about the place & explained why they’ve changed the name (RUSTY) She recommended some tacos to try & said that 1 or 2 tacos won’t be enough, 3 & more will be fine (I was thinking of my diet ) Luckily, the tacos were really very light (not all but most of them).

We were seated outside, the weather was amazing around 7pm. As I said the queue was really long but ofcourse we managed to get our order immediately My dad & I tried many kinds of tacos (pictures below), most of them if not all were really good & tasty.

Those who are on a diet are supposed to have an free day/meal at the end of every week. For me, I decided to have my free meal after every month (after every week will be when I reach my goal). Anyways, so that day, I wanted to have burger and thought of trying Burger Boutique which I haven’t tried before. Juju, sister, dad & I went to Alraya for a delicious dinner.

The service was super fast, the food was really delicious, tasty & fresh, and the staff were super awesome. Everything was perfect.

To my surprise, I didn’t finish my burger (ate only half), had only 3 pieces of onion rings & a lil bit of commando fries (my stomach is shrinkin )

This is what we’ve ordered;
