Do You Know That Flavored Volvic Has Lots of Sugar?

April 10, 2012 by buzfairy 9 Comments

I know there’s hidden sugars in most foods, drinks, and snacks we eat these days; even in salty unsweet stuff. I’ve even written about it before [here], but I was still shocked to know that there’s as much as 16 cubes of sugar in Volvic’s Lemon & Lime water! That’s a lot of sugar for a bottle of flavored WATER.

Even fresh fruit, like Apples and Bananas, have 3 and 4 sugar cubes each, but that’s the safe good natural kind of sugar. On the other hand the sugar added to Volvic, hot chocolate, and chocolate, Pringles, and other foods and drinks are the bad processed kind.

Read the rest of the article [here] to get more facts and numbers on the food and drinks mentioned in this picture. Also, keep an eye on what you eat and drink, so you don’t get shocked like I did.

Solo Churros Now Open in Kuwait

April 7, 2012 by buzfairy 1 Comment

Solo Churros is a new dessert place that has just opened up in Kuwait. It serves different kinds and flavors of Churros, the traditional spanish\mexican dessert.

They serve small and large churros. The large churros are made with different flavors, and stuffed with different fillings. The small ones come plain or with powdered cinnamon, and with sauce on the side.

We ordered the small churros, which turned out to be as long as bread sticks and not small at all. They come with your choice of sauce on the side: chocolate, caramel chocolate, white caramel, raspberry, nutella, and raspberry chocolate.

I personally liked the plain ones more, only because I’m used to the taste of cinnamon with sugar. But, the cinnamon churros paired very well with the sweet sauces, and so I’m always going to ordered mine with cinnamon because cinnamon is very healthy.

My favorite flavors were the caramel chocolate, the raspberry chocolate, and the white caramel. They also serve chocolate shots, but I think it only comes in milk chocolate flavor. The shots were ok, but were a little runny. I like my shots thick.

Our total came out to KD 3.450; and that was for a chocolate shot, an order of small churros with two sauces, and a bottle of water.

Solo Churros is located on the ground floor of Burj Jassim, and you can contact them on Tel.: 69996027 and Twitter @solochurros.

Nutella Fateer Mushaltet فطير مشلتت بالنوتيلا

February 27, 2012 by buzfairy Leave a Comment

I saw someone post a picture of a Nutella fateer mushaltat on Intagram a few days ago, and it got stuck in my mind ever since. So today, after having lunch at Pizzetta, we walked over to Mubarakiya, and had one at Dalag Duhail retsurant. We weren’t disappointed. It was hot and delicious, and completely satisfying.

I totally recommend you try it next time you’re in Mubarakiya.

Kingdom of Sweets & GOP Stoppers Candy Stores London

Me and my friend stumbled upon two amazing candy stores by pure coincidence today, while trying to find a mini market (i.e. baqala) in London. One of the stores is called Kingdom of Sweets while the other is called GOP Stoppers. They both are pure heaven spots for candy and chocolate lovers.

Now I’m not talking about that fancy high-end chocolates, I’m talking about the super delicious Mars, Twix, and Snickers kind. These shops have stacks of flavors I’ve never even heard of. Take M&M for example, they have them in 4-5 new unique flavors like coconut, peanut butter, and pretzel. Skittles too has like 5-6 flavors of its own too.

These two shops will blow your mind. They are both located almost beside each other, they’re only a couple of shops apart. They are both located on Oxford Street, just past Oxford circus on the edge of Soho (if you’re walking towards Tottenham Court Rd. and not Marble Arch).

New Chocolates from London

It’s only my first day in England (back after a couple of years), and I’m already overwhelmed with all these new delicious chocolates. I know that the availability of English chocolates had improved in Kuwait has improved during the past few years, and I for one am glad for it.

But it still was a nice surprise to see that many new flavors in England. Old classics like Mars, Aero, Quality Street, and cadbury are looking mighty pretty these days.

My favorite chocolate is the Double Decker, which is sadly one of the few that are not been brought to Kuwait. I found a new double pack containing two smaller bar sizes. In my opinion, they are the perfect size for a snack, even better than before.

I can clearly see that I’m going to be happy on my vacation here.

The Truth Behind the Pierre Marcolini Rumors الحقيقة وراء اشاعات محل بيير ماركوليني

October 20, 2011 by buzfairy 8 Comments

كان في اشاعات بالكويت امس عن العثور على ككاو يحتوي على الكحول في محل بيير ماركوليني اللي بالآفنيوز، و قامت صاحبة المحل بالاتصال بي لتوضيح الحقيقة وراء هذي الإشاعات. أنا شخصيا ضحكت من الاتهامات، لأنه ببساطة مستحيل وجود أي أكل أو مشروب فيه كحول بالكويت، و الا شان الناس طق مطاقق عالمحل. و لكن للأسف الناس دايما تبادر بالاتهام، و خصوصا اذا كان الموضوع حساس دينيا

للي مايعرف المحل، اهو من أرقى محلات الككاو بالكويت و الكيلو فيه من ٤٠ دينار و طالع، و انشاءاالله شغلهم ما يتأثر بهالإشاعات السخيفة

Somebody, whose identity has not been revealed, has accused Pierre Marcolini Chocolate of selling products containing alcohol.
Two independent analyses of the same product conducted in Belgium and in Kuwait have proved that the incriminated products contain NO ALCOHOL.
When importing our products, samples are systematically provided to the Authorities for analysis. Products made for the Kuwaiti market, independent of the products sold in Europe, are made sure to contain no alcohol.
Despite our denegation and the negative test results we have been accused of illicit selling of alcohol and our shop is temporary closed.
We, at Pierre Marcolini Kuwait, are honest and hard working persons and we do all possible efforts to provide you with the best possible product and the best possible service. We respect the laws to this country and would never engage in illegal action. We treat you as valuable customers and friends.
We ask for your understanding and support in these difficult times. We will fight for our rights and the recognition of our innocence.

‎اللهم من أراد بنا سؤ فرده عليه وأشغله بنفسه ، لقد ادعت امرأة ( اللهم اعوذ من حاسد اذا حسد ) بان محلنا بيير ماركوليني للشوكلاة يبيع شوكلاة بالكحول ، اعوذ بالله من هذا الادعاء وطبعا بواسطة ودفع الرشاوي للذين لا يخافون الله جل جلاله تم لها ما ادعت وتم اغلاغ المحل حتى بعد اثبات خلو الشوكلاة مما ادعت وعلى هذا ايضا قامت بنشر ادعائها في شركة للمسجات لتلصق التهمه لكن نحن لن نسكت و سنفضح كل مكائدهم واللهم اجعل تدبيرهم في تدميرهم

Rolo Biscuit Chocolate is back

September 8, 2011 by buzfairy 5 Comments

Update: I finally tried my favorite resurrected choco snack, and I have to retract my previous enthusiasm. I don’t like them very much now. The new treats don’t have enough crunch in them, and are loaded with a ton of caramel. Try them if you want, but they’re not exactly like they used to be in the old days, and they aren’t the ones I used to love.

These have got to be one of the yummiest snacks out there. They haven’t made these in years and years, not since atleast ’04-’05, but I found them in Sultan Salmiya, selling for kd 1.6 per pack. I’ve looked everywhere in England and europe for these, then I just gave up. I highly recommend you try them, they’re really good.
