Solo Churros Now Open in Kuwait

    

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.

Does anyone know where I can get disposable coffee cups like these in Kuwait?

Homemade Caramel Latte

Home made caramel latte recipe

I made myself a homemade caramel latte tonight. I got the vanilla powder and caramel sauce from the Coffee Bean Tea Leaf.

The rest was very easy. Just mix a couple of spoons of vanilla powder into a shot of espresso, add a spoon of caramel sauce and mix. Then add the hot milk, top off with froth, and a drizzle of caramel sauce. It’s super easy to make, and really delicious to drink.

Note: thanks to 7ajidude for telling me from to get the vanilla powder. Thanks guys, you’re the best!

The Famous Roti Mum Bun & Drink Cafe is Now Open in Kuwait

  

I’m sure eveyone has heard of Dubai’s famous Pappa Roti cafe in Dubai Mall. It’s a small cafe that serves a seasoned bread bun with your choice of a hot or cold drink. The place is always packed, even though the menu is just like I described: a bun and a drink.

Well fans of that place would be happy to know that a similar franchise called “Roti Mum” has opened in Kuwait, in Al-Bairaq Mall in Uqaila.

I haven’t tried either cafes, but one of my friends has. She liked the one in Dubai more, but only because the seasoning on top of the bun has a stronger flavor. But she still liked the Kuwaiti one, and said that she’ll definitly be going there again.

You can find Roti Mum in Al-Bairaq Mall in Uqaila area. And the franchise is from Singapore so it’s not a local business startup.

Homemade Iced Mocha

      

I just made myself a really good homemade iced mocha, and it was super easy. These are the ingredients for two large glasses:

  • 2 large glasses filled with ice cubes
  • 4 Espresso shots
  • 4 tbs (table spoons) cocoa powder
  • 1/4 litre milk
  • Add sugar to taste
Enjoy :)

Cappuccino with Vinegar

Brought to you by Nestle…. Is this like a “Lost in Translation” kind of thing?

I found this in Sultan. I like this large cappuccino pack, I think it’s better and easier to just spoon what you want rather than rip a pack. But do I like vinegar with my coffee? No thank you.
