A pizza place in Dubai took pizza delivery to a whole new level. You can order your favorite pizza by pressing a button on a fridge magnet.
The technology is run through bluetooth, and will order your pre-set favorite pizza for you, but it’s still a very cool gadget.

McDonald’s have extended their breakfast hours to 11.30 am. The extension isn’t much, but it sure gives us more time to enjoy their delicious breakfast.

The Halloum Muffin was a new breakfast sandwich introduced by McDonald’s 2 years ago. It was delicious and light, and I missed it a lot when they stopped serving it last year. They then introduced a halloum Chibata sandwich a few months back, but it wasn’t as tasty as the original Halloum Muffin.
McDonald’s decided to bring the Halloum Muffin back again (well not technically a muffin, it’s still served on chibata bread), this time with olive tapenade. I haven’t tried it yet, though I was this close to ordering a McDo breakfast this morning. If I had known about the new Halloum sandwich, I would’ve definitely went to McDo myself to try it out.
I’m not having very high expectations, but I do wish it’s better than the old chibata one. This sandwich is on my to do list for tomorrow.
BTW, it seems that McDonald’s have extended their breakfast hours till 11.30.

I’m in California right now, which means that I have to eat at In-N-Out. You can’t skip on their burgers if you’re down here. However, our experience today was lack luster and shocking.
The burgers and fries were horrible and almost disgusting. It’s easy to say that something was extremely wrong, because the food we had would make you run the other way and turn you into a vegetarian. The burger was awful, salty and oily with a hard crusted bun. The fries were carton like, both looks wise and taste wise. The only plus in this whole mess was the semi delicious chocolate milkshake, which strongly reminded me of McDonald’s old shakes.
All in all, it was a shockingly horrible experience. I’m just glad the place was cheap, and lunch didn’t cost me much ($18 for 2 burgers, fries snf soft drinks; and 1 milkshake).

I just read that there’s a Saudi Jiddawi restaurant in Dubai, owned and run by Saudi ladies. The place serves authentic Jidawwi dishes like Mu6abbag, Kabsa, and other things. I’m not sure if their Mu6abbag is the same as our Kuwait one. In fact, I’m pretty sure it’s something entirely different. But it’s got to be an important dish, because they have more than a dozen varieties of it.
The Restaurant is called Mutabbag O Masoub, and is located on Jumeirah Rd. in Um Suqqaim. Their phone number is 04 3282444, and their exact location is beside London Hospital and behind the Iranian restaurant.

Here are a few pictures from our lunch today at The Olive Garden, in Grand Avenues. We ordered two starters, two mains, and two drinks. We also got a complimentary soup and salad (you also get one with every entree). The dishes we had today were:
We ordered from the lunch menu, which offers many of the items on their regular menu, only in smaller portions and lower prices. You still get a soup or salad with your main dish, even if you order from this lunch menu. Price wise, I was shocked at how reasonable all of the dishes were.
Our total bill was Kd 12.5. I usually comment on the food, what I liked and what I didn’t like. I’m not going to do that today. I’ll just leave you with the pictures, and strongly recommend you try the drinks (not pictured), which were really really great.
Service was excellent. It was friendly, speedy, and competent. I liked their service a lot.

Say hello to McDo’s latest local addition, the Grilled Halloum on Ciabatta.
We tried McDonald’s latest breakfast sandwich this morning. I’m so glad to see them introducing a plain cheese sandwich again, after they stopped serving the very tasty Halloum Muffin a few months ago.
The Halloum Ciabatta was light and fluffy. The cheese was a little rubbery for me, but then again, so was the halloum muffin at the beginning. You get used to it after a few bites, and stop noticing. This new sandwich tasted good and was super light and healthy, and such a great change to their other oily meaty breakfast muffins. After this one, the other ones just tasted too oily and very heavy.

Upper Crust, the pizzeria place in The Village – Abu Al-Hasaniya, opened its 2nd branch in Kuwait a couple of weeks ago. The new place is in United’s new high-rise tower, in Kuwait City. It’s the very pretty building with all the colourful lights.
The space inside is small, but has a large kitchen and a good spaced counter bar, plus another one by the windows. There are probably only 5 or 6 tables inside the restaurant, ranging in length from a 2-seater to a long 8-person table. But they do have a nice seating area outside, which you should take advantage of in these days’ amazing weather.
Upper Crust’s Kuwait city branch offers delivery and takeout (tel. 222943200), just like their Abu Al-Hasaniya branch.

I was getting breakfast from McDonald’s this morning, and the lady there told me about these new cheese bites. I said I’ll give them a try, especially since they only costs 500 fils.
There are 5 pieces in the tiny box. These french cheese bites sounded like something appetizing because they’re made with yummy camembert cheese. But honestly, taste wise, they were just normal. And I think they’re mixed with mash potatoes or something similar. I liked them mainly because of the mash potato taste, and that the cheese isn’t salty.
