I posted before about Obama visiting a burger joint to pick up some burgers, well he did it again this time he picked up burgers for himself and his staff. The cool part is they drove into town in unmarked vehicles with a small entourage. Didn’t know he could do that. [Link]

I would love to have an automatic pancake machine in my kitchen but the one pictured above costs $3,500! [Link]

I’ve been eating healthy for nearly 3 months now and so far I’ve lost 5KG dropping my weight down from 89KG to 84KG. As my height is 186cm that puts my BMI at 24.3 which is where it should be. Keep in mind I wasn’t planning on losing weight with my diet, I just had to stop eating some types of food due to my acid reflux problem and the weight loss was just a bonus. I am still eating whatever I want I just have stayed away from two things, fried food and fast food. It was difficult in the beginning because I used to have fast food for lunch every day but once I found a replacement things became much easier. I no longer feel like eating junk food, I actually can’t stand it now.

I’ve already posted about two places which I’ve started eating at, Salad Creations and Macaroni Grill. Another place I’ve started going to is Nando’s. I passed by the first time after they started advertising on my blog and since then I’ve started popping in once a week for lunch. I haven’t tried many dishes there because I’m hooked on their Chicken Burger. They have 4 types of marinated chicken, I tried mild the first time but it wasn’t too spicy for me so I took it hot the second time and now thats how I always have it. The chicken is grilled which fits in my diet and the dish comes with a side order of your choice. I tried the corn kernels (pictured above) but I didn’t like it, my favorite side order is their coleslaw which is really good. The dish is KD2.250 which fits nicely in my daily lunch budget. Sometimes I have the Perri-Perri Hommous which is hommous with their spicy sauce, also very good. I think thats for KD1.500. Anyway they’re located at the Avenues in the back near Macroni Grill and Chili’s.

There is another place I have lunch at often and want to post about but I am worried if I do the place will start getting more packed and they might increase their prices so I am still thinking about it.

Someone needs to make and sell these in Kuwait. [Link]

Not a big salad fan myself but here is a link to 101 easy to prepare simple salads. Very minimalistic. [Link]

Marble Slab just sent over a ton of ice cream to my office with a note saying they’ve opened up at the new 360 Mall. I posted about their Kout branch before but that location was really too far and out of my way.

Now the question is should I share the ice cream with my coworkers or keep it all for me *evil grin*.

They’ve changed their fries to regular ones and they’re using what looks like regular sliced cheese for the burgers. I am pissed.

Here is a link to my Fuddruckers burger review from last year. [Link]

Although Coffee Republic has been open for a while I only passed by and tried them the other day at 360. I had heard of their Kinder milk shakes and wanted to try it but when I got there I was amazed at the variety of shakes they had. My favorites were the Kinder Bueno, Nutella, Ferrero Rocher, Maltesers and Cadbury Flake milkshakes. How is one meant to to choose just one of those? Now I need to go back at least 5 times so I could try each flavor.

The picture above is of Canada’s largest burger. Looks really, really, really greasy. [Link]

Thanks Ray

So this is whats opening up in what was supposed to be Arby’s at the Avenues food court. SUCKS!

Found KitKat Cookies & Cream at Sultan Center. I tried one but it wasn’t that great. Still prefer KitKat Senses.

The Noodle House that’s located next door to Carino’s on the Gulf Road is now officially open. I guess I will be having lunch or dinner there this weekend.

Wagamama has finally confirmed an opening date which at the moment is set for the first week of September. This will be their first store in Kuwait and they will be opening at the 360 Mall. Here is a link to their local website. [Link]

Fancy Fast Food is a website where they take ordinary meals from fast food chains and give them an extreme makeover to make them look fancy. For example the dish above was created using two pieces of spicy fried chicken, a chicken wrap and an order of red beans and rice all from Popeyes. [Link]

Has anyone noticed the new biscuit cone they’re using for KDD Silver ice cream? The color is a lot lighter, it has a powdery feel to it which I hate and it also tastes different. Why change something that was perfect?

Note: Also this isn’t new but I noticed awhile back that Silver no longer has caramel inside or at least the quantity is much much less. Before I used to be able to see some caramel streaks in Silver but not anymore.
