A friend of mine sent me this picture of The Meat Company from the outside at 360 Mall. Looks like they’re nearly done with the interior which means they should be opening soon.

Thanks B!

Update: A reader posted a comment that it will be opening this Sunday but I don’t have any official confirmation yet.

Why does Sultan Center in Lebanon carry Cadbury Chocolate Milk and the one in Kuwait doesn’t? It used to be my favorite chocolate milk back when they did carry it. I bought one at first and drank it while still in the supermarket parking lot and then I went back inside and got two more which I also drank on the spot. Still tastes as good I remember it.

It wasn’t very upsetting for me to watch but Nat isn’t going to eat fish ever again so don’t watch this if you get grossed out easily. [YouTube]

I passed by and spoke to the manager today and he told me they were opening on Sunday. He said they “might” open Saturday night but he can’t confirm since they still have some training to do.

I hate the way Pepsi and Coca Cola have reduced their can sizes back down to 250ml. One of the reasons I used to prefer Like Cola was the fact that they had 330ml cans while Pepsi and Coke had 250ml. Maybe someone should bring back Like…

The future is now! [Link]

Thanks Sabmerc!

The new location is open under Coffee Republic at the 360 Mall and the seating area is pretty nice.

I was taking this shortcut through Shamiya today and I accidentally found what I think is the only Filfila branch left in Kuwait. I thought all of them shutdown but it looks like there is one left.

I get emails from people quite often asking me to try their desserts but I always turn them down politely since chocolate is one of the things I am supposed to stay away from because of my acid reflux. But, the past week I’ve been craving chocolate for some odd reason so when I got an email from Hot Pot asking me to try their chocolate pudding I decided what the hell let me give it a shot.

They delivered 4 small pots of hot chocolate pudding to my office and I decided to share it with some co-workers. Firstly I have to say the ceramic pots the pudding come in are very cool. Once everyone was done with their pudding I forced them all to hand me back the pots so I could take them back home with me. I like the very simple design of it. Taste wise the chocolate pudding reminded me a lot of the Slider Station one which is pretty good. I actually think they use the same chocolate because they’re very similar flavor wise so I definitely recommend it.

I got my hot pots for free but their prices are as follows:
Big Box: One big bowl enough for 12 to 14 people KD12
Small Box: Four small bowls enough for 4 people KD5

They officially launched two days ago on the 1st of November. They deliver everyday except for Friday. To order you can call or sms them on 60023030

Look’s like Hard Cook has some competition.

Very cool. [Link]

A friend of mine was passing by Wagamama at 360 Mall and managed to capture this picture of the interior. Looks like they are sticking to their signature long shared tables but they also seem to have some smaller 4 person booths. Wagamama was supposed to open in September but they never did.

Thanks B!

I was being sarcastic earlier today with my worlds largest hummus post in which I also jokingly stated that the next record would be the world’s largest tabbouleh. Well a couple of hours ago they actually went ahead and broke the record for the world’s largest tabbouleh weighing a massive 3.5 ton and kicking Israel’s ass once again who only managed to put together a 2.6 ton tabbouleh. Is the largest shawerma next? We can only hope. [Link]

If breaking the record with the world’s largest kebbe dish wasn’t enough Lebanon has just broken the record for the largest hummus. Take that Israel! Coming soon, world’s largest tabbouleh… [Link]

Note: I am being sarcastic

Update: No fucking way!! I just read this in the news..

Only one day after breaking a Guiness book record with a huge Hummus plate that weighed more than two tons, Lebanon broke today a third Guinness record for food this year, this time with a 3557 Kgs plate of Tabbouleh.

That’s freaky how my sarcastic comment turned into a reality.

Also another news source stated the following:

The newly acquired title surpasses Israel’s 2.6 ton by 3557 kilograms.

So take that Israelx2!
