2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003
A friend of mine is selling a Herman Miller ‘Resolve System’ which simply put is a very cool and trendy workspace. The system which he is selling (check picture above) is made for three, it has three different spaces each fitted with a desk. There is a PDF file at the end of this post that contains all the details and prices.
Now he is also selling three Keilhauer ‘Tom’ chairs for KD70 each. I asked him if he would sell me one alone and he said no but maybe if two other readers are interested in the two other chairs we can offer to buy all three of them from him. So if you’re interested in the chair email me.
Here is the PDF that contains all the details on the Herman Miller system and chairs including their prices. [PDF]
Update: He also has the chair below called the Junior which he has decided to sell, he’s asking KD90 for it (actual price was KD320). If you want it email me saying you want the Junior.
Update2: The three regular Tom chairs are all gone, only the Tom Junior chair is left.
This is a complete shocker. Turns out there is a Mexican catering place in Kuwait thats run by two Mexican women! All this time we’ve been complaining about the lack of good Mexican food in Kuwait and it turns out we had a place that specialized in home cooked traditional Mexican food. They’re called Sahuaro and they have a pretty decent website with their menu, prices and pictures of their dishes. I haven’t tried them but hopefully after Marzouq reads this post he will have them cater for us this coming Thursday (pretty please Marzouq). Here is a link to their website [Link]
Thanks K!
There are some parts of my car I want to black out. Instead of painting them black I figured I would foil them black. Can someone recommend a place in Kuwait that does good clean foiling?

Eating out isn’t necessarily a problem, but can be a fuss to those around me. I start by scanning the restaurant’s menu for a lean source of protein, followed by a good source of carbs and a great source of fat. Usually, I pick a great option, a good option and a decent option; the waiter that’s about to approach me is bound to shut me down with words like fried, breaded and sauteed, so might as well make due with other sources since I’m already at my 3 hour mark and my muscles are aching for some food.
Me: “I’ll have the Cajun Chicken Platter with no Monterey jack cheese, crisps, refried black beans and mashed potatoes.”
Waiter: “You mean you want the Cajun Chicken Platter with absolutely nothing on it?”
Me: “Yes, but I’m not done yet. Do you serve sweet potato?”
Waiter: “No sir, we only serve mashed potatoes.”
Me: “Do you mash it in with butter?”
Waiter: “I’m not sure sir.”
Me: “Would you ask someone that knows please.”
Accompanying Friend: “Dude, are you serious? No he’s not doing that.”
Me: “Ok, may I have a baked potato please.”
Waiter: “I’m sorry sir, we serve only mashed potatoes.”
Me: “Are they mashed before or after they arrived in the kitchen?”
Waiter: “After sir.”
Me: “Ok, so take one unmashed medium sized potato and bake or boil it.”
Waiter: “I’m sorry sir, we cannot do that.”
Annoying Fat Friend: “FHAID! Cut that crap out! I want to order!”
Me: “Ok Ok. I’ll have the Cajun Chicken Platter with nothing on it, and only broccoli on the side. Is the broccoli sauteed or steamed?”
Friend: “F*ck you.”
I am literally a waiter’s worst nightmare and I don’t care. I even question a restaurant’s supposedly healthier options, and after a thorough investigation (i.e. annoying the hell out of the restaurant’s staff) it doesn’t seem healthy at all. I persuade any health conscious individual to do the same.
The Awesome Subject at Hand
I was contacted by a 248am subscriber in order to help him out with a diet plan. His routine was simple and average, and could easily relate to anyone who decides to pursue the healthy lifestyle, so I used him as an example in order to explain the ins and outs of nutrition calculation and timing. Hopefully, I’ll be able to simplify things as much as possible.
Spotted at Fantasy World for KD12.950. Perfect for those late night munchies.
Just a reminder, the Kuwait International Rally starts today at 3PM in the parking lot near the Kuwait Towers (picture above). For more details check out my previous post [Here]
This is a cool new Pedigree commercial which was shot at 1000 FPS using the Phantom camera, the same camera we used for the Wataniya Airways commercial. The dogs look very cool in slo-mo. [YouTube]
I spotted this at the Free Trade Zone today and thought the name was very 90’s internet cafe like. The place was a shisha joint strangely…
I read about this incident a few days ago. Seems the married British ambassador at the local embassy got one of his employees pregnant and that employee was also married. Lots of soap opera drama but it seems now its over since they’ve moved the British ambassador out of Kuwait and the employee moved back to England. Here is a link to the news article [Link]
How is the title related? You know, Tiger Woods.. cheated on his wife, the British ambassador cheated on his wife… get it? Ok maybe the title is a bit lame…
Thanks Reem!
A friend of mine spotted this sign outside a shisha place. For those who don’t read Arabic it says the third sex is not allowed to enter.
Thanks Manaf!
Blushberry posted around a week ago that Sultan Center had brought a small stock of frozen White Castle Cheeseburgers and that they quickly went out of stock. For some reason I had a feeling if I passed by Sultan Center today I would find them (I was just really hungry). Sadly I didn’t find any White Castle burgers, just the ones above. Sucks.
I noticed they started getting Chicago Gourmet Steaks. The brand sounds familiar but I don’t remember from where. Two t-bone steaks for a combined weight of 800grams is for around KD10.

It’s either this or pay a shit load of money and use DHL. I’m being patient and going with Aramex instead. It’s frustrating having something stuck in customs for 10 days but it beats paying an arm and a leg with DHL.
The headline is taken from an Arab Times article. I had previously read that one person had died because of the celebrations but it seems the actual number is eleven. That’s really terrible… [Link]
Thanks Loza
