What Happened to Hard Rock Cafe?

23 May

Less than 10 years ago, the Hard Rock Cafe was first opened in Kuwait and it was such a big deal because of its attractive design and seating. I was one of those people who enjoyed going there because simply they had good food, different atmosphere than the usual restaurants and everyone was pretty nice! After 2 years or so, the food started getting worse somehow, a lot of their dishes weren’t available anymore, and the crowd got different! it’s not about having music and food lovers anymore, a lot of families started to come and LOTS of kids running around and trying to ride those Harley Davidson’s they had on display. That for me was a sign and a reason not to visit again.

Now that its been a very long time, I decided to visit again and give it another try! I was surprised that there wasnt really anything iffy about the place! The menu had so many varieties, the staff is extra polite and helpful, and the food was good enough! However, it’s never crowded anymore, it was lunch time and probably only 10 tables were taken, the rest are plain empty.

So it made me ask and wonder, how come it’s not doing well anymore like when it first opened? if people had the same reasons as mine for them not to visit again, then there’s a marketing problem they should do something about! am sure if I have seen promotions and ads about the Hard Rock Cafe, I would have probably visited way before than waiting all this time.

So you tell me now, have you been there before? what do you like and hate about it?

Review: Zahr El-Laymoun

15 May

We received an invitation awhile back from Zahr El Laymoun but never got the chance to visit until yesterday, and we were so glad that we did! Zahr El Laymoun is a Lebanese restaurant/cafe that serves Lebanese dishes in a homemade like. Their food is either grilled or baked and nothing is fried, which takes you back to the old days of how they used to make these dishes originally. What did I think of this concept? LOVED IT!

The moment you walk into the place you get the sense of traditions, culture and warmth. The decoration and the colors are is very cute and relaxing, you seriously feel like you are home while eating deliciously flavored food. Here’s a look:

Event: Nancy Introducing Good Health Magazine

14 May

Last week we were invited to the launch of the Arabic version of Good Health magazine (originally Australian) at Shaikha Salwa Al Sabah ballroom at Marina Crescent. The event started at 6 and to my surprise there weren’t much people. They brought Nancy Ajram for the launch as she is the cover girl of their first issue. I was excited to meet Nancy as its my first time, however I was SO surprised of how things were going! There weren’t any security, the event wasnt organized enough, and everything was happening randomly.

What did I think of Nancy?

Well, she seemed to be a very nice person and SHY! I didn’t think she would be like that as she’s a celebrity and probably too used to this, but she was sitting quietly, giving shy smiles and maybe a bit scared lol. But besides that, she was sweet to everyone and not minding taking pictures and signing the magazines.

There was also different sections in the room where they had a woman reading the ora of whoever is interested. I took my chances on that and she was right about a lot of things! the most important thing that she told me is that my kidneys are calling for water and that i should drink a lot of it (I DONT DRINK WATER AT ALL) so I think I should listen to my kidneys more often. Also there was a bar where they were serving weird drinks of fruits and vegetables.

Overall, It was a nice event, tho it would have been a definite success if there was a press conference and if it was more organized.

One of those Days: Change

9 May

I’m a person who likes routine and change from time to time, if I get a busy schedule for more than a week (unless am traveling) I get tired and want to go back to my old routine. But that’s not the routine am talking about, I’m talking about the routine of not sleeping well, work, and stress. These all are not good routine in any way, and it’s a sign that I need immediate change or probably need to travel somewhere far.

Lately it has been very boring at work, some major changes were going to happen, everyone was trying to ask around if they have any news or something to gossip about, but everything was hush-hush which made us more nervous and lost about what to expect. Untill everything exploded last week! it was a definite relief, it was good enough, at least for now. This is way I have been away, I have so much catching up to do, hopefully soon ill go back on my feet and start blogging properly like before.

Review: The Meat Co.

26 Apr

While Cheeky was visiting Kuwait a couple of weeks ago, we decided to have The Meat Co. for lunch with a close friend. It was my first time to try out this place, but remembering my past wonderful experience at Tribes in Dubai, I was kinda excited…and hungry!

My first impression was that the place looked big enough, very well decorated and neat! I opened the menu and started drooling over all the types of meat they had, I honestly was too hungry to decide, so I had to choose something that I already know and can’t go wrong with, which was the mini burgers. Sadly, mine were tasteless and lacking sauce!

On the other hand, Cheeky went for the salad only! Like seriously, who would go to a restaurant that is specialized in MEAT and have only salad? Yep…Cheeky would :P

Our friend was a bit braver than Cheeky and ordered the cheese burger. She said she would give it a 7/10, I think that’s good enough for a cheese burger

As for the appetizer, we shared the prawns, not sure what was the order name, but it was delicious, especially that it was a little bit spicy.
