Fortunately, I read on KUNA website that Kuwait Public Authority will continue the ban on foam usage and those who are caught selling or using it will pay 50 KD as a fine.

I asked the Barista about the card and she explained that this card is free and customers can use it to pay instead of paying cash, money can be deposited to the card to be used anytime, card can also be given as a gift. I think Kuwait Starbucks is the first to have such cards.

Some are saying the 2011 models looks better, what do you think?

I always wondered about how/why Kuwaiti flag changed from red color to the preesnt colors (black, white, green, and red)? I came across this interesting interview with Mr. Mohammed Jassem Al Sadah telling the story that took place during Sheikh Abdullah Al Salem tenure.

This is the 4th Guinness world record for Kuwait in 6 months period, go Kuwait go.

Jusho was opened at 53 Degrees replacing Baked restaurant that was closed, I chit chatted with the owners who explained that Japanese term “Jusho” translates as”The Address”.

Design-wise; it was simple and reflects Japanese culture, menu was kinda brief but they said that it will be expanded later.

My order was: One tempura salad (tasty but I’d like more tempura), Jusho Maki (crabstick, tempura with avocado, liked it), Sozo Ryoko Maki (spicy), Burger Maki (egg plant and beef, average taste but I’m not into egg plant), and finally Chicken Fried Rice (its spicy, taste was great).

As for sweet, I tried their Cheesecake tempura, I liked the sauce and the crispy crust.

According to the owner their sauces are home-made which is good. My check was 25.1 KD, I wish to see lower prices for Japanese food in Kuwait.

Address: 52 Degrees – Tilal complex, Shuweikh

I think Municipality should not allow such technique.

I like the design but can someone tell me when it will complete and how they will connect the current terminal with the new terminal?

See my previous post about Kuwait new airport here

Its a 5-star hotel and single room costs 1,110 Dhs (about 80 KD) per night. I’m sure many of you have seen it already because it has a catchy exterior design with nice blue LED lighting.

I noticed how the interior design was made to resemble speed and movement with curvy corridors and lines.

The single room was bigger than the other hotels with many smart features like controlling the lights with a remote control, the bed was big and comfortable, free fast WiFi service, nice seating area, and a Nespresso coffee machine.

Looking outside my window I could see the racing cars and the marina view.

Stuff like bathrobe, hair blower, safe, towels were also provided. The Hotel has 4 restaurants (International, Sea Food, Chienese, Arabian), gym, open-air bar, swimming pool, spa, outside seating area, and nice lobby.

Some of the downsides I observed were; room blacony won’t open, telephone is located away from the bed, and pricing can get even higher on weekends or during events, and ordering dinner can be pricey.

I enjoyed my stay at Yas Hotel and I recommend you to try it when ever you visit Yas Island.

My observation about LaSENZA store is that its too open for everyone walking across the mall to see who’s buying what, I believe some customers may feel uncomfortable, a little more privacy is good isn’t it?
