Prada is finally here! I was at 360 Mall for breakfast and spotted the first boutique in Kuwait for the Italian luxury fashion label, Prada, opening soon. The boutique is located on the ground floor opposite to Gucci boutique by the main entrance. I tried to ask when exactly they will open but I couldn’t get a specific answer, but I’m guessing October or November. Though I was told that Prada botuique will open before their little daughter brand miu miu which is also opening in 360 Mall nearby Prada.

The store looks it’s going to be big, now little about Prada; it’s a luxury brand specialized in goods for men and women (ready-to-wear, leather accessories, shoes, luggage and hats), founded in 1913. Benvenuto Prada!

I noticed this little pizza place, Pizzera Romana, today at Salem Mubarak street in Salmiyah, it was already dinner time so I’d thought I’d try it. As I opened the door, the supervisor greeted me and told me that I’m their first customer since they just opened today, what a coincidence. 

The place was little and cozily decorated, I could sense Rome in every corner. The owner explained that Pizzera Romana is an Italian franchise and this is the first branch to open in the middle east, la vera pizza italiana means the real Italian pizza.

The chef said that they serve over 20 kind of pizzas, customers can also customize their own pizzas and toppings.

They had oven that they brought from Italy to use it for the pizzas. I asked about their signature pizzas, they served me with mushroom pizza, pepperoni, and Re Di Roma (Mozzarella, Salmon, Tomatoes, and Caviar). I liked the mushroom and peperroni but I didn’t favor the Re Di Roma since I’m not into Salmon.

Their pizzas were thin and come in one standard size, they also served me with an appetizer called Suppli (Rice balls with meat and cheese); tasty with the sweet chili sauce.

Food aside, the staff were responsive and service was quick. I think those who are into pizza will like it, we have numerous American pizza places in Kuwait but this is kinda different.

My total check was 7.750 KD which is reasonable. Currently, they’re softly opened from 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm.

Address: Salem Mubarak Street – Nearby Olympia Mall.

Phone: 25718100 / 25718200

While being at Salhia complex I saw there was an on-going expo called “Salhia Speaks Italian”.

The organizers said this expo presents the Italian lifestyle and showcases unique Italian experience via art, fashion, leather goods, design, gastronomy, and luxury.

There was a TV show and many Italian brands. Also Al Kharafi Activity Center will conduct charity auction at J.W Marriott on the 19th to support disabled kids, nice of them.

The expo will continue till the 19th.

A week ago I made a quick survey to find out about the most favorable destination for people in Kuwait for summer vacation 2011. Now I bring you the results:

The most desired destination was Europe (27%), also I was surprised to know that 27% will not travel. 15% will go to America, and the three destinations (GCC countries, Asia, Arabian countries) were equally same (9%), and finally 4% will travel to other places, maybe Australia or Islands.

The total votes were 162. I think with this data you can also plan your vacation
