Last February I posted about Hello Kitty restaurant and cafe opening soon at Beda’a, I know many of you are patiently waiting and when I passed yesterday the labors were still working on the interior decorations and moving in the furniture, I so wanted to see how it looks on the inside. I just got some sneak peek pictures and it looks they will have totally pink theme with Hello Kitty everywhere, the wall paper looks great too, pink chairs, pink tables and even pink menu, so pink everywhere.
I heard it will probably open end of October or early November, can’t wait to check it out and see how the final look will be.
Thanks [PinkGirlQ8][Ahmad]

Last night I invited myself to a new Japanese restaurant named, Koji, that was just opened in Kuwait City. I had a little difficulty finding it but I figured the location when told me it’s in the same place of old Wasabi restaurant in Qibla. As I arrived at the entrance, I had this first impression that it’s not going to look good inside because the name was not clearly displayed but as I entered and saw the interior decorations and design I changed my mind instantly. 
It was almost empty and this helped me to shoot pictures, it was just opened yesterday. I met the manager and asked some questions, they said Koji is from the same people behind Wasabi, they decided to open their own Japanese concept restaurant. My other question was regarding name “Koji”; they said it’s a Japanese name which I think translates as “tradition”, or “origin”. 
Inside it was medium sized and neatly decorated, comfy seats and relaxing lighting and background Japanese music was cool. The staff was friendly and responsive, they handed me two menus; classic and iPad. The menu contained most of classic Japanese plates found in other restaurants (salads, maki, sushi, teppanyaki).
Starters
Kani Furai; Breaded crabsticks, tasted little spicy and when dipped in their sweet sauce taste is great.
Temaki: Cone shaped and stuffed with rice, tasted good (see picture below) 
Main course
Tasty Crab; Rolls with crabstick , avocado, cucumber and tanuki (tasty with soy sauce).
Chicken Tori; Similar to beef teppanyaki (good but wish it was less oily).
Shrimp Sushi: Rice with shrimp (Slightly dry).

If you are into french fries of all kinds and can tolerate the calories, I made you a list for the restaurants specialized in selling fries in Kuwait;
Fries UP: It was just opened at the Avenues Mall and there’s another branch in Discovery Mall, specialized in fries and they also serve buffalo wings.
Phone: 22913690
New York Fries: They opened their first branch in Kuwait at Marina Mall’s food court, they serve french fries with different sauces and hot dogs, and they are one of the best so far.
Phone: 24921501
Fries City: They are located in Souq Al Salmiya in the food court, I tried them before and liked their fries.

Today I was at Hamra Luxury Center and I saw staff mumbling nearby Melenzane restaurant so I went ahead and asked them if they are opening Melenzane and they said “Yes we will be soft opening today”, guess that makes me kinda lucky. I tried Melenzane back in 2011 at their first branch in Beda’a and if there’s one thing that I like about it other than the Italian food then it’s surely their strange interior designs and decorations, see the pictures that I took and you will get my point, even the name itself is written upside down.
Melenzane is a Kuwaiti-based concept restaurant that was created by two Kuwaitis and is specialized in Italian cuisine with a menu inspired by a true Sicilian Chef “Nino Trapini,” yet cooked by trained Melenzane Chefs. They said they now have new dishes added to their menu, I’m looking forward to try it sometime soon so stay alert.

I took my family to Mall of Emirates and it was dinner time already so we went to the food court and saw IHOP which is known as The International House of Pancakes in the U.S. was just opened. They are famous for their breakfast but they told us that they serve dinner and lunch too, so I invited the family to try it out and see if it’s up to the caliber.
Good news though is that I had a little chit chat with their manager who happened to be at the restaurant and had chance to ask him if they are opening in Kuwait; he said M.H. AlShaya Co. has signed a franchise with IHOP and they are planning to open in Kuwait within next couple years, finally a decent place for breakfast.
We picked their Sirloin steak dinner which is grilled, tender sirloin tips with onions and mushrooms and comes with mashed potatoes (or corn) and broccoli as side orders. I must say the steak tips tasted great and their mashed potatoes was one of the best I tasted, even broccoli was well boiled. 
As for dessert; we tried their Cinn-A-Stack (fluffy buttermilk pancakes layered with cinnamon roll filling) and it tasted sinfully delicious especially when coupled with coffee. My check alone came Dhs137 (KD10.5), I’m not yet sure where they will be opening in Kuwait but it’s worth the wait.
