StarbucksMarinaMallMarina Mall Starbucks was under construction for renovation.  Last night, we were invited to visit Starbucks Marina Mall branch for grand opening. The branch has renovated completely with a wide bigger area. It changed to a classic and modern style with a reception and coffee bar in the centre and open area. It looks like the same new Starbucks branches as Grand Avenues.

Furthermore, the decoration changed also to Arabian Kuwaiti style theme which you can see in the images below.

StarbucksJazzNightAlthough the grand opening night began with a musical jazz night by group of couples. I just would like to raise my hand up and say I loved the atmosphere and decoration of this branch and rate it as 09/10.

TartineSandwichBoutiqueBrand new restaurant and food opened recently. Tartine Sandwich Boutique one of the new small businesses opened their official store after serving their food from home and participating at public events. Today I’ve received for lunch Waffles Ma’s Chicken Salad Sandwich, Vegan Cobb Salad, Pomegranate Blueberry Smoothie and Pancake Balls.

I sat for some seconds thinking, have I ate before waffles sandwiches. It was extremely new for me and however it is really delicious, but the waffles is bit thick and heavy. As for the Vegan Cobb Salad it is the first time for me to eat. The salad is made of vegetables, avocado, tofu, bacon with red vinegar dressing served with a toll jar.

From my point view, it is really excellent food concept restaurant built locally with the combination of waffles with main dishes. I rate Tartine Sandwich Boutique food 07/10.

DietCenterKuwaitOne week finished since I started my First Day Of Diet With Diet Center. Last Saturday was my first follow-up visit. I visited DietCenter and rechecked my weight, height and other assessments. The result was lost 1KG only within a week without walking or exercising. I’m not walking and  exercising because always running out of time with work and daily life habit.

TurishCoffeeIt was my first visit to Fauchon Cafe at Prestige The Avenues. Last Wednesday, I passed to The Avenues for some shopping. At the end of my shopping period, the time was 4.00 afternoon and I thought to stay at one of the Cafe’s in Prestige.

FauchonCafeTheAvenuesFauchon Cafe was my first choice on my mind. So I went to it and welcomed by the waiters. By looking at their menu I really felt to choose everything to eat. Turkish Coffee with some mini desserts makes me happy to have an hour break and read what’s on Twitter & Instagram.

I cannot say more than it’s fabulous cafe with the lovely quite atmosphere, chilling down with a coffee and getting away from the noisy areas. I just would like to say that I really LOVE THE CAFE!.

2013-05-08 18.27.34THE bagel BAR is wholly owned by Irish company. They opened there first branch in Dublin in year 2001. Their response is to grow demand by working professionals for a healthier option to the standard sandwich, whilst incorporating a more international taste to the range of fillings and sauces used in creating our unique signature bagel sandwiches.

2013-05-08 18.03.04Their first franchise store in Kuwait started at Grand Avenues, as the official grand opening held last week. We were invited to the Grand Opening for the restaurant. THE bagel BAR serves Bagels, Wraps, Panini’s, Sandwiches, Salads, Smoothies and Coffee.

I’ve tasted some of the bagels with fillet chicken, and I really liked it though the sauce added in was really amazing. But I had another small taste to some of their bagels, but the one with hot peppers we’re not that nice.

Overall, their location, food, atmosphere, services and hospitality are very good. I will conclude my rating as 07/10.

IMG_6531Nestle Toll House Cafe invited us for a blogger day celebrating the Grand Opening of their branch at The Avenues (Soku Phase). We reached their and welcomed by Nestle Cafe Management.

Nestle Cafe Operation Manager explained to us a brief information about Nestle Toll House Cafe. Nestle Cafe is founded by Ziad Dalal and his partner Doyle Liesenfelt, when the two partners joint venture together to sell Nestle Toll House home made cookies by creating up a cafe.

IMG_6574At that night, each blogger went to the baking zone and started baking the cookies, following by importing the cookies to the oven. Although before entering the cookies to the oven, the keyword which each staff have to shout out is “Be careful it’s Hot”. Then we did configure out the oven machine to and set up the timings.

After that, we went to the decoration area to choose the cream colours to decorate the cookies. So I sat thinking what to add on my cookies. Therefore, I started drawing Q8Path logo and writing up Q8Path title at the top. At the end of decorating my cookies, I loved it and it came really amazing.

Looking at the rest of the bloggers cookies, Q8Path cookies is the most well decorated and amazing. So I took also a photo both Q8path and Couch Avenue’s.

Nestle Toll House Cafe is now open officially at The Avenues (Soku Phase). Breakfast, Lunch, Desserts and Dinner is available, and don’t forget to take home Nestle Cookies.

RobertoCavalliSince we’ve posted recently about Roberto Cavalli In Kuwait Soon. Today morning, we were invited to the grand opening of Cavalli Caffe at The Avenues – Grand Avenues. Roberto Cavalli honor to open the first branch of Cavalli Caffe.

Around 10.30am, Cavalli arrived to the Grand Avenues and he were welcomed through by the cafe owners and event organizers. The first thing that Cavalli done when he entered the Grand Avenues is capturing some photos from his own camera, which I really impressed. Although he stopped  many of the organizers and guests to take some photos.

RobertoCavalliKuwaitEvery inviter (blogger) got 2 minutes to take a photo and have a short talk with Cavalli. We were called one by one to enter the cafe and talk with Cavalli, which I really liked as an event management to be managed professionally and successfully.

Q8Path name was called the third and I went inside the Cafe and had a short talk with Cavalli. First of all, I welcomed our blog by giving him our business card and introducing ourselves. He welcomed me back, and asked me “How many visitors visits your blog in a day?”. My respond was “1000+ visitor a day”. Then I asked him “Is this the first time in Kuwait?”, and he replied back “Yes”. At end, Q8Path congratulate him for the first visit to Kuwait and opening Cavalli Cafe.

RobertoCavalliSignatureAfter having a short speech with Roberto Cavalli he signed on the Q8Path’s Business Card and drawn a lovely heart at the end. What I loved is his personality, lifestyle and way of negotiation. He’s really handsome man, with they of communicating with the guests. What I say from his impression is he did loved the way of welcoming him and getting interacting.

CavalliCaffeKuwaitCavalli Caffe is now open in The Avenues. We’ve tasted their food shots which was really great, especially I loved the desserts so much. I haven’t looked in detail at their menu, but just tasted the mini shots given. The decorations, presentation and hospitality are really excellent. Finally, I will rate the overall Cavalli Cafe 09/10.

Special thanks for Senyar for the invitation and providing us the opportunity to meet with Roberto Cavalli.
