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.

KuwaitBusesI think everyone see’s these buses in summer changes by opening the bus motor cover and keep driving. The reason of opening the motor cover is for cooling up the motors because in summer it start’s to heat-up.

Kuwait is a rich country and it’s really sadly enough for me to see these buses driving crazy with the motor covers open. This cause really bad environment and could cause harm to us. Of course there is an alternative solution to it, but the company management don’t care about it. I guarantee myself I will keep seeing these buses like this everyday in summer and everyone keep’s watching.

JumeriahMessilahTeaLoungeRound 5pm I passed to Jumeriah Messilah Beach Hotel & Spa and through entering to the enter the parking was totally full. The security redirected me to park outside and take a shuttle to enter the hotel. I was totally inspired with the hotel decorations. So I began walking around the lobby, then passed to the basement to see the beach view and restaurants.

Then I passed to the lobby receiptation to ask about the reservations and to see some of their rooms. Their room is totally amazing amazing, fully placed with royal decorations and facilities. I was not allowed to take some photos of their rooms.

After that, I stayed walking around the beach and the hotel. I chose to stay at The Tea Lounge Restaurant. My order was Cappuccino and bottle of water. The atmosphere, decoration and hospitality totally amazing and I don’t have any comments to say because it’s impressed me.

At the end, the moon stayed to rise up and I went for a short stay to the beach. From what I knew the hotel Grand-Opening is on next October 2013. Restaurants, Cafe, Room Reservations are totally open now. I rate the hotel as 5 stars royal hotel 10/10.

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.

NBKWOLI’m one of the daily user to The National Bank of Kuwait (NBK) online and mobile banking. Since NBK launched their online Internet services as a customer I haven’t founded any innovation or reconstruction of the online interface.

Some recommendations which I need to share to NBK for improving their online and mobile banking:

Online Banking (WOL):

  • Interface Design is Too Old
  • Need More Graphics
  • Old programming
  • Not Supporting Some Browsers
  • Have to be supported to Mobile Browsers
  • Need Quicker Services

Mobile Banking App:

  • iPhone app is not updated with iPhone 5 (iOS 6 version)
  • Graphics used is too old
  • Need more graphics work
  • More functionality & features
  • Complicated to use with many tabs
  • Crashes down a lot

These are the points which I have to share to NBK as a customer point of view. I hope their could be a plan of re-innovating the online banking system. What I really like from this bank is their services and that why I’m still their customers since I was 7 years old carrying Zaina’s card.

DietCenterBreakfastSince I’ve joint the Diet Center and my First Day Of Diet With Diet Center started last Saturday. I’m having a healthy breakfast daily. I started to feel bit healthier in the morning and really feel I’m getting more energy when eating some fruits in the morning. Well as usual before, my day starts with coffee/tea, with some bread & cheese.

One week almost done with Diet Center and I’m waiting for my next dietitian appointment to check my weight (Crossing fingers).
