Sparkle Palace Cocktail Table by John Foster

Minneapolis-based designer John Foster created a magnificent cocktail table, which will make your guests take out their cameras once they enter you living room. His one-of-a-kind “Sparkle Palace Cocktail Table” table is a magnificent fusion of glass and light reflection. A round glass tabletop is placed on a reversed pyramid of elegantly cut glass crystals, which divide the natural light into hundreds of rainbow reflections the walls.

“I want my objects to influence our experience. I embrace chance, and allow the experiential aspect of my work to inform the composition of prints, paintings, sculptures, utilitarian objects, and jewelry,” says John. With this table, John actually turns the sunlight into a part of your interior decor

Review: UBON Contemporary Thai Bistro

I was invited a couple of days ago to review “UBON” a new Thai bistro located in Salhiya.I was very apprehensive to if I would like it or not. I never tried Thai cusine,mostly Japanese and Chinese. So I had no idea what was in store for me :P .. Anyway we arrived to UBON at 8PM.It was quite crowded Mashalah with a very simple/modern design with paper elephants hanging from the lighting :)

With so many options to choose from we had the waiter recommend their best sellers! :) Here’s what we got …

My Lemon juice :P

Green Papaya Salad – green papaya mixed with carrots and spring beans with a VERY spicy Thai sauce :) !Even though it was very spicy, every bit you took was full with different flavors:) and the texture was perfect! (8/10)

Ubon Jumbo Prawns- Stir fried jumbo prawns topped with air dried garlic :) Each prawn was moist and full of falvour.The sauce was a bit sweet but definitely made it taste better ;) (7/10)

Satay Sticks – Chicken and beef served with Ubon’s peanut sauce :) This was one of my favorite dishes! The chicken/beef was tender with a hint of salt and the sauce was rich and sweet :) I highly recommend this dish! (10/10)

Lemon garlic shrimps – stir fried shrimps with chopped mushrooms and a very sour/sweet lemon garlic sauce :) it’s basically like shrimp popcorn but was soaked with the sauce it had. It’s defiantly one of my favorite comfort foods :) I loved the Thai twist it had. (9/10)

Chickem Greem Curry -It’s basically a stew of green chili,herbs,spices and sweet basil with coconut cream.It came with a side of rice :) I’m not a big fan of rice but I wanted to give it a try.The curry had so many flavors combined that it was hard to distinguish one from the other :) Even though it wasn’t a favorite of mine, my friend Hussain thought it tasted AMAZING ( he’s a rice lover! ) (7/10)

And finally for dessert :) my PASSIOn,my LOVE :P PUMPKIN CAKE! I wish they had more dessert options. Other dishes seemed new and I didn’t want to risk it :) you’re always safe with a pumpkin cake ;)

I would like to thank UBON for their invite and their lovely staff for their hospitality ;)

Review: @thechocolatecafe @foodcircle in Mishref

After a huge dinner with a friend of mine my sweet tooth was craving brownies! My friend thought  it was a bad idea since we were blotted with sushi :P Regardless to what he thought I need my brownie with vanilla ice cream on the side :P  After contemplating for 30 minutes we deiced to go with something new! I have been hearing about this new café called “The Chocolate Café” located in Mishref… So we headed over there :)

The cafe offers a wide variety of cakes,macroons,cupcakes,full sized cakes,brownies,hot drinks and SO MUCH more :)

So here we GO! We started off with their Pavlova Custard and Berries. The dessert is hard from the outside like a meringue and stuffed with rich ice cream vanilla! The texture was perfect and the mix of berries gave it the kick it needed ;) I personally LOVED IT! 9/10

This dessert wasn’t even on our minds until owner Yousef recommended it to us as one of their best sellers! The very delicious brownie sizzler with ice cream and butterscotch sauce is pure HEAVEN! I haven’t tasted a brownie that was so rich in flavor and super moist. The butterscotch sauce is not a typical sauce used on brownies. We usually go for anything cholactey :P but I gave it a go and I was very pleased with the result … A definite 10/10

Finally, we went for the chocolate pudding with milk chocolate sauce on the side. The tender pudding was super crunchy from the outside and extremely hot with melted chocolate from the inside! Do I need to say more? I think the picture speaks for itself :) … a 10/10 without a doubt :) !!!!

Finally, I would like to thank the owners Yousef and Maha for their warm hospitality and the Unbelievably energetic staff for their tasty recommendations :P

First Visit To Mrs.Fields @Safat Mall

If you know me well enough you know I’m a cookie addict! So when I found out that Mrs. Fields has finally opened in Kuwait I was over ecstatic! Yippee :P Last time I tasted one of their cookies was in the late 90′s while visiting Florida :S So I have been craving for some while ! Eger to know if the taste was the same as the ones I ate in the US, I decided to give them a visit…

The place is very cozy with colors inspired by their logo. It’s located at Safat Mall in Hawally (the one with all the colorful lighting and water fall)

I started with their chocolate chip and chocolate fudge cookies. Let me tell you what a Déjà vu moment I had! The first bit brought back so many good memories. The cookies tasted exactly like the ones I had in the US, crunchy from the outside with a generous chocolaty and moist center :)

Mrs. Fields also provide mini cupcakes, specialized cookie cakes with colorful frosting and brownies! So what are you waiting for? Give them a visit their cookies are a MUST TRY people ;) !
