FOOD REVIEW: Munch

Even though the place might be a little old, but it was my first time trying it out. The only thing "Munch" offered to my liking was the location at Dar Al-Awadhi complex, it was isolated, empty, just how i like a place to be. It was a slow night like usual, and i decided its been a hectic two weeks with exams and work so i asked my brother lets go out for a night out and try some new food.
So by the posts headline, we headed to "Munch" and here was what we ordered:
Me: Spiced Pumpkin, Italian Sirloin sandwich.
My Brother: Crab Avocado Salad, Buffalo Cheese sandwich with sun dried tomatoes.
of course we shared the sandwiches and starters to get a taste of diversity.
Verdict:
Spiced Pumpkin: we do it better at home.
Crab Avocado Salad: Dry & Tasteless.
Italian Sirloin: Quite good actually, i liked the sirloin itself but not the combo with the sauce.
Buffalo Cheese: pure bread and wheat, no sign of the cheese or taste of flavor.

RATING: 2/5 - the 1 just for its location, and the other 1 for the piece of sirloin.

A New Year to remember. Happy 2010

Well this turned out to be a New Year i definitely wont forget. To start things off, i have to admit i was not looking forward to 2010, in a way i was kind of depressed, mainly because i had a weekend shift and all that crap. Luckily my family had booked a chalet at the Hilton Mangaf Resort for the new year and our neighbors were our long time friends whom we have known for more than 20 years, and my parents for 30, so it was planned out to be relaxing.
It turned out to be a great new year weekend at the Hilton and we had a good laugh, and i really enjoyed myself (albeit the arrival of "Kuwait's Worst" group on new years eve). At the end of Saturday, knowing that tomorrow morning was check out time, i was in high spirits and ready for 2010. But 2010 had a big reality shocker for me.
Today i had a football game at one of the Bnied Al Gar football pitches ( as always on Sundays), as i left the pitch after the game i found that my car had a broken window, and i think i had my first feeling of "shit why now" of 2010.
My car had been robbed, my new 3GS i-phone and my wallet with the cash inside, and i cursed and shouted for the first time in 2010.

But i learned a valuable lesson, never take things for granted like saying we're in Kuwait nothings wrong with leaving the car working while you head inside or something that makes you leave the car alone running. And always keep an eye out for your personal belongings.

You always here the stories of theft or such out of the ordinary cases, and you always think that it might happen to someone, but not you. What you do not realize is that you're a "someone" to someone else, so stay safe fellow camels and happy 2010.

Movie REVIEW : Downfall (German Movie)

I have to say that it has been a while since i've seen a good movie, especially a WW2 movie (or any war movie at that). But this one just blows your mind away.
The movie is about the last couple of days before Adolf Hitlers suicide and the end of his reign as Germany's leader. The movie is well directed with a brilliant unknown cast (well unknown to us, but i think their pretty famous in Germany). The actor who took on Hitlers role was FANTASTIC!
The story is well told, through the eyes of Hitlers secretary at the time and it shows you how Hitler was both a kind and generous person, and yet ruthless and merciless. Besides the obvious, i can describe him into two words AMBITIOUS & GENIUS; the man has to be one of the most underrated minds in this world. YOU MUST WATCH THIS MOVIE.
I'll leave you with one of his sayings during the movie which really left its mark in me:
Hitler to his Generals & Commanding Officers - "You all are dishonorable men, traitors who lack discipline. Waving around your Military Academy certificates. And yet with all your education at this fancy academy, you do nothing. I on the other hand, with no privilege of attending such a prestigious academy managed to conquer all of Europe and North Africa"

RATING : 5/5

Food Review : P.F. Changs

Just tried the new "it" restaurant in Kuwait, P.F. Cheng located at the Avenues Mall besides Lenotre'.


I have to say i love chinese food and the thing with the chinese places in Kuwait is the common dishes in all their menus and the similarity in taste. "Peacock" located at the Radisson SAS hotel was my favorite (and after my trial with P.F. Changs, still is).
I swear Kuwaitis will do anything and buy anything as long as it is new, and EVERYONE goes to it, i went there once, tried it, will NOT do it again.
Although i must admit that it did offer a diverse menu with a new selection of dishes, (although the favorites were still there, Example: Cajun Chicken, Sweet & sour Chicken, Spicy & Sweet Prawns, Black pepper beef and so on)
I only like 3 dishes:
1) Chicken Lettuce Wrap (very unique)
2) Black Bean sauce Chicken (very tasty)
3) Mongolian Beef (i love the word mongolian... well the beef was good to)
But the hype about it being the best and all, i don't know seems overrated to me (maybe what's No.1 in the states doesn't necessarily mean Numero Uno in Kuwait)

Anyway try it yourselves and let me know what you think.

RATING:2/5
