Five Guys Burger

-
It was a lazy saturday evening and we were wondering where to go out for dinner. And we finally ended up at Five Guys which is located in Al-Tijaria tower (opposite to Al-Shaheed park). Man, the crowd there is insane. I have not seen such a busy burger joint; other than the ones located in the malls. One of my friend, whose office is in the same building, was telling me that the queue will be well outside the burger joint on most days.


An attractive red and white decor suits the fast food joint. The huge kitchen is visible to the customer and is just behind the cashier ounter. They even have a board telling you where the potatoes used came from for the day. They use peanut oil for cooking and frying;also everything is served fresh (claims of the company).

Well, the choice of burgers is limited - just hamburger and cheese burger. Also hot dogs and sandwiches are available. And the customer can choose what all goes into your burger. 

Once you finish your order and pay the bill, we wait for the meal. Meanwhile you can fill up the drink and get some ketchup and find a table. One of the employees will call out your number loudly :) and the meal is given in a brown paper bag (this is recycled), including the french fries. There is no tray to carry the meal to your table.


Spicy french fries

The Burgers


The burgers come wrapped in aluminium foil and are numbered. So just refer to the receipt on the brown paper bag to identify your burger. This is a great idea; you don't have to open and see which burger is what. And it is not labelled by pen/marker; the sticker is loud and clear :) :)

The small hamburger

The regular cheese burger



The burgers were warm, greasy and tasty - like how a burger is expected to be.

I was not impressed by the spicy fries though. It did have the garlic/paprika taste but it did not please my taste buds. Next time it would be regular fries.
Location: Al Tijaria Tower, Soor St, Kuwait City, Kuwait

Quiznos...

Ever since the American franchise, Quiznos, opened up in my work place, I wanted to try it out. They have subs, soups and salads. Quiznos doesn't have many branches in Kuwait. But one can order online through talabat . They do have a Facebook (Quiznos Kuwait), twitter  (quiznos_kw) and Instagram (quiznos_kw) accounts and a  website . Their hotline number is    188001. Their small subs are like 5 or 6 inches long and is more than enough to satiate you.  You can choose brown or white or jalapeno or rosemary Parmesan bread. I am in love with the rosemary Parmesan bread ever since I tried it.  That is how it is packaged. I bought the egg and cheddar breakfast sub on a rosemary-parmesan bread.I do not like jalapenos and pickles in my sub, so I always avoid it. And thank god they do not give you much options like Subway :). My friend ordered the steak, egg and cheddar sub. The bread is quite flavorful and light. You do not feel heavy after eating t

Tawas - an all natural deodorant

Ever since I read about deodorants and their side effects, I have been on the search for an all-natural deodorant. Coconut oil can be used since it has antibacterial properties. Just apply a small amount after bath and when you wake up you will not have smelly underarms. But once you start sweating, you end up smelling but not as bad. But then it fails totally when you do some heavy duty work like exercise. Another option is mixing equal amounts of baking soda, corn flour and coconut oil. This concoction does work but it takes time for the body to get adjusted for it to work for you. And then too, it isn't effective during exercise. And again my search was on. It was during a casual talk with a friend that she mentioned about Tawas and how she was using it as a deodorant. I couldn't wait to try it out and bought it the same day :) This is how the packaging is.  A small see through container filled up to the brim. There are scented and non-scented var

The semolina bread saga

I love to bake. It is therapeutic for me :) There is something about the measuring,sifting,kneading,pouring and seeing the fruits of my labour rising to glory in the oven. I have seen many bread recipes while roaming the cyber space but was a little scared to venture into trying a recipe; Until a friend of mine, who is an avid baker (oh my you just have to see her posts) posted photos of her home made bread on the social media. A little chat with her and she encouraged me and I went ahead and tried my hands at baking bread at home.  Oh my, bread making is a sticky process but at the end of it all, you feel proud of your creation. You can go wrong too if you are not careful. The bread can become dense if you knead it too much or add too much water. To sum it up, you need to try it out a few times before you can master it. Well, a semolina bread is what I would call a beginner bread baker recipe. You can never really go that wrong with this recipe. And a positive end resu
