The New Ninos

Hi, My family and I went go for lunch last weekend and we choose the New Ninos at Arabella, which is a new venue for hip restaurants and cafes. It is located in Al-Bidaa seafront. The weather was so amazing and we sat outside.

 
Nino is the ony restaurant alongside the beach, which is the best location of all restaurants that are there, in my opinion.

 
They have plenty of heater all around, so don't worry about feeling cold.
 


 
Because it was the weekend, the place was quite full, so come early to get a good table.
 
 
What is also nice is that it overlook the Boom, which my grandma enjoyed and began telling stories about our ancestors.

 
For starters, I ordered the Confit chicken and avocado salad. This salad is new on the menu and I like to try new things. I loved it and the dressing was nice and the pomegranate added some sweetness to it.

 
I don't remember the name of the dish, but the shrimp was yummy and crunchy.

 
You can tell we love seafood, because you can't go wrong with ordering shrimp, I guess!

 
 I on the other hand had chicken liver and it was fried but really  nice.

 
This dish is the pretzel chicken sliders and it was on the starters menu, but I wanted it as my main course.
I enjoyed it, but I would have liked to have French fries on the side.

The atmosphere was refreshing and quite. If you haven't been there yet, I recommend you check it out.

Mustard for Dinner

Hi, I sense a strong passion in Kuwait for burgers these days and who doesn't love burgers? I wish this trend would last as long as there is.

I recently was home furniture shopping in Shuwaikh and Al-Tilal and I came across Mustard, which is located next to 52 degrees and I thought lets check it out.

 
They have an indoor seating area which was upstairs and an outdoor seating area. I personally preferred to sit outdoor, since the weather is amazing this time of year.

 
 This is their menu of types of burgers, fries, drinks and shakes.

 
 The atmosphere was very quiet and relaxing that night.

 
One thing I didn't like was the paper plates, cups and plastic forks. Dinning out is an overall pleasurable experience and the cutlery to me adds a lot to that dinning experience, even if it was burgers.

 
For a change, I decided to try the sweet potato fries and I loved it. I got some for my mum too because I knew she would like it as much as I did.
 
 
I ordered the chicken burger and it was truly yummy. The chicken breast was grilled and it was so tender. I am a bread addict and their bun was very soft.
 
Overall, I enjoyed the food and place and I recommended it to family and friends, since I was alone that day. But, one is never lonely with a good burger. Next time, I'm anxious to taste the beef cheese sliders.

Thank you mustard and wish you the best of luck and more success inshallah.

Marshmallows Nail Spa

Hi Girls, who likes to pamper  and spoil herself? I know I do.
And that is why I love to explore new salons and nail spas and this week I decided to visit the newly opened Marshmallows nail spa.

I called and booked an appointment to do a hair treatment and get my nails done. The receptionist was kind to tell me about an offer they had, which was to get 5 sessions of the the Macadamia hair treatment for only 25kd. I thought it was a good offer so ladies, if you're interested, the offer still runs.

 
Marshmallows is located in Symphony Mall in Salmiya, next to Hotel Missioni.

 
 And this is their entrance (At Mezzanine level).

 
As I entered, I was greeted nicely by the receptionist and she escourted me to the therapist who will be doing my hair. And of course, along the way I stopped to take some photographs.

 
 These are the rows and rows of nail polish.

 
 What I loved is that you can also pick out your favourite scrub for your hands and feet.

 
They had 6 nail stations opposite each other, 3 on each side and there was a TV set from the ceiling, accessible for both sides to watch.


 
 And this is the hair station, where I got my blow dry.

 
My therapist was Fay. She is the best at the head massage, I literally doozed off.

 
 As I was steaming the hair treatment on my hair, I got my nails done.

 
And of course, they were very hospitable and offered a hot drink and some tiny yummy marshmallows.

 
My choice of colour that day was Banana Mama from Essie.
 

Overall, the experience was great. The place was nice and quiet. The interior was modern and relaxing. The staff were very professional and welcoming. The prices for their hair and nail treatments were reasonably priced. This visit was my first, but surely not my last. Thank you marshallows.
I wish them the best and congrats on the lovely place.
