Going nuts for Hazelnut House

Hi. Since I have an addiction for chocolate and the curiosity to try new places in Kuwait, I went to Hazelnut House located at Kipco Tower.

 

Its a small cafe with the cutest interior ever. I loved the fact that they encourage people to read more by putting shelves with a lovely collection of books that one can borrow as he/she enjoys their dessert and coffee.

 

This is the view from our table.

 

As we entered, we were welcomed with a very friendly waiter. He gave us the menus and he recommended we try the following dishes because it was hard to choose from the wide variety of desserts.

 

This is the Nutella Molten Cake. It was so good, it makes you smile. The molten cake was very soft and goowy and the inside was filled with nutella.

 

My order was the Cookie Cup which is their signature dish. You can choose your sauce to fill it with: white or milk chocolate. I went for sweet milk chocolate. The waiter comes and pours the chocolate sauce for you. It was amazing. I loved it because it was like a 2-in-1: a fondue with berries and a cookie. I'm officially the cookie princess (not monster! ;))

 



The way they offered the bill was also cute and creative. I thought the price of the food and service was reasonable.

 

Thank you @hazelnut_house for existing in this world. I plan on coming again because I have to try the rest of the menu.

Tea Time Lounge

Hi I recently went with my friend @_amj_ for lunch to a cafe at KIPCO Tower called The Tea Time Lounge.
We wanted to try some place new so we picked this cafe.

As I entered, I said Hi to the staff, but I was not greeted so well. The staff stood at the counter and just looked at me. I went in and picked a table and called them and said "a table for two please". She replied sit maam. To me this was unhospitable.

My friend arrived and we sat and asked for the menus. This is the menu.

 

An Ipad is always preferred because I like to see the dishes that I order. When we ordered a fellow waitor came to take our orders and for some reason he was in a bad mood. My friend asked him if he's ok, then he starting laughing and being friendly.

 

 For the salad, we ordered the eggplant and mozzarella cheese salad with some balsamic vinegar. It was ok.
They served our main course straight after and we didn't eat the salad, because we didn't want our dishes to be cold when we eat them.

 

My lulu had two small dishes, one mac and cheese with mushroom. The other dish was a vegetable casserole in the oven. I liked the mac and cheese, but the other was a bit spicy for me.

 

 My order was the pink pasta which was very yummy. I added the chicken to the dish.

 

What I loved about the place is their plates and decor. And most importantly the quite atmosphere. We were the only table and we enjoyed our time talking and laughing.

The price of the food was reasonably. I recommend you try the place and have a relaxing afternoon tea.
