Well-FAD in KUWAIT! - PART 2 of KUWAIT!

kuwaitis - one of the world's fattest people, according to WHO. and its not difficult to see why, when you go for a typical meal with them. something trivia, there is no "kuwaiti" food, the kuwaitis eat mainly lebanese dishes.



and you can imagine the shock we had when we see the amount of food they serve. a standard lebanese meal would always have some veg for the starter, which got us wondering whether it was meant to be eaten, or was it for decorative purposes. nonetheless, some of us ate it, and me being almost a carnivore - found it rather too primitive, and thought i was brought back to caveman era.

like most middle eastern food, they also have pitas for starters and kebabs and a lot of meat for their main course! but for myself i usually get full after eating one pita along with the sauce. ha!


if you're feeling rich and want to taste some good lebanese food, i would recommend you to try AlHamam restaurant. it's along the coastline at salmiya area. a pity i couldn't take pictos cos i was with too many VIPs. the ambience is great, the meat is tender, even for josy who's not a big fan of mutton, simply cldnt resist taking few more bites! and on top of the food, you can always take a puff of shisha, as i see many locals do in the same restaurant.

natalie introduced us to this drink that comes from pine trees. it's really sweet and tasted similar to rose syrup! im really bad with arabic names, so wait till i get the name from josy!

we also tried lebanese food at holiday inn salmiya. even though it paled in comparison to alhamam, but to get a general feel of the food, check out the fotos!



next up, kuwaiti sights and shooooopppping!
