EMIRGAN SUTIS - TURKISH RESTAURANT
Two weeks ago, on a Wednesday, I was at the Grand Avenues. The first thing I wanted to do was have breakfast. It was nearly 11 am and I hadn't eaten anything from home as I had left in a hurry. So the question was what to eat. I walked towards the Souk district and chose Emirgan Sütiş. There were many times I passed by Emirgan Sutis during weekends and the restaurant used to be full. This meant the food is definitely great. Since I was there on a week day, there wasn't much rush. The staff was welcoming and friendly and I chose to sit outside so I can get a good view of everything around me. I ordered for eggs. Now it's been two weeks, so I forgot the name of the dish. But you will see it in their breakfast section of the menu when you visit them. The eggs arrived pretty soon along with a basket of assorted bread. I can't eat much in the morning, so I had the eggs which I enjoyed but didn't try the assorted bread. They even brought to the table freshly baked hot pita bread and the smell was amazing. I did try a small piece of the pita bread and if you like bread you should have it as soon as it arrives at the table or it can get a bit dry. After relishing a simple breakfast of eggs, I ordered for turkish coffee. And that was really good. Enjoyed every sip. They have a wonderful menu for lunch and dinner. I am definitely going there for lunch next time. If you love Turkish food like me, do visit Emirgan Sütiş. I recommend that you visit the restaurant for lunch or dinner. There is a variety of wonderful Turkish cuisine to choose from. You will find the restaurant busy during the weekends. It's worth it even if you have to wait a bit for a table. Try going on a week day when it's not all too busy. Emirgan Sutis is located in the Souk district at Grand Avenues.
Now for some photos I took.

MISS DIOR BLOOMING BOUQUET FRAGRANCE
While I was Harvey Nichols two weeks back, I decided to check if they got any new fragrances from Miss Dior and did I have a pleasant surprise! Miss Dior has released a new fragrance, Blooming Bouquet which is an eau de toilette. This was released in early January this year but I just came to know of it only recently. I must say this is a truly amazing fresh floral fruity fragrance that represents spring and all things happy and beautiful. I just loved the way it smelt when I sprayed some on me. Its like a burst of beautiful smelling flowers that envelop you and uplift your mood instantly and leave you smelling great. The name Blooming Bouquet is just so apt. I liked this way better than my Miss Dior eau de perfume I had got from U.S. last year, which is very strong.
Top note in Blooming Bouquet is citrusy Italian mandarin essence. The heart note comprises of the calm and light accords of Peony. The base note is white musk with a powdery effect. It includes Rose Damascus with fruity notes that adds to the liveliness to this beautiful fragrance. I need to try it out again to see how long it would last on my skin. I am quite particular a fragrance should last a minimum of 5 to 6 hours.
Update 4 April 2014: Two days ago, I tried it out again and sadly it did not last more than 3 hours on me. I don't know if it would last more on others depending on their skin. Wish such an amazing smelling fragrance would have lasted longer. This was something I so wanted to buy but I had to change my mind. Test it on yourself and see if you like it and if lasts on your skin.

MY PHOTOS FOR THE DAY - THE COMMON SIGHT OF GRILLED CHICKEN
When you drive through anywhere in Kuwait, you are bound to see this common sight. The Grilled Chicken. It is called Chicken Shawai? Is that right? I am not a fan of it at all. But I did enjoy photographing the ever common Grilled Chicken you see at the Arabic fast food restaurants everywhere. My husband had parked his car outside this take away restaurant and we were waiting for our order of kebabs and hommus while the worker brought out a big long skewer of several chicken to be grilled. And my camera went went click, click, click.
LA SALADE RESTAURANT AT JEWELRY ZONE GRAND AVENUES
Two weeks ago, I was at the Grand Avenues, it was way past my lunch time, and I was famished. Since I've been trying to eat healthy, I decided to try out La Salade at the Jewelry Zone. I ordered grilled chicken breast with sauted vegetables and saffron rice. Before the order arrived, I was served assorted breads and olive paste in olive oil and chilli infused olive oil. I just loved the olive paste with the bread sticks. I couldn't help asking for more, the olive paste that is.
My order arrived. I liked the marinade they used for the chicken breasts, it was divine. I felt the chicken would have been great if was tender and succulent. Perhaps they could have done that if they added some yoghurt or vinegar in the marinade, to get the nice texture. I found it bit tough. The vegetables included sauted broccoli, cauliflower and carrot which could have been steamed or cooked a wee bit more. The saffron rice was just amazing. Now this order was from their a la carte menu that has plenty of healthy choices. Besides that, there is a salad buffet with a variety of sauted and steamed vegetables, fruits and healthy dressing and if you are health conscious and strict about what you have, there is lot to choose from. Marinated chicken, shrimp, and meat is available as a part of the salad buffet which will be grilled for you.
They have both outdoor and indoor seating areas. The staff was very pleasant and friendly. Their service was great.
