I have been hearing about this restaurant for sometime now but I didn’t have the chance to eat there yet. So instead of not eating there at all I decided to order pick up and bring it home. Walking into the mall I knew it was in the food court section but on the left side, I just kept walking until I found it. Oddly enough Avenues was empty, I thought it gets pretty full at night.
The place was relatively empty about 10% full out of all the tables. I took a menu and was approached by the waitress right away, I ordered one margaritta pizza, one quattro formagio pizza, one pepproni pizza, and lasagna bolognese. The lasagna for me, and all of this was to go. I told them to make sure it was done right and they will get comments from me one way or another. I have to say the manager was very nice and helpful, and made sure my order was taken care of. The chef on hand is a chef who used to work at the Harrods Pizzeria, the menu is also identical to the Harrods Pizzeria, and the furniture in the restaurant is an exact duplicate especially oven and cooking area.
They packaged it all together and ready to go, the packaging for the lasagna was a bit dissapointing since it looked like it will lose the heat quickly. So I took off home to make sure everything stays warm, I didn’t even switch on the A/C or air circulation.
As soon as I got home I put the lasagna in a plate and heated it up, thats why it looks displaced in the pictures due to my slight mishandling. One thing is for sure, their food is amazing, the pizza tasted great and fresh, the lasagna was amazing. I will be going to have dinner there soon to have the full experience, but as of now I really recommend people to go there.

I now get one day a week to really mess about, and last week I was pretty good to stick to the diet. So I keep thinking what is thing I want to eat the most, and after thinking the whole two days over it I decided on Johnny Rockets, I haven’t had that in a long time.
So we decided to order and I ordered for a few guys too:
- 2 x Chilli Bowls
- 2 x #12 Burgers
- 2 x Smoke House Burgers
- 4 x Chilli Cheese Fries
- 2 x Spicy Chicken Wings
- 2 x Onion Rings
- 4 x Apple pies with Vanilla ice cream
And this weeks diet is going to be a disaster, meaning I’m going to be hungry as hell.
Going to Napkit these days has become a habit, and the outdoor seating has been perfect timing since its nice weather. We usually have been going to Marina when the weather is nice, but we have come to enjoy Napkit. And I have to say they really do have good music playing in the early morning. I do get hungry seeing all the different types of sandwichs that they have available. I tend to eat a cesear salad, thinking its healthy enough and its a satisfying meal to degree, but I can still eat some more but I don’t.
Then there is one of our friends who comes in with a very angry face, and it gets better after he has two double espressos for his morning drink. To say that he is addict to it is an understatement. I think my favorite sandwich is called the Crowd Pleaser, and I do like the croissant with turkey and cheese. Its a restaurant with a different selection of items, and again good music.
This diet has been working out, a little at slow pass but there has been progress and I do sleep light. The nutritionist wasn’t too impressed with the results for the past two weeks, but I managed to keep things in check. I’m making progress and even after a meal my weight was 98 kgs, 2.5 kgs from the last time he saw me.
I think I need to exercise a little more, and get some real cardio into this routine. At least 30 to 40 minutes a day and that will help.
The Diet this Week:
Breakfast
- Frosties W/ Milk
- Toast W/ Milk
- Fruit W/ Milk
- Fruit W/ Milk
- Repeat from Beginning
Lunch:
- Grilled Meat w/ Salad
- 5 pieces of Sushi w/ Salad
- Fish w/ Salad
- Repeat
Afternoon:
- Apple
Sunset:
- 3 Dates
Dinner:
- Salad and Yogurt (Everyday)
I try to stick to this as much as possible, I do get one free day but there are some days that I do mess around a bit, like the other day I had a cesear salad for breakfast and I was really happy about it.
This diet thing has pretty much limited the choice of food that I can choose from except Saturday night since I have made some progress and the doctor gave me a day off, so I decided to order Chinese from Wok Master for myself and some of the guys.
I went on a slight rampage of choices since I was starving and looking forward to it for sometime now.
Order List:
- Chicken Spring Roll (Great)
- Shrimp Toast (very Good)
- Chicken Pieces
- Hot and Sour Soup
- Mixed Fried Rice (Good)
- Mixed Chow Mien (Fantastic)
- Sweet and Sour Chicken (Fantastic)
- Chicken in Lemon Sauce (Great)
- Mongolian Beef (Spicy, made some cry)
- Sweet and Sour Shrimp (Great)
- Prawn in Garlic Hot Sauce (Spicy, cleared your head)
The service was very good, pricing for amount of food was pretty good as well. We were four very hungry guys with bottomless pits who barely were able to finish the whole order. Everyone liked a certain dish and it suited a lot of tastes, its located in old Salmiya but you are better off calling them to figure out the directions, and you can also order through 6alabat.com. I have officially satisfied my urge for Chinese food for the past three weeks.

Trying to eat healthy is a bit difficult, and one thing that annoys me is that my sense of smell has become very sharp. I can smell a shawarma a mile away, especially when I’m riding the motorcycle. I was recommended to go to Obika for their really fresh food and healthy selection. When I walked in I didn’t know it was a mozzarella bar, and there were a lot of healthy items to choose from. I ordered some mozzarella rolls with beef, some salads, some sandwiches, and took them to my friends. I had a some salad and some turkey, and a little bit of cheese. All together it was really light and the food tasted very good, it was really enjoyable, they are located at the new end of the Avenues and on the first floor (not ground floor).
So I have started the detoxing period and I don’t think its that bad, some people freaked out about it. I just finished the 2nd day of the track, and so another 5 days left. I don’t have much of a sweet tooth so I didn’t mind no sweets, and I didn’t have a sugar crash, not just yet.
- Breakfast: Water + 1 Apple
- Noon: 5 Nuts + 1 Apple
- Lunch: 1/4 of Chicken + Salad
- Afternoon: 2 Dates + Lettuce
- Dinner: Varying on the day, had Soup Day One and Tabooleh Day Two.
Its honestly not too bad, I get hungry very quickly and I don’t feel too heavy at all. I just want to sleep earlier then usual because I run out of energy. I still went out riding on my own for bit but when I started feeling tired I headed home, it felt good to ride but I’m craving rice.
The only benefit to being on meds for the past two weeks was eating, I know I will have to make it up later. The main thing I was having in the morning and previously at night was this amazing Club Sandwich. There was a small salad that came with it and chips, not fries but chips. And then there was the fresh strawberry milkshake that was the perfect blend of ice-cream and fresh strawberries.Â
I was feeling like some scrambled eggs and sausages, so I decided to go to Earlybird early friday morning. I was hungry in the morning so I knew I was going to enjoy my meal. The best part is the drive to Fahaheel that early in the morning, the roads are empty and clear making it a lot more fun while listening to the right music. Suprisingly around 8:00 am the place was full and we only had one table available.
We ordered our food and within 10 minutes we had our meals, my friend had pancakes and I was having scrambled eggs and beef bacon. It was very tasty just as last time, and headed home.
I woke up really early in the morning so I had some time but I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I wake right away when I’m hungry, if I’m hungry I can’t doze back off to sleep. So after some thought this was the breakfast I had in mind, usually I don’t eat this type of breakfast but I was hungry and decided to indulge my appetite.
I do love ketchup with with my scrambled eggs and toast, and having the hot dogs made it perfect. I couldn’t ask for anything better to start the morning while watching a few episodes of anime.
