Who said eat light is healthier, who ever said that never felt hungry. I had a light lunch early in the day, by 7pm I was hungry as hell and I couldn’t think straight since I wanted to eat something, and I didn’t want to eat at the same time.
By 7:10 pm there was no return, I had to eat something and I had to decide quickly. I went through my thought process and decided to go for a burger, but where. Fuddruckers popped into mind, and so I ordered from the one in Dahya Abdulla Al Salem since it will be less traffic and I don’t have to leave my car. I took off flying there so that I could continue my Smallville marathon weekend.
Ordered:
- Buffalo Wings
- Cheddar Cheese Burger with Grilled Onions & French Fries
That really hit the spot and was worth the drive.
I have had hot chocolate in different locations throughout Kuwait, and I have to say that there are some places which get it right some that just can’t seem to get it right. Right now this is my break down, and its the best time to have a hot chocolate in the cold weather these days.
- La Pan
- Johnny Rockets
- Coffee Bean
- Costa Coffee
- Starbucks
Surprisingly the Starbucks hot chocolate is the worst one, its not bad it just tastes like a melted chocolate bar instead of hot chocolate.
After a long and tiresome day at work I just want to grab a bite to eat. I was freezing and hungry, I wanted something to hit the spot. Then I remembered I was having mawash mrabian (Baryani Shrimp) for lunch which is probably one of the best dishes to eat during winter.
When I smelt the food upon entering the room, all I could think of was how much I could eat. I tried stuffing myself as much as possible, but then I ate just enough to be full. It was a good night, I watched some Chuck and ate some good food.

This a place situated just beside DIC (Dubai Internet City) in Jumeirah, its a man made marina for boats and a lot of buildings have been built around it. There are a lot of towers being built around the bay, many differen kinds of buildings are being built as business rental, hotels, and apartments. In the marina area itself they have setup some very nice outdoor seating with many different restaurants such Johnny Rockets, Indian, Italian, Sushi, Lebanese, and a few sheeha places (for those who like sheesha).
We had lunch there because we were really hungry and it was amazing just sitting outside and enjoying the view. Its nice to spend the morning or afternoon there, lots of people were walking around, its even packed at night.
So after that little incident we were all up early in the morning and so we headed to Marina, to Johnny Rockets to be exact. At 11:40 am and we wanted our burgers and fries, but they told us its breakfast time only, so we complained until we got our chili cheese fries and Rocket Double burgers. It was funny since a few weeks back we at lunch there at 8:00 am so I was a bit surprised about what they said, we were just laughing as complaining.
It was damn cold so we kept ordered hot chocolates to keep us warm, and one of our friends kept getting a mix of hot chocolate and coffee which worked for him. It was a fantastic day just to relax outside, we were laughing our heads off the whole time were there and freezing as well, the heaters wouldn’t want to work. After that we took the long way back home and enjoyed the beautiful weather.
I kept hearing about the meat factory for the past 6 months, so I had a chance to go visit The Meat Company on the last day. It turns out to be a South African chain and they had a choice of African or Australian Beef to choose from and the Australian was of higher grade. I wanted to try the riblets they had and I was going to have the Ribeye as usual to see how good it is.
For the starter we had the riblets and that got very messy very quickly. It was very tasty but the portion isn’t that much but tasty. Then for the main course I got my Ribeye in medium rare to see how it would taste. It looked really good when I got the steak, but I was disappointed as I was eating it. It wasn’t cooked right, and it was dry in a few parts. They have good steak but the Rib Room has high quality beef, you can tell that by the grade of the meat they are using. Overall I think its pretty good, but Rib Room is better.

I am a very picky person when it comes to my steak, I have had some amazing steaks over the years and so I know quality meat when I taste it. There are so many different kinds and so many ways to eat it. I think Middle Easterners and Arabs don’t know how to enjoy a steak they have this strange fear of seeing red, a little red doesn’t mean blood but they most people don’t listen and ask for it well done so it becomes like a piece of rubber and they won’t really know what they are missing.
When I try a new place and it seems relatively good I tend to go with Medium Rare with any of my meats, I go with a few different cuts depending on what I feel like. Its usually between the Rib Eye and Porter House since those are the juiciest cuts. I have tried the Rib Room a few times at this point and I have to say they are very consistent with the quality of food they have. Out of all the meat places I have tried in the Middle East this is probably the best Steak place available, I have tried much better in Northern California but they are extremely good compared to what is available so you can enjoy your steak. The one main point is not to have an sauces on the meat or else you will miss out on the taste of the meat. My rules are simple when it comes to eating steak I only drink water and no sauces on the meat so that I can really enjoy a great piece of steak.
The Rib Room has a very nice selection of meat and side dishes to go with it. It is located in the Emirates Towers Hotel and it is worth visiting if you like steaks.
Over the past week and a half I have been reducing the amount of food I intake which I think has been good. I have stopped drinking anything except water, and I have stopped eating rice so that didn’t fill me.
Eating less has helped me a lot to keep on the go since I don’t feel like passing out right away after eating and feeling exhausted. I eat just enough not to feel hungry and at that point I can get up and do other things. I do feel healthier and I want to continue this eating habit since it will help me reduce weight, its not a diet but just regulating my eating habits. And I will try my best not to eat ice cream at all, even though I love it.
After a few days of taking it easy on the food and getting very little sleep I reached a point of zombie like energy. I felt that I wasn’t completely 100% and I still wanted to function but my body wanted to shutdown. The funniest thing is that I could literally smell everything from seeds (7ab) to fruit, I think I just wanted to eat everything in front of me but I resisted until having dinner with the family. At that point I thought I just want sustance and that is what I got, I honestly just wanted to eat what was in from of me, I didn’t want to try anything else or reach farther then what was necessary.
I just have to say that I really like Johnny Rockets, and I really felt like it yesterday. So I talked a few people to going to Johnny Rockets after work instead of going home. After finishing up work and other items we got things going, I drove like hell straight to there since I was hungry and all I can think about was the chili cheese fries.
I ordered:
- One Strawberry Milkshake
- One Chili Cheese Fries
- One Rocket Double with grilled onions, no tomato.
That really hit the spot, and I felt sleep right after that for the rest of the day. At least I ate early in the day, 5:30 pm was my lunch and dinner, because of work that happens a lot.
