POTATA Spicy Biscuit! Super Yummy

 Small, everyday things make my day wonder-filled! In our company, we have a tradition of sharing food. Every month, I purchase wholesale biscuits and put them in a box  for everyone to take.  it's like a first aid kit for hunger (lolz) and vice versa. They also bring finger foods and share them.

This RED POCKET biscuit I received this morning surprised me. I was expecting some type of biscuit, but it was delicious! It's like eating chips in biscuit form! It's not sweet, it's actually a bit spicy, but it's awesome! 

I honestly don't know where to buy, just in-case you see this red pocket biscuit in any grocery store in kuwait, GRAB one!! u'll thank me for sure....

Kite Flying on the Weekend..Super Fun

On a typical FRIDAY after I officially open a small shop located in Hawally, I usually stay home or go out for breakfast with the family. Since I feel committed to completing all chores at home, I immediately go home.

I was overly stressed the previous days, and woke up on Friday just wanting to get out and breathe. My kids are also in need of some fresh space to explore and refresh their minds after exams and studies.

So early Friday morning, we bought some Filipino pack foods and headed to BNEIDAR to watch kite flying. It's in the middle of a desert, has no fees or anything like that. Just drive there, park your car, and have fun.

A super fun and inexpensive way to relax, eat, and enjoy the place over the weekend.

Horses and Yoga-- WEEKEND Thing to do

 

As someone who has worked in the equestrian industry for years, I have learned a lot about horses. They are loving, lovable, and gentle creatures. Although I cannot afford to own one, being a part of an industry where I can be of service to these beautiful creatures is more than enough for me!

It seems like a pretty interesting activity when I see it on my Instagram feed! 

Sweet Tooth Craving!! Buttery crunchy Ice Cream

 Ever since I tried this lokmat ice cream from AL KANAFANI, I always crave it!!! This ice cream has a crunchiness and buttery taste, with soft chewy ice cream inside! I super love it!!

WANASA BEACH!! one of the BEST Family Short break!

 

Loved every minute of our STAY at Wanasa beach. It's only about an hour's boat ride from the city to the ISLAND of Failaka. You'll have the most relaxing short break ever!!

HORSE SEASON almost ending!

 

As the horse season comes to an end, Monday racing has become more intense than ever! Last Monday racing was soooooooo much fun that every race was like a blast!! There is more cheering than every other Monday, and even I feel like I'm part of them as they watch the horses near the finish line! I wish the WINTER season in Kuwait would never end!

French Press Coffee Tumbler! LOVE it!

 

this time with milk (hehehhe)

Despite my love of coffee, I'm not the classy one. I can drink anything, even instant, as long as it's coffee. However, when my brother was suddenly hooked into the world of coffee, he became so obsessed that he started collecting things related to BREWED coffee. I was one of the lucky ones to benefit from his passion for coffee. Whenever he buys something new, he makes it a point to send me one to try, and it's been wonderful! The only problem was that I began to love brewed coffee. As I sought out that distinct aroma and taste of roasted coffee beans, instant coffee quickly became tasteless to me.

This is the product that makes all the difference. Everyday, this is my "go-to" cup! Making it very convenient for me to have a sip of fresh brewed coffee anytime and anywhere! Thank GOD for my Brother for gifting me this and for a bunch of coffee branded packs!! I'm blessed!! 

Practicality at it's BEST!! VEGETABLE Bouquet

 I recently saw a post on Facebook. Nonetheless, I feel compelled to post it because creative thinking such as this deserves a place on my blog. In the ERA where poverty and hunger are at their highest.

The idea is both practical and healthy at the same time. It's better to give something healthy and consumable rather than flowers that will dry up in days or extra-sweet chocolate because WHY NOT?! I can only see a woman who appreciates this kind of gift as someone worth keeping. Whether this is someone independent with a motherly mindset is unknown to me. It is just my personal observation.

I love it!! more ONIONS for me!!! hahahahaahah

HEALTHY INSECT SNACK

 

My diet journey starts over, so I'm hoping I'll stick to it this time! I was on Google looking for healthy alternatives snacks and I found this site.... high protein insects as snacks, well, I have been to china and other Asian countries specially in Thailand, this is not something unusual for me. I tried it before but I have never eaten it as I normally eat chips and corn. I came from a poor household but this kind of delicacies was never introduced to us growing up.

my thoughts: It's a healthy alternative that would reduce the number of insects in the world. It'll taste good that's for sure like peanut or something... but consuming it like normal snack??? well, I still have to think about it, im cool for now!! how about you??

OMG!! am I so bad???

Simple Filipino BRUNCH at the CITY

It's been awhile since my last visit to kuwait City, after SOUK SAlmiya became a hot spot, Kuwait City has become less and less popular among Filipinos. I, for one, find it more convenient to go to SOUK whenever I crave Filipino food or anything Filipino.

My kids like Filipino foods. They are born in Kuwait and don't speak much of the Filipino language much but by heart, they are obsessed with Filipino food. Yesterday, we headed to Kuwait City for BRUNCH. I wanted traditional Filipino breakfast dishes like TAPSILOG ( Fried Marinated Beef, Rice, Egg), Tocilog ( Sweet Marinated Chicken Egg and Rice), and soup.

As we arrived in UTC, the first floor area where the famous HALO-HALO is located, we were greeted by so many filipino servers who invited us to dine in their designated resto. We chose to dine in BARRIO FIESTA simply because the name itself sounds very filipino. A lady in dress (hahahaha) gave us a colorful laminated menu, after we ordered, I slowly observed the place. I can't believe nothing has changed. There are more shops but fewer people, the service is fast. Our food was ready in a few minutes and it tasted the way we wanted!! it suppppperrr YUM!!! the price is so reasonable, I think we paid, 10KD for the entire order good for 5 people

We were so hungry I totally forgot to take good photos haahahahah..... sooo sorry,  but anyhow, it's always fun to visit Kuwait City every once in a while. I think it's better now than before because there are fewer people, it's a pleasant experience.
