Water Bar

In a recent trip to Dubai we went to Dubai Mall and left the car with the valet parking, and when we came back to collect it they gave us this box as a gift..

I never thought water can be gifted but I guess I'm wrong!
I loved it!
It has a selection of 5 different types of supposidly some of the best bottled water in the world. All of them I've never heard about before.. each had a brief discription.. here they are:

1. ISKILDE

2. Mondariz

3. Te Waihou

4. Tazmanian Rain

5. Ice Age

Here's their link: Water Bar

Around Europe in 21 days - Part 2

More pics from the summer vacation.. I enjoyed taking pics of the amazing scenery that surrounded me.. just look at the ones with the sunflowers, I just wished that I could run through them as if I were in an indian movie (damn bees that were everywhere preventing me from doing so ;p)

Around Europe in 21 days - Part 1

This summer vacation was unplanned and spontaneous which made it so much more fun!

It flew by so fast oo suddenly it was like khala9 2morrow I'll go back to work, oo kan e7ooshni sh3oor 1st day of school, ili ba6ni e3awirni oo i feel like crying ;p

Do u still get that feeling?! ;p

I'll Leave the pics to do the talking ;)

Cookies

Whenever I'm in london, an almost daily stop for me is Marks & Spencer's food grocery on Oxford street to get me some chocolate chip cookies.. I just MUST have it everyday!

The other day while shopping at 360's M&S I found this box and I was ecstatic!

I had to grab one to try at home.. it contains 2 bags, one for the dry ingredients and another for the chocolate chips.. u'll only have to add butter and little bit of water..

Results? I can have my fav cookies right here at home! although mine was a bit buttery, I think I added a little more than what I should have.. but it sure did taste and look the same!

so much for dieting ;p

Back home

and jet lagged so badly!
i sleep at 1:00am and after waking up for il fayer i can't go back to sleep,then me, the person that does not sleep il 3a9ir, sleep for 2-3 hrs il 3a9ir! i'm getting a total of 4-5 hrs aday =/

There were no sings of swine flue in every airport i've been to except for Kuwait's.. they give u those forms to fill out oo u get scanned in by the camera that detects heat illi u have to walk by to go to the baggage claim area..

anyways.. back to NY, the two areas i loved the most were Soho and the Meatpacking District..

Soho
the area has some really nice stores and good restaurants and cafes.. wandering around the streets of Soho i saw this drawn on a wall

looks familiar?! ;p

One of the best pizza's u'll have there is at Lombardi's


Share the pizza so u can have dessert in the close by Rice To Riches.. they serve the best rice pudding i've ever had..


oo there were so many flavors to choose from it was really hard! at the end i went with the one with cookie dough.. 3ajeeeb! (reminded me of cerelac which i secretly still like ;p)



i loved the signs they had hanging all around the store check them out:






Nespresso's branch in Soho was still not fully opened.. but it had some cool law7at on display of celebrities all made out of their coffee capsules



The Meatpacking District
a very hip area that also has some cool shops and trendy restaurants ..

I tried out Pastis that was recommended to me by a friend.. though, like the Buzberry said, the food was nothing special but it was the perfect place for Sunday brunch



the owners of Pastis are the same owners of Soho's Balthazar.. they have a similar menu. i tried it for lunch.. the experience was much better than the burnch at pastis..


This was drawn on a wall infront of spice market (which was so not worth it oo so overrated).. i think i like the drawing more with the vandalism.. the moustache gives it some character ;p


That's all!
now if only i can get rid of the jetlag faster.. it's been a while now yarabi eshkithir more do i have to suffer?!
