21 Carrots new menu testing.


Hello wonderful readers,
Hope you are doing well,


I wanna tell you about a very yummy, exciting place I went to in Al-hamra mall. 
I have enjoyed being indulged in the most delicious drinks and coffee sweets. 
The place is called 21 carrots, it is the perfect place you'll visit if you need a quick desert for Zwara or a mini reception or big one, a wedding or any celebration you have. They will arrange it to you from A to Z. I was very happy to hear that because the ambiance of the shop was so me. The simple floral and candles decoration was so me. 

Everyone should try 21 carrots for their zwara. I am sure the will adore it as I did. 


The event was arranged by the amazing LOveLife Blog. She was so sweet and thoughtful to invite me. I have enjoyed chatting with her and thanks for the blogging advice you gave me. 


Hope you enjoy my the yummy treats as much I love the new menu flavors &  sweets. 





























 

Hope you have enjoyed the post as I am enjoying and remembering the wonderful night and seriously craving some 21 carrots treats.

The Yoga Center Community Week Event. #IDoYogaKw




Good morning lovelies

Stuck in traffic, late for class or stressed?
Let it pass by and enjoy your day. Make the fullest out of it. Enjoy it. 
And for the reason of this post. You might need a yoga class to attend too. 


So the last week, I got invited to a well arranged yoga class for The Yoga Center in Burj Jassim. The event was arranged by the pretty & sweet Nouf H, the creative mind behind Pretty Little Things. 

It was held on September 22 in Burj Jassim, as I previously mentioned. 

I was really excited about this event especially that I tried a yoga class once upon a time, and  although I was not that flexible, but I liked it. And who does not want de stress out his mind. So yeah please, sign me in. Hehe. You can tell, I was waiting the event patiently. 


The event was well arranged between 3 classes. The breathing class, the warm class in the sun room (which is the center's signature area & the owners inspirational talk. I loved how the breathing class makes you feel afterword. It was so relaxing. My another favorite class was the warm class. They adjust heat & humidity to increase detoxification. Seriously, I LOVED IT. I have not tried anything like this before, atmosphere-wise. Every one should try it. It is really different. And I think it is what makes them shine among other health centers. 



Now let us talk about the event & the place. Before even entering, you will see the most sweet welcoming message out there. I was like, I wanna have it hanged in my room's door. 



The place was so welcoming & cozy. The owners & their staff were so sweet & helpful. The amazing arrangements in the even were all done by Noaf herself. The beverages were so refreshing. My favorite was the water infused w/ lemon & mint. 




My favorite place was this corner. And there were many beautiful pieces hanged in the walls, beside the welcoming yoga tree at the entrance. 





Last but not least, the goodie bag. 
Check out this pic from my Instagram showing the goodie bag. And the star of the goodie bag was the, customized & made with love, yoga matt bag. The owners made the in HK and are available in the center's store. I love the effort the owners given to embrace the love in their center. They have hand picked &specially ordered everything from the Eco friendly yoga mats to the tables made of mango trees in the reception area. 




I hope you have enjoyed my post. And I  would like to thank The Yoga Center & Nouf H, @pltq8, for the amazing time I have spent there.

Good morning lovely readers!

صباح الخير و النوير
How are you guys? And how are you doing? 

Hope you have the most lovely day starting with a very beautiful morning! <3

So today my post will be about BACK TO SCHOOL!

I know, I know you will all say "not SCHOOL". Hehe. 

I don't exactly mean school.  School, collage or even Dawam. 

I do not know why, but I looooove this time of the year. I love its joy & excitements. The happiness of buying school supplies. I do not do matchy-matchy things like I used to do back in middle school.  But I love to have colorful, mostly Hello Kitty 2HB pencils (Now I am loving the 2HB pencils more than the mechanical ones.)
 


So what are you excited about? What are your must do before school/ dwam? Your annual  pleasure & joy? 

Hope to hear from you too. 

XO,
M.

#Review Posh Café: The New Love Of My Life.

Hello readers,

مبارك عليكم باجي الشهر
Happy Ramadhan fot the remaining Ramadhan days.

Before everything, I just want to let you know a thing about me. I have completely tranformed 180• from a picky eater to An improved eater, which includes more vegetable, dressings, basically everything with little caution toward some food such as onion, garlic, tomatos, some greeny leaves. I have not accepted their flvour yet. Maybe in the near future hehe!
So what all that thing was for? I just wanted to show you how I appreciate food now and the experience of expereminting new things, new ingrediants & flavours. I have basically fallen in love with FOOD. 


Enough from the atory of my food life hehe and back to the new addition to my life. Hehe. 

Let me tell you first about my countless time of going to 360 and passing by posh café and never getting in. Untill the day Posh Café represented by Mrs. Nancy D'souza  |  Social Media & PR Executive has invited me to try the café for the first time. I went there with my little brother and sister and I went there before Ramadhan.

It was a very enjoyable experience that I appreaciate having. From the ambiance, to the waiters, to the chefs. I would give the a 10/10 for my very memoriable first time. I mean it is your first impression which  makes you come again and again and again for a reaturant and Posh Café has passed this test. 

Let us talk food now. 
What I tried, ordered, loved & adored. 


-Fresh lemon with mint: if you know me well you'd know that this beverage is my favourite. And this was one of the yummiest I have tried.

-Mushroom & gruyere soup: I do not know why I ordered it, maybe because I was fasting that day.  Hehe but it is a yummy soup must try. For the sake of the mushroom indulgent.  

-Chicken saesar salad: another must try for me in any place is the saesar salad w chicken. This was so yummy loved the dressing and the tenderness of the chicken in it. 


-Cajun shrimp: never tried anything similar before. Yummy yummy yummy. The sauce was so delicious togather they make the perfect combination. I do not know where was I from this thing!! 

-Portebello chips: This was not my favourite not because of a spicific reason, it is just because I am not a big fan of the flavour. When I took this for take away my family loved it. So for this dish it is a matter of taste. It had a strong flavour for what I usually like. But the sauce was so delicious!!!! 

-Slider: since they give you three sliders I have asked to try 2 different things, PFC Chicken & the Mushroom and Gruyere patty - my brother and sister ate this so the only thing left was the chicken heheh it was ok for me maybe because it was not that juicy or saucy. 


-Zurichoise / Veal: so tender and saucy the only thing is I wished the potatoes had some side sauce. Maybe same as the veal sauce? But overall it was delicious.  


The signiture cheeseburger: the bomb, the IT BURGER, the best ever ever ever. When I was eating it, I was thinking to myself I would give it the #1 burger award!!!! And the side fries?   Wasthe cherry in top. My brother and sister loved it that we had to order another side fries! MUST TRY. No wonder it is their beat selling dish. 


  
-Nutella pops & the Strawberry cheesecake jar: *sigh* what should I say. It was so yummy that I would come to Posh café for deseret only to have theae two!!!!! The taste will make you cry from its delicious-ness. The waitor has told me that these two were the chef's recomindation. And thankfully, I have tried them. Latheeeeethen! 


Here is their dessert bar! Yummy enough? Yeaaah! Loved the picture I took hehe. For instance i felt like a proffesinal photographer. Heheh ;p thanks to Posh Café dessert bar. <3


Now to my last thoughts and what I recommend you to try و انتو مغمضين :

-Nutella pops & the Strawberry cheesecake jar. 
-The signiture cheeseburger. 
-Cajun shrimp. 
-Chicken saesar salad. 
-Zurichoise / Veal. 


It was a very pleasant experience for me to try especially with my little brother & sister. For that, I would like to thank Alkharafi group, For this lovely opportuinty to be indulged through a very delicious dishes with a very friendly ambiance represented with a very  kind staff who helps the customer around. <3


Thanks again to Mrs. Nancy D'souza, Chef Anand D' Mello (who took a good care of the meal and helped me and prepared all these dishes which were so yummy) and to Chef Andy Chung for the lovely chat That I had with him. 


Hope you love the post. And love my choices and try them. 

See you in another resturant review.
