As I’m getting to know Kuwait, I’m finding many highlights along the way. And one of the definite perks is the abundance of great food! For such a small country, the range of restaurants available is surprising. The recent favourite in the apartment is Lebanese. On average, the prices at restaurants here are higher than I’m used to, but very little is produced in Kuwait and the prices likely reflect the cost of importing goods. Despite the cost, my roommates and I have been making a weekly purchase for take-away. In particular, I’ve been enjoying the range of Lebanese salads, such as fattoush. Although the apartment comes with a great kitchen (a bonus after my miniature kitchen in Japan), and it’s been fairly easy to find all the ingredients for home cooking, I’m looking forward to exploring more of the culinary offerings of the Middle East.
One of my personal highlights this week was another trip to the waterfront in Salmiya for shopping, and lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe with my roommate and her friend. Although the afternoon heat is still a little too intense to go walking along the waterfront, I got a sneak peak of the beach and a great walking trail that I will no doubt make good use of when the Fall weather arrives.
And of course, here are some photos as promised. Enjoy!
