Brunch at Mugg & Bean - Al Kout


In the month of November, my friends and i drove off to Fahaheel for some work purposes and ended up having brunch at Mugg & Bean in Al Kout Mall... it was around 12:35 pm and we thought we wouldnt get to eat out off the breakfast menu but luckily M & B had it open for brunch as well...
The weather was beautiful so we decided to sit out and enjoy our brunch !! :)
We were super hungry and the menu had alot of options so i decided to go with the best seller and the rest well here it goes :
The Famous M & B Breakfast :
Two fried eggs(scrambled)medium soft , Veal Bacon strips , 3 Sausages, baked beans in tomato sauce , Sauteed Mushrooms ,hashbrowns , grilled tomato and two french bread slices on the side (add a flapjack for KD 0.800) KD 3.800
Businessman's Breakfast :
Scrambled eggs on a toasted bagel, Veal Bacon strips , 3 rolls of Mozzarella, Salad leaves with cucumber, tomatoes,onions and carrot . KD 3.300
Day Breaker Breakfast :
Savoury mince and sunny side up on a M&B toast with a salad leaf, tomato and lemon slice on the side. KD 3.300
add on gatineed Mozzarella cheese for KD 0.900
M & B Grill : (not from the breakfast menu)
Prime steak, grilled veal bacon strips , grilled chicken tikka fillet, grilled tomato & two sunny side up eggs with M&B potato wedges. KD 5.000
Off course i ordered for some butter on the side and we all had orange juicy and a coffee.
Total Cost was around KD 17.000 for 4 persons

The M& B breakfast was delicious, fresh and satisfying!! it was a perfect brunch!! my eggs were medium soft and creamy just the way i like it...the sausages, bacon and hash brown were perfectly fried so it wasnt dry and the mushrooms were juicy and fleshly!! the baked beans in tomato sauce were regular tasting...all this with freshly squeezed orange juice and to end it all a nice cup of coffee :) yummylicious!!

Businessman's breakfast was ordered by my friend..he loved it and so did i!! the eggs were same as mine..the toasted bagel was delicious..the salad was fresh, the bacon was a little crisp but he liked it that way and the the mozzarella was yummm....

Day Breaker Breakfast was ok not as good as the above two...it had minced meat which was decent and two sunny side up!! it was just fine ..nothing special!! they should add a little more to this breakfast!!

The M & B Grill had lots to eat but lacked in taste with the meat... lets start with the meat..first mistake didnt ask us how do we like our meat to be cooked...so i had to mention it twice that i need it medium but still got the meat well done...same with the chicken it was dry!! the potato wedges ,eggs and the becon strips were good!!
So i would definitely recommend the first two and not the last two!!
Overall, we all ate of each others plates to taste it all and ended up with full and happy tummies :)
Off course not to forget the staff was really friendly and nice!! (except for the meat part which happens so no worries just hope that they keep it in mind next time onwards ) :P

Another trick to bake brownies and cupcakes in no time for those of you who's always on run and need a last minute preparation...Or for those lovely romantic men out there who wants to suprise or just pamper their loved ones or just bake it for themselves :P
I love TSC ..its like they have it all!! i found these Jane Asher Creations and could not take my eyes off it!! it was calling out to me!! i bought them to give it a try plus i was late so i wanted to bake a fresh batch before my friends had come...i love the smell of cookies , cupcakes and brownies at home.. :)
Super easy to make and was ready in no time....instructions are mentioned on the back of the box and plus each of it came with all the necessities
The Milkybar mix contained the the mix , icing and milkybar buttons to decorate it.
The Rolo Brownie Mix had the mix and the Rolo's sufficient to top it off .
The only effort by us side is to mix the dry ingredients with the wet ones and bake it!! the usual :)

Let me warn you that these are yummylicious!! totally worth it!!
Each box costs around KD 1.000 or something...i cant really remember the price..

While i was searching for Jane Asher i came accross the following:
Jane Asher (born 5 April 1946) is an English actress and musician. She has also developed a second career as a cake decorator and own a cake shop!! plus all the brand mix with Victoria food..
I am completely in love with her..super multi talented...a power house!!

Kirkland Signature Belgian Chocolate Cookie Assortment



This delicious box of heaven was at TSC... i did not think twice before picking them up for christmas...i totally fell in love with the box and its description and to top it all its Belgian Chocolate!!! these European biscuits & Cookies are a must have... total yummylicious!!
my sister and i could not keep our hands off it!!
Each box contains two trays with all the assorted cookies & biscuits..enough to feed a big gathering !!
Its only for KD 4.990

I had to learn more about these biscuts so i looked around and i found out that these are from a very special European bakery which has been crafting these delicious pastries since 1987, when the decadent flavor of chocolate was enjoyed only by the privileged few. From the beginning royal families began appointing the bakery as the official purveyors to their Royal Courts. These delicates are just as popular today.Kirkland Signature European cookies feature the finest Belgian chocolates - a feast for the eyes and a delight to the palate.
cookies truly fit for royalty...hehe... :)
