(My favorite home!! Not a clue as to who lives in this fine place!)
A simple but thoroughly fine home sweet home!Following my weekly grocery stop at The Sultan Center in Salmiya, I went to the new Movenpick Hotel and Resort situated along the Gulf Road (Hwy #25), in-between the 5th and 6th Ring Roads. Allegedly this place has been here for 1 year & 3 months. I have no idea how I could have missed this place but I am sure glad I finally came by today!! Next to the Movenpick are several fine restaurants: Chili's, Tumbleweeds, Starbucks (naturally!), Costa Coffee and at least a dozen more places whose names I can't remember. All are as new as the Movenpick. A selection of the photos I took during this lunch stop are shown below:

I had the Friday Buffet meal which includes a chicken schwarma (shown above). Total cost for the buffet meal was 15.4 KD or $57 USD or 45 Euros. As always, I waddled home fully stuffed.

The front view of the Movenpick Hotel entrance and adjoining Chili's restaurant and many other fine eating places. Well worth a weekend visit!FYI: The weather this time of year in Kuwait is excellent: 20 - 25 deg C (68 - 75 deg F) with blue skies.

Hi Traveling Chemist,
The chicken schwarma is called kebab in my country :) You can get it for less than 5 USD here.
And all these years living in Malaysia, I had never actually tried it!

You should try the turkey meat schawarma. I find it tastier than the chicken meat and the lamb meat schawarmas.
Anyway, a solid schawarma stand has all the three sorts .
Schwarma is one of my favorite all time food! I prefer the chicken myself. Although, I've had lamb and it's quite tasty. Ahhh, who cares what its made of, I'll eat'em all! Was there anything else in the buffet? $45 is a lot for a schwarma...
