Ghabga At Le Notre

I received an invitation from Le Notre for a bloggerette Ghabga. I was so excited to meet the bloggerettes who are behind  their faboulous blogs. The Ghabga was hosted by Ansam :)

The ladies all looked chic and amazing
in their Dera3a's and trendy suits.
Since I was a bit emtan7a, it took me a moment
to connect the dots to who is who ;p

Now, let's talk about Le Notre. We all know if we have an event where we go to for an exceptional catering of food and service.
I don't know about you, but I, if I had special guests I wanted to impress in the country I take them to Le Notre for Lunch or Dinner.
So I don't need to say more about what I was expecting
from Le Notre when I arrived there because
they always exceed my expectations.
After greeting my fellow bloggerette and sat,
then I began to take in the whole table setting.
It was KOKO! I loved it! Loved the flowers the little
colorful tin pots filled with dates, pickles and chili, the candles.
Everything was so elegant and romantic!

As you can see, the table setting looks amazing.
I loved it and there were many snaps of the this table setting. 

 I loved the purple and gold set.
Look at my purple cups!

Here is my plate! I wonder from where they got them?  
I want a table set like this one in gold and red ;p

 By now, a lot of you have seen similar snaps of
this salad bar arrangement. But look at the colors.
I'm so crazy about those cool festive colors.
I love it! The Salads was super delicious.

 So, what's on the menu?

Gulf Bank Funny Ramathan Ad

           

Oh that is soo funny!
Reminded me of Ahmed yesterday sitting between his
father and I and eating a sandwich and singing
"Cha...Cha...Cha...Chalb ermthan...

Gelato Italiano Platter


Yesterday afternoon my friend Um Nasoor called me wanting some Ramadan flavors in a platter. She sent a large bowl to the store and I instructed our employee to fill it with scoops of 4 flavors from the Ramadan range.
Her bowl filled about 4Kg of  gelato, and according to
her it was all gone when she served it during
her family gathering Iftar.

If you have a platter you want to fill. You can always bring
it to the store a day before and fill it with scoops of your favorite
flavors from Gelato Italiano :)

Um3azoz's Kitchenette: Chocolate Bread Pudding

 This is a very easy recipe and very decadent. It is for those who are chocolate lovers like me! W ye7boon alsa7na ;p

Ingredients:Croissants. Cut into pieces. What I do sometimes is cut the croissant into half, smear it with nutela or peanut butter, then chop it into pieces.
1 3/4 cup of whipping cream
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 1/2 cup (300g) semi sweet chocolate.
1 large egg
1 tsp of vanilla essence

                                   
 
- Heat the whipping cream, sugar and milk in a sauce,
until it starts to boil and the sugar incorporated.
- Add the chocolate and mix until it is melted.
- Crack the egg in separate bowl mix it then with the chocolate mix and leave it for 1-3 minutes until you feel the mixture is getting a tiny bit heavy, then add the Vanilla.
- Place the chopped croissant in an oven proof plate and pour the chocolate mixture on top and let it soak for a moment.
- Place the plate in a preheated oven 180 and bake it for 30-40 minutes.

Best served with a Vanilla Gelato,
or even better Peanut butter Gelato!!!
