It was Dotsson who first reported that Krispy Kreme has finally arrived to Saudi Arabia, and now Mochness has the first review after getting a chance to try their donuts before the grand opening which is expected on the first day of Eid al Fitr. I had my first Krispy Kreme donut on my last [...]

Saudi Favourites
Sunday, September 2, 2007 – 14:47
British expat Margrave is starting a series of posts called Riyadh Favourites (RF). The aim is to help you find places to go and things to do in the capital. I think this is a very nice idea. If we started to post reviews like that and tag them with tags like Riyadh Favourites, Jeddah [...]
Saudis Guys Don’t Enjoy Art?
Friday, December 22, 2006 – 16:09
I can explain: too many exams, too little time. But I’m not dead, I just don’t have time for blogging, or anything else for that matter. You have no idea what kind of an overwhelming stress and pressure pharmacy students have to go through. I wanted to go to Hewar Gallery after reading about it [...]
Zait o’Za’tar
Sunday, November 19, 2006 – 17:47
Growing up in Al-Ahssa (aka Hassa, Hofuf), one of my favourite meals was pastries served in these little diners run by Turkish workers that spread at different corners of the city. These pastries are similar in many ways to the famous Lebanese mana’eesh. When I moved to Riyadh few years ago I started to miss [...]
Living Colors

Living Colors Originally uploaded by saudi jeans. I had lunch on Saturday at Living Colors of Faisaliah Mall. Like Fahad, I had the Chicken Panini with Balsamic and it was good; not great, but good. Better than the food was the design and the colors of the place and packaging. Living Colors have another branch [...]

A few of my favorite things ;p Originally uploaded by noora. … is absolutely one of my favourite places in Riyadh. A stylish juice bar and cafe, located on Tahlia St. (aka Prince Mohammed Bin Abdul-Aziz St.). They also have branches in Bahrain and Kuwait, and I read that they will be opening in Jordan [...]
The National Museum

Few months ago, I asked what SBG described as a mind-provoking question. Well, my point of that post was not just to provoke minds. The idea of the post came after a visit to the Saudi National Museum. I have been living in Riyadh for 3 years, and I never heard and/or seen any ads [...]
Thirteen Unread Books, and Counting…
Sunday, March 26, 2006 – 5:16
This post is inspired by Roba, who’s been on fire lately with some really fine blogging in the past few days I love reading, but pharmacy is a bitch. No matter how hard I try, I always find myself with a long reading list that I want to go through, and it is just getting [...]
Best Shawerma in Riyadh
Thursday, February 23, 2006 – 19:40
Living in Riyadh for the past three years, I can say that I have become an expert on shawerma. Actually, shawerma was not my favorite choice of fast food when I used to live in Hassa, but coming to Riyadh and going through the crap of many restaurants with high prices and bad food, I [...]
Panino’s Restaurant
Tuesday, October 25, 2005 – 7:15
For years, I used to pass by this restaurant called Panino’s in streets and shopping malls, and never been even curious just to take a quick look at what they make. Recently, they opened a new branch on Thalatheen St. (aka Prince Sultan bin Abdul-Aziz St.) in Olaya. During one of our hangouts, my roommate [...]
