Before I start.. let's play the guessing game with a dish Mariam made for us..Can anyone guess what's under here? If you attended the dinner, shhhhhh!
It's time again to visit a great chefs kitchen. Today we have the pleasure of writing about Mariam al Sabah, one of Kuwait's little hidden gems! A chef by training, but only shows of her cooking skills to friends and family!
Sorry dear readers if we get you salivating in this post, unfortunately Mariam's delights are not to be found except in her house!
Let' get started with our adventure in the land of Seafood! Mariam cooked us a feast of seafood brought in fresh from around the world, the best fish Kuwait had to offer.. And the best part of the night was that we were surrounded by the sea!
Enough writing.. and on with the pictures..
Check out how cool our table setting was.. Mariam brought the sea to us! With newspapers covers, bamboo stitched water glass holder, and shells all over, no electricity besides the moonlight and candles. This surly was a table to remember!!
The location we were at was far from a restroom, so our kind host came up with a brilliant idea to keep us clean and seafood stench free. Using a barrel filled with water and liquid soap, we had all that we needed!
Our beautiful lighting around the area!
I think when you have great food, you really only need one great salad filled with greens to blend well with all your dishes.. and off course Mariam being the true chef she is, gave us the perfect salad that mixed well with whatever you ate!
Fresh calamari
I think this was the highlight of the night: Salmon cooked in newspapers.
Now it may looked burnt to you, but that is just the newspaper. Once you cut in to the fish we got the most unbelievably soft buttery cooked salmon I have ever had. I apologize for not taking a before and after picture but I was busy eating! Actually your lucky that I took any pictures...
I'm sure you all know this one: Lobster spaghetti! At one point of the dinner, I actually saw people fighting over the lobster meat! (I don't blame them)!
What a night, what a night what a night! A few people (no names mentioned) had to loosen there pants after the dinner! A perfect dinner, with the greatest of friends, and a new seafood theame dinner, and one of the best chefs we have..
What else could I ask for? Uuuuh..maybe getting invited more often :)

I had the honor of attending her dinners before and she makes the most sublime mussels steamed in their natural juices and some added ones, wink wink. As well as the perfect steak dinner with pure fresh steaks flown in from New York with the crunchiest green salad with tangy french dressing. Well done sharing her talents to all your readers Munch team! She deserves the recognition.
We were very lucky.. but I think you have been more lucky beacause you got invited more often:p
shwagtooni wish I was there.
