Hungry for some steak?

Try our wagu steaks the net time you order the Munch BBQ counter.. fresh off the flame!

Tuna in Japan

A friend of Munch was kind enough to send us these pictures from Japan. Apparently all the best tuna is from there.. which would make sence since they consume so much Sushi.


Take a look at how fresh it is and the colour..pink..beautiful. You can actually see the marbeling of the fat. This must be the belly!

To get tuna so fresh, you have to be up at 5 am and at the fish market and ready to bid for your fish! Look at the size of them!

A experiance not to be missed.. if your ever in Japan and a tuna lover, make sure to swing by the fish market and get yourself a nice big fatty fish!

500 Posts for the Munch blog!

As this is our 500th post, I though it should be a funny one:

Coffee, chocolate and men, some things only get better rich!

Help yourself..

Good Morning.. is today a Burger day for you? If it is, then make sure it's a Kobe burger day:)

More ribs please!

Just in case you missed it first time round: Don't forget, we have just added ribs on the BBQ menu!

It ain't a BBQ unless you got some chicken and ribs on the grill!

Who want's some BBQ crabs..

Dear friends, I apologize for the past few days of no posting, as I was feeling under the weather.. But I'm back and ready to tease you with our mouthwatering pictures. As we are experimenting with new recipes on the BBQ, we want to venture out more in to the seafood world, so we attempted a BBQ crab dish.

I asked the chef to add 10 Thai red chillies seeded to the marination.. But what did he hear? 10 Thai red chillies steamed! So imagine my surprise when we had our test audience over and I said to them, no don't worry it's not to spicy!

Ooo la laaaaaaaaaaa! Our mouths where on fire!! Not enough water to cool it down.. someone said "drink milk" and I was thinking, milk and crabs ..eeew!

Long story short.. they were delicious, but extra spicy! (maybe that is why I was feeling under the weather for so long)!

Eat well!

Testing..

As we continue to test new recipes, I wanted to share a beautiful and colorful looking salad with you. It's NOT on the menu, we are just trying it out.. But basically it's Parmesan wafers, figs, cherries, mixed lettuce and a Berri cream sauce.

Working on it!

As the weather is unbearable and the all I can think of is new recipes for the soon to come 2nd branch to Munch, I find myself in the kitchen frequently!

So this past week I have been trying to perfect this brownie..now any one can make brownies, but my challenge is to make it without butter.. So far I'm heading in the right track. I think I need a few more goes at it before it's the perfect cholesterol friendly brownie:)

Ribs, ribs, and more Ribs.

I wanted to make sure before releasing them to the menu that we had perfected them. Now as of yesterday I am proud to say that you an now order the most delicious BBQ ribs from the Munch catering menu.

Make sure to order at least 1 day in advance, because it takes about 3 hours to get them cooked in the oven before hitting the flame!

Chips and dips!

Our wonderfully colored vegetable root chips bring life to any gathering. Each bowl comes with a dip..

Left: Guacamole, Mango salsa guacamole, Pomegranate chili guacamole and creamy avocado!

The world champions for a day!

A few years back a team of Kuwait's finest fishers went and competed in the Mauritius fishing world cup. Dr. Hilal al Sayer, Jameel Sultan, Fawzi Sultan and Tareq al Salem were the world champions by catchings a 550 lbs Blue Marlin on 19/02/2006.

Having won the tournament on the second day, they decided to take the third day off. To their luck the same boat they were on was rented out to another country and guess what... they caught a bigger fish!

So Kuwait had the title of the world champions for one day, and lost it the second day to a fish 10lbs larger.

Moral of this story: Never take a day off!

Caramelized Onions

Most people are not fans of onions, but when you give them a choice of caramelized onions they never say no! The sweet crunchy flavors that a caramelized onion can add to a burger is what makes it a winning burger!

Bacon and Maple syrup lollipop

I doubt that I would be wrong if I said America is a bacon loving nation! They add bacon with everything: breakfast, salads, main courses, and even dessert! Look at what they came up with now: To make sure you get your fix of Bacon on the run, get it on a lollipop now!

Read it out loud

I saw this on Ziad's face book, and it cracked me up. A little restaurant in London.. read the name out load. I can't believe they did not see this coming:)

Yay or Nay?

Does this tempt you? What do you think? Does the redness look safe to eat? or to much food coloring?

Your thoughts please..

Portebello Truffle burger.

Have you tried our Portebello truffle burger? If you love the flavors of mushrooms and truffles, then this burger is calling your name.
Now on the delivery menu also.

Call 22322747 to order.

Cherries

Only in Lebanon can you eat a cherry so juicy that it explodes with juice! Fahad loves his cherries..which means that he change his t-shirts quite often through out the day!

Guessing game!

Now I am posting the answer, since no one knew what it was.
It's called Callu de Cabrettu, and if you look at the shape of it, it looks like a goat's breast. Before the goat is killed, her breast is removed full of milk, and allowed to mature in the breast!!
So would you try it?

Who can tell me what this is? If you answer correctly, we will give you a 10% gift voucher from Munch..

Good Luck!

TSC Signature Beirut

Want to buy some red chili on a tree?

Want some great cheeses?

Mussels?

Lobster? then head to TSC in Beirut

For the longest time I have been hearing about the new Sultan Center that opened in Solider Beirut, so as part of my homework, I had to pass by! I am not sure where to begin!! This is nothing compared to what we have in Kuwait. This was a high end gourmet super market.

Honestly guys, this puts Dean and Deluca to shame! And to know that it is a Kuwaiti concept makes me smile a little harder!

Pasta stands with ever single kind of pasta and colour you could think off!

Look at how spacious the aisles are...

And even more Pasta! I ended up buying some of the fun stripped ones for the kids and they loved them so much! Might have to go back soon for some more!

If you are in town, make sure to stop by and check it out! You won't regret it!

Try this next time!

What a great idea.. saw this at a friends BBQ when we were in Lebanon.. next time you have a fire going.. throw on a few garlics to help keep you healthy.. your body will thank you for it!
