Lunch today

Strawberry Sorbet 80 calories!

Day one has passed, and so far it's not so bad.. Actually it's great to eat so light! You know that feeling of wanting to nap after Lunch?
Well it doesn't exists here... They have you eating food that is so raw and natural, your body is screaming for more! (I'm not joking)

Above is an average plate of a little bit of everything.. Basically you have a buffet.. and you can pick and choose as you like while figuring out your calorie count..

So my salad above is a mixed option of green leaves, tabbouleh, and beef salad.. about 390 calories..

The highlight of the lunch: Cucumber vinaigrette as a salad dressing.. unbelievable.. (Stay tuned till I find out how they make it)

Let's get started!

It's about 3pm, just finished my lunch, and fixed my schedule and went up to my room to discover these exotic fruits.

Trick number one: All snacks should be healthy (if you can't resist.. they have a mini bar hooked up with low calorie cookies and nutrient bars)

Load your self up with some fruits the next time the cravings kick in!!

If I can sneak my camera in to dinner, I'll show you what we will be having!

Attempting to blog from my new computer!

As I told you all earlier.. I'm on my way to Thailand...so I just had to do a quick system check on my new computer and camera and to make sure it all connects to Picasa then Blogger..
Makes life 10 times easier..

Anyway I'm set..this was a test post, and at the same time a new vegi pizza that is now offered on the menu.. The pesto goat cheese and char grilled peppers pizza... Enjoy!

Another one joins the group!

We just launched another pizza yesterday!
The sweet and Savory pizza!
Our secret sweet sauce with only the finest Buffalo Mozzarella, topped of with a balsamic glaze!
Enjoy

Get fit!

This is what I wake up 2!

Breakfast area!

Dear Readers... I'm on my way to a health spa this weekend! New years resolution 2010 Get Fit! (Finally)

After serious consideration about wether I should blog this or not, Jassim my partner said go for it.. since it is a food experience it self!

So I will be taking you along in my journey in Thailand, and what we eat and cook to get healthy.
This is my second trip to this piece of heaven in earth, and the last time I went, I ended up learning a lot about their life styles and form of cooking.

A few of the MUNCH salad roll recipes, and BBQ healthy dishes are inspired by them! And this is what I plan to do... learn a few more tricks to cooking healthy and applying in to our new restaurant menu that will be changed very soon. (Shhhh, we will launch a healthy section)

So assuming that I will be able to connect to the Internet.. for the next two weeks I will be sharing with you my day to day plan of food intake and cooking classes in Thailand.

And off course I will just be posting some of the beautiful sights that I see...

Count down: 5 days left!

Im on my way to a health spa!

This is your typical average meal that is recommended!
A tofu Avocado salad wrap with a small side salad and some exotic fruits!

I'm sure you are thinking.. Huh where is the rest?
But that's all you get!

Our staff in action

These are a few pictures I shot over the weekend of the Munch staff in action.

Thank god we were blessed with such beautiful weather this weekend! Is it me or did we just skip winter this year? I'm not complaining. This weather is heaven to me! And just perfect for the BBQ counter!

Enjoy it while it lasts!

Yes you heard it first!

Drum rolls please: Introducing the Peking duck roll on the BBQ.

Im sure your all a fan of peking duck!

Now you got to try it on the BBQ. So make sure to order it the next time we come to BBQ at your home:)

Yes we are growing!

Our new year resolution for 2010 is to be able to start small catering to groups of 50 and less!

And there is no better way to start it then on 31/12/2009.

Above are some pictures of one of our small caterings that we can now offer..we have a limited amount of main dishes, but they are growing, as we are growing with our catering end:)

Stay tuned for all our hot dishes and new items that you will be able to order soon from Munch!

Trying out the pasta again!

Pumpkin and sage filling

The mold to make the square shaped tortellini!

Spinach mixed with the flour to make the pasta green!


Dear Readers,

We are still in the testing phase of making the pasta.. so once we get it 100% up to my satisfaction, then only will we be launching our restaurant made new pastas to go along with our new menu!

What's your favorite item on our current menu?

Experementing!

I'm trying out new recipes on the BBQ... and this one was great.

Have you heard of a cheese called shavings of a monks head?
Well it's a very creamy light cheese, and I decided to try it out on the pizza instead, with just some mushrooms and a little bit of garlic and olive oil...

Oh my God it was good!

I'm not sure if it something we can add to the menu, because the cheese is a very expensive to use so freely.. But if your at home and in the mood to try new things... I highly recommend trying this!!

You can find this cheese at Dean and Deluca, it's a round long block!
Enjoy!

Happy New Year Kuwait!

The Chunky Vegetarian Pizza

The Spanish Pizza

I just drool when I look at this picture!

Spicy Spanish sausage with Manchego cheese, and a onion marmalade jam!

The turkey menu

Yesterday I was lucky to be invited to a Christmas dinner who had ordered from Munch.. (So excited)

I really loved the way the table was set up and the presentation, and since my camera is always in my bag, I jumped to the opportunity to take a few shots!

:)

Merry Christmas all!

Help yourself to one of our gently marinated Wagu tenderlion bites.... Hey hey hey.. I said just one!

A closer look of Feilds o Mushroom pizza

This Pizza is starting to become a favorite of mine.. But beware, it was a roasted garlic paste tucked away under all those mushroom..

Load and loads of Portebello, brown and white Mushrooms combined with Camembert and Asiago cheese. A true winner!

Enjoy!

A close up of the Tandoori chicken Pizza

As you can see, this is not your typical pizza...

Instead of a tomato sauce, we got a yummy mango chutney going on the base, and topped with chunks of Tandoori chicken and crunchy white onions and some cooling mint..
