A Guide To F&B In Kuwait
Kuwait is situated in a section of one of the driest, least-hospitable deserts on Earth. Its shore, however, includes Kuwait Bay, a deep harbour on the Persian Gulf. There, in the 18th century, Bedouin from the interior founded a trading post.
The name Kuwait is derived from the Arabic diminutive of the Hindustani kut (fort). Since the emirate’s ruling family, the Al Sabah, formally established a sheikhdom in 1756, the country’s fortunes have been linked to foreign commerce. In time and with accumulated wealth, the small fort grew to become Kuwait city, a modern metropolis mingling skyscrapers, apartment buildings, and mosques.
Kuwait city has most of the country’s population, which makes Kuwait one of the world’s most-urbanized countries.
At the heart of traditional Kuwaiti culture is the institution of the diwaniyyah, a regular gathering of men usually in a tent or a separate room of the main house, which serves as a time to gather, enjoy refreshments, talk, or play games.
Kuwaitis observe all major Islamic holidays, including Ramadan and the two Eid’s, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. The country’s Independence Day and Liberation Day (from the Iraqi occupation of 1990–91) are important secular holidays.
Ful, falafel, and hummus are the cornerstones of Kuwaiti cuisine, though Western fast-food restaurants abound in Kuwait city. Ful is a paste based on fava beans, with garlic and lemon added. Formed from fried balls of chickpeas and spices, falafel is often served in unleavened bread with vegetables. Chickpeas are also used to make hummus, a dip for vegetables and bread. The traditional Kuwaiti meal consists of spiced rice topped with meat or fish or shellfish taken from the Persian Gulf.
Amongst the Western brands that are present in Kuwait, Laduree is one of the famous French cuisines that is popular with the expat and local population.
Laduree is famous for its macarons. A macaron (pronounced mack-a-ROHN) is a confection made up of two round, flat, almond-flour-based cookies sandwiching an emulsified filling like ganache or jam. Any variation in color or flavor is simply a variation in the filling, plus some food coloring added to the shells.A macaron is in every way more visual appealing than the cupcake. It’s the successor to the cupcake as the dessert for weddings, bridal gatherings, baby showers, and other such festive occasions. A single-bite delicacy made of pure ecstasy!
In Paris, the Ladurée chain of pastry shops has been known for its macarons for about 150 years. Ladurée is a veritable celebration of sweets and pastry innovation. Every moment of creation is an intense experience.
Ladurée has a wide range of unique seasonal and classic macaron flavors. Always gluten-free and always delicious. The Ladurée vault contains over 100 secret recipes with various flavor combinations tested to perfection. The Laduréemacaron is often called “the supermodel of the food industry”, chic, timeless, and beautiful.
