Lobster Lake Restaurant: Lake of Death
Me and my friend, Abdullah, never went to a Chinese restaurant together, since most of what he likes is usually junk food places or sandwiches at the garages in Shuwaikh LOL. So, I decided yesterday to impress my good friend and take him to Lobster Lake Restaurant, which is located at Ras Al-Salimya, exactly at the Traffic light of the cross-section. I’ve went there maybe 3 times already and it was good, well good enough to fill the empty space that Little Dragon left behind when it sold out. So, to maintain the pact between me and Chinese food and since I did crave Chinese last night, we rushed through the typical Salmiya traffic around 2030 PM to Lobster Lake. To those who aren’t familiar with it, it used to be called Chinese Lake or Swan Lake or whatever, but they changed a while ago for no apparent reason.
The parking there is very very limited (hardly two cars can fit) and to get out you have to wrestle your way backing out through the incoming traffic, so it’s kinda of a hassle to get in and get out. The place is very small (two private cabinets, and around 4 small tables) and the A/C wasn’t working well and it was humid. Last night I found out that they actually have a bathroom!! They have a small radio player and it wasn’t on last night for no apparent reason so the environment was pretty stand still. When I asked to be seated in the private cabinet I was told that it was for families. I got pissed since I’ve always sat in the cabinet for the last 3 times I’ve been there with my friends. All of that makes them lost two full points.
Me and my buddy ordered:
-
Mixed Seafood fried rice (stiff, dry and tasteless).
-
Lobster Lake Deep fried Prawns Special (Huge stiff prawns deep fried in the thickest flour coating that made me feel like eating pieces of dry wood).
-
Fried Calamari (chewy, yet no spices added to change the fishy smell).
-
Two orders of Hot and Sour Soup (the only good thing there, and when I added a little soy sauce, it turned into a biohazard mix that you don’t want to know what it tasted it like afterwards).
-
Two Pepsi (served warm even with ice in the cups, just to let you know what kind of shitheads they are).
What more can I say? the total came out to KD 9.500! talk about major bullshit. I Feel good now since I left an awful restaurant behind my back and moving on to find a better one. When you get Indians cooking in Chinese restaurants, you usually get the typical trashy food you deserve. Two weeks ago, my wife was telling me about how her uncle was recommending this place to her (Like I don’t know about Chinese restaurants!) and I told her it was okay. When she asked me last night about it, I told her that I’d rather eat a dog than eat there again. Not worth the trip nor the time, and recommend it to taste-blinds.
Review: Hades Project Zeorymer
Although I’ve watched this OVA very late, I have to admit that this is one ass-kicking robot anime that has no match yet. Zeorymer is very underrated because of the gloomy and dark story it contains. According to Wikipedia, the OVA is a a pretty cleaned version of the violent and adult comic it was based on to gain a bigger fan base. Unfortunately, the budget isn’t as big as you think so don’t expect HD animation, but it holds out just fine. The music is pretty cool, though there is no ending theme, credits play out at the beginning of each part. The OVA consists of four parts, each is around 25 minutes. To tell the truth, I’ve met many that told me that Evangelion had a pretty crazy storyline. I can counter their opinion since Zeorymer by far beats all robot shows in having the darkest and most twisted storyline. And yes, it keeps up with Ideon , Victory Gundam and Zeta Gundam’s death counts. As far as the storyline, it’s so fucked up that it made me admire the creator for making by far the worst anti-hero main character who kills in cold blood. After watching Masato in the 4th part, you’d think that Devilman Amon is piloting Zeorymer.
All of what I’ve mentioned made this show currently my favorite super robot show. It’s totally awesome when it’s left out by the stupid American Gundam Wingers, we just don’t need them.
I give it all my thumps!!
Angel of Loneliness
Priss Asagiri from the original BubbleGum Crisis OVA’s was my anime idol back in the day. Everybody fell in love with Priss from the first sight. She was lonely, so we became lonely for her. She was tough, so we became tougher for her. She had a fiery temper, so we let loose of our rage. Priss was everything we wanted in a bad girl to steal away our hearts. Besides being a biker and a Rock’n'Roll singer, Priss was an ass-kicking crime-fighting angel. I know that Animego is re-releasing BGC DVD boxset in a remastered version, which is appreciated. I hope that they include extra stuff to make the boxset worth the money since I personally own the first version of the DVD boxset when it first came out mid 2001. Watching those OVA’s again will make forget the horror that I went through when I watched the awful BGC 2040, which should be erased from the archives of human multimedia forever. Let’s sit back and watch our princess kick ass!!
Priss, this is my tribute to you, my angel of loneliness. I will never forget you.
Down The Toilet: Jerry Falwell
On May 15th, the famous global toilet made a huge echoing sound, indicating that a big dumb was being flushed down. Officials at NASA reported that they identified the dumb as Jerry Falwell, who died and was on his way down to Hell. Major manufacturers of cleaning products volunteered to clean the mess Falwell’s carcass made while being flushed down.
Kabab-Ji: Awful food for Awful price
Till yesterday I’ve been hearing stories about horrible prices for small quantities of low quality food from Kabab-Ji. I never heard anyone praising this restaurant. It’s meant to be like a fast food type of restaurant. I don’t want to presume that Kabab-Ji is Saudi-owned, but even if it isn’t, then it has gone down to that level. Amazingly, the Saudis still compete to make each day a new fast food chain which specializes in serving bad food (Does Al-6azij and Kudo ring any bell?). My lady surprised me last night with an order from Kabab-Ji of:-
7alabi kabab (very small and very normal).
-
3arais (made spicy for no reason).
-
One chicken sandwich (plain, just chicken and garlic!).
-
Two salads full of acidic lemon and meant to be Fatoosh.
-
Stale and cold french fries .
-
They forgot to put in bread, the bastards!
-
6 KD!!! You gotta be kidding me!!
Last time I ordered a meal for two from Qaser Al-Na’7eel was around 5 KD and Qaser Al-Na’7eel has the best Lebanese food ever here in Kuwait, no contest. So keep ordering from Kabab-Ji till you grow a brain in that hollow skull of yours and I promise I won’t eat from there again.
