Ramadan Tidbits

We have reached to the very end of this blessed month, may Allah accept our fasting, prayers, and good deeds insha'allah. 

I haven't been very active in taking photos during this month. So this is a very short post sharing with you guys few of what's left of my Ramadan photos... =p

This is my first homey long jalabeeya that I am soo in love with... Sweet Samboosa anyone? =p

I just love this lovely elegant jalabeeya worn by my beautiful cousin Aysha... <3 

This is what I recently been eating for my suhoor; coco pops and some old school chips!! =p

Ghabga Night at Bushra

This weekend, me and my girls went to Bushido restaurant to check out their Ramadan experience that's called Bushra at Bushido. The whole restaurant was totally transformed into this beautiful Arabian theme and atmosphere. 

We had such an amazing time with lots of laughter. Here are some quick photos taken that day...

The lovely sweet waiters...

Ramadan Tidbits

These are few photos taken last week when my mom came back to Bahrain for a little visit. There is nothing more heartwarming than spending the special month of Ramadan with your loved ones...

I love everything in this picture; my mom's soft hand, the Arabic coffee (Gahwa), and the Yummy Luqaimat

Happy Thursday!!

Cafe Lilou Ramadan Gift

Yesterday, Cafe Lilou sent me a huge lovely basket filled with lots of Ramadan goodies called "Le Panier Ramadan". 

They knocked on our door exactly 30 minutes before the maghrib prayer time, and it was this lovely big brown basket beautifully wrapped and a cute postcard on it. Me and my husband were soo excited to open it and see what's inside! And my oh my, the lovely basket, what's in the basket, and the lovely smell drove us insane. It was soo tempting, we wanted to taste everything but we couldn't, we had to wait till after iftar time. 

Inside the beautiful basket was; dried fruits, nuts and dried fruit loaf, mixed sweetened nuts, date swirl, and two cute jars of confiture (Raspberry and blueberry)...

The basket was beautifully wrapped with a cute postcard with my name and my blog's name on it. 

It was filled with so many yummy things, nicely gathered and presented

Raspberry and Blueberry confiture

My favorite; Date swirl with sesame.

This is what I fell in love with the most; nuts and dried fruits loaf that goes perfectly well with a warm cup of tea,,, *Heartwarming* <3

To order "Le Panier Ramadan" or for any other inquiries, you can call them on 00973 66345550, or visit their Facebook page (Here).

Thank you soo much Cafe Lilou for the generous Ramadan Gift, it really made our day!!! =D

Saffron by Jena 2

Yesterday me and my dear friends went to have Suhoor at the second branch of Saffron by Jena; Saffron 2. It is also located in Muharraq, not far from Saffron 1. The place is more spacious than the first one, with a mix feel of traditional and contemporary atmosphere. 

There was a set menu at the time we arrived, so they served us with various Bahraini traditional food. Everything was nicely presented, the food and flavors were impeccable, and the service was wonderful. 

The lovely alleys that leads to Saffron. I couldn't take proper pictures, due to our lovely humid weather, LOL...

Small shots of Laban before we start our feast...

Assorted yummy Suhoor...

Lots and lots of sweet for our dessert...

And before we leave the place, the waiter served us with small shots of refreshing rose drinks and sprinkles of rose water at the door...

Qura'an Bookmarks

Few weeks ago, I saw this interesting blog post from our dear blogger Bahrainipreneur about a young Bahraini graphic designer Hind Al-Ayadhy that designs beautiful Qura'an bookmarks. 

There are a variety of 12 pretty colors, and each bookmark costs BD 1.5. Behind this idea is a thoughtful cause; all the proceeds will be donated to the social campaign known as the (Child's Wish) to provide kids with Eid's new clothings and needs.

My order =D
