Yes, they’re fried and then dipped in a sugar syrup of some sort. Kuwait City doesn’t seem to have much to attract tourists, but I was charmed by the souk area and how everyone was just going about their business rather than bothering with us.

I was reminded of my recent trip to Jordan and my adventures there. Thank you for an excellent post!!

I love that part of the world, with the colour, the food and the friendliness. I had a similar experience to yours in a back street cafe in Al Ain, UAE, where the locals made their welcome clear with gestures and smiles.

Haha! It wasn’t on my want to visit list either. I just agreed to go there to lead the workshop.
