KUWAIT BUCKET LIST: Eat arabic food at Mubarakiya with the locals

Mubarakiya is a known wet market in Kuwait City. Flocked by locals who are majority buyers of this place. If you want to immerse to the local culture, then this is the perfect place.

Though Mubarakiya is a know place for buying goods, my wish upon going here today is different. It is to experience eating authentic arabic food in the most genuine/local place to be.

When I passed by Mubarakiya food center weeks ago, I know that fulfilling this item in my bucket list can only be done here. It's the preserved culture which is fortifying the pillars of this place that made this market still at its genuine state. If I want to see what life was here in Kuwait, I am sure this is a great gist of it.

It's obvious in my proceeding photos the happiness I projected on that day. Here are some of the snaps of the food and place. Take a peek.

Monthly Grocery Shopping and Budgeting

This one will surely sound a bit unnatural for most people, but what can I do since I am living in the
middle east? Roaming around here doing groceries weekly is not really a practice. And besides, paychecks
are given monthly which means that money here needs a month-long stretch of budgeting.

After months of wise money handling I realized that it is easier if all the bills are settled at the first week after salary. I always remember what my mom taught me as the basic principle of success in money matters (Salary - Savings and Investments = Expenses). But honestly, I kind of tweaked this formula a bit to (Salary - (Groceries + Responsibilities + Savings and Investments) = Savings and Expenses) <Apply MDAS rule here>

After posting this one, my mom messaged me in facebook to do juicing ASAP.
