LoFat Restraurant review.
As you all know, I have become somewhat of a health nut with dieting/excercise and all. Actually, you probably don’t know but lets pretend you know that I am for the sake of this post. Anyway, Mark posted his review earlier today; figured I would do the same as I also had a chance to try their food. I went with the Chicken Tortilla wrap; unfried fries; brownies and cookies.
The Chicken Tortilla wrap was quite good .. very reminiscent of a good saj sandwhich just without the calories (and accompying guilt). The portion and price was quite good .. it is roughly the same as two saj rolls cut in halves. The unfried fries were also tasty; albiet somewhat soggy (I blame that one my hour drive from Sha’ab to the Diwaniya). It actually felt good eating the last of the fries and not counting the amount of laps it would take to make up for them.
Now .. the deserts .. these are so good they belong in their own post. I had to fend off the whordes of men to get a sampling of the brownies and cookes. The brownies were unbelievable!! I tried a couple jars of chewy goowy and i found their choclate chip cookies amazing .. I think I have finally found a replacement (and lo-fat) as chewy goowy made my laps on the treadmill only that much longer.
Also, the menu states that they can:
Feel free to play with the menu and customize your own meal; you can turn a salad into a sandwhich or a sandwhich into a salad. All our sandwhiches can be made carb-free (wrapped in lettuce) or inside out (only the inside contents) or with wheat-free bread.
Might have to take them up on the offer and create my own sandwhich .. lets see if we can get the K.TheKuwaiti meal on the menu (Purg isn’t the only person that can get stuff added to the menu, Edo pride or not). All in all, I was very satisfied with the food .. before trying out lo-fat I was limited to Casper & Gambini’s and their very limited low-cal sandwhiches (three the last time I counted; two of which taste like salted cardboard).
Going to try the Grilled Chicken Sandwhich tonight; Mark told me it was the best thing he had. I am actually contemplating ordering a stack of Brownies for the office .. then again, something to look forward to after the gym (and not plan the next visit right afterwards).
They offer delivery: 7666733
Scanned menu can be found on my flickr page or 2:48am [The B-Sides]
I can’t eat until tomorrow!
Why not!?
:////////
still didnt buy jam.. and thanks for u know wat
Your never going to get Jam .. and your welcome.
ok, first mark did the 1-photo-a-day project, for a year, and now you are kind of doing the same with your unecessary amount of photo posting.
then mark goes and does restaurant reviews, and now again, you are copying him.
stop it! it is annoying and makes u look like a wannabe.
do something original! for once!
nicola.. what are u doing with ur life that’s so special that u have the time to check up on Mark and K.. speaks volumes..
how about u use all your smart-ass powers and do something creative yourself
Ciao Bella
* you mess with K, u mess with me so dont even think of saying its none of my business
Nicola:
Thanks; but your opinion means as much to me as the level of sugar they use in cambodian ketchup.
Beyond Q8iya:
: *
Nicola: Cambodian Ketchup has very litttle sugar.. but ur educated self should know
K: …
K please stop copying me or else I will have to send you a cease and desist letter. Actually fuck it, i am sending you a cease and desist letter anyway!

If I have not received an affirmative response from you in 5 minutes indicating that you have fully complied with these requirements, I shall take further action against you.
Very truly yours,

I doubt its really lofat, anything that tastes good must have something negative in it, just like ultra light cigs, so beware.
2moros lunch is from lofat :d
hmm. BQ’s got the hots for K…
Nicola: im sitting next to him right now.. jealous?
hmmm no. not really. im not into copycats. but, i do think it’s sweet of you to stand up for K. I suppose he needs you to.
well he’s a classy gentleman who wouldn’t stoop.. so i took the liberty
ohh, so he lets you do the stooping for him.
what a (classy) gentleman…
since when did you start hitting the gym?!
hahahahahahaha!
ok, first of all, nobody has copyrights to the ‘concept’ of restaurant reviews or the displaying of photos! Content, yes; Concept, no!
ALtho, Mark is a sweety so I’m sure that letter was in good fun! 
after all, no one doubts Mark’s creative powers! 
I liked ur review by the way! sounds like they got good stuff.. where is the place located?
P.S. Get a life, Nicola
nicola:
I am taken .. maybe in a next life.
Beyond Q8iya:
Love you too babe; They had apple cinammon .. didn’t want to experiment with new flavors.
Tweez:
I am more of a cardio person .. jogging and such.
Krispy Dixie:
And Mark meant well, who else would he video call. The place is in shaab, if you check the links to menu’s the last one is a map.
Next thing people will tell me I can’t have banners and categories ..
I started eating “healthy” a little over a week ago and have already started feeling a HUGE difference.. HOWEVER, should u decide to buy brownies for work, ummm, remember that I am ur colleague at work :/ and remind me to send u my address so u can send me my share!
krusty dicksy, mind yer business.
K: i wouldnt dream of coming between you and Q8, in this life or the next…
err Q8=BQ
awww.. K lets send nicola brownies from LoFat .. the new comfort food for the lonely girl
MSB:
I had some yesterday .. once again amazing! How about you order some and invite us over!
Beyond Q8iya:
Is it still ‘comfort food’ if its LoFat? Either way, great idea .. nicola you can email me your address; k@thekuwaiti.com. Me and BeyondQ8iya will try to get them there as soon as possible.
better lonely than with a “gentleman” who lets me do the stooping for him.
thanks for the offer…
yeah so anyway, tell jackie that harvey nich’s has a huge rub duckie in one of its window’s display thingies..
and forget nicola send me the brownies..

BEHAVE KIDS
should’ve called the restaurant “Lard Ass” - would be more popular amongst the local community.
investing in kuwait, multiple choice: Health Club or Cardiovascular Clinic??? ;-).
timmi timmi timmi..
Tim:
Ignorance is a bliss .. Actually, Kuwait is quite low on the ‘Statistics by Country for Obesity’; http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/o/obesity/stats-country.htm
The rising numbers of health oriented restaurants and health clubs/gym show that the country has/is shifting to a fitter society.
the11thmuse:
shortin shortin?
..oh danny boy…
the pipes the pipes are calling…
yalla Kay! post something…:)
you know i really wanted to read review and comment about lofat but the only thing i could read was K and nichola .. stop it you are annoying .. GET A LIFE !!
I went to lofat restaurant on days ago…and brought a steak sandwich and its taste like rubber and I can’t finish my whole food… And their customer service is great but the home delivery drivers are making comments against me and making jokes in front of customers…. Foods are not satisfied… I can’t believe their low fat theory… I felt subway is better than lofat in the case of fats and calorie…
