Every time I visited Boulevard I would always stop by Masquerade to see what was the latest costume theme they has going on. I went to Boulevard recently and saw the shop closed down. I think they have another location but this one was always a fun one to stop by.
You can find out more about their remaining location on their IG.
I visited Sharq Mall for some pictures before it was closed, I have a lot of memories. Marina and Sharq mall were the place to be when I moved to Kuwait in 2004. I remember trying to find parking on the weekends which was nearly impossible. Walking along the seaside, enjoying the many events held there, what a time to be alive! There used to be a tiny shop there selling cassette tapes, we picked up a few of them back then.
This is an old entertainment place for kids; I know about it because my classic car garage was in front of it. I used to see schools and nurseries bring busloads of kids to hang out there. As time went on and shops began to close in the Awqaf complex I knew it was only a matter of time before it too closed.
As everyone knows, Matcha has become the new craze in Kuwait. Men, women, old and young alike are gathering at this new spot in Abu Halifa. It's a cute, green shop serving matcha drinks and related desserts. There are so many mixes to try, we got the regular matcha and recently my daughter tried the salted banana matcha but you couldn't taste any matcha.
