The french onion soup at Duo

duo abc

French onion soup is one of the upsides of winter for me. Most restaurants here serve it in regular soup bowls along with croutons, while few other serve it in bread bowl after scooping out the inside of it, and one of these restaurants is Duo (Downtown, Verdun, ABC Ashrafieh, and ABC Dbayeh).

I recently had Duo’s onion soup and found it pretty good. It was thick enough to my taste with the right amount of cheese on top of it, and the portion is relatively big and completely fulfilling. Totally recommended even though it’s a bit overpriced at 15,500L.L but worth the money.

Duo by the way is also quite famous for their rich salad bar priced at 22,000L.L.

May Hariri VS. MTV Lebanon

Regardless if what she’s saying is true or not, one thing is for sure, it’s fun when “stars” get upset! Let’s hope it will not become a trend for every contestant in Dancing With The Stars to make a fuss out of being eliminated in the upcoming episodes!

Dispute with Ziad Rahabni at Event Hill

I actually heard a lot of people complaining about Ziad Rahbani’s latest concert since it was poorly managed and because they were expecting him to perform more of his old repertoire.

While I agree Ziad should be blamed for probably not following up enough with the event managers, people really can’t complain about the stuff he played since the concert program was made available when tickets were still on sale and it was clear it will include a lot of jazz!

Ukranian woman strips naked in Beirut airport

Ukranian woman in Beirut airport

As per Al-Jadeed, A Ukranian woman was arrested at Beirut airport today after she stripped naked in protest against the smoking ban!

If only our people protested this way instead of burning tires and blocking roads!

Update:

I just read in The Daily Star that some source in the airport claimed this lady was actually protesting  the General Security’s decision to expel her from the country because her residency papers had expired. You can check the article here.
