The tour started off with breakfast and a welcome note by
Wafa Obaidat of Obai & Hill at Le Chocolat, where we dove into a delicious
spread of traditional Arabic breakfast, complete with Mahiawa, Balateet and
some amazing stuff (part of the new menu) which I can’t pronounce or spell. We
got an insight to what Le chocolat offers, a taste of the new items on the menu
and as always, excellent service.
Our first stop of the tour was Grands Medical, a tiny
pharmacy that stocked mainly beauty- related products, including Bioderma’s
micellar water, that made an appearance on my favorite’s video, Vichy, and a
few new brands that I got to learn about- I tried the Vichy Dercos hair mask, a
part of the goody bag from Grands and ended up loving it!
The second stop on the tour map was Bazelt Gallery and after
swooning over a pair of amazing Fendi Glasses and making a mental note of the
make(to pick it up later in the month), we visited Lifestyle Jewelry , that
stocked some amazing watches and diamond jewelry. Obviously Najla and I were
too attached to the diamonds to say goodbye, but hold on, we get more attached
to another store.
Latif Shoes was next on the list- a local brand that stocks
quality footwear, handbags and accessories. We got a quick update on the
brand’s history, before moving on to value brand F&F and Twenty Four, where
you don’t need to burn a hole in your wallet to stock on some on-trend pieces.
The store offers trendy clothing for men, women and children- complete with
accessories and footwear.
Here’s when there were some collective “oohs” and “aahs”
from the ladies- our next stop was Grimas, professional makeup products and
supplies. Grimas is a well known brand of stage make up , which is why their
makeup is of top quality and lasts long. They even stock Halloween makeup
supplies, everything you need to disguise you with a new nose or even some fake
blood. Here’s where Najla and I got even more caught up. Especially Najla,
because she was in her zone- swatching shadows and all!
All the walking around wore us out a little so we got to
chill for a bit at Segafredo, pit stop for some quality and much- needed
coffee! A quick group photo followed and we were headed to Moods, a Bahraini
home wear brand that stocks some seriously creative stuff. The store was huge
and the range they offer, even more. From oversized bean bags to cutlery and
bed linen, this store has it all under one roof. I highly recommend a visit to
Moods if you’re moving houses or simply redecorating.
Moving on, we also visited Baraka sports where along with a
full range of sports gear, you also get to check out the different foosball
tables for sale! Our final stop before moving on to food outlets was ‘My Little
World’- a creative play space for toddlers where kids can play in the various
areas designed to fit every child’s ambition.
With the tour almost to an end, we got to check out
Shawaytnah and Dig’in Pizza before finally stopping at Mado. If you follow me
on Snapchat, you guys would already know that I love the eatery. We feasted on
delicious, freshly made kunafa and Turkish tea to end the tour.
So the next time you’re in Enma mall, make sure you visit a
few of these places and don’t forget to pick up Vichy Dercos hair mask from
Grands Medical and have a taste of the food at Mado, Which I personally love!
