Friday's Feature : Amna Hakim photography



Salaam !

I don't know about you but I'm a huge fan about photography ! I , myself like to take many photos of me and my life , but I have a wide range of favourite photographers, most of them located in Canada .

It's been about 2 years since I discovered Aamna Hakim Photography and I must admit it's absolutely wonderful . Aamna captures intense moments beautifully , and every wedding photographed by her seems surreal !
One day , while going through her blog , I discovered that she once photographed a Moroccan wedding ! I fell in love with the pictures , as nobody ever before photographied a moroccan wedding in such way . The pictures speak for themselves , and anyone watching them is blown away by the beauty of both the photography and the magnificent moroccan traditions .

Strawberry Smoothie & Marinated Chicken

Salaam you all !
I'm passionate about food ! and who isn't , you must say ?
No seriously , I truly am . I'm though the type of people who pay attention to their eating habits , and - yes I will admit it - pretend sometimes ( maybe more than sometimes ) to be on a diet , but I love food ! I would say that my favourite range would be desserts and sweet dishes , this would be perfectly explained by my baking hobby , but recently I discovered that I am a fan of spiced dishes and a chicken-addict .

Now that my exams are over , I've been trying on many dishes , and I found out that indeed my city has a wide range of wonderful tasty restaurants !

The other day ( last day of exams ) apperead to be also the birthday of a dear friend and neighbour , so we went to the mall to have a nice chat and "have" something . It was arounf 10.20am , and we were in between breakfast and lunch , so what we were looking for was something light yet delicious . We went for "Amareno" which is a type of  a bakery , where from I uselly take ice cream . Their ice cream is one of the best in the city , very smooth and the flavour is slice but present . However, this time I decided I'd for something else , as we weren't in the mood of ice cream . I took the Strawberry smoothie menu which consists of a strawberry milk shake and a strawberry/blue berry cake . It was AWESOME ! my friends went for the caramel and the chocolate menu , which was delicious as well , but the strawberry smoothie was succulent and perfect !




The second dish that I loved this month was the Marinated Chicken , also from the mall ( I don't recall the restaurant's name though ) . This was actually adviced to us by two friends . We had some work with the organization , and we went for our lunch break to the mall . Usually , for lunch in the mall , we go straight to the food court , but this time my 2 friends adviced us to taste the marinated chicken . Eventually we were added to them on the list of addicted people to the marinated chicken ! 
As a big fan of chicken I just fell in love with this dish ! This dish made of a shwarma of chicken with cheese , along with salad and barbecue chips , has a spiced arabian flavour and is served along with a white sauce , kind of mayonnaise with other ingredients I wasn't able to define ! After seeing the dish and it price , I was litteraly Chocked ! such dish in such a restaurant at a cheap price makes it the ideal one for whatever occasion ! 


Now I'm eager to discover more dishes in my city ! 
Have a nice day everyone !
