Why I like Ezdan Mall

Ezdan Mall is a new Mall near Landmark mall in Gharaffa area in Doha .It belongs to the Ezdan Groups which had built residential buildings ,compounds in Qatar .

After the Villaggio Fire I became fed up with malls .
Last summer we managed to avoid them .This year  after returning to Doha we started to visit this New Mall .And as more and more shops and facilities opened I started to like it .
Why ? Ezdan Mall at first glance is just like the other malls .HIgh-end boutiques selling clothes /supermarket /Fun Ville ,Food Court /Cafes...Somehow it is still different from the other malls .
- It is new
-It has a lots of benches /sofas /armchairs to sit down free of charge
-Turkish restaurant Mado is coming soon with traditional Turkish breakfasts and more
- At Slitti cafe kids can  make their own hot chocolate - they are served some hot milk and a cube of chocolate in a stick .They just dip this piece of chocolate into the foaming milk and watch how the chocolate melts
- At Cerutti cafe one is given an ipad to see the menu
- At Tim Horton  the doughnut is closer to our Hungarian Fank  than the ones other doughnut places in Qatar
- Fun Ville is brand new place for kids to play /it is clean and new and fun
- M& Co offers not only clothes for kids and ladies but special sizes as well  -yes they think about short people -there is petite size and they think about real people and they offer plus size as well  within one place most of their designs are  very attractive as well
-Neal's Yard Remedies offers organic essential oils !

A new cafe in Doha - cafe Ducasse .It serves light meals ,sandwiches, salads , cakes and other kinds of desserts and drinks . It is in the Museum of Islamic Art .The building itself is very special . It was designed by I. M. Pei . You arrive to the huge lobby and you find a fountain in the middle . Now the fountain is surrounded by the chic sofas chairs, and armchairs of this cafe . As you go towards the glass wall you can find more seats - it is really very romantic you can watch the sea while sipping your coffee .

It was a Savoy Cake and cottage cheese with chestnut cream that we ordered . The Savoy Cake is a vintage style French pastry and it was good with the cappuccino . The chestnut cream was some kind of thick  chestnut preserve ( like Bonne Maman) and some kind of heavy yoghurt .Ducasse might be considered  as one of the best chef in the world but I have eaten much better chestnut dessert in Hungary ,. Chestnut puree with cream - at any Hungarian cake shop you will find that  in the cities or in the rural areas . A treat that I miss so much here in Qatar .For long time I believed that it is some kind of Hungarian recipe . Recently I have found that it is an old vintage recipe  just somehow it was forgotten in other parts of the world and preserved in my country .   
 So again I learned that when about food and eating not sure at all that you find the best flavours at the top restaurants .It is all about advertising marketing . My grandma's scones and cottage cheese turnovers were far better than any bakery products that I have ever tasted .
Well that is all that I think about  those posh places . It is worth visiting the museum and it is a very special place to sit around   the service is very nice and their drinks and cakes might be delicious  ....but you might have tasted better things somewhere else ...
