Obai & Hill Corporate Offsite 2013
We were honored to be hosted by the fantastic staff at The Domain Hotel Bahrain for our first corporate offsite this year.
We started our day with a yoga session led by one of our account managers to rejuvenate ourselves and get a good long stretch! Second, we began discussing the projects we worked on during the year of 2013. 
We then moved to the boardroom on the 12th floor where we enjoyed a light breakfast and some coffee before getting hard to work on our company strategy for 2014.
We had 3 presentations, several brainstorming sessions, as well as a round table discussion to really get the most out of the entire team. We thoroughly enjoyed the dynamic discussion and had a chance to reflect on the past year which included discussing our shortcomings and suggesting improvements as well as celebrating our triumphs and successes.
Afterwards we headed to Le Sauvage for a decadent 3 course meal which we enjoyed in the presence of some stunning views.
And finally, our creative director held an impromptu awards ceremony where each of our team members was presented with a unique and quirky award to acknowledge their hard work and commitment to Obai & Hill in 2013.
We look forward to planning our next offsite and a wonderful year ahead!

EVENT: The Make-up Maki Launch
On Thursday, November 21, we organized an event to launch The Make-up Maki, a collaboration between Maki and The Make-up Manual. The Make-up Maki is the latest addition to Maki’s extensive menu. Maki approached Mai Almoayed, Bahrain’s very own make-up guru who is also a make-up artist. She founded The Make-up Manual and hosts professional classes to educate women about make-up and skincare. Maki approached Mai to design her own maki.
The Make-up Maki is an explosion of flavors for one’s taste buds, with ingredients that create a harmony of decadent taste. The Make-up Maki incorporates tempura prawn, avocado, rice pearl, wasabi flakes, drizzled extra virgin olive oil, topped with chopped tempura, cherry tomato, cucumber, carrots, thakwan, spring onion, and lastly, a drizzle of mango and strawberry sauce.
The concept of the maki is to portray the beauty of make-up and colorful palettes, with a surprising twist of flavorful ingredients. In addition, the vibrant maki reflects Almoayed’s lively and fun personality, which is essential in namesake dishes.
Visit Maki at World Trade Center to try The Make-up Maki – which is not only visually beautiful, but will excite your taste buds!
Below are images of the dinner where The Make-up Maki was carefully selected, the kitchen rolling of the maki, and the private event:
