Iftar buffets are an overwhelming, extravagant, and often even a flamboyant affair. Buffet plates are an ugly but delicious mess. Taking pictures at buffets is a food blogger’s worst nightmare, and the dim lighting that is synonymous with Arabic themed affairs never …
While I’m super duper excited about Ramadan, I’m not too crazy about buffet lines, and sometimes want options that aren’t entirely Arabesque; which is why it was wildly refreshing to go for the Wednesday evening brunch at Intersect By Lexus the other …
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Brasserie 2.0 does the best theme nights. I was floored by their BBQ theme night, and again by their pre-Ramadan Iftar preview. The ambiance was (as always) clean, modern and simple; Ramadan elements …
Dear Readers (I’m looking at you, Baig), Sorry for the recent stretch of inactivity. I’ve been feeling quite uninspired lately, and decided it’s best to hibernate the laptop and take a break for a few days week- from blogging and tastings alike. …
A new mall has opened up right across Jumeirah Beach Hotel, and with it come glad tidings in the form of new restaurants (yay!), one of which is Ayam El Ezz –so Lebanese that you forget for a while that you’re in …
Whenever I get an invitation from The Palace Downtown, I’m fleet of foot to accept. Is it because it always feels like a bit of a royal affair, on virtue of the decor and the name of the hotel? Or is it …
Hakkasan has been on my radar for almost as long as I’ve been in Dubai- 2 years. You can insert my Asian food chant here. In my defense, (a) 2 years in Dubai feel like 2 months, (b)there are SO. MANY restaurants …
A new trend is surfacing in Dubai. The wildly extravagant Friday brunches have been around and in full swing for a while now, but the insatiable appetites of denizens and tourists alike have paved way for a more low key Saturday brunche …
If your ears/eyes aren’t already bleeding from my redundant chant of “I love Asian food”, there’s something wrong with you. Nevertheless, let me reiterate that I love Asian food, and was hence super thrilled by the invitation to review Wakame, a …
I’ve been to More Cafe more than once, and while I’ve tried many memorable things there, one thing that really stood out was the More burger. I love a good burger, and I remember being very impressed because the burger patty was …
“Stomping Grounds serves up some of the best coffee in Dubai, arguably only second to Espresso Lab and at par with The Sum of Us”. This is the almost chant I’ve been hearing since January, when Stomping Grounds officially announced it’s arrival …
I love a good burger and I’m no vegetarian so I have no reservations sinking my teeth into juicy meat sandwiched between buns every chance I get. I don’t discriminate based on size, so I’m going to include sliders in this list …
Want to know a secret (because of course secrets are meant to be broadcasted on public blogs)? I wish every single food tasting event started with a masterclass. The whole reason I became a food blogger was because my husband & I …
I received an invite to try out the Royal China in DIFC last week, and truth be told, I only accepted because I had a slow weekend. Even after I accepted, I was a little wary going in, and the fact that …
Anyone who’s fond of the finer things in Dubai (especially when it comes to Japanese food) will have heard of Zuma. Most of them would know that the previous Regional Executive Chef of Zuma Middle East is now the Chef de Cuisine …
