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 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 …
Farzi Cafe arrived in Dubai with a bang only a month ago and has taken the food scene by storm. I was committed elsewhere on BOTH the fantastic blogger events that took place for the launch (thanks so much for the invite Ishita), …
This is a good time to be alive and to be in Dubai, for it is the month of the Dubai Food Festival (erm, well, it was when I started writing this review *embarrassed face*)! Crowd goes wild? Crowd goes wild. What’s …

My parents were in town all of last week, and it was bittersweet because I had been looking forward to their visit for an entire year (that’s how long it had been since their last visit!); but just as they flew in, …

Dubai’s weather is quite unforgiving for the better part of the year, so the November-March period is prized and celebrated by engaging in lots of outdoor activities- of which the most popular perhaps is the outdoor brunch. One brunch I’d had on …
What could possibly trump dining at a restaurant in the Burj Al Arab? Being invited to eat the creations of and be served by the previous host and now judge on Masterchef India. And guess what? That’s exactly the honor that was …
Watch out, Dubai. Abu Dhabi is on the brink of giving your Friday institution a run for it’s money. I’ve been going to a lot of Friday brunches lately, and while each of them has something hat-tip-worthy to offer, the Chino Latino …
