Not even 20 years old yet, Magnolia Bakery is quite the international phenomenon. Often accredited to have started the cupcake craze in the 90s (that hasn’t really died out till date); the bakery soared to fame after being featured in one of …
I’m a sucker for breakfast. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. Breakfast is the biggest motivator for me to get out of bed, and I can have breakfast items for lunch and dinner too; and see nothing wrong with that …
Toko at Vida Downtown – which looks like a high-end underground den straight out of Tokyo- needs no introduction, as it’s one of the most popular Sushi spots in Dubai; and was even on Kimmy K’s list of places worthy of consuming cals …
800 Degrees Pizza is a welcome addition to the Mall of the Emirates extension, offering Dubai a new, fast-food concept in wood fire pizza. Although I was invited to the media preview, I base my review not on the media preview alone- …

Last Friday M and I accepted an invite to review Provedore, in Sunset Mall Jumeirah. A quick Zomato rating check later, I was already salivating over the vibrant dessert selection they promised. In fact, that’s what I was most looking forward to, …
