Every time someone says “GF Ferre”, I imagine super skinny men and women with chiseled jawlines strutting their stuff down a ramp somewhere at the Dubai Design District. The last thing I can think of is food. There is in fact an emotion of immense regret that takes over. I feel guilty for the lastContinue reading “GF Ferre chocolate bar.”

Milas – An Emirati feast.
Imagine my awkwardness when a friend visiting from abroad wanted me to suggest an Emirati restaurant which served authentic Emirati food and I couldn’t even come up with one name. It was actually quiet embarrassing, especially with me being a food blogger and all. “Where should I send him”, I thought. A shawarma restaurant maybe.Continue reading “Milas – An Emirati feast.”
Al Fresco dining at SOY, Ibn Batuta
Ibn Batuta mall was not the kind of place you would specifically go to for a meal. If you were in the mall doing your groceries or whatever, sure why not. At least that is what is what it used to be for me, until recently. Please don’t get me wrong, It’s not that theyContinue reading “Al Fresco dining at SOY, Ibn Batuta”
The Chilis syndrome. Big brand = Bad food.
I love discovering new restaurants and talking about exciting new places to eat at but one of the main reasons behind this blog, was to talk about restaurants that have existed, survived and multiplied while others around them barely made it past the first year of operations. How have some restaurant chains managed to openContinue reading “The Chilis syndrome. Big brand = Bad food.”
Asha’s
I am a huge Asha Bhosle fan, I am. Yes, I may have only hard a few of her songs but the ones that I have heard (four to be precise) are in my opinion some of the best Hindi songs ever produced. The first AB song I heard was ‘zara sa jhoom lun main’Continue reading “Asha’s”
Iftar at Lapita Hotel, Dubai Parks and Resorts.
I have been doing the Tiki Puka Puka way before Prince Harry and his friends went all Polynesian and much before the London club Mahiki opened up in Dubai. So imagine my excitement when not just one club or restaurant but a whole Polynesian themed resort opened up here. Nestled in the centre of theContinue reading “Iftar at Lapita Hotel, Dubai Parks and Resorts.”
Little Lahore – Dubai’s new post hangover breakfast joint.
The minimalist menu consisted of some pages on a wooden board. Mishal was a little disappointed because there were no pictures on it. My wife is an environmental engineer and she doesn’t really need to look at pictures to order off a menu but we just couldn’t remember going to a Pakistani or an Indian restaurant where the menu had no pictures of food on it.
Ultimate Family brunch at Flow Kitchen. Fairmont, Palm Jumeirah.
we were greeted by Spider Man and a Green dude who looked like he was going to get his ass kicked by Spider Man pretty soon. There was also this other dude who looked like he could be the star of his own comic book but I couldn’t quite remember who he was.
Hatam. Persian in a rush.
The blue motif at the centre of the table reminded us of an ‘evil eye’ charm which we received from Tehran as a gift but had also seen being sold on the streets of Istanbul. Going through the menu was déjà vu all over again. Like Turkish food, Iranian cuisine is dominated by grilled skewersContinue reading “Hatam. Persian in a rush.”
Dave and his band of Famous People
After watching Heroes (the TV show), I believed that every human being had a super power. I would ask my friends what their special abilities were and it would make for wonderful evening banter. Those who did not know were of course enlightened by yours truly. I told them to be patient because sooner orContinue reading “Dave and his band of Famous People “
