After living in the UK and having excellent Italian food there, and going to the US and gorging on Giordano's deep dish pizza, I've developed a hankering to find good pizza and Italian food in the UAE. One night I had plans for an evening out, which got cancelled (curse...
A Global Village trip just to eat through the different countries' pavilions? HECK YEAH, SIGN ME UP NOW!!! The pomegranate juice Didi got from Tunisia. So I did. Sign up, that is. Note the bold, red font is there to express the excitement that coursed through me...
Pic from a tea tweetup at Tea Junction, Dubai, in June 2011 I love tea; I've often talked about it. Apart from finding different places across Dubai to have some, I relish making a nice, hot cup of masala chai for myself at home. It started with a tweet, over two years...

Well I'll say this for sure: Vivaldi has one heck of a brilliant view. The outdoor seating of this Italian restaurant (it actually used to serve French cuisine many, many years ago!) overlooks the Creek and diners are treated to the old-world charms of dhows slowly passing...
I don't know where I got the idea from, but I suddenly decided I wanted to go on a falafel trek. Ideas kept popping in my mind like the little chickpea balls deep frying away at a crackling rate, waiting to be devoured by me. I needed a wingman on this though. Brave...
