After attending a music launch that made me cry, I was hungry. “Take me somewhere I’ve never been before,” I told my friend Shruti, who like The Doctor, whisked me off to lands unseen, food as yet not tasted and parking lots never traversed. Only she doesn’t have a blue TARDIS. Just an orange Focus….

An Italian night out with Vivaldi at Sheraton Dubai Creek Hotel & Towers
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 on dark, lapping waters with the glittering Burj…
Where to eat falafels in Dubai
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 food blogger…
It’s @BakeFestDxb Number 3
The very hungry @PreetSagar in front of a red velvet cake pop from Delphi’s Delights After my sugar rush at the last BakeFestDxb, I was fully anticipating the next installment. Last time, I unfortunately left early. But this time, I came prepared. I reached Wild Peeta just before noon, ready for the madness. My plan…
A Chocolate-gasm of epic proportions
I throw the gauntlet down: I am, without a doubt, the most passionate chocoholic food blogger in UAE. I love chocolate. It loves me (on the hips no less). Little did I know I was nearly going to drown in it. Really. During the Eid break, I decided to boldly go where I have not gone…

Enjoy! View “The @TavolaME breakfast” on Storify Blogposts covering the Tavola ME breakfast: Foodiva Irini Savva (just…
Meeting Chef Pascal Tepper
I’ve already blogged about Pascal Tepper Bakery in Dubai Media City before [click here to read my previous post], so when I was asked if I’d like to meet the man behind the brand, I said yes. I already knew Chef Tepper was the recipient of the Meilleur Ouvrier de France [which the ever-so-helpful Wikipedia…
Ping Pong Dim Sum
“I want to eat Chinese food; there’s a restaurant in Dubai Mall I want to go to.” I asked which one, but I was left in the dark. That was how I found myself at Ping Pong Dim Sum one Friday afternoon. We were greeted at the entrance by a friendly member of staff who…
Frenchified, n’est-ce pas?
If I indulged in a romance of sorts, I think I’d like it to be in France. Or at least have the man I’m having said romance with, whisper sweet nothings in my ear…in French. Alternatively, he could take me to a place where I can have French food and I might be slightly mollified…
Tea-licious
[2017 edit: This venue is now closed] Tea. There’s something magical, almost like a spell, when you boil water and throw the infusion of cured leaves into it … *POOF* and it’s a swirling mixture that explodes into a sensory delight. You can smell it, you can see it, you can almost feel its aroma…
