After proclaiming RAW to be my find of Taste of Dubai 2011, it would have been remiss of me not to visit their one-and-only outlet at the Dubai Garden Centre on Sheikh Zayed Road. I organized a food blogger outing and a few members of our group showed up for our caffeine fix (shout out…

Indulgence: Sugar Daddy’s cupcakes
Nom, nom, nom. Bought 6 cupcakes from Sugar Daddy’s and followed their website instructions not to put them in the fridge at the end of the day, but to store them in airtight containers at room temperature instead. Spot on. I’d bought cupcakes from here a long time back and stuck them in the fridge…
Blue Birthday Cake
Just a look at the birthday cake we’d gotten for my brother to take to school on his special day. Mr Baker hasn’t gone wrong yet. Very reliable.
Taste of Dubai 2011
See the full gallery on Posterous A festival! All about food! What kind of insane food blogger would I be if I didn’t go? So I toddled off to Taste of Dubai 2011 on the first day (3rd March) to check out the foodie delights that I hoped awaited within. After making it past the entertainment and rides…
Rapid fire with Chef Vineet Bhatia
Before the lovely Taste of Dubai 2011 festival, the participating chefs were generous enough to answer a round of quick questions for their foodie fans. Here we have Chef Vineet Bhatia’s answers, with whom I even managed to have a one-on-one personal chat on other matters later. That riveting account will be online soon! Till…

Nestled away amidst the construction behind the JBR Walk, you’ll find Gateaux just next to the HSBC in…
South Indian food? Always Venus.
I know my food philosophy is very non-vegetarian but here’s the thing, I actually do eat vegetarian food. But particular kinds. For example, put a plate of medhu vadas and onion uttapams in front of me and I’ll devour the plates clean. But where to get the good stuff? I unequivocally pitch for Venus restaurant…
Mango Tree blogger lunch
[EDIT: This venue is now closed] Having never ventured to Mango Tree in Souk Al Bahar (or in London for that matter!), I was only quite happy to accept attending the blogger’s lunch hosted by the friendly chaps over at Guild PR, who were handling the PR for the upcoming Taste of Dubai festival. Here’s…
Macaroni Grill
My first time to Macaroni Grill I ordered their cannelloni, since I’ve discovered (only in the last year!) that I do love cannelloni pasta. The cannelloni was really good, although personally I preferred the one I’d had months ago in Sheffield. There was also their veggie salad on the table, since Chirag was … well … IS vegetarian (How…
