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…
Frog & Parrot
Pub food is, for the most part, pretty decent. It’s not gourmet five-star fare sure, but if you choose the right ones, you get palatable food in very good portions, considering what you pay. This pub, Frog & Parrot, is located on Division Street in Sheffield, and is one of those pubs that I’d say…
Pastries from Gateaux
Random: did you know “gateaux” means “cakes” in French? Anyway, I followed a tip from @dollz87 because I wanted to get some pastries but wasn’t sure where I could get good ones in the DMC/Dubai Marina/Emirates Hills area. 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…
The 7 Deadly Sins hot chocolate by Whittard UK
I love hot chocolate. I love Whittard of Chelsea (the stores in UK anyway, not the Dubai café versions). So when I saw their Seven Deadly Sins Hot Chocolate gift box…what’s a girl got to do except buy it? To be fair, I asked my Mom to check if they had the same box in…
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…
The lovely Hummingbird Bakery, London
Pictures by me and @eddydubai I’d never had red velvet cake before (I know, isn’t it shocking?) and I’d heard about The Hummingbird Bakery from @cookiemonster82 and decided to give it a try. I toddled off to their outlet in Wardour Street (just off Oxford Street) with @eddydubai and picked a slice of the delicious-looking…
