People often plan what they’re going to do for New Year’s Eve. Many often tell me about awesome concerts, cool parties and in Dubai, they also tell me about being stuck in traffic (yes on NYE). I’ve never done any of these things on the 365th (or 366th) day of any year. Most of them…
Finding a Turkish Delight in Dubai
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…
My custard day out
“It says 225ml on the packet, Mom! How do you even KNOW that cup is 225ml? Where’s your measuring cup?” She tells me she doesn’t use one. WHAT? She continues to say she doesn’t need one anymore, she just does it “andaaz se” (which, translated, means, she just knows). I wasn’t even near being done…
As I melted into little puddles of delight amidst a chocolate haze…
Chocolate + coffee = a bouncy, happy and very satisfied me. I had recently gone to USA as part of a press trip organized by Kohler, and apart from the press conferences and roundtable discussions the journalists were treated to…there was also a whole lot of food. One of the places that has firmly ensconced…
Best @cheesecake one can hope for – The Cheesecake Factory
I love cheesecake. You know I do. You can feel it through every pore of this blog (see all my past cheesecake-related posts). So when I’d visited USA, I knew one thing I absolutely had to do was visit The Cheesecake Factory. I’ve heard a lot about this place from the lucky people who’ve gobbled…
Hallowe’en in Dubai
My first Hallowe’en in the UK, I had these amazingly decorated cupcakes with a good friend of mine while we were exploring Fright Night, a city-wide event Sheffield would put on at Hallowe’en. I thought I’d never see such brilliantly done cupcakes before. And then…these: Hoo boy, did Yasmin (also known as Red Panda) blow…
