Eat like an Egyptian at Hadoota Masreya
Molokheya with rice and fried chicken “Do you want to go to the best Egyptian restaurant in town?” asked John ‘Foodie’ Bambridge, mysteriously. I didn’t bite. Surely all restaurants claim they’re the best, and his question was based on a one-line review he found on the internet. The internet. Untrustworthy little thing. He changed tactics:…
I got drenched & nearly stood up…but the rogan gosht made up for it
Note: this post has been slowly marinating in the drafts section, waiting to see light of day, for two months. Yup, that’s how far behind my posts are. The memories might be sketchy, but my feelings for the place stay true. I met Rohit three days before this food jaunt. As I said in the…
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…
Of luscious kababs and fluffy naan at Ravi’s
What would it be like, to be a Lilliput in the middle of the table set before me, I wondered? To run amok amidst the chargrilled chicken tikkas, to break off a piece of chicken as big as a boulder and devour it? To skip over to these soft, massive mounds of kababs and nibble…
Stuffing my face in Camden
Picture courtesy @eddydubai That was me at the end of a particularly exciting day in Camden. To be fair, this happened many months ago and I’ve been extremely lazy and haven’t posted this on the blog…so my memory might be a little sketchy. Forgive me. My friend @eddydubai and I were traipsing around Camden this…
P.F. Chang’s
I’d only tried P.F. Chang’s at Taste of Dubai by way of their chicken lettuce wraps. P.F. Chang’s was chosen for the venue for a reunion of sorts. I’ll apologize in advance because I cannot remember what I ordered, and I was silly enough not to write their names down. However, I do remember the…
Best chicken tikka I have *ever* had
Now…that’s a big claim to back up, isn’t it? But I’m quite a chicken-hogger, to put it mildly. So when I eat out (what, you thought I’d commit blasphemy and say this was the best chicken dish ever including what my Mom makes? This is the best chicken dish I’ve ever had out of home :D)…
Chicken Parmigiana
In full disclosure, I must give all thanks to my flatmate Anna, who showed me this recipe in one of her cookbooks. It’s simple, quick to make and absolutely delicious. And I must admit, it’s one of the rare times I end up doing some baking in the oven!
Baked Chicken
Bread? Check. Cheese? Check. Chicken? Check. Mayonnaise? Check. An assortment of veggies? Check. Baked goodness? YES!!! *bows to applause* Note: this was the first time I EVER baked anything. Yes, please continue clapping 🙂
