It’s taken a while, but I’ve come to learn the difference between real Chinese food and Indian Chinese food, and boy, is there a world of difference! A real Chinese food joint opened up in JLT just over two months back, and I found myself there one afternoon, wondering what my tastebuds would find there….

An epic three-hour lunch at Sino Chai, Dubai
[EDIT: This restaurant is now open under the guise of ‘Taipei Dao’ in Downtown Dubai; a lot of the menu items are the same, and is of the same quality] A DM popped up in my Twitter client, asking if I’d like to visit Sino Chai for a blogger’s lunch. Does it rain in the…
Dim Sum-ing it at Da Shi Dai
The dim sum that reminded me of Yeerks. High-five if you know what Yeerks are. I’m not a fish person (or a vegetable person, but that’s another story), so it may come to a surprise to many that for the last few weeks I have been partaking of seafood, with no qualms whatsoever. For example,…

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…
