I’ve already blogged about Pascal Tepper Bakery in Dubai Media City before [click here to read my previous post], so when I was asked if I’d like to meet the man behind the brand, I said yes. I already knew Chef Tepper was the recipient of the Meilleur Ouvrier de France [which the ever-so-helpful Wikipedia…

My Eid Feast!
Many were surprised when Eid in Dubai was announced to start on August 30, 2011, but even amidst the surprise and unexpectedness, my brain had started whirring: what am I going to wear, and what will I get to eat? Every Eid, I’ve a standing invitation to squat at my friend Farah’s house. I take…
My Dubai Iftar experience
The kind of iftars I like going to, are with friends…and if at their homes, even better. Not for any other reason, but even though I don’t fast, I believe it’s a much more personal way of sharing an important time of the day with friends and family. It’s like Christmas and Eid – every…
Frenchified, n’est-ce pas?
If I indulged in a romance of sorts, I think I’d like it to be in France. Or at least have the man I’m having said romance with, whisper sweet nothings in my ear…in French. Alternatively, he could take me to a place where I can have French food and I might be slightly mollified…
Tea-licious
[2017 edit: This venue is now closed] Tea. There’s something magical, almost like a spell, when you boil water and throw the infusion of cured leaves into it … *POOF* and it’s a swirling mixture that explodes into a sensory delight. You can smell it, you can see it, you can almost feel its aroma…
Love me, then leave me
Promise me the world. You look perfect. Tell me you’ll stay with me, every step of the way. Entice me with your lusciousness, your sweet taste and your pretty looks. I bite, I freeze and let the juices flow. I fall in love, I delve deep into your mind, your soul and understand what makes…
Don’t slip on the shrimp*
The food blogger crew strikes again! A group of us decided to go to Xiao Wei Yang in Deira for some Chinese hot pot. Essentially, we get the boiling broth and we throw all the ingredients we want in…and eat! After foraging for parking (yes, it felt like foraging), I finally stuck Guido (yes, my…
Drown in decadent, thick, rich and sexy chocolate
Look fearfully off the precipice…wonder if you’ll be able to survive the fall? Take a nimble step, dip your toe in the richness of it all. Inhale as the chocolate flows through your veins. Take a leap of faith. Drown in decadent, thick, rich and oh-so-sexy chocolate. Note: Chocolate cake from Zaatar W Zeit is…
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…
Juicing it up
Just had the Jungle mix fruit cocktail from Jungle Juice at the Arjaan at Dubai Media City. I’ve already blogged about the very cool Fruit Shop on Gream’s Road – do people have juice favourites? Let me know!
