When I moved to Sheffield, I was heart-broken for a bit because I couldn’t find proper Lebanese food there. However, it seemed like my mental suggestions to the universe eventually worked – a Lebanese place opened up soon, not 10 minutes away from my place. While it did not compare to Dubai-fare, it was something…

Fruit Shop on Gream’s Road
It was a dark, non-stormy night. The rumbling was getting louder, and louder, and then some. I was hungry for dessert. My aunt and cousins were in town and apart from my stomach (which, even though was full on some awesome wraps from Zaatar W Zeit, seemed to have a special compartment reserved for dessert),…
#BakeFestDxb Take 2
Yes. That’s me. At BakeFest, scarfing down Nick’s (that’s @theregos to you dahlinks!) Godiva Chocolate Cake. Mmmm, so so so good. Mmmmmm. So good in fact, that I have a whole gallery dedicated to said cake. While my next statement might possibly land me a lot of hate mail, here it is: I was the…
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…
A morning at Bombay Chowpatty
…the restaurant. Not the actual chowpatty. That’s the mixed bhajia plate and the khaman dhokla. Prefer the khaman dhokla my Mom makes at home, but the mixed bhajia plate was pretty good. It’s one of those reliable veggie joints (they now have a separate non-veg section too; must try that!) where you get cheap food…
Breakfast @ Urban Tadka
Just one pic … but like the cliché goes, it speaks a 1000 words. I really love their vada pav and their accompanying chutneys are wonderfully spicy. A thumbs-up for value (this plate costs Dhs 4!!!) and if you like spicy food, dip away in those chutneys for sure. Happy tadka-ing!
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)…
Barista training with Costa and a Flat White
I don’t remember the first time I had coffee, but I’m guessing it was probably near my 10th or 12th CBSE Board exams, when staying up late cramming was the way to go, understanding anything be damned. That’s when my love affair with the aroma that coffee gives started. So when I had the opportunity to…
RAW Coffee Company, I pledge eternal love to thee
After proclaiming RAW to be my find of Taste of Dubai 2011, it would have been remiss of me not to visit their one-and-only outlet at the Dubai Garden Centre on Sheikh Zayed Road. I organized a food blogger outing and a few members of our group showed up for our caffeine fix (shout out…
Indulgence: Sugar Daddy’s cupcakes
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…
