Who’d have thought that after all these years of being passed dim sum, I’ve never shared an actual recipe of them?? About time I did, and what better kind to start with than the easiest of them all: chicken gyoza a.k.a potstickers. …
Hello, Fellow Quarantinos! Hope you’re trying to stay as positive and productive throughout this madness we’re living in that feels every bit like a movie. I’m quite the silver lining, glass half full kind of person though, so I’m taking this entire …
I don’t need to explain what’s going on in the world right now, nor will I dwell on how COVID-19 has turned our lives upside down. I might need to explain what On-nomi has to do with this though. Some might feel …
Shortly after my vow to make 2020 the year of staycations and an enjoyable retreat at Andaz The Palm, my bestie Zoe Bowker asked me to accompany her to a staycation at Rixos Premium Sadiyaat. I threw some stuff into my tote …
With the coronavirus exploding all over the world and two vacation plans falling through one after the other (in the same month nonetheless), I made the dramatic decision that 2020 will be the year of staycations. I then made a list of …
In the absence of of sufficient information online and (to be quite frank) not enough people talking about 3BK, it was low on my radar of new places to try. I also presumed from the ‘BK’ that it would offer a take …
Hotel Cartagena. I first went with my bestie Zoe when it had just opened, and liked(ish) it, promised I’d go back and give them another chance once they’d gotten past the teething phase, and then you know, (Dubai) life happened, I got …
I’m late to talk about this, but Reif Othman is back (has been for the last 6 months actually, I’ve just been too caught up to talk about it), and is back with a bang. Reif Kushiyaki has been -without a doubt- …
I’m always on a mission to try out all the Asian food and in that I recently discovered Mango Tree Thai Bistro at The Hilton JBR, which is not new to Dubai but has recently reopened at a new location. Previously loved …
Ok, let’s try a new format. Instead of detailing every single day of my trip (because we’ve done that before, and you all love it, but I’ve got to stir the water, right?) this time I’ll just make a summary on what …
As described on the Marea NYC website, this two Michelin-starred restaurant brings together the ‘authentic and bracing flavors of coastal Italy’ with the ‘swagger of New York’ to form ‘a new kind to gusto’. I’ve got to say, I definitely did get …
Unpopular opinion alert: I went to Cervejario Ramiro a.k.a Ramiro’s and didn’t super love it. It was just OKAY really. I’d been advised by several people and Youtubers to not miss out on Cervejario Ramiro, but because M and I aren’t ones …
I often get asked where one can find the best dim sum in Dubai (Royal China), or the best ramen in Dubai (A Story of Food), but where can one get the most ‘Japanese’ experience in Dubai? Kohantei. Kohnatei is as Japanese …
The new Waldorf Astoria has opened its doors, and the property’s ability to stay true to its brand while still being unique enough to clearly feel like a DIFC property is remarkable. The property welcomes you in with emerald green marble floors, …
I get asked all the time for breakfast, lunch, dinner and brunch recommendations, and recently realized that I haven’t written about many brunches over the last year or so because I haven’t really tried many worth writing about. Spoke too soon, because …
