So I had heard about this shiny new part of Mall Of The Emirates (MOE) with all these fun new places to eat. Along with that, I’d also heard quite a bit about this new dim sum place which kept coming up in conversations. And so when a friend suggested Din Tai Fung for dinner, I was all

The extraordinary opportunity for a quiet cup of coffee at the Cocoa Room
I say extraordinary because this may literally never happen ever again. The Cocoa Room shares space with Slider Station. Prior to Cocoa Room opening to the public, I had been to Slider Station on two occasions and both times, this place was bursting at the seams.

PIC COURTESY: Toro Toro Have I mentioned that I’m learning Spanish? While I know that going to a country and getting immersed into its culture and language helps heaps, I can’t afford that right now. Instead, I’m using an app on my phone till there comes a time when I can travel and lets just say, its going very slowly. In order

Luis’s Quinoa Crusted Chicken and Red Wine Rice

I love Pho. It is the best soup I think there is. Perfect mix of noodles and broth and meat (if you swing that way) and most importantly, the flavors from the whole spices that they use. So great. When I lived in the Pacific North West – I would indulge in a big bowl

Kevin’s Raspberry White Chocolate Cheesecake
I’ve been a little worried recently. My sweet tooth is leaving me. I’m turning into the kind of person who eats one finger of a two-finger Kit-Kat and puts the other half in the fridge. It’s very frustrating because I love dessert and think it is the best part of a meal. But with this
