Woo hoo! I’m big on birthday celebrations, be it mine or those of loved ones, but I’d been dreading this day for close to two years. It’s officially the end of your 20s – the decade where you can be irresponsible and you'll most likely get away with it. The decade - [Good ol' Macaroni and Cheese](https://shesaidshesaid.co/good-ol-macaroni-and-cheese/) - Home isn't really one particular place anymore. Given the vagabond that life has made me, home is now the people and food and sounds and the small things that make a place home. Having said that, while in the states, my entire friend circle would head "home" over any long holiday. For the time I was - [It's a Rosy Christmas (A Home-made Body Scrub You'll Wanna Eat!)](https://shesaidshesaid.co/its-a-rosy-christmas-a-home-made-body-scrub-youll-wanna-eat/) - Christmas, Christmas, Christmas! My favorite time of year!

You’d normally hear me say this as I'm eating a piece of chocolate brownie or a rich creme brûlée (miss you, Momotaro!).

The new year has brought us a clean slate, 365 days full of opportunities to do things we didn't think possible, to make our life stories memorable, and to make the year count! The new year also means everyone wants to start something new. A resolution, a bucket list, a gym membership. - [Al Fanar Restaurant & Cafe](https://shesaidshesaid.co/al-fanar/) - Anyone else love the Dubai Museum? I really do. I love the little vignettes and set ups. I have heard the argument several times that compared to museums all over the world, it's not much. But I beg to differ. It really does give us some perspective on exactly how far Dubai has come and in - [Malabar Paris](https://shesaidshesaid.co/malabar-paris/) - When I mention this restaurant to friends, I’m met with blank or confused stares - like “What? Where is that?” Evide? Let’s break it down. The Malabar region is an area in southern India lying between the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea. The Malabar coast refers to the strip that runs all the way from - [Xiao Fei Yang](https://shesaidshesaid.co/xiao-fei-yang/) - Gong Xi Fa Cai! The world celebrated Chinese New year yesterday, marking the first day of the Chinese calendar.

Pop-ups seem to be the in-thing at the moment but Buthaina Al Mazrui and Alamira Noor Bani Hashim are no newbies to it. The young, talented girls founded the Dinner Club No. 57 in 2012, hosting elaborate - [Wox](https://shesaidshesaid.co/wox/) - 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 - [Hanoi Naturally](https://shesaidshesaid.co/hanoi-naturally/) - After I published the last post, I couldn't help but realise that the only reason I hadn't been to the other place that serves pho, Hanoi Naturally, even though I am a self-proclaimed pho-lover, is because it was all the way in JLT and I live in old Dubai. That has to be only the - [Moylos](https://shesaidshesaid.co/moylos/) - As far as quirky décor goes, this one’s a pretty good one. Dubai seems to be in burger overdrive mode. Everywhere you look, there’s new joints opening up.

An appetizer, mains AND dessert. You don't care that you shouldn't be eating a big meal at night or whatever other stupid "fun facts" people throw at you constantly. You just want to eat because long days at work earn - [Toro Toro](https://shesaidshesaid.co/toro-toro/) - 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 - [Feast](https://shesaidshesaid.co/feast/) - To say that Dubai has an abundance of brunch options would be THE understatement of the year. There’s something to suit any mood, budget and time of day – what is an “evening brunch” anyway? Nams and I like to try as many new restaurants as we can, all in the name of research, of course! - [Kevin's Raspberry White Chocolate Cheesecake](https://shesaidshesaid.co/he-also-says-kevins-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 - [Luis's Quinoa Crusted Chicken and Red Wine Rice](https://shesaidshesaid.co/quinoa-crusted-chicken-and-red-wine-rice/) - I love having so many creative people in my life.

And it was a real break; I disabled - [Venice food tour](https://shesaidshesaid.co/venice-food-tour/) - If like me, you've only skimmed the surface of Italian cuisine, our vocabulary is then mostly limited to pizza, pasta, lasagna, risotto and the like. So what can you eat in Venice that's different and will make your trip there a memorable one? Sitting in the back of a vaporetto (waterbus), I tilted my face up at an angle in a meek ## Pages - [All About She](https://shesaidshesaid.co/about/) - She Said, She Said is an online journal of two friends who share a passion for food and travel.
