Gossip

The name is so catchy and there is always some time for 'gos', isn't there? 
We went there late at night for a cup of coffee and some dessert. The place was pretty quiet and hardly any customers there. It is a nice and bright ambiance. 

 We started with a latte. This looked good and was served in a nice cup, but the taste was bad. We did not like it at all. This isn't what coffee should be like. 

 In the mood for something sweet, we had a look at the menu, and wanted to order all of the items. Finally, we asked the waiter what is good, and he suggested us the Lotus French Toast. The name sounded interesting. French toast is something that I like, and Lotus should make it even better. 

 The toast was served with two scoops of ice-cream, and LOADS of Lotus syrup on the side. 
The bread was freshly toasted and was hot and crispy. One bite and it felt heavenly. We just could not contain ourself at that. We poured some more lotus on it, and that made it even better. We totally loved this one. 

 Towards the end, it felt a bit too sweet, and there were the two of us. For one person this would be mission impossible.

Baku food : What did I eat in Azerbaijan?

Image
Azerbaijani food has a lot of Middle Eastern influence, and a lot of dishes are variations of those you get in the Middle East. There were a few good local restaurants I visited, and a few others too. I'm going to talk about all of these in this post.  The name of the dishes may be a bit different in Azeri (language), and some might just be a translation / description of the dish. You can click on the name of the restaurant to get the exact location.   Burc Qala [well known for Azeri cuisine]:- This is located in the heart of the city - Icheri Shehr (which means Old City). While walking through the old forts in this area, we came across this restaurant. The interiors feel really traditional. Also, a lot of shades of red are used. Here, I had the qutab , which is a very famous local dish; more of a snack. It is made from thinly rolled dough, and has filling inside. It usually has two variants - minced meat, and mixed greens. I had both and they were delicious. Both felt r

Indo-Arab menu at Ashiana

Image
Ashiana is an Indian restaurant located in Sheraton beside Dubai Creek. Recently it has got a new head chef - Joseph Yohanna - and has started its Indo-Arab menu; and we were among the first ones invited to try it out.  This was my first time visiting this outlet, and as soon as I entered, the ambiance felt classy. They've got live Indian music too (bollywood, and ghazals), so if you're a fan, you'll love it, otherwise it might be a bit too loud.  We started off with some pani-puri fruit juice shots . In this, instead of the regular pani, there was a mango-based fruit juice. The taste wasn't bad by itself, but if you're in the mood for pani-puri, then this doesn't quite hit the spot.  After this, all the items were Indian, with an Arabic twist to it.  We had a soup which was called dejaj (chicken) shorba . In a bowl were small pieces of chicken, and a bread-stick tempered with cumin, over which we poured the broth that was served separately. It

Oakberry Acai Bowls

Image
This is a Brazilian brand which has 200 outlets worldwide and has recently started in Dubai with 8 outlets. They invited me to try out their outlet in Citywalk. Most of their outlets here are kiosks but this is a comparatively bigger one. The ambience is nice and they've used a green and purple colour scheme which gives a bit of a earthy vibe.  You can customize your acai bowl or smoothie with the various ingredients that they have.  We took one with Acai, chia seeds, almonds, hazelnut, and strawberry. It was nice and healthy, although colder than usual. If you have it quickly, you might get a brain-freeze.  In the other one we had acai with condensed milk, strawberry, almonds and chia seeds. I liked the flavour of the condensed milk in this one.  It's a good place especially if you like to have something healthy.  Click here to salivate
