Ente Malabar

This Kerala restaurant invited me to try out their food and I liked it overall. 

 They gave us a lemonade of sorts before starting our food. 

 We started with a soup - the malabar mutton soup made from bone marrow. I really liked the flavour of this one - the spices as well as the bone, which also had a bit of a crispy part of top. 

 For the appetisers, we had prawn porichatu. The masala on this one was nice and really gave a good flavour to the prawns. 

 The chicken porichatu was also pretty good. The chicken was well cooked, and the curry leaves added to the flavour. 

 For our mains, we started with the mutton pepper masala. if you're a fan of black pepper, then you should definitely try this one out. The flavour had seeped right in and the mutton tasted great. 

 The mulakittatu was served in a big earthen bowl and I really liked the way it was served. It had a tangy flavour to it and the fish taste yummy too. 

 The meen chatti curry was a fish curry with some spice to it. The gravy was really thin but good to taste. 

 We had the chicken stew too. it wasn't bad but I'm not personally a fan of anything on the sweeter side for my mains. 

 We had this with the malabar parota which was soft as expected.

 I also liked the appams that were hot and fluffy.

 There was pathiri too, but it was a bit chewy though it was thin. 

 They also have fish fry and we chose the king fish for this one. This one was delicious. 

 For our dessert, we had payasam ala mode, i.e. payasam with ice-cream. This payasam was different than we've usually had. It tasted okay, and we didn't like it all that much overall. 

 They also didn't have a couple of dessert from the menu.

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
