Tap House


The name is catchy and I was looking forward to trying it out when I was invited here. 

 It was a Wednesday, and they've just started curry nights on every Wednesday. I was a bit surprised to see Indian curries here, but it was interesting. 
The set meal costs just AED 99 and includes one curry, Indian bread, potato sabji, rice, papad, curd, and pickles. You have the option of choosing chicken, mutton, or vegetarian. 

 For the chicken option, there is butter chicken which tasted quite good initially, but after a few bites, felt a bit too tangy. The potato sabji (jeera aloo) was really good and had a homely flavour to it. The pickle and mint chutney was nice too. 

 They also have quiz nights here, and it happened to be on that day too. There are about 10 rounds where you make teams of around 5 people. Each round has some interesting questions. There is also a round where you need to mould something with clay. The quiz was really fun overall. 

 I liked the overall vibe of this place. It feels olden style and has a casual feel to it. 

 The parking scene was a bit of a hassle. Finding a spot took forever. They do have valet parking but at a price of AED 25 and sadly it doesn't get re-reimbursed even if you dine there.

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

Humpty Dumpty - desi Chinese

Image
This is a small place located in Karama, and my friends took me there. Initially I was a apprehensive as to how this place might be, but it didn't seem to be all that bad.  We were five of us, and moderately hungry.  We ordered the Schezwan sixer . This is a combo which contains 1 portion of each: fried rice, noodles, chicken gravy, soup, Chinese bhel, chicken lollipop . This costs just about AED 50. The above combo is also available in a vegetarian option which costs around 40 AED.   We started with the soup which I really liked. It was the manchow soup which was spicy and tangy. The chinese bhel was okay. It wasn't so crunchy, and neither did it have a very good taste.  The chicken lollipop wasn't too bad; it were fairly good. Four pieces of this come in one portion.  The rice and the noodles were good enough, and had a typical ' desi ' flavor to it.  A post shared by Famished Explorer [ UDIT ] (@uditss) on Jan 8, 2018 at 11:49pm P

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
