FAMISHED EXPLORER

Beesket is an interesting healthy concept that I was invited to try out.  They cater primarily to healthy juices. They offer two types of juices - original and squeezed. To put in simple terms, the squeezed ones are strained, whereas in the original ones the fibre is retained.  You choose three flavours (fruits / vegetables) to make a juice out of. In order to choose, you select the corresponding capsule and put it in a basket that is shaped like a beehive (hence the name beesket - bee + basket). Once you select it, you can even check the amount of calories it has using the in-built sensors in it. There are also pre-set combinations if you're too confused to choose. I made a combination of Mango, Peach, and Raspberry. It tasted really nice. The sour raspberry flavour was balanced with the sweetness of the mango.  We also had the Pomegranate, Strawberry, and Kiwi. This was high in Vitamin C, and had a good flavour to it.  Last, but not the least, w...

We were looking for something cold to drink and came across this place.  They have a lot more options than just lassi.  I chose the regular sweet lassi. It was really thick. So thick that the straw seemed a bit narrow to sip from. It was nice and col to have, and the sweetness was right too.  We also had a mixed juice - the carrot, apple, and pineapple. It had a nice concistency to it and felt fresh.  It is a small place but since we were the only ones there, it did not feel crowded.  Follow me on Instagram  to know about great places and food in Dubai.

Was looking for a place that serves alcohol and is not a pub/lounge (since we wanted to talk to each other comfortably). Also, I was looking for a place that is a part of Zomato Gold, and something that is close to the Metro.  This place is at the poolside of Novotel and met all my requirements.  It is located on the 7th floor of the hotel. As soon as you get out of the elevator, it feels like you have come to the wrong floor since there are just rooms. There is a small signboard pointing to the spa / swimming pool which you need to follow; though there is no particular signboard mentioning deck se7en.  Once I entered the pool area, I noticed that it was really windy. This was at 6pm in mid-January. I strongly suggest taking an overcoat/jacket. The area is smaller than it looked from the photos.  The service area also isn't too big. This particular day there were a lot of people and it looked liked some office get-together. So the service was really slo...

Don't we all just love milk shakes?! Now what makes this place different from the others is that you can take the bottle with you, and it is a really nice glass bottle.  They have some really interesting flavours on their menu, like lotus , tutti-frutti , fig & honey , Nutella marshmallow , Ferrero , choco chip , avocado honey and many more.  They also have add-ons which you can add to your shakes like Oreo , chocolate syrup , vanilla ice-cream . The Ferrero with the espresso add-on tastes really nice. It gives a chocolate flavor with a hint of coffee.  They've also launched some new flavours for Ramadan which are Banoffee , date original , caramel popcorn and more. We found the caramel popcorn to be a bit too sweet.  I had the mint oreo milkshake . This one was my favourite. It was different from the others; it felt really refreshing. The good thing is that it does not feel too sweet towards the end which happens with other milkshakes at times...
