Located at: 77 Galle Road, Colombo 03, Sri Lanka Visited on: 18 Jun, 2018 Yet again, the first thing that struck me was how crowded this place was on a weekday. I guess it says something about the restaurant and what it dishes out. The staff are on their toes, yet manage to keep it…

The Embazzy
Located at: 76/1 Flower Road, Colombo 07, Sri Lanka Visited on: 12 Jun, 2018 Colombo’s been sprouting out restaurants and cafés like mushrooms after the rain. Which is great for food enthusiasts since it gives plenty to choose from and explore. One of these relatively new spots, The Embazzy, was quite abuzz when we visited…
The Dubai Diaries: Fish Market @ Radisson Blu Dubai Deira Creek
Located at: Baniyas Road, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 08 Apr, 2018 Here’s another spot that doesn’t disappoint. This was our first visit since Fish Market’s facelift from the rustic, bamboo and thatched-roof interior to the more contemporary white and teal décor. Quite nice, I must say. In fact, the restaurant looks more open…
The Dubai Diaries: PAUL @ Deira City Center
Located at: 8th Street, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 07 May, 2018 Yes, I don’t usually review restaurant chains. However, this international French bakery / pâtisserie / café / restaurant is certainly no fast-food chain and in fact borders on a sort of relaxed gourmet style. Their Parisian influenced ambiance and uniforms are eye-catching (cue…
The Dubai Diaries: Hoi An Set Menu @ Shangri-La
Located at: Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 04 May, 2018 This restaurant has been one of our favourites in Dubai for years. We started off enjoying the place as occasional diners, mostly reveling in the delicious food they offer on their à la carte menu. And then we discovered their Friday…
The Dubai Diaries: Shakespeare and Co. @ The Dubai Mall
Located at: Financial Center Road, Downtown Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 01 May, 2018 I have passed this place by several times in the past, and always thought of it as an ‘English Afternoon Tea’ sort of spot. Such is the cute, old-English style décor. However, a stop at the place on this particular…
The Dubai Diaries: Bestoon Samad @ Al Ghurair Center
Located at: Al Rigga Street, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 14 Apr, 2018 We thought of checking out this (relatively) new Iraqi restaurant while we were in town. The fifth branch of the Samad Group Restaurants and the first outside of Iraq, the interior of this place has been designed to reflect the authenticity…
Chutneys @ Cinnamon Grand (Part 02)
Located at: 77 Galle Road, Colombo 03, Sri Lanka Visited on: 29 Mar, 2018 Ahoy there, vegetarians! Here’s one for you. This is my second review of Chutneys, and this time it’s all veg. There are a few overlapping choices from the last time – the Ulundu Vadai (LKR 400 for a set of three…
Mainland China
Located at: 8 Flower Road, Cinnamon Gardens, Colombo 07, Sri Lanka Visited on: 26 Mar, 2018 There has been quite a buzz about this place since it opened a branch on the island recently. I’ve been seeing eye-catching and appetising pictures on social media, and so was excited to pop in for lunch while passing…
Schákàsz Dessert Bar
Located at: 56 Stratford Avenue, Colombo 06, Sri Lanka Visited on: 15 Mar, 2018 This place should have been named ‘The Devil in Disguise’. For no matter how strong your will might be, Schákàsz will inevitably and most definitely tempt you into some form of indulgence. I was first introduced to the unconventional name when a…
