The Dubai Diaries: Rubicons Coffee’s Dulce de Leche Cheesecake @ The Dubai Mall
Located at: Financial Center Road, Downtown Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 12 Oct, 2019 This Dulce de Leche Cheesecake came highly recommended, and apparently is Rubicons’ best-seller. A bite into it and you realise why. It is an absolutely beautiful, smooth cheesecake sitting on a softly crunchy biscuit base, seamlessly topped with a layer of…
The Dubai Diaries: Amorino Gelato @ The Dubai Mall
Located at: Financial Center Road, Downtown Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 12 Oct, 2019 This little gelato ‘truck’ stationed near Galaries Lafayette on the ground floor serves these fancy little rose-shaped gelato on cones. You can get the petals done in one or several flavours, and this particular one was completely pistachio. And no matter…
The Dubai Diaries: Wagamama @ The Dubai Mall
Located at: Financial Center Road, Downtown Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 12 Oct, 2019 We’ve walked past this Asian and Japanese chain on the lower ground floor many times before, and decided to make a stop for lunch on this particular day. Perhaps partly owing to it being the weekend, it was packed, and we…

Located at: Baniyas Road, Deira, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 11 Oct, 2019 Radisson Blu has restructured their Friday Brunch spread a bit since our last visit, and it has quite a neat disposition.

Located at: 3rd Floor, Tower #2, Al Ghurair Centre, Al Rigga Road, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 10 Oct, 2019 Being hidden away on the third floor of one of Al Ghurair’s towers certainly hasn’t dampened the popularity of this place! We went on a weekend (Thursday night), and unless you have reserved ahead, there’s…
The Dubai Diaries: Seafood Market @ Le Méridien Dubai
Located at: Airport Road, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 21 Apr, 2019 Seafood Market started us off with an entrée of vegetable spring rolls and sesame prawn toast, both of which were quite good.

The Dubai Diaries: Motomachi @ Dubai Festival City
Located at: Crescent Street, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 20 Apr, 2019 Here’s a good, casual spot for a decent Japanese meal. It’s near the Waterfront of Dubai Festival City (DFC) and has outdoor seating if you prefer some alfresco dining (not during the summer, of course!). It was our second visit, and it…
The Dubai Diaries: Forno Uno @ Al Ghurair Centre
Located at: Al Rigga Road, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 19 Nov, 2018 Forno Uno, managed by Il Forno, is one of the latest restaurants to pop up at Al Ghurair Centre.

The Dubai Diaries: Minato @ Radisson Blu
Located at: Baniyas Road, Deira, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 18 Nov, 2018 As Japanese as this place might be, it flies the Sri Lankan flag high – the head chef is from our little island nation, and we have met several chefs here over the years who have also hailed from the motherland. That…
