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 Euro Diaries: Papal Cream Cake in Krakow
A visit to the Wadowice area of Krakow warrants for a taste of what is affectionately known as Papal Cream Cake. Made famous by its association with Pope (now St.) John Paul II, who was born and spent his childhood here, the “cake” is actually a dense block of vanilla cream custard sandwiched between thicker…

The Euro Diaries: Holland Fries in Amsterdam
When in Amsterdam, Holland fries are a MUST have. Yes, apparently they are the pioneers of what we commonly refer to as ‘French fries’. Voted No. 1 on TripAdvisor, Manneken Pis is a hugely popular place to get some. With long queues, three portion sizes and loads of toppings to choose from, this is a…
The Euro Diaries: Canal Dinner Cruise in Amsterdam
There was nothing traditional about the food served on this cruise. But the reason The Eat Log decided, in hindsight, to share these images is because each and every course was SO delicious. We were served with a delectable aperitif and chocolates at the end too. Bursting with flavour in just the right portion sizes,…
The Euro Diaries: Tapas in Barcelona
Of course, a visit to Spain would be incomplete without some tapas! This particular restaurant dished out a little more than we could handle – their traditional bread with olive oil and tomato purée, prawns, pork, octopus, squid, more prawns and a rather generous plate of ham. ¡Buen provecho! Or as they say in Catalan,…
The Euro Diaries: Paella in Barcelona
This dense, almost porridge-like rice dish is hugely popular in Spain, enjoyed by locals at lunch and dinner. Paella is available at pretty much every restaurant that serves local cuisine and is commonly served with seafood. Tastes great with flavours of tomato, herbs and mild curry on the palate. A must-try if you’re in the…
The Euro Diaries: Salami & Cheese Cones in Barcelona
These little cones of salami slices and cheese fingers make the perfect snack for a walk-about through the beautiful streets of Barcelona. Often accompanied by bite-sized crispy, baguette-shaped bread, these absolutely delicious treats can be found in plenty at St. Joseph’s Food Market on La Rambla Street as well as at little meateries and eateries…
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…
