Located at: Ground Floor, Al Huda Building, Al Garhoud, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 13 Oct, 2019 We used to pay India Palace a visit every now and then when they had their branch at Al Ghurair.

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…
The Dubai Diaries: Shogun @ Al Ghurair Centre
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…
Pastries by Sapphyr Lounge @ Shangri-La Colombo
Located at: 2, 1 Colombo, Colombo 02, Sri Lanka Visited on: 07 Sep, 2019 Have y’all seen the sweet stuff at Sapphyr Lounge? Those pastries look spectacular! Tucked away at the far end of the lobby, their pastry display is definitely worth taking a look at. And once you do, you’re bound to fall for something…
AQUA Forte @ Galle Fort
Located at: 62 Leyn Baan Street, Galle Fort, Sri Lanka Visited on: 05 Aug, 2019 This wine-and-dine Italian restaurant located inside the Fort conveniently popped up in the newspapers the day before we were to visit Galle. It also had rave reviews, which was encouraging. Hence, we decided to stop by for lunch. The interior was…
Colombo’s Biggest Brunch @ Cinnamon Lakeside
Located at: 115 Sir Chittampalam A Gardiner Mawatha, Colombo 02, Sri Lanka Visited on: 04 Aug, 2019 When it comes to brunches and buffets, there is barely a shortage in Colombo. Which is a good thing as it brings about some healthy competition. Ironically, it is ‘healthy’, in a sense, for us too as – despite…
Cheers @ Cinnamon Grand
Located at: 77 Galle Road, Colombo 03, Sri Lanka Visited on: 22 Jul, 2019 This classic sports bar is always abuzz when there’s any significant sporting event happening anywhere around the world. That aside, it’s also a pretty chilled out spot for a bit of lunch, evening snack or dinner. They dish out your typical…
Colombo Fort Café
Located at: Old Dutch Hospital Complex Echelon Square, Hospital St, Colombo 01, Sri Lanka Visited on: 19 Jul, 2019 This visit came quite a long time after the last one, and I was harbouring fond memories of a few tasty dishes I’d had here before. It was a pleasant afternoon, so we decided to dine al…
