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. Crisp, crunchy and warmly welcoming. We ordered two kinds of soup. The first was Crabmeat and Sweet Corn (AED 50)….

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…
Afternoon High Tea at Sapphyr Lounge @ Shangri-La Colombo
Located at: 1 Galle Face, Colombo 02, Sri Lanka Visited on: 16 Mar, 2019 Price : LKR 3,900 (serves 02) Availability : Daily, 15:00 – 17:00 I was keen on, yet slightly apprehensive about, trying out Shangri-La’s high tea as Table One and Shang Palace hadn’t quite impressed so far. I’m glad to say that their…
High Tea at L.A.B. @ Hilton Colombo

Arcadia Café and Restaurant
Located at: No. 9/7 16th Lane, Marine Drive, Colombo 03, Sri Lanka Visited on: 20 Feb, 2019 Here’s another young restaurant/café that’s been painting the pages of Instagram in sweet and savoury tones. As you glance through the window, it seems to be a rather petite bakery of sorts. However, it’s when you go inside that…
The Fab – Lumprais
Located at: 41/2, Negombo Road, Kandana, Sri Lanka Visited on: 09 Dec, 2018 Yes, they’ve opened a branch up in this neck of the woods, and we thought we’ll give their lumprais a try. The chicken lumprais (LKR 440) was mediocre, and wasn’t exactly value for money given that the likes of VOC Café and BreadTalk…
EDO @ Colombo City Centre
Located at: 137 Sir James Pieris Mawatha, Colombo 02, Sri Lanka Visited on: 30 Nov, 2018 Located at the far end of the second floor of the mall, this place might be easy to miss if you are unaware of it. Walking in through the restaurant entrance, I didn’t imagine it to be as spacious as…

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…
