Good morning Monday! Hello new week …. Hello to routines, hello challenges, hello to do list, hello work, hello meetings, hello deadlines, hello housekeeping… hello life.
Weekend lunch fantasy! I would love to eat this now. @jumakitchen taking IRAQI food to the British public big style. I particularly love his #vegan twist on the Iraqi stable #kubba. And can I just say his kunafa is to die for. Extremely delicious 🤤 So next time you are in #boroughmarket in #london search #kubba by #phillipjuma and drop me a thank you in the comment below 👇🏽😉
Friday coffee @kaffeinelondon 👌🏽☕️💕
Head to #boroughmarket and go straight to #breadahead @breadaheadbakery trust me you will not be disappointed 😉🍩🇬🇧
If your in #oxford #uk then I want you to pop into this beautiful place for a coffee or something to eat @handlebaroxford Organic vegan and non vegan ingredients served with smile and love ❤️ .
My sister took me to brunch to one of our favorite places; you want true delicious Lebanese brunch (or food)? Then I would recommend @beitelzaytoun The decor and atmosphere is something else; The staff are incredibly friendly and the menu is to die for…. I can’t get enough. They are open till late.
On a very hot Parisian day like today I am dreaming of having this ….. delicious saffron ice-cream inside honey dripping baklawa from @darlishicecream A superb Persian 🇮🇷 ice-cream parlor in #london that truly brings a smile 😊 They have other flavors too all Persian inspired.
@wagamama_uk I adore you.
It’s a scorching hot 31C in Paris🥵 Don’t forget to hydrate yourself and the best way is to increase your fruit intake; you get water, natural sugars and fibers and lots of vitamin antioxidant goodness. Don’t forget your sunscreen 🧴 ☀️
Coffee ☕️?
This is becoming my first stop restaurant when I arrive in London. With multiple locations it’s not hard to find … @dishoom I just love you. Your amazing food and atmosphere…. Absolutely enchanted by old authentic India before the Brits split you up … great #halal infused mixture from across the Indian territory…. I had the chef special with the most crispy okra mmmmmmm I can hear that CRUNCH …. This restaurant was located in Carnaby Street.
@busabaeathai delicious first time I try louts root !!!
London-bound 🇬🇧 Time to recharge🔋with family & friends……. This is a special one due to Covid-19 I haven’t been home for a year.
A quick rest at chez @budblossomslings for a catch-up over bbq and I got the cheese board. Would you like me to blog on what makes a good cheese board ?
I got a chance to visit this special spice shop in Dubai that is dedicated to all things from Yemen 🇾🇪 Yemeni coffee, cardamom, spices, dried herbs, honey and more….. it was wonderful…. I got a few goodies…. Remember to go to specialist authentic shops off the tourist track and you you will find hidden gems …..
Did you know @loccitane had their own cafe ??? Only in Dubai. @loccitanecafe
Disappointed 😔 @darbuneh do not allow kids in their restaurant! It is because shesha 💨 is smoked inside as well as outside. So I couldn’t go inside and try this much talked about place that recently opened with a lot of hype and slight controversy…. But they did let me take a photo of the entrance!!!
It’s over 40C and it’s late at night in Sharjah, UAE. I decided to walk along the beach in the unbearable humidity and then I found this lovely traditional Emirate restaurant and I order chai Karak 🤨 Staff welcome you dressed in traditional clothes and give you rose water 💦! The place is empty when I went but that was because it was late… I did look at their menu and I promised myself to return to have their traditional breakfast…. I will return …. @alfanarrestaurant . Thank you for sheltering me from the sticky humidity that wanted me to shed my skin off !!!
So happy to actually be in @grandbeirutuae after seeing it pop up in social media. This place is breathtakingly elegant and fun. Even their toilet 🚽 is amusing…. The food is high quality Lebanese that has been modernise with twists of different sauces and ideas. I love The Hallomi sticks with sweet onion chutney for example. The Decor speaks for its self and location is a bit complicated (. Dubai Digital Park) but worth it trust me. Friendly staff and I can imagine great atmosphere in the evening.
O.M.G. @chocomelt.ae ….. this is what kind of food you find in heaven !!! We overdosed and had chocolate coma that lasted for hours ! This chocolate haven is found in @thedubaimall second floor. You need to go there and taste happiness… I had their signature dessert Baby Dynamite 🧨 🍫 and my cousin had the Saffron cake. My boys had Speculoos Durprise and chocolates shake!!!
