A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
We went here for dinner while strolling on the Dubai Marina.
Basically just got the koobideh to share, which was pretty good. Also the view from the restaurant of the marina was nice. Also a friend tried the shisha yesterday, and he said it was good quality, but light.
We ended our Dubai Marina walk by going to this cocktail bar on top of a hotel on the sea wall.
They had “happy hour” until 8pm (called summer sunset at this place).
Got a single (Canadian) shot of Glendfidich 12, and a granny Aperol spritz (which has granny green apple syrup). The vibe and view of this place I definitely recommend. Also good drinks overall.
We tried this Asian fusion restaurant for lunch, which was conveniently located in our hotel in Dubai (Taj Hotel). Service here was excellent.
For drinks got the whisky sour and the Mulin Rouge. Didn’t really like their whisky sour (it wasn’t sweet at all). A friend got a drink with ube infused vodka, which I though my actually tasted good.
For appetizers, they served some Asian chips with some dips (best one was the plum sauce one). We also ordered the shrimp Cheung fun dimsum and the chicken Sui Mai. The former was great, the latter, well let’s just say I prefer it with pork.
For main, got the black cod and the pad Thai. Both were excellent (pad Thai had a bit too much sauce, but didn’t mind it).
Went here for our first meal in Dubai (as we were going to start going around the old area).
To start, we got the Chicken Shawarma Sambousa, and hummus. Both great dishes.
We also tried the Arabic coffee. Fairly strong, and seemed to have a hint of rose water.
For the main, got the chicken bayani. Also great.
Would come back here again. The staff were all very try nice and friendly.
Went to this bar that is right beside our hotel in Doha (it is located in the Alwadi Hotel in Msheireb area).
The view and the music vibe was great (chill house music… more closer to disco house).
For drinks got an Aperol Spritz and Canadian Club
Went here for our last dinner in Doha.
We weren’t that hungry so got the mixed grill, which had lamb, kebabs (lamb), and chicken wings. (This restaurant did not have any beef). The serving size was great for two people sharing a small meal. Would come back here.
We went here for drinks at sunset, but ended up being pleasantly surprised on several levels.
First, this is located in the 2nd building in Doha, and is on the 61st floor that has an excellent view of the Lusail area of Doha, and also a good sunset view.
For drinks, got an Aperol Spritz and a double shot of Canadian Clib (which their shot is close to an American one at 40ml, and at 13.50 USD). Both great.
For food got the Lobster roll. Also really good.
After visiting a mall in Dubai, we decided to check out this restaurant for drinks. It is conveniently located in a Marriott hotel (and you get a 20% discount for being a Marriott Bonvoy Gold member).
For drinks got an Aperol Spritz and a Glenfidech 12 neat.
For appetizers, got the lollipop chicken. Would probably not get that again.
Overall like the vibe and the drinks, so would come back.
Started off the morning by getting breakfast at this restaurant in Souq Waqif.
We ordered the breakfast special, which comes with a variety of dishes (which you’re supposed to eat with some sort of flat bread). Some of the food it comes with includes humans, fried cheese, an omelet of some sort, falafels. and egg mixed with some sort of
I really liked everything (did feel in different to the bean and sour cream/cheese thing though.
Also ordered a latte which tasted better than usual (probably because of the cream), and it was fairly strong.
Went to this place as our first dinner in Qatar, in the Katara Cultural Village.
This was an Armenian and Lebanese restaurant, and all the food was excellent.
For starters we got the Fatayer Spinach and the Lebanese Kebbe (filled with beef). Both really great
For our main, got the Mixed Grill, which had: one skewer each of Awsal (boneless chicken), Havov, Lamb cutlets with two skewers of kafta meat (this is basically a lamb and beef kebab)
