A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
We went here for our last meal in Dubai, which has an excellent view of the Dubai fountains.
Kept it pretty light for this meal. Just got an Aperol Spritz, with wings and beef empanadas. Would come back to this place for drinks and the view (food wasn’t bad, but mainly at a bar level quality).
FYI drink pictured below is a friend’s drink which was a cranberry mule. Apparently it wasn’t the greatest, but my drink was fine.
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 checked out this place for brunch in our third day in Mexico City.
We ended up ordering things family style, and asked for their 8 top recommendations. From what they recommended, I would say the fish was great. The shrimp cocktail and the wings were ok. Didn’t really like most of everything else.
Will say that I did like the vibe of the restaurant, but not sure I would come back. Also the mimosas were not too strong.
We came to this place after a day of snowboarding.
For the most part, everything was great here except for one thing.
To start, it got the pornstar martini (peach based drink with a shot of champagne you pour in). This drink was great. Also got a lemon drop.
For appetizers, I got the wings (wings were good, but we had to ask for more sauce. Got the BBQ and something mustard). Also got the poutine (gravy was interesting, but still liked it).
For the main, I got the chicken fingers off the kids menu. I didn’t like them. They were not crispy enough (which is saying something coming from me), and something about them seemed too bland.
So this place is a sorta upscale bar and restaurant.
Cocktails here were pretty good (got a lychee drink, old fashioned and some random lunch, all of which were great).
We also got salute and pepper chicken wings, prawns and pork sliders. All were really good.
We came here for burgers and drinks.
I wasn’t too Hungary, so I just had the cheese fries and wings, plus and old fashion (for happy hour, it was not bad).
Next time I go back I’ll try a burger.
I’m surprised I haven’t posted about this place. Basically we usually go here for happy hour (Monday to Thursday, from 4:30 to 6:30).
For drinks, I usually get the lychee martini ($8 during happy hour).
For the appetizers themselves, I have to say the pot stickers are really good, and so are the wings. The garlic noodles are good (but some people I was with do not agree). The meatballs are ok, but definitely not as good as the potstickers.
We checked out this place as we were strolling around the El Raval / Barri-Gòtic part of Barcelona.
Overall, food and drinks were great. I had the sangria, friends and chicken wings, and all were good. Also, the place was pretty cheap.
This pub I frequented when I was in University. Fortunately, it hasn’t changed for the most part.
We ordered honey garlic wings (they were as big as I remembered), some nachos with chicken, and cheese sticks. The only thing that was off were the cheese sticks (they weren’t mozzarella, but some other cheese).
Also, I got a pint of steins. Almost tasted the same (I thought I could taste the alcohol compared to before. Maybe I’m getting old).
Ended up here on a Friday night. We ordered 4 dishes between two people, which was enough. Overall, the dishes were pretty good, but the portion size was a bit small for the price. However, I’d still come back and order all of the same dishes.
For drinks, I got the Nonna’s Kiss (which was very tasty and sweet, and I like how the texture was a bit foamy/smoothy like), and the midnight fog (it was a tad bit too sweet, but I’d still get it again).
For the dishes, we got the wings (chicken was surprisingly not dry for wings, and the side sauce was good), the summer salad, the spinach dip, and the flat iron steak (got this one medium, which was the right decision).
