Yay another fellow kiwi in town !!!

Yay another fellow kiwi in town !!!

I think I would rather commit sepeku than face the traffic.

For the love of food. I can drive you. My car can fit in 4 more people. And the boot can probably take another 2 if you dont mind swatting!

I tried the sashimi in that place near irish village and it wasn't fresh anymore. That's why I don't trust conveyor-belt sushi.. you'll never know how long it has been going around on there.

Gosh I had lots of sashimi the other night. Thank goodness I didnt feel queezie.

I am eager to try Kiku. Heard that its good.

Kiku is excellent and has always been a firm favorite of the Japanese community here in Dubai. I knew the head chef quite well, used to teach his son. And the Japanese teachers would always go to Kiku. That chef has left now but I have heard that the quality of the food and service is still the sam...

The food was ok although I have a suspicion one of my friends did not enjoy her food but was too polite to say so (I think). I always ignore the "decor' at a restaurant as food should take precedence but at this place the sitting area for other than teppan stuff was an after thought. Essential...

I hate reading news like that. Urgh !!!

Benazir Bhutto was born on June 21, 1953, into a wealthy landowning family. Her father, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, founded the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) and was president and later prime minister of Pakistan from 1971 to 1977. After gaining degrees in politics at Harvard and Oxford universities, she r...

Mention food and I will move faster than lightning... Where is this Tokyo on the rock? are they the ones that do Shabu shabu or is that the Philippino place? Ha ha Touche ! There are 2 Tokyo on the Rocks. 1) In Garhoud, in the row of shops near the Irish Village. Suggest you take a Thai massage nex...

I have also noticed turn left when traffic is clear sign at the traffic light. Am always puzzled about it but I decided to abide to the traffic LIGHT itself.

Its in Le Meridien, so one would assume yes.

You wish !

studstar wrote:[thanks,, im not so familiar with the place thats why

No problem. And it is the one near the airport, not Mina Seyahi. Suggest you go try out first and let us know if its worth a visit.

I am still curious about Shogun ....

Quite an interesting post RVP. For eg, the Military still owns a large chunk of Vietnam, China, Russia and the list goes on. Military empowerment = communism. Although I dont disagree with military regime, you do need a pro business leader for prosperity.

Whats OT and how does Indian cuisine become part of the thread?

Anyone knows any restaurant that serve good crabs? And I dont mean salt water crab. Preferbly Sri Lankan crabs. Thanks!

Who drives a black Cayenne plate no I 70036 ?? Offences as follows: 1) threw litter outside of her car while stopping at the traffic light 2) charged out from a T junction, potentially causing accident to on going traffic 3) spoke on the mobile phone within hands free 4) turn without signalling - tw...

There are some nice restaurants in Bur Dubai.. They serve some tasty Goan style Crab in Casa De Goa - Palm beach rotatna inn, Bur Dubai The place is small and Goan. A purpose-built ambience, nice service and normal prices for drinks n food. Good place if u are a curry freak..I love the food there. ...

Its Sri Lankan crab. So you can still cook it in whatever ways you fancy. Sri Lankan crabs are juicier and have...

Tsk ! Is your plate no I70036???

You are right. Talking on mobile, carrying their babies etc are common here. However, its my first to see someone throwing rubbish out of their car !!

Related or unrelated... I have to say, I am not too keen on Indian food. Spent a month eating Indian style brekkie when I got to Dubai and I still have no idea what half the stuff I ate was... By the way, what is "sago't Gulaman" and "Halo-Halo"?! :? Its very easy to get stuck i...
