 What is it??? by Escadora7
Zataar - a typical lebanese flat-bread, piled up with goodies, folded, and then baked. Our friends ordered meat-filled, which was delicious; hot with cheese melting all over the place (mouth watering from the thought of it). For us, Ash, the local expert, ordered authentic lebanese food; it was, well - WEIRD! (see picture) Leave a Comment

 Happy Corn! by Escadora7
The corn is cooked in big kettles at the cornstands. You place the order according to your taste - flavor choices are:
- Chilli
- Bar-B-Q
- Curry
- Cheese
- Garlic & Salt
- Lemon
- Chicken
- Tomato
The corn is removed from the kettle into a mixing-bowl, butter and flavor-powder are added, stirred up, and served in 3 different sizes. Enjoy!
We tried the corn with cheese-flavor. Tasted a little like maccaroni & cheese, but was tasteful nevertheless. Leave a Comment Theme: Street VendorPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensiveAddress: in most malls and public areasOther Contact: happyyummi@hotmail.com

 Shamiana by Escadora7
This is not really a restaurant, but it is a fast-food place in the Bur Juman food court. You go up to the counter, place your order, and when your number is called you go and pick up the food on a tray, served on plastic plate with plastic utensils.
Not quite the exquisitely fine dining of a top restaurant, but the food is delicious.
Besides the Bur Juman, Shamiana is also at the following locations:
Deira City Centre
Dubai Knowledge Village
Al Reef Mall
Ibn Battuta Mall
Butter Chicken. No - it's not really chicken soaked in butter, but it is chicken in a buttery curry sauce. Served with Naan and rice, this is simply delicious. Leave a Comment

Starbucks is EVERYWHERE - so if you can't survive without your daily dose of coffein - well they are all over Dubai. The coffeeshops look just like all the others around the globe, and offers the same coffees and bakeries.

The Fareast Seafood Market is anything BUT a market. Upscale and elegant, it is located on the second floor of the Regent Palace Hotel in Bur Dubai. What's different about this seafood-restaurant is that you choose your food not from a menu - your waiter/waitress will pick you up from your table and escort you to the fish-bar. There the choices begin: first you pick which fish you will eat (if you are like us without much knowledge about fish, you'll just point and say "That one!"), then you decide how you want your fish prepared (fried, grilled, broiled, etc.). Next you go to the vegetable-bar and pick your veggies straight into a neat little shopping basket. Lastly you decide on the side dishes (rice, noodles, etc.) and how you'd like those prepared. Your waiter/waitress then escorts you back to your table, and brings your pickings to the kitchen for preparation.
While you wait for your food, you get served a huge bowl of French Fries - watch out not to spoil your appetite with those things, since they are extremely filling...but also very tempting. :-)
The restaurant itself is elegant, with a waterfall and a small "stream" containing live goldfish (No, you cannot order these for dinner!). You have to cross the stream using a small wooden bridge to get to the fish bar.
The food was well prepared. We had fish-soup, followed by squid and red snapper with vegetables and glass noodles. All the dishes were extremely tasty.
An absolute MUST is the fruit-flavored ice-tea.

As the name implies, the cafe is built like the London Tower Bridge, suspended in the air, connecting the 3rd floor shopping areas. It's a fun place to have coffee or a snack, to relax from strenous shopping, or to simply sit and watch the hustling and bustling of Lamcy's Plaza, overlooking everything from high up.
The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as cakes, ice-cream, and baked goods.
We just stopped by for an afternoon break and ordered a hot chocolate and a milk-shake, so we really can't comment on the quality of food. What was more fun for us was watching the busy mall - the cafe's location is great!

Tche Tche is one of the local Shisha-cafes that doesn't have a great selection of food (snacks, some arabic dishes, coffees, teas, and fruit juices), but has a huge selection of flavored tobaccos to be smoked in the Shisha-pipe (aka hookah, hubble bubble, or narghile). The atmosphere is relaxed, people play backgammon, chess, chit-chat, or read the paper.
Sidenote: I did soooo win against Ash in our backgammon-game. ( I didn't really remember the rules, and since he had never played, I just made them up as we went along. hehehe!)
We smoked the cherry-flavored tobacco, and it tasted great - even for a non-smoker like me. (I did have a headache from it the next morning though!)

The Bake Inn Cafe consists of a bakery and a restaurant, both designed in "mexican casa" style. Walking in, you will first notice the large glass counter, displaying a huge variety of baked goods, including bread, cakes, and all sorts of goodies.
On the other side is the restaurant, with a cozy and inviting European-style atmosphere and friendly (mostly Filipino and Indian) staff. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner (mostly continental European foods), as well as Croissants, Pizza, and Fatayers.
Overall the restaurant is very inviting, cozy, and clean, with friendly service, and good food.
We had cream of chicken soup and lentil soup, and shared the fish-platter. The food was excellent and plenty for 2.

At first glance we didn't even realize it was a restaurant, but rather thought it was an art store. Paintings all over the walls and floor right by the entrance. What intrigued us to venture further into the place were the couches, which gave it sort of a living-room atmosphere. Upon entering, we found that the restaurant winds all the way around the back, and then outside. We decided to take a table on the terrace outside (tented and airconditioned) amidst a forray of plants, and decorated with more paintings. All the art on display (paintings, lamps, statues, decorations, etc.) is for sale.
If you like to relax after your meal, you can have your coffee and smoke the sheesha. This is definitely a haven of relaxation from the hustling and bustling of the Wafi Mall. The food is good, and the ambiance is great!
Really can't remember what we ate, but we certainly had a great time at the place.
