June 23, 2016.Reading time 7 minutes.

I get excited when it comes to Japanese food. Back home, we go to my favourite yakitori bar for a skewer or two with a ice cold glass of umeshu, and frequent the many izakaya bars scattered around town. When we moved to Dubai, I was somewhat disappointed that though there are quite a few […]

Rouge @ Hilton Capital Grand Abu Dhabi

Now we’ve definitely had our minds changed after an amazing […]
