kitsch cupcakes


i just tasted the most sublime cupcakes ever ! rich & moist, with a frosting that complements it perfectly. they were delicious - not that sickly sweet, artificial, industrial bakery stuff that we only seem to come by. i was really craving good cake & these cupcakes satisfied my craving completely.
the cute little store called kitsch cupcakes is located at villa 611, jumeirah beach road, umm suqeim. the telephone number is 04 395 6963.

also, as monsieur and i love eating out, we're always on the hunt for great places to eat at. we recently stumbled upon an absolute jewel at the souk al bahar (for those of you who are not familiar with it, it's around the corner from burj dubai) - it's a gorgeous japanese restaurant called momotaro. the ambiance is lovely and the food was superb. go there (even if only to see the groovy bottles of mineral water) for a lovely romantic evening or for a classy evening out with friends. the green tea crème brûlée was one of the best i've tasted. the fried ice-cream, however, looks rather like an alien and, depending on the flavour of ice-cream you choose (in keeping with the theme of the evening i chose "green tea ice-cream") tastes like one too !

otherwise, for a funky evening out for light snacks, try qd's at the dubai creek golf & yacht club. it's a jazzy outdoor place that also offers shisha. the food was good and i also particularly enjoyed the cinderella mocktail.
