I am an Emirati foodie who was bit by the travel bug a couple of years ago.
Feel free to recommend your favorite restaurants and hotels for me to review!

All in Food
Loved my weekend trip to Nashville! I had some of the best cronuts and fried chicken ever and enjoyed shopping at the cute boutiques. Of course, I had to try some cowboy boots on and where better to do that than on Broadway where country music is loud and the crowds are rowdy.
I have a bad habit of visiting Canada in the wintertime and although the weather conditions are not ideal (delayed flights anyone?), the locals are always such a joy. My favorite thing about visiting Canada when its freezing is that every local you meet will apologize for the weather! Now thats Canadian kindness at it's best. This week I'll cover my cold trip to Montreal.
I found myself in Oslo with no time to spare and a lot to do. I ended up loving my short time there from the hotel to the performances to the food and the museums, a real city keeps humming on even when it's cold outside.
Just got home from the Mother of the Nation Festival that is running until April 4, 2017 in Abu Dhabi. You can catch my instareview on my instagram story (@pillowsnpotatoes) for the next day or so.
For this post I reviewed Shmokin's, Tawa Bakery, La Maison, Lobstter Roll Boutique IceCream and Yamanote.
Le Petit Chef will be available at The Forge in Abu Dhabi until the end of January. It is a 3D animated cooking demonstration by a mini-chef that appears on your table via a projector and it's quite an experience.
I recently got back from a wonderful East Coast trip of the USA with my best friend and we quickly found out that our love for friend chicken is insatiable so we tried to have as much of it as we possibly could.
I schlepped all the way from Abu Dhabi to Festival City in Dubai to try Serendipity 3 so I was elated when I first laid eyes on the beautiful 6-foot milkshake trees adorning the entrance of the restaurant like lions guarding the gates to the amazing fare I was sure to have.
I have been dying to try The Last Exit ever since I heard about it. Located on the Abu Dhabi-Dubai highway, it is a collection of food trucks- think American food truck stops, but elevated.
I settled on trying three trucks: Poco Loco, The Burger Pit and Urban Seafood. All three happen to be drive thru trucks.
I woke up in San Francisco with nothing on my mind and no plans for the day, which is pretty unusual for me, so I perused Pinterest and settled on staying outdoors for most of the day, taking it easy and just exploring the city.
