Dining Out

A pan Asian brunch experience, an authentic Armenian lunch, and an unparalleled authentic Japanese dining experience.

Blue Seafood Asia

The interiors are fully in theme with the concept as a swanky, upmarket venue with live entertainment, from the moment you step in, there is a fresh fish display with sea bass, lobster, red snapper, and more, to be cooked to your preference. We experienced their unlimited Azure Brunch, which is served to the table and includes sushi, salads, raw bar, hot appetizers, mains, and desserts. There were three kinds of fresh sushi served—the cheese avocado roll, the shrimp tempura, and the California roll, alongside a platter of fresh salmon and tuna nigiri. There is also fish carpaccio, served with a black netting and was delicately flavored, while the mix Wakame salad we reordered multiple times was delicious, with a goma sesame dressing, mixed lettuce, seaweed, kombu pickled red radish, and green apple. There is a dim sum basket which included crystal veg dumplings and beef truffle dumplings; served with three delectable dipping sauces. There are some diverse hot appetizers, also; the platter included Charsiu spring rolls with sweet chilli sauce, mint and coriander, prawn on lemongrass satay topped with a heady peanut sauce, and crispy tofu balls with sweet bean glaze, and armesan furikake, sesame seeds, and spring onion. Also, the prawn sumai served with a sweet chilli sauce was loaded in flavor, while the spring rolls were superb. The prawn nori tempura with Thai mayonnaise, and finally, a family favorite—chicken satay with a Thai peanut sauce was especially delicious. The mains are sharing style, so we tucked into fish in Thai green curry, which was soulful and creamy, perfectly fitting with the steamed jasmine rice. We also enjoyed the Singaporean chili prawns, served with fried buns and a delectable spicy sauce. The three sides included kimchi fried rice, crispy baby potato, and grilled sweet corn. There were three desserts, including the chocolate mousse, the fresh fruits and sorbet, and my favorite, the mango tiramisu, which took me back to my childhood.

Batchig, Dubai

Following the success of Batchig’s branches in Yerevan, Lebanon, and Riyadh, this venue is unique to Dubai as it offers homestyle Armenian and Lebanese cooking. The menu offers an array of Armenian Lebanese specialties and is now making Armenian mezze popular in Dubai. The menu is divided between salads, cold mezze, hot mezze, mains and desserts with a very Armenian ambiance with plates on the walls and a gorgeous al fresco seating area to enjoy the views. From the cold starters, some standouts included Itch; a classic vegan Armenian salad made of bulgur wheat and tomatoes, Mouhammara, though a favorite for us, this was served differently in small bundles with an oilive oil dip, then the Vospov Keufte, the Armentina lentil kebbe topped with tomato and onion salad, then our favorite from these, Batchig’s Tajen; a fish filled sesame paste with black raisins, that had a mild, but heady flavor. The Bosterma was another classic Armenian dish we enjoyed with its moreish Armenian smoked beef slices. From the hot mezze, the batata harira is always a favorite, in addition to the Batchig fried sticks; with basturma and cheese with labneh and black olives. From the mains, we enjoyed Sojouk, a pot with fresh tomatoes and bell peppers, and the kebob karaz, also known as cherry kebabs, a mixture of spiced ground meat with spices, onion and parsley that is cooked, then simmered again in a tangy, sweet and slightly sour cherry sauce. And finally, Batchig’s feast—a mixed platter of shish tawouk, lamb chops, and kebobs. After all of this, we barely had room for dessert, but the Armenian and Lebanese classics looked too good to miss; so we loved the classic Armenian Tahinov Hats, a mouth-watering cinnamon and tahini pastry baked in the oven served with vanilla ice-cream. Then the classic Aish El Saray was another treat, with caramelized breadcrumbs, topped with fresh ashteh and sliced pistachios.

Matsuri Brunch at Gonpachi

The iconic Tokyo-based Kill Bill Restaurant has finally made its way to Dubai, particularly famous for its scene in Quentin Tarantino’s 2004 film Kill Bill. This slick upmarket Japanese restaurant serves an authentic Japanese brunch on Saturdays, with a selection of starters, choice of mains, and desserts, with plenty of mocktails and mojitos. With upbeat music, wooden tables, granite floors, and high ceilings, large artwork and open kitchen, the first starters included salty and spicy edamame, followed by Kinoko salad which we ordered twice and loved, with the sesame sauce, and dried mushrooms. The Yellowtail jalapenos was raw, and very fresh. Then the assortment of tempura, with asparagus, eggplant, and mushrooms, served with ginger and soy sauce, which we mixed and enjoyed. Then the crunchy popcorn shrimp, which was our favorite and then the robata skewer, which was teriyaki on skewers. The sushi platter was served molecular gastronomy style on a large wooden boat, with tuna and salmon nigiri as well as fresh sushi. The showstopper was the famous Japanese delicacy Unangi Meshi which was made in front of us, which translates as hot rice with grilled eel served in a clay bowl with the broth and sauces poured atop the rice with the delicate eel on top, Our desserts were light, starting with the unique pumpkin zenzai, a milky pudding with red beans, topped with vanilla ice-cream; the soft chocolaty brownie topped with ice- cream, and the seasonal fruits platter on ice which rounded our experience very nicely.
