OKKU - Japanese

OKKU – The H Hotel – Sheikh Zayed Road – Dubai

OKKU is one of the most popular Japanese restaurants in Dubai, although I'm not much of a Japanese Cuisine fan but I have Japanese every now and then, besides - I'm a foodie after all, I had to give it a shot and know what the buzz is all about!

And I can say nothing but - Fantastic food, excellent service, astonishing experience and atmosphere.

 

 

Shiro Bara (left) & Coconut Passion (right) - Refreshing!

 

Mukimi Taraba (Crab Leg) - Delicious

 

Wagyu Gyoza & Ebi Gyoza (Wagyu beef and Shrimps dumplings) - loved the Shrimps more, Wagyu Gyoza is so new to me but both are really good

 

Lobster Harumake (Lobster rolls) - Tasty

 

Hotate Maki (left) & O Ebi Tempura Maki (Right)  Scallops and Shrimps Maki - SO GOOD!

 

Chicken Teriyaki - I'm drooling at the moment LOL

 

Chocolate Fondant - YUM

 

Green Tea Souffle - Totally new to me, it's abit eggy and not as fluffy as it should be, but got a really good green tea flavor, loved the choco dust (can be seen in the picture below) it gave the Souffle a nice touch

ARMANI/AMAL – Indian

ARMANI/AMAL – ARMANI Hotel Dubai – Downtown Burj Khalifa

My first time at AMAL wasn't planned, reserved a table few minutes before reaching Armani Hotel, and ever since I became a regular customer!

AMAL serves what I call "A taste of modern Indian cuisine" it's somewhere between authentic and fusion.  Food is absolutely fantastic, staff is friendly and helpful.

Complimentary appetizer

Stuffed Aubergines

Scallops - amazingly cooked

Chicken Curry & a good selection of breads

Lamb Shank - DELICIOUS

Aftermath *happy tummy*

AMAL's signature dessert - A MUST!
