Korean

Don’t be surprised, there are Koreans in Dubai as well and they have introduced some authentic way of serving their food. We found this very intimate place in Satwa where they serve very good Korean dishes in very affordable price. In fact, the serve alooot of Kimchi as appetizer and can adjust the level of the spiciness of your food as Korean dishes can be a little too hot for some people.

Haemul Joengol (Mixed Seafood Cooked in Casserole)

Nando’s Peri-Peri
Portuguese

This is one of the first few restaurants that I have visited in my first trip to Dubai back in 2009.  Its a restaurant that reminded me of the long street barbecue (grill) in Davao. Nando’s however made their chicken must interesting by varying the marinade and the dipping sauce/ siding of the chicken that changes the flavor the chicken.

What we had:
Nando’s Chicken Platter

Price: Dhs105.00 (shared by 4)
