Gourdough's


Deep into the night, hungry for sweet fried dough. The big fat donuts truck, Gourdough's, can satisfy your sweet craves and can tempt you to gorge in more sweet grease. They have a great selections of donuts toppings, and their donuts are over the top decadent. They also open late night; perfect for anyone who doesn't care about their waist line and just want to indulge themselves and have sweet dreams afterwards. Well, we enjoyed to excess and humour ourselves with these wonderful donuts for two nights straight. Funky Monkey is my favourite, we also had the Dirty Berry, Son of a Peach, Black Out, and Razzle Dazzle.

Louie Mueller Barbecue



Best brisket I ever had! Louie Mueller's meats are wonderfully moist and glistening with fat! The pork spare rib and the baby back ribs were also lips smacking good, tasted excellent. Their beef ribs were sold out by the time we got there, and didn't get the chance to try them... although my belly already expanded to the max with tasty meat. We ended this indulgent meal with gooey peach cobbler topped with ice-cream. Yum!

El Chilito

Enjoyed the sunny hot days with big crunch chips and salsa, tasty breakfast burritos at El Chilito in Austin.

Happy Camping

Camping was grand with a great board game(Puerto Rico), some meat, air-conditioned cabin, and most of all wonderful company.

Houston BBQ


Just came back from a wonderful gluttonous trip to the South. We begun the trip with some delicious ribs and brisket from Gatlins BBQ when we drove by Houston towards camping. It was great start for a meaty journey and very satisfying. The meat just fell off the bones and melted in my mouth, barely need chewing.  The peach cobbler was pretty good too, gooey, sweet and warm.

Saffron in Atlantis The Palm




The last great meal before leaving Dubai was the buffet at Saffron in Atlantis The Palm, a 5 star hotel. Saffron restaurant is huge, there are many varieties of food mostly Asian cuisines; from oysters bar, to sushi, to Chinese Dim Sum, to Indian curries, Mongolian BBQ and much more. I couldn't try every dish, but I ate until I could barely lift my belly. The desserts section was phenomenal. There was just so much there. I wish I can eat them all, it was a wonderful meal.

Al Iwan at Burj Al Ara



An exquisite buffet of Arabic cuisine at Al Iwan restaurant in Burj Al Ara, the 7 star hotel in Dubai. Lunch is more than 100 $US per person. The place is decorated red and gold with spectacular sea views, and the food is very good. Some desserts are very interesting, tasted something I never had before.

Emirates Palace Hotel, Abu Dhabi



One of the many great meals I had while in UAE was at the 8 stars hotel, Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi. The hotel is gorgeous and is covered with gold! The buffet had a great variety of food, and desserts were fantastic. I had 3 savory plates, and 4 sweet plates, still I didn't try everything. I was so full I had to carry my belly the rest of the day.

A week in UAE and Oman

Been away for more than a week; traveled to Dubai, UAE and Muscat, Oman, and other Emirates. Food there are wonderful, all kinds of fresh salads, chicken and lambs dishes, and hummous. Sweet dates are the local treats.
