Mousse Tarts - Dhs 24 - ICONS Cafe - Souk Al Bahar - Dubai Mall











Sticky chocolate cake - Dhs 26/piece


Icons: A cafe who proclaims to have guilt-free items on their table. They use only natural sweetener which adds no calories.

Of course when you look at the picture above it doesn't look like it can maintain such low calories.
I tried a few of their cakes and coffee. Out of the cakes my favorite was Choco Mousse Tart - Dhs 24/piece and from the drinks I enjoyed the Hot chocoloco - Dhs 18(regular size). Sticky chocolate cake was the most attractive looking cake but unfortunately since it's made from organic sweeteners it doesn't reach the expectation of a chocoholic. There is a layer of chocolate lava hidden inside this sticky chocolate cake which gave me a surprise.

I've tried almost all their possible tarts starting from strawberry, choco and yoghurt. All their short biscuit tarts is good and you tend to eat more thinking the fact it's less in calories. I'd say if i am visiting here again I will be ordering their tarts for sure. My 5 year old son enjoyed the snow white frappe - Dhs 21(regular size)
For Hot drinks there is an additional benefit having at Icons as you get to choose the kind of milk you need like skimmed, low fat, full fat, Soya or Organic which is an option you don't find at other cafes. Besides coffee they also have protein drinks with fruits at price range of Dhs 19 - Dhs 25.

Signature by Sanjeev Kapoor, Melia hotel BurDubai











Unveiling of their new Signature menu


Thanks to my blog I finally got to meet Mr. Sanjeev Kapoor at Signature Restaurant located in Melia hotel, BurDubai. It was an event held on the launch of their new menu. We were welcomed by the Indian traditions at the door. Items that night can be categorized into 2 types. VIP and Ordinary.


VIP - Those items that were like celebrities. They make a grand entry and as soon as they are out you see a whole bunch of crowd surrounding it. If you came in late they were already gone. Items would be those coming from the charcoal grills. Tandoori Balchao Prawn was my favourite in here which came thick, King size and juicy. 


Ordinary -  Those items that were like a common man where you find in abundance around you and nobody was concerned about them getting over. Items would be like Dahi Wada, Dhokla, Punjabi Samosa ..etc.


All their desserts were interesting and you could enjoy each one of them. Signature Triology shots was new to me and was a little different and the phirnee was lovely.  Below are those few items for your eyes. Sorry I didn't get any pricing this time from their menu. I hope I got the names correct.
