Food Review - Delizioso

-

By now you all know about my love of food. Cheese tops the list with chocolate and Pani puri, so when I was invited to the launch of buffalo mozzarella made right here in the UAE by Italian Dairy Products how could I refuse!

The launch was set against the scenic backdrop of the Al Qasr hotel. The evening started with a boat or dhow ride to Magnolia restaurant. Guest were pampered with good music and ofcource great food all of which were curated with mozzarella. They smoked it, baked it, stuffed it and the people still couldn't get enough. It was while everyone was enjoying the cheesy delights we found out that all the cheese that we were having was not the new Buffalo mozzarella and then the countdown begin to unveil one of the best accidents to happen to man...Mozzarella! 

The sight of the cheese bought everyone flocking to the cheese table which is where I took my first bite into this newly made in the UAE mozzarella and the first thing that came to my mind was MAMA Mia...Delizioso (oh soo good!). The cheese was soo fresh, chewy, stringy and had the right amount of moisture to give it the perfect taste. You can't find that in processed mozzarella in the frozen/dairy section of a supermarket. Luckily for us, the new buffalo mozzarella will be finding its way to the fresh cheese section of  the major supermarkets very soon! I would just eat it raw but you can also season it with some basil and olive oil for that true Italian flavour.

Here is a bit of background about the new Buffalo mozzarella in focus today.. It is made from water buffalo milk imported from the country and region of origin, Campania, in the south of Italy, and, specially made and prepared to preserve all its unique properties with high calcium, vitamins and mineral salts.  Unique for its pearly white colour, its deep and particular taste, smooth and shiny surface with the aroma of the Mediterranean brush.

Italian Dairy Products, they make a wide range of traditional Italian “pasta filata” cheeses like mozzarella, as well as ricotta.

“Pasta Filata” refers to the special characteristics that the Mozzarella curd has of stretching: The Mozzarella curd, when its reach the optimal maturation point, its able in the hot water to became stretchy, stringy, “filante” in Italian, so will have this unique characteristics to be moulded in different shapes, having this elasticity and fibrousness that gives finished mozzarella its remarkable texture.

Food Review - Circle Café

Circle Café has proudly joined the re-invention club and launched a new menu recently and I'm going to give you a low down on how well they scored. Tucked away into the quite Business Bay square in downtown Dubai, Circle Café is a cosy hidden gem. The simple and elegant interiors give a very relaxed home feel which makes the food more enjoyable. Let's get down to business then..First up were the Bagel chips. As the name suggests they were thinly sliced baked Bagel chips served with a Tarama Truffle dip. From the first bite I knew this dish was going to be in my top three for the night. They were so crisp and light that I couldn't stop munching. The zatar type seasoning gave it the perfect amount of subtle flavour. For those with a preference for stronger taste, the dipping sauce gives it a unexpected punch which grows on you with every bite. Next was the Whole Wheat Salmon Pasta followed by the Circle Greek Salad, both of which are healthy options but low on the seas

Food Review - Carluccio's and Bloomsbury Review

 The Dubai Mall has numerous hidden gems and every time I go there I stumble upon something new. A little pop up shop or cafe situated in some corner of the mall can always surprise. The places I tried this week aren't very hidden, but this was the first time I tried them. I did come across a new home store where I've never been before, but today we'll stick to Carluccio's and Bloomsbury. Carluccio's as the name suggest is Italian. You have two seating options, one facing the fountain and the other facing the mall (see image below). The service was friendly and quick considering the fact that it was a Thursday. We ordered two pizzas, a pasta and a salad. The margarita was thin crust, soft, chewy and pretty good. They did not have any options in chicken pizza's so we ordered for grilled chicken topping with our pizza., the result chicken strips on top of the same Margarita pizza. It din't taste bad, cause it still taste the same with just chicken on to
