No I didn't know that! Interesting. Tell you what, check out Texas Chicken - runs circles around KFC - and their fries rock, plus the purple sauce is amazing.

Yes all the outlets ( and more ) are run by Americana, which in turned in owned by Kuwait food co.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americana_Group

I go on these cycles when I get tired of cooking and go back to ordering in, then I get absolutely of tired eating that and go back to cooking.

Currently tired of cooking ! Just ordered two super supremes today. YUM !

Yeah I'm not what you might call an educated palate. Bite me !

I had some mates over the other night for a music session and we all decided we fancied a good curry, so I ordered from a random menu I found in the drawer from a little place on Diyafah Street. The dude on the phone kept saying yes when I gave him the order but when the food arrived there were all sorts of random pots and containers that were certainly nothing like our order.

Most of it was delicious and I still have absolutely no idea what we had!

Best Fish and Chips I have found (quality vs value) is the Philipino run place at Irish Village. Proper mushy peas and big fat chips perfectly cooked!
There used to be a great place on Sheikh Zayed Road just down from No.1 Tower Suites run by an old boy from Glasgow. They even did deep fried Mars bars! Gone now...sadly!

Hungry now!

We used to go to the pub at Jumeirah Beach Hotel with arniegang and Mrs arniegang for delicious fish and chips with mushy peas and all.

Home made:
butterball turkey (ready to cook frozen), comes with frozen gravy too just toss it in the oven and it'll come perfectly cooked. and serve with bread or potatoes.
pan-fried pork belly covered in salt and msg served with rice :)
sauteed chicken and mushroom pasta, takes like 10 mins to cook and awesome too

resto:
chicken biryani at eat & drink, costs like 7 dhs. and served with salad, papadam, etc..
double cheeseburger at McD's with large fries, and a chicken fillet
arabic shawarma with chips from Beirut resto in KV
mushroom n swiss from burger king, that thing is huge and tastes awesome as well
and this probably once it comes out here (if ever): :mrgreen:

I second the Butterball turkey. And using the left overs for sandwiches - topped with stuffing (homemade of course) and cranberry sauce or just a nice swipe of mayo, salt and pepper. *Note to self: put Butterball turkey on shopping list!!!*

Citywalk has some great new restaurants, and comfortable seating outside. There is this little place you should try: Creamy Rice, delicious rice pudding; great for getting desert.

I like Cheescacke Factory as well for lunch. Big meals, you may not need a dinner :-)
