Sounds interesting!?! I have the curry packet as well (kinda cheating), but I was looking for the right veggies to put in it, any ideas? I could do chicken or prawns, but need the greens, too! I can do pretty decent Indian dishes (decent for a white-bread Canadian guy) although I am sure there would be plenty of critics! I'd have to do a trial run first....maybe I'll bribe the chef at the previously mentioned BLUE ELEPHANT for his recipe?
Always green beans in a thai curry can do miniature eggplant if you like as well

Teatro (Towers Rotana) - they manage to get most of the dishes right
you gotta be kidding me .. that place SUCKS ! dubaidog Not sure if they qualify as fine dining, as there is no "silver service", but pretty much anything at the Bustan Rotana is good in my books. "The Rodeo" is a little overpriced, but good. Their chicken caesar salad rocks and is a meal in itself (my to-from airport fave). As well the Blue Elephant is excellent and good value if you drink booze. Never had the Benihana, but I am sure it is on par. (maybe I'll try that this weekend) The Asian fusion restaurant (new) in the Burj al Arab is wicked as well. The decor sucks, but the staff are the best around. A little spendy, though. On that note, anyone have a recipe for Thai green curry....I need a fix! The Major Fire & Ice - Raffles Gary Rhodes Mezzanine - G.

1) Benihana has 2 great deals that might interest you:
- Wednesday - seafood teppanyaki buffet.
- Sunday - seafood + meat teppanyaki buffet.
It is all you can eat for 1 hr slot including house wine @ Dh159.
2) I brought back some Thai green curry paste (packet) from Thailand. Since I am feeling generous, do you a deal. You cook I eat. Fit for party of 4. We get to nominate a partner each :lol: Dubaidude007

Not at all, but it is the best one overall that I have been to. The Major You guys have some 'interesting' ideas of 'Fine Dining'................ BabyDoll I concur Concord I think many people associate fine dining with "price" or "decour". Usually people that pay a lot of money for a meal feel obligated to say the food was "great" or "very good" lest they be thought of as fools for paying that kind of money for bad food - specially if the other person is unlikely to dine there. The same applies for the decour of a place - not necessarly "fine" food. While the dining 'experience" can be fine (or refined) I am often dissappointed by the food. Either they are trying too hard or my expectations are too high (anyway the 1-1/2 times I've had "fine" dinning). What's "fine" dining anyway? BabyDoll try Zheng He - thats fine dining in my book Dubaidude007 Are you people saying that have a cup of tea at the local malabari tea stall is not an example of fine dining? :shock: Concord
