No problem. And it is the one near the airport, not Mina Seyahi. Suggest you go try out first and let us know if its worth a visit.

I am still curious about Shogun ....

lol. I believe he's referring to "sago't gulaman". Halo-halo has fruits, milk, etc.

OT: I always think Japanese cuisine is the complete opposite of Indian cuisine. Where the latter makes use of several spices (masala), the former is so basic. But I like them both :wink:

OT= off-topic. When you just want to say something which you think is unrelated to the thread topic.

Related or unrelated... I have to say, I am not too keen on Indian food. Spent a month eating Indian style brekkie when I got to Dubai and I still have no idea what half the stuff I ate was...

By the way, what is "sago't Gulaman" and "Halo-Halo"?! :?

Its very easy to get stuck into eating Indian when you just arrived. Especially if you arrived by yourself and dont know anyone. Indian cooked food is within easy access. There are some rather good (and better quality) indian restaurants here, like Rupee Room (Marina Walk), Indian Palace (Ibn Battuta & Garhoud)

Anyone know where I can buy packaged miso soup where you just add hot water?

I've seen both individually packaged and bulk pack ones in Spinneys.

There is also packs of seaweed if you like to add them in your miso.

Still waiting for the Venezuelan Amerindian restaurant to open in Dubai:

Tarantula egg sack omlette
Stone roasted fruit bat
Spit roasted quetzalotl
Wild yam and tapir liver roulade
Capuchin monkey fritters

Yummy!

Shogun is excellent if you can venture out to Deira. At the moment is it not bad - or try going on a Friday evening. The worst case is 45 min for me leaving Lamcy where I live. Bentoya is constantly good for decent food. The one in Ascott Hotel is also high on the list. I think the chef from Kiku has joined a new restaurant called Kikuyu or somehting like that, it is in the Royal Khaleej Palace hotel, again on the Creek, Deira side.
