It’s busy, people are everywhere hustling for a table amongst the jovial sounds of diners chatting, taking photos and otherwise enjoying their meal. This is Bodega - a tiny slice of Manila at Centurian Star Tower in Diera.
From the street to the suite our culinary curiosity has taken us across more than 25 countries and countless cities where we’ve dived head first into what’s on offer.
From hawker stands to Michelin starred restaurants and everything in between our passion for sharing the good life with those close to us sprouts conversation and opportunity.
For this we are eternally grateful.
Thanks for stopping by.
All in Asian Flavors

Don’t you just love it when you stumble upon a place that’s you all over?
We discovered Daikan way back when they first started - before they actually started.
We’ve loved their ramen ever since.
Found in Depachika, Salmontini eschews the luxe stylings of more glamorous and larger Japnaese restaurants to deliver simply outstanding quality sushi and sashimi that won’t break the bank.
When Daikan first opened it was in a kind of temporary arrangement in the old Meatballers joint in the Marina. Finally, after what has seemed like an eternity the fully fledged location is up and running over at Cluster Y in JLT.
While I don’t really go out of my way to frequent chain restaurants, I have to admit the Wagamama dining concept is a good one.
So the great Asian fusion battle begins. In one corner you have the veteran P.F Chang and the gang and in the other - the upstart Mamma Fu. Sitting just doors away from each other in Dubai Festival City you can expect more fire works than DSF and Chinese New Year put together.
Does this place actually need an introduction? Well here’s a little piece of history: Originally founded as a cooking oil retail business in 1958, Din Tai Fung was reborn as a steamed dumpling and noodle restaurant in 1972.
After initially trying to set up in JLT, Daikon has found a semi permanent home in the Marina, where the now defunct Meatballers used to be.
