Novotel, Al Barsha – Dubai

I’m very happy with the Accor Hotels, and if you have read my earlier posts, you can see that I stayed at Novotel during my visit to Berlin. Also in Dubai we went for the same, and booked a room for 2 at Novotel Al Barsha. There are both the Novotel Suits and the Novotel Hotel in Al Barsha, and we stayed at the hotel. The residents in Dubai also know the hotel Novotel in Al Barsha as the Novotel Tower – fyi.

Bejte Ethiopia, Berlin

One of my friends once told me about Ethiopian food reminding her of tamil food, and to be very tasty. Berlin has several Ethiopian restaurants, and I decided to book a table for dinner at Bejte Ethiopia  in Berlin. As we took the U-Bahn we had some difficulties in finding the restaurant at first, but we somehow managed 😛

Bejte Ethiopia is beautifully decorated, with Ethiopian décor and traditional music. It was an experience itself. The staff is so kind, but we had some difficulties in understanding each other, as they’re not routined in either German or English. But that was actually not a problem at all.

We decided to share a vegetarian plate with Injeras and several curries. The Injera pancakes reminds pretty much of the tamil appam, and the curries are very similar to the Sri Lanka/tamil curries. Spicy and soooooo yummy! The staff even came with extra injeras free of charge 😉

You eat Ethiopian food with your fingers, and I loved to be able to do so. I always feel that food tastes better when eating with your fingers 🙂

We tried several restaurants in Berlin, and Betje was the best experience. I would love to eat here once again. I’ll undoubtedly recommend this place 😉

Zen Restaurant, Berlin

According to Tripadvisor, Zen Restaurant is actually the 2nd best place in Berlin for sushi. ..And I totally agree!

We went for dinner here on our 4th day in Berlin. Once again found it through google, as we were craving for some sushi 😉

The place and it’s atmosphere is just amazing. Very cozy, beautiful and with a smiling and king staff.

I ordered a vegetarian menu, and additionally ordered some veggie crispy sushi too, along with an orange/raspberry lemonade. Loved the lemonade by the way 😉

All in all:

Pleasant and timely service, smiling and kind staff, excellent food with reasonable prices. Highly recommendable.

If you’re a sushi-lover, Zen is indeed a must-visit restaurant! <3

Hello, 2016! :)

Hi lovelies 😉

First of all: Wish you all a very happy & blessed New Year 🙂

I know – I haven’t posted anything on my blog since October last year, it’s been more than 2 months now! Pardon! – have been pretty much stressed and not that much into sharing anything, but now I’m back, hopefully stronger and happier than before – and I’m indeed looking forward to a great year 🙂

The past 6 months have been one hell of challenge, but I’m not giving up, and sure I’ll never do! 😉

Many of us usually pick of on or more useful and worthy new year’s resolutions, and this time I too decided to pick up some:

  • Keep on exercising 3 times a week
  • Read more
  • Keep sharing good stuff
  • Spending more time on creativity/art
  • Not spending too much money 😛

Furthermore, I really love, and appreciate those who are into humanitarian and charity work. As a part of this, I last year became a member of UNICEF. I hope to do more of this kind of charity, and this will definitely be one of my aims too 🙂

Fitness is an important part of my life too, I use to exercise and eat healthy, and I’m surely a practitioner of clean eating, but I’ve troubles in avoiding dairy foods. However, that’s the other side of my lifestyle – according to me, fitness and healthy eating are 2 important things we all should try following, and we find very useful tips everywhere on how to keep on having these kinds of good habits. I too have decided to focus more on eating healthy, so I started this year this way 😉 Many people keeps asking me if it’s not difficult to eat healthy while being a vegetarian, and my answer is: NO!
