Pretzel World at La Mer, Dubai

ABBEY: We dined in Pretzels World at La Mer. They boast that their pretzels are baked not fried. They can guarantee it. Why? They will roll it, garnish it, and bake it in front of you. 

I was so happy when the pastry chef is putting cheese on the pretzel. It was soft, delicious and best partnered with coffee.

WILL: NEM Middle East Team is so generous to lend us their valuable time to roam us around at Dubai. They picked us up at Dubai Mall after our breakfast at The Cafe - Burj Khalifa and straight away went to La Mer. 

Now, it became a reality. The photos I am seeing only in Social Media is now just before my eyes. It feels that I am not in a UAE, it feels that I am in USA! Haha! 

There’s a huge array of food selection and because we are too early, few stores are open and one of those is Pretzel World. Team had the breakfast. 

I ordered of course, cheese— pretzel and a hot water. The dough and cheese is not a bad thing. Gosh! Cheese is bubbling and melting in front of us. You order, they bake. It is chewy and not an airy dough. This is a real hit to children and child-at-heart.

Interesting Stash We Found Only in Mustafa Centre

ABBEY: It’s very rare that we visit Mustafa as that is way too far from home. You need to plan going there. I insisted that we go there as I tasted a muruku and my colleague told me that it was from Mustafa. Then our quest began. Mustafa is full of knick-knacks and there are items that we wanted to try. So aside from the muruku, we also got the following:

1. bhakarwadi - this maybe called the Indian counterpart of Combos. I didn’t read the label thoroughly so I got mini version of the snack.

2.  A bottle of camel’s milk - this has a strong ghee-milk taste

3. Snickers chocolate drink - yes, this exists. Have you ever wonder what if the middle chocolate in the bar got liquified? Try it then you’ll know.

4. Mars protein shake - taste like my usual protein shake. Not too sweet that is overwhelming.

5. Almond milk - we mixed our almond milk to our smoothie to give it a nutty taste.

Mustafa Centre Singapore - Snickers Shake

Mustafa Centre Singapore - Camelicious Camel Milk

WILL: We roam around and got fascinated with not so familiar food around the shelves of Mustafa. We  bought some for us to taste. 

Camelicious' Camel Milk, this the most expensive milk I ever have. It costs us S$6.40 for 250mL. Abbey doesn’t like it, but I do. The richness of milk is there. It seems that I am drinking it right after extracting it out of the camel. Buttery and creamy. Yum. 

It reminds me of my childhood chocolate drink -- Magnolia Chocolate that was stored in a 1L glass. You will long for the extra sweetness but Snickers Shake won't give you that. Haha. 

Almond Milk was blended with our smoothies, it goes well with the fruits. The taste alone? A sting of almond. 


We will visit Mustafa again and that is for sure. Looking forward to see more new and exciting food.
