This was the first mall that I had to stop and say......... ENOUGH..... I had to return a second time to enjoy the rest of the mall....... one word ..... OVERWHELMING....... Dubai should have the motto....... "GO BIG OR GO HOME". This country cannot be denied.....An amazing place to visit.
Hi Pai! As an old Dubai local, an ex food blogger and a subscriber to your channel I have a few random extra pieces of information about the food you tried that you might find interesting: at Arabesq in Dubai Mall, the hot drink you tried is often also called white coffee (even though it has no coffee in it) and is often served as digestif in the afternoon or after dinner. The 'flower' in it is orange blossom water, an ingredient common to desserts and drinks in the Levant (it is currently also a trendy fragrance in British and French perfumeries) . Also the ice cream you had was made with a traditional Levant tree resin/gum called mastiq - its why the ice cream is so chewy (literally cream thickened with gum) and tastes so floral and woodsy. Also , far cheaper tickets for the Burj Khalifa are available online if you pre-book, or else make friends with someone who has an apartment in the building for the personal touch. On your next trip here, I'd also recommend trying some traditional 'down home' Middle Eastern and South Asian specialties in old Dubai and perhaps some camel milk ice cream! xx
I actually feel like chewing and tasting the food as you eat them and described the taste, eating experience and facial expressions. That’s how good you are in what you do! Thank you.
Hi Pai thank you for visiting my second home Dubai. I’m glad that you are having a good time here. I’m one your biggest fan i enjoyed every videos and vlog that you are uploading. I wanted to see you personally and have some pics to cherish. Inshallah in your next visit. Take care and God bless you always
omygosh I lost it at the khoobah hamooth and masgouf TOTALLY LOST IT now i'm jealous that I can't be there *I cri*---but of course nothing against the host :) my mom is from Iraq so when she watched this with video with me--she remembered the good old days and the good food she had growing up :) thanks Pai.
This vdo make me really miss Dubai, which I dnt have chance to back there for more than 10 years.. So many things chance but will beautiful with nice architecture. 👍
Please guys, watch this video while eating something (preferably delicious) cuz you'll feel miserable watching all this amazing food while being hungry! Great video indeed! 🌸🌸🌸🌸❤❤❤💝
Okay. Ur desciption on food is way better than Mark Weins, native English speaker. No offense. I like him too, but urs are better :) love love the video
Dont lie... You just inlove with her lol. I prefer Marks vids more. Atleast he introduces hes guests. Or rather hosts. This woman seems only fixated on herself.
You'll find that tickets for 'View from the top' (Burj Khalifa) are cheaper online and booking well in advance, and not for the prime time hours. I'm glad you enjoyed UAE. Next time if you get the chance to come again, be sure to check out many of the attraction in UAE and Oman.
oh my god. I’ve been to that iraqi restaurant when i visited Dubai not too long ago. I knew it looked so familiar! I had almost everything you ordered and yessss the bread!! ah. it’s divine. i tried that butterfly fish you showed and it was alright, not really something I’d get again lol. and one more thing. the booza/ice cream you had, the guy mentioned that it had sahlab in it, which is orchid root powder. it originated from turkey but it’s illegal(?) to export it out because the immense demand of the product. i dunno, but my point it most ‘non-authentic’ sahlab ( even in some parts of turkey ) use a mix of starches, sugar, and rose or orange blossom water, so that’s possibly why you tasted something floral in the ice cream. ( I had the same one btw lol ). Have you tried eataly in dubai mall?
One very common ingredient is these ice creams is Mastic Mastica or Arabic gum or Tears of Chios (Greece) also used in Turkish/Greek coffee. Please if you could kindly try some recipes with it, now since you have visited the Middleeast. I hope it has inspired you and hope that you will take us to new adventures with food to different parts of our planet. Turkey would be amazing, being the mother of middle eastern foods. Well done, we love your videos. Sawadee khap. Sawadee pee Mai (2018)
Still watching this video though Dubai Mall has been my go-to mall for 5 years as an expat. 😂 Burj Khalifa tickets are priced at 125 AED (+/- 34 USD) per pax if they are booked online or if you are lucky enough to have an available slot when you approach the front desk.
the middle east is amazing. its so sad to see the wars brought forth due to greed and stupid ideologies ravaging it and its people. cool video I need to go back there! :D
Mark wien, another youtube food vlogger, he was in Dubai awhile back. He said you could go on visit dubai website to get cheaper tickets for the tower. Also check out sheikh Mohammed centre for cultural understanding.
It's amazing, thank you for sharing your journey! I went to Dubai too, and found so much of it are big brands and shopping in general. Sadly, when I look at malls today, I am reminded how they are so far away from our natural habitat and how capitalism affects our environment in so many ways. I pretty much think we're screwed as far as climate change.
hi Pai,I was there one month ago and did pretty much the same thing as you expected the Iran food.you gave me a great idea to try out that restaurant next time when I visit Dubai.Im going back to Bangkok to visit my parents ,any suggestions for goof Thai restaurant in Bangkok?Love your video so much and hope to meet you in Toronto one day na ja!
Well I would spend on both I guess... the view and the food. Only if I can afford it. If not, maybe on food. If they have vegan options of course. But I’m sure they do.

كاكا اريد كبة صار لي يمكن ٨ سنين ما ضايكها. تحياتي الك ولكردستان
The Iraqi people love and respect Kurdistan and it's unique cuisine. Altough I don't like Kurdish Ayran 😂😂 Why do you add that smokey flavour to it? 😭

Enjoy the UAE! I love your channel, peace from Saudi Arabia
What can I say WOW
They put the little spoon in the tea not on the soccer means you are stranger, it is Iraqi thing
I hope you enjoyed Iraqi food 😬❤

Ok I’m going to Dubai was wondering where my next trip would take place
Love it all
"sachleb"= orchid bulbs powder
omg!you've been here in uae!!!i'am one of your big big fan and subscriber.when exactly you visited abu Dhabi?
Enjoy your trip and watch out the calories 😍
i thought you'll include the musical/dancing water fountain 😊 still,awesome content!
I would spend $150 on the Burj Khalifa, not often you can say you have been inside the words tallest structure!
You should go for another channel just for blogging! Btw why don't you prepare some of these dishes
It's amazing, thank you for sharing your journey! I went to Dubai too, and found so much of it are big brands and shopping in general.

Marhaba!
When are you going to come to india
hi Pai,I was there one month ago and did pretty much the same thing as you expected the Iran food.you gave me a great idea to try out that restaurant next time when I visit Dubai.Im going back to Bangkok to visit my parents ,any suggestions for goof Thai restaurant in Bangkok?Love your video so much and hope to meet you in Toronto one day na ja!
وينهم جماعة المغرب الي ما يعترفوا بالمطبخ العراقي ورونا الشطارة😂
From now on, I'll use "pailinning" instead of "markwiensing" to describe the emoting of euphoric state caused by tasting delicious food.
Good
WHAT A GASTRONOMIC TRIP THAT WAS PAILIN!!!
Mmmm!!! ALL THE BEST IN THE MIDDLE EAST!!!
Well I would spend on both I guess... the view and the food. Only if I can afford it. If not, maybe on food. If they have vegan options of course. But I’m sure they do.
great video, as are your others. But, why is one part played backwards...with the ppl walking backwards?
Imagine you and Mark Wiens a perfect match
Did you try karak tea? It's like hot spiced Thai tea
So the thick ice cream DID have rose water because it has sahlab as an ingredient, right?
sahlab has nothing to do with rose water. it is ground terrestrial orchid
Pai, who’s your camera person when you go on trips?
💜💙💚💛🧡❤💗
