Trader Vic's

Trader Vic's, the birthplace of Mai Tai is definitely an experience not to be missed.  The newly opened outlet at Dubai Festival city is a cozy hangout with outdoor seating, live cuban music a lovely crew to make you feel like royalty.

The service is perfectly timed and carried out with a smile with every morsel cooked to perfection.

Keep in mind they have a dress code which is casual during lunch, but smart casual during dinner with no flip flops, shorts and sport-wear.

The Kang Pao Chicken was one of the best I've tasted in a while, the chicken cooked tender with celery, capsicum, cashew nuts in chilli sauce with a side dish of rice. The Hammour was perfectly grilled, not too soft and not too crispy served with wasabi mashed potatoes and oyster mushrooms. Even the side of barbecued smoked veggies were impressive, as it took a while for us to figure out that the stuff that looked like shiitake mushrooms were actually eggplant.  

We left feeling very satisfied with rock heavy bellies.
