Pappa Roti goes big: second much larger unit in Dubai Mall

Fans of the "king of all buns" can now rejoice, no longer will you have to wait for what seems like an eternity for a table at Dubai Malls favourite coffee bun outlet. The aroma and taste of which has converted even the hardcore of naysayers into fans, as they have just opened a second store at the Mall.  

The new Pappa Roti is located on the third floor, right opposite Hamleys. No word as yet if they will be closing their original spot near the ice rink, but it seems highly doubtful.

If you haven't yet tasted this delicious bun and would like to know more, check out the excellent write up at Fork It Over Dubai.

Pierre Hermé launches in Dubai

Pierre Hermé, the famed French patisserie has launched its first unit in Dubai. It seems, only a couple days ago.

Located on the ground floor of Galeries Lafayette they are currently serving up their extremely popular macarons and chocolates, but expect more to pop up soon if the statement from Tatweer Investments (their local partner) a couple months ago to the National is anything to go by.

Being a huge fan of their Salted Caramel macarons this came as pleasant surprise as I was walking around Dubai Mall, having fond memories of devouring them by the dozen in Paris. Here's hoping it's not long before they add their highly regarded pastries to the menu in Dubai as well.

If you like Macarons, get down there and try it out now - you wont be disappointed.
