A lot of us can’t face the day without first facing a cup of coffee. But what if that coffee featured a famous face — perhaps even our own?
Special stencils for commercial coffee machines now mean your latte can feature just about any design. And in Dubai — where else — you can see yourself, or your favourite photo, in your cup the day after emailing an attachment to the barista.
Tub of Butter restaurant in Sheikh Zayed Road is the place to go for this service. You can see some examples on Instagram at @tubofbutterdxb
While in Dubai, you might also want to sample the latest in gastronomic excellence the United Arab Emirates has to offer: the Burger Khalifa, at Firebird Diner, which will set you back about US$135.
It’s a burger meant to be inspired by Dubai’s iconic Burj Khalifa, which at the time of writing is possibly the world’s tallest building. It (the burger, not the building) is described as “a giant sandwich with two double US prime Creekstone beef burgers with lobster tail, egg, cheese, truffle aioli and foie gras”.
The National newspaper has a photo gallery of other expensive (but largely unnecessary) food items here.
