Re: What are you having for lunch, wimps?
Oh yeah, **** trying to do supermarket shopping with a cab. Ball ache central.
Park N Shop is alright, I did a weekly shop at the Jumeirah one to see the fuss and it was more expensive than Waitrose.
Spinneys / Waitrose / Choithrams will always get you decent shit for similar prices.
Carrefour / Geant / Lulu's will get you all the other shit you need nice and cheap...I just think the meat at the other three is better.

It's just generally a bit nicer in Spinneys/Waitrose/Choithrams than Carrefour for example.
I want to open a butchers in Jumeirah. I'd be loaded.

I reckon it's much of a muchness....it struck me as another Carrefour / Lulu / Geant / buy everything your life needs under one roof type store.

Markets & Platers in Marina / Al Sofouh has the best fish, veg and cheese selection in Dubai - amazing Scottish salmon fillet, pin boned etc for 22dhs per 250gm fillets - simply great.
I thought they'd go bust as the fish selection is so good I thought they'd not be able to keep the freshness - but have learned they supply most of the Sheikhs kitchens and this is a retail off shoot - the quality is great.

Prime Gourmet steaks are the best I've found in Dubai.

half way down the road, on the right hand side, if you go from Marina Spinneys towards Barasti / Beach Road. The road is buggered just now as they are working on it so avoid peak traffic times.

ta, the buggered roads are one of the reasons i feel no need to suffer the marina
