When faced with too many options, go for the newest. Just because it’s new and it deserves a chance.

Ahhh burgers… they don’t go out of trend do they? I was cruising along Dabab Street when this burger place with a futuristic, almost out of this world logo caught my attention.

KFC boasts of 59 glorious years in the industry with over 15,000 outlets in over [...]
Snack trends are entering the consciousness of Riyadh dwellers. First, it was cupcakes. Then frozen yogurt. And now, coffee buns. Roti buns suddenly appeared in Riyadh and as of this moment, there are 3 brands competing for the fame. They can actually be a family if they wanted to. Haha! Anyway, it was Pappa Roti, [...]
