Among all-time favorite dishes Pinoys grew up with back home is the famous Pesang Isda – a fish-in-ginger-lemon grass-and-tomato stew that definitely goes well with piping hot steamed rice and chopped labuyo in a little fish sauce.
If you happen to be in Deira’s Rigga area on a Thursday night, looking for a place to dine before you start partying for the weekend, you might want to drop in at Liwan Restaurant, the all-day dining destination at Al Ghurair Arjaan & Al Ghurair Rayhaan by Rotana.
Why? The place turns into a celebration of epicurean seafood delight!
From live barbecue stations teeming with shrimps, calamari and other fresh catch to, yes, Pesang Hammour – now that’s something you don’t often see in most Pinoy restaurants.
The rotating menu also includes Seafood Paella and Ceviche, for what to Pinoys would be a variation of the old fashioned Kinilaw.
The cavernous Liwan Restaurant is also cozy and exudes an air of privacy one doesn’t usually get to enjoy in most dining spots across Dubai on busy Thursday evenings, when the city just go gaga for a night spot to cap another long busy week.
Seafood Delight Dinner starts at Dh159. Doors open 7pm. (Jojo Dass)
