On 15 Feb 2010 after the article in Emararatalyoum news paper everyone started talking about this upcoming Emirati bakery that will serve traditional sweets and pastry based on recipes from here and the rest of the Arabian Gulf.
An idea developed by Zeinab Al Hashemi, Dibs & Dips will give a new twist to something old and also create an awareness to the Emirati culture through food. The bite sized versions of traditiontal sweets and savouries, like chabab (pancake), khameer (flatbread filled by sugar and date paste) and luqaimat (a local version of doughnut) will be served with an option of dips like dibs (dark honey with a molasses like texture), jam, cheese and many more.
NOW
As a teaser, there will be a free tasting event this Saturday 20 FEB 2010 at Art Connection and Zeinab will be present to get feedback and answer any questions. She still doesn’t have a permanent location to set up the bakery, but is currently operating from a kitchen/café in Bastakiya, taking delivery and outside catering orders.
