I’m what you would call a ‘Nomad’ and my current stint living in Saudi Arabia is the longest I’ve stayed in one place. I’m someone who hasn’t had the time to establish his roots in one particular country, moving around in search of better opportunities and at the same time being exposed to different cultures and their cuisine.
Food has always fascinated me and coming from a south Indian household, I surprisingly had a penchant for trying out new fares that were outside most people’s comfort zone. I have lived in London, Dubai, and Saudi Arabia for a number of years and traveled to Thailand a few times purely to satisfy my obsession with Thai food.
I have also traveled to the Philippines, Netherlands, and Mauritius learning a bit more about food and how it brings people together. I am a mere fledgling when it comes to food and culture but I certainly won’t remain one for long.
I live by the motto ‘Exploring Culture through Food’.
My reviews have been featured on the Saudi Tourism website ‘Visit Saudi‘, ‘Destination KSA Magazine‘ & ‘Weekender Bahrain Newspaper‘
I am currently based in the city of Dammam and review local eateries in Khobar, Dammam & Qatif but I have also traveled to the bigger cities of Riyadh & Jeddah. If you plan on visiting the kingdom and happen to visit the Eastern Province, don’t be afraid to hit me up!
