Tried and Tested: Carluccio’s Deira City Centre

August 25, 2014 by Sheila | A B & Me 2 Comments

We were at Deira City Centre last night for some grocery shopping. We haven’t had dinner yet so we decided to eat at Carluccio’s. This wasn’t my first time to dine in this Italian Cafe and Restaurant and it hasn’t disappointed me just yet. 

Carluccio's

The Vegetable Fries is an instant favorite for A, B and me! It’s a mix of crispy breaded zucchini,  aubergine and red bell pepper.

Here is B enjoying her “fries”. The little one never ceases to amaze me. I thought she would not eat the fries or at least not the bell peppers. But lookie here … She loves the peppers the most!

We also ordered Parmigiana – white pizza of thyme roasted aubergine, Mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses with fresh basil. It was their pizza of the day (night?)

Mr. A ordered Chicken Saltimbocca which is chicken breast with turkey bacon and sage leaves, served with pesto potatoes and rocket leaves.

As for me, I ordered a favorite : Penne Giardiniera. I just can’t get enough of this dish. This dish made me fall in love with zucchini!

Best part of it all, we got a full discount on one item courtesy of the Entertainer App!

The bill is for four people (well, 3 and a half to be precise). While I am happy with the food and service, I think the price is a bit too steep. Amirite?

Hey there! I’m a mom of two who loves to crochet. Balancing work and motherhood is crazy, but I handle it with love and humor. With my eldest entering her tween years, the chaos just got a whole lot more interesting!

I’m fueled by coffee and dream of working from home. When I need to chill, I turn to my trusty essential oils. They’re my secret weapon for staying sane in the madness.

Join me for mom life, crochet, and my journey to work from home and retire before life passes me by.

Hello!

Hey there!
We’re a Filipino family of four figuring things out in California after living in Dubai for years. This space is part blog, part memory box—where we share life lately, parenting wins and fails, travels, and everything in between.

Sometimes it’s deep, sometimes it’s funny, but it’s always honest. Thanks for hanging out with us!

I’ve been thinking a lot about the whole “YOLO I’ve been thinking a lot about the whole “YOLO” mindset. It sounds fun — and sometimes it IS harmless. But when we let it guide our decisions without pause… it can turn into a habit of acting first, thinking later. 

This post is just something I made to process that idea. What if we shifted from the YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE to YOU ONLY DIE ONCE? 

It’s not being a buzzkill. It’s about modeling self-control, delayed gratification, and faith in action—even when it’s not popular. 

What do you think: YOLO or YODO?

Ps. I shared more of the story behind this thought over on @threads if you’re curious (same handle!)
