Dubai
City Moon Café
Near Kuwait Rd.
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Owned by Siti Fatimah Osman, a transplant from Singapore, City Moon Café is a gathering spot for the Singaporean population in Dubai. The small, unassuming restaurant serves a selection of Osman's native fare, including nasi lemak, coconut rice with chicken curry, and kwey teow, a dish composed of stir-fried rice noodles. All dishes are complemented by the house specialty iced lemon tea. Ice kacang, a shaved ice concoction with red beans, corn kernels, coconut milk, and peanuts is served for dessert.
Insider Tip:
The restaurant only has five tables and ventilation is less than effective, so prepare to wait and dress accordingly.
