IN PARTNERSHIP: Miss Tess, located on the third floor of the luxurious Taj Dubai, offers a dining experience that goes beyond the ordinary. It's not just a meal; it's a vibrant exploration of Asian culture and cuisine, a journey for the senses that reimagines classic flavors with a contemporary twist. This isn't your typical Asian restaurant; Miss Tess aims to transport guests to the heart of Asia, one delectable dish at a time.
From the fiery depths of contemporary Chinese cuisine to the delicate artistry of traditional Japanese fare and the aromatic wonders of globally-loved Thai food, Miss Tess offers a curated selection of dishes that represent the best of the continent. The chefs at Miss Tess are passionate about using fresh, locally sourced ingredients whenever possible, combining them with innovative cooking techniques to create culinary masterpieces.
The menu is a testament to this dedication to culinary excellence. Guests can embark on a gastronomic adventure, exploring signature creations like expertly prepared Robata, delicate and flavorful sushi rolls, and rich, aromatic Thai curries. The Robata grill, a Japanese charcoal grill, imparts a unique smoky flavor to meats, seafood, and vegetables, adding another layer of complexity to the dining experience. For those seeking lighter fare, the sushi rolls are crafted with precision and artistry, showcasing the freshest seafood and finest ingredients. And, of course, no exploration of Asian cuisine would be complete without indulging in the vibrant flavors of Thai curries, each one a symphony of spices and aromas. Miss Tess also caters to a variety of dietary needs, offering a diverse selection of vegetarian and vegan options that are just as flavorful and exciting as their meat-based counterparts.
Beyond the exceptional food, Miss Tess also boasts an inventive cocktail menu that perfectly complements the culinary offerings. The mixologists at the restaurant have captured the essence of Asian mixology, crafting handcrafted concoctions that are as visually stunning as they are delicious. Whether you're intrigued by the exotic notes of the 'Geisha' cocktail or prefer a classic with an Asian twist, the drinks menu offers something to tantalize every palate. For those who prefer non-alcoholic beverages, Miss Tess also features a curated selection Asian-inspired teas, and refreshing mocktails.
The ambiance at Miss Tess is as carefully curated as the menu itself. Every detail, from the décor to the music, is thoughtfully designed to immerse guests in a unique gastronomic mosaic. The restaurant's atmosphere is vibrant and energetic, creating a sense of excitement and anticipation.

Japan's 400,000-follower 'Insta-gran' dies aged 97
A Japanese great-grandmother with 400,000 Instagram followers who shot to fame for her goofy self-portraits after taking up photography aged 72 has died, her son said. Kimiko Nishimoto, who died this week at the age of 97, told AFP in a 2018 interview that "you can take photos no matter how old you get." "Wherever it is, in your house, outside, or in your bed, you can do it. That is the nice thing about a camera," she said. Dubbed the "selfie queen" by Japanese media, Nishimoto's posts showed her in various candid poses — from riding a broom like Harry Potter to imitating an off-duty sumo wrestler on their fifth beer of the night. "Our mother always created her work with a smile," a post from her son Kazutami Nishimoto said on her Instagram account. Kimiko Nishimoto poses next to a picture of her on the sliding window of her house in the western Japanese city of Kumamoto. File / AFP "We are deeply grateful to everyone who visited her photography exhibitions held across the country, to those who shared warm words of encouragement through Instagram... and to all who supported her warmly throughout her journey." Nishimoto's son teaches photography classes, which his mother started taking in retirement. "Though she began photography at the age of 72, she was blessed with countless encounters, which enriched this third chapter of her life tremendously," he said. Nishimoto appeared on national television as her online following grew and was interviewed by major news outlets. But her more out-there visual scenarios were also the cause of some confusion over the years. One snap — showing her wrapped in a garbage bag, as if she had been discarded — drew criticism from people who didn't know she was involved in its set-up. "It's not like ideas just suddenly pop into my head but wherever I go I think about what it would be fun to dress up as in that place," she said in 2018. Agence France-Presse
