What chefs eat: This is what Dubai chefs make for comfort meals at home
These Dubai chefs show us what to make when comfort cravings hit… Everyone has their own, personal at-home comfort meal, something they crave for when days get tough, lazy, stressful or rushed, and you just need those soothing powers of familiarity. Comfort meals always hit, always solve your problems, always make things okay. These Dubai chefs whip up innumerable masterpieces every day, but this what they reach for off-duty. Read through for some inspiration. Chef Moon Kyung Soo Moon of Sunset Hospitality What you need: Romaine lettuce, tomatoes, pomegranate molasses After a long day in the kitchen, I love to relax with a simple, refreshing bowl of fattoush. It's light but satisfying, with crunchy romaine, juicy tomatoes, cucumbers, and a tangy kick from sumac and pomegranate molasses. It's easy to make, and I always have the basic vegetables ready to go in the chiller. But fattoush isn't just a salad—it's a simple yet perfect way to de-stress. As a chef , having someone cook for me after work is a rare luxury, so I prefer something quick, refreshing, and light that doesn't disturb my family, especially since I come home late. It's the ideal end to a busy day in the kitchen. @chef_moooon Chef Tiffany Eslick of Tiff's Table What you need: fresh clams, cherry tomatoes, garlic (never enough) After a long day at work, my go-to comfort dish is vongole with linguine. I love the simplicity of fresh clams sautéed with garlic, a generous handful of flat-leaf parsley, and perfectly cooked pasta. Sometimes, I toss in cherry tomatoes for a subtle sweetness, but it's delightful either way. This dish is also my go-to when hosting casual lunches for friends – it's so easy to prepare! When I'm not in the mood to cook, I turn to these local favourites: a nourishing bone broth from Hapi Cafe, a crispy chicken burger from Pickl, a pepperoni pizza from Pitfire, or a decadent slice of dark chocolate cake from Three by Eva. @tiffany_eslick Chef Thomas Duhamel of Odeon What you need: minced veal, vegetables of your choice, Parmesan I love cooking a variety of dishes at home but one that we all love takes me back to my childhood: stuffed tomatoes with minced meat, roasted in the oven with pilaf rice. I use big, juicy tomatoes stuffed with minced veal, finely diced vegetables like onions, carrots, garlic, and mushrooms, along with some Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. I place them in a dish with partially cooked rice, and as they bake in the oven, the juices from the tomatoes and meat mixture are absorbed by the rice. The meat and Parmesan get beautifully browned under the oven's grill, it's so delicious. We even sell ready-to-bake stuffed tomatoes on weekends at ODEON Market! @thomasduhamelchef Chef AJ of Al Naqa Kebab House What you need: chicken stock, romaine lettuce, Lao aromatics To be honest, my at-home comfort meal after a long day at work is more like an extended meal that lasts me a few days. It's my family recipe Chicken Pho. My mother taught me this recipe and it's now me and my family's go-to because it lasts days, depending on how many bowls you eat! It's warm, comforting, and ultra nutritious. Chicken stock with Lao aromatics, a flurry of garnishes like diced tomato, toasted peanuts, fresh chopped red bird chilies, herbs, and more. What separates this Lao style pho from Vietnamese pho is that we include crispy romaine lettuce into the soup so that the greens soak up the broth and become delightful to eat. This is my comfort meal at home, always. @ajsavanh Follow these Dubai chefs for more foodie content… Images: Supplied/Socials > Sign up for FREE to get exclusive updates that you are interested in

Hidden Vietnamese gem with loaded bánh mì, kampung chicken pho & desserts
One of the perks of working at is the opportunity to sniff out new food spots. Heavenly Bread & Desserts is a new Vietnamese eatery that quietly opened in early March, and it would have been completely under my radar if not for a chance sighting of one of their promotional standees at a bus stop I frequent. From the name alone, I would have assumed they specialised in pastries and cakes, but instead they have bánh mì, the incredibly popular Vietnamese sandwich, and other Vietnamese classics. Heavenly Bread & Desserts is located at Block 151 in Serangoon North Avenue 1 – except for 2 tiny tables out front, there's no dine-in space. The menu features 3 different varieties of bánh mì (beef, pork and chicken) and a small selection of desserts. I decided to ask the owner for her recommendations and she recommended I try the Pork Bánh Mì (S$8) and Chicken Pho (S$9), the latter of which was made with kampung chicken as 'kampung chickens taste sweeter and nicer'. I also wanted to try the Vietnamese Spring Rolls (S$7), but they were unfortunately sold out. For the sweet stuff, I asked for Royal BoBo ChaCha (S$6) and Vietnamese Coffee (S$4). 'The bobo chacha has no yam today,' the owner told me. 'I give you for S$5.' I was a little sad because I like yam. The Pork Bánh Mì was stuffed full of tender pork slices, pâté spread, lashings of homemade chilli sauce, pickled vegetables, cold cuts, and coriander. After being assembled, the sandwich was toasted in an oven, which made the bread deliciously crisp and crusty. The pork was a wonderful combination of sweet and savoury, while the pickled vegetables and coriander came together with the other fillings to create a harmonious symphony of flavour. The Vietnamese Coffee was the perfect accompaniment to the bánh mì. I was given a choice of sweetness levels, so I opted for 'less sweet'. (Other renditions of Vietnamese-style coffee I've had have always been far too sweet.) It proved to be the right choice as the coffee's robustness was allowed to shine through instead of being overwhelmed by sugar. The Royal BoBo ChaCha from Heavenly Bread & Desserts came with a slight twist. There was the usual sweet potato and sago pearls suspended in a thickened coconut base, with an additional ingredient I haven't had before – peanuts. They added an extra nutty flavour to the dessert, along with additional crunch. Very enjoyable. The Chicken Pho had the broth packaged separately from the main ingredients. It included a serving of rice noodles, chunks of chicken and generous amounts of coriander, mint and beansprouts. The chicken was quite tasty on its own and very tender, but unfortunately, the chunks I received in my portion consisted mostly of bone. Upon the stall owner's advice, I reheated the broth over the stove. The pho broth was clean-tasting with a flavour that's best described as delicate and gently sweet with chicken goodness. If you're in the neighbourhood, why not drop by Heavenly Bread & Desserts? It really is a little bite of heaven.
