Dubai's Top Culturally Infused Sushi Experience

Wandering the streets of Al Barsha, we came across a small sushi outlet that was nice and bright called Moshi. Looking in you see a busy kitchen and tables full of diverse customers.

But this is not your typical Sushi restaurant, the minute you walk in you are greeted with the most warmest welcome.

Browsing through the menu, I was amazed at how culturally infused the items were. Falafel sushi? Omani chip sushi? Green thai sushi?? What was this place all about...

On arrival I was completely spoilt with my own lemon mint mason jar personalised with my Instagram name! 

ATMOSPHERE: Nice and cosy! Great little lunch spot where you can sit and dine or order take-away. The plates are colour co-ordinated according to vegetarian or non-vegetarian dishes, which is a nice touch.

HEALTHY OPTIONS TO ORDER:

- Sashimi (a given at any sushi outlet)

- Momo

Chicken & Spinach, Veggie mix

- Veg

Mushroom and Asparagus, Cucumber and Avocado

Vege noodles (these are hand made in store, I am not a noodle fan but my gosh these tasted amazing! I just asked for the sauce on the side.

- Non Veg

Chicken Teriyaki, Salmon Teriyaki, Tuna/Salmon (both regular and spicy taste delicious with raw Tuna being my favourite),Prawn Tempura (ask for a regular and sauce on side).

-  Juices

Apple/Carrot freshly squeezed juice, Lemon mint (ask for no sugar syrup)

Desserts

Peanut Butter and Dark chocolate bars! OMG these were amazing and there is no added sugar, I had to control myself.

MUST TRY

Nutella Maki - Ok clearly these aren't so healthy but definitely a must try!

Omani Chips - I'm generally not a fan of chips but these tasted strangely delicious and I found the concept quite interesting.

Falafel Sushi - These tasted ridiculously similar to a falafel! I did not expect it to taste this good.

SERVICE: One of the most warm welcoming restaurants I have ever been to in Dubai. The lovely manager Khush and chefs are extremely attentive and also looking at ways to better improve your experience and quality of food. Will definitely be back and I hope you too experience this outlet.

I also loved the fact that they are involved with "Pending Meals" - God bless anyone that gives back to the community. 5% of your bill goes towards providing meals to the construction workers.

5 Tips to get you back on track to eating healthy

We’ve all been there.

Eating our nourishing food on a daily basis and feeling more inspired than ever. Shopping, cooking, prepping, training… it’s all going well.  Then, something happens… schedule gets busier than usual, you're unwell, social pressure to eat, maybe stress, personal events or whatever it may be. You slip up and eat some biscuits, cake, ice-cream, processed food and then you eat some more biscuits, cake, ice-cream, processed foods to the extent where you're full, bloated yet still manage to force down all that sugary goodness.

Oh no!

Panic mode!

Negative self talk kicking in!

Fat already bulging!

That's it! It's over, you've screwed up, you've ruined everything!?

However...   It doesn’t have to be like that.


Here are 5 tips that pushed me back on track to nourish my body with food.


1.  Give yourself a break.
The food you are eating now is still probably better than how you used to eat. I never used to pay attention to food as much as I do now,  eating so much more vegetables than I used to and cooking at home more than not. I’m still way better off than I was before I started investing in my health.
Potato fries (omg my fav) are OK once in a while.
I apply the 80/20 (also used in marketing), to my food as it's a simple rule to follow.
80% real food still allows for 20% of that other stuff. Yes delicious nasty stuff hehe

2. Morning Cardio
Get out of bed and kick start your day with some cardio. Slow steady state, to allow yourself to mentally unwind from all the negative thoughts you fed yourself those day you went off track. Continually think positive thoughts and remind yourself you have a CHOICE, a choice to make better choices.

3.  Drink lemon water. 
Water will start to cleanse the chemicals from your body.  Hydration is also the key to feeling satisfied when eating.  Many times we think we are hungry, when really those feelings are our body telling us we need to be hydrated.

4. Confess to a friend
This is an interesting one. I always found that when I openly spoke about my self-destructive behaviour I somewhat felt more responsible for my actions and they too reminded me of what I stood for. I would organise to meet for lunch and choose healthy options at the restaurant, doing something to get me exciting about eating wholesome food again.

5.  Don’t give up!
So you had a bad day, weekend, or even a month.  It’s not how you eat sometimes that matters.  It’s how you eat the majority of the time.  Keep at it it, it will become habit again.  You CAN do this! Take it one meal at a time.


Getting back on track is as simple as falling off! You can also view my previous blog on tips to train your brain to think positive.
