Two of my favourite classic dishes, Tiramisu and Banoffee Pie combined together to create an irresistible dessert 😋👌🏻 

Delicious layers of coffee-soaked Italian biscuits, caramel, banana, biscuit crumbs and mascarpone cream, all in one spoonful. It’s literally so good. The flavours compliment each other so well 💗

Welcoming May with a bright yellow watermelon cake 🍉💛 How pretty does that look? 😍

I missed playing around with fruits and I had this watermelon lying around in the house waiting to be sliced so I decided to get a little creative 🥰 

Being creative has always been one of my strengths which I feel I haven’t been polishing much lately. 
The past few months, maybe even years really, I feel like the focus of my content has been following trends and well, that is what gets the most numbers 📈 🤷🏻‍♀️

My entire Instagram explore page is often the same trending topics, recipes, audio… which I feel can be a little overwhelming sometimes. So here’s a little something refreshing, something that makes my soul happy to create 💛 

Making a watermelon cake is such a great way to celebrate any occasion, they look beautiful and everyone can have a slice without worrying about the calories 🤭🍉

I checked out the newly opened @nadalsheba.mall and it looks stunning 🤩 

They are celebrating their opening with complimentary tote bags and more until the 4th of May, so definitely do give them a visit this upcoming week. 

The mall has many of your favourite retailers as well as a large Spinneys outlet and a Union Coop opening soon! 🛒🫐

Their ground floor has some of UAE’s best homegrown cafes/food spots like @home_bakery @parkabakehouse @byganachechocolatier @milkbakery.ae @findsalt and more.

With the weather getting hotter and us wanting to spend more time indoors, this one is a nice, refreshing spot to visit and hang out at 🏬💗

This new spot in Sharjah is trending for all the right reasons. Great for breakfast, lunch or even just to grab a coffee with your choice of viennoiserie 🥐

I loved the large indoor seating area with glass walls, surrounded by greenery making it a bright sun-lit setting with modern interiors 🪴 

The food is freshly made and everything I had was delicious. Plenty of options to choose from 😃 

Here’s what I ordered: 
Tiramisu Latte 29aed
Pistachio Kunafa Croissant 29aed 
PB Sliders 79aed

Additional perks had to be the convenient parking area and a prayer room right next to this bakery 🤲🏻 

📍@parkabakehouse Al Jada, Sharjah

If somebody told me that I’d find the most tranquil cafe with exceptional coffee deep in the mountains, in a place that took us a long bumpy drive and a 15 minute hike to reach, I probably would be a bit skeptical about it…

Well, that was until I visited @anat.cafe in @thesuwgra, a unique accommodation perched on the side of the mountain with beautiful views of the surrounding valley ⛰️

This spot is made for adventure seekers looking to experience a little historical heritage in a modern setting 😍🇴🇲 

I was in awe and this needs to be on your itinerary if you’re planning a trip to Jebal Akhdar-Oman 💗🌳 

Like, save and share this reel with your travel buddies 🚗

Snippets from our Eid break in Jebal Akhdar, Oman 🇴🇲🌹

April being the rose harvesting month in Jebel Akhdar, this is the best time to visit this beautiful place. Spectacular rocky terrain and mountain views wherever you go 😍⛰️

We did a road trip from Dubai which takes about 5-6hrs, and you will require a 4x4 wheeler to get here, so that’s something to keep in mind 😄

Overall, had the loveliest time spent with the family. The weather was pleasant, days were a bit sunny and it got quite chilly in the evenings. 

Literally wondering why we hadn’t gone here sooner, only a few hours away from Dubai and it felt like we time traveled to a different era 🫣🌹

An iftar to remember at the new Sharjah outlet of our favourite downtown brunch spot @hampsteadbakeryandcafe 🤩💗

A great cafe for desserts and casual dining. Their new Secret Menu makes the experience a lot more affordable with delicious items that are exclusive to this Al Jada outlet. 

Here is what we tried from the new menu: 
Chicken Bites (28aed) 
Maple shrimps (35aed)
Pink Pasta (52aed)
Classic chicken burger (35aed) 
Beef Tacos (35aed) 

And for desserts we had the Date Pudding (37aed) and Snowy Bar dessert (37aed). If nothing else, I recommend just going for these desserts because they were too good! 😍👌🏻

Of course while we were here, we could not miss the Tiramisu French Toast and I love their all-day breakfast as well! 💗🍳

Ever since I got my hands on @sunfly.world Sunflower seed butters, I have been dying to try it out 🌻 

I made my Banana Oatmeal Pancakes which is a healthier pancake mix that actually tastes so good 😍🍌🥞 It went really well with these seed butters! 

I love nut butters as it is, but if that is something you or someone you know is allergic to, this is the best alternative to it. These spreads are naturally free of allergens like sesame, soy or any kind of nuts 🥜 

And they do actually taste good 😍👌🏻 I know these are gonna get over in like a week in my house 🫣 

You can find them on @kibsons and at @luluhypermarkets outlets in Dubai

Popping in here to wish you all a beautiful Ramadan. How have your last few days been? 🥰🌙 

Alhamdulillah, the last few fasts have been so easy for me. The first 10 days of Ramadan are considered to be days of Mercy and Blessings so I am really trying to make the most of that. 

If you can, I highly suggest spending lesser time on social media and avoiding distractions while you focus on your spiritual needs. Fill your day with prayer and kindness 💗💗

May Allah guide us towards making the most of this beloved month, and may this Ramadan pave a clearer path for us to reach the highest ranks in Jannah 🌟

Ameen and Remember me in your duas 💗

I don’t believe in “New year, new me” but here’s a little change on my Instagram, from my personal name as the username (Aysha Saiha) to @strawberryinthedesert 🍓🏜️

For those who don’t know, ‘Strawberry in the Desert’ is the name of my little blog which I initially started in 2016 and then pulled it into a proper website in 2020. 

It’s my little corner where I share all my favourite, tried and tested recipes, restaurants/cafes, some of my travel experiences as well as my thoughts on relevant lifestyle topics. 

Personally, change is not something that’s easy for me but this was a transition I have been contemplating for A VERY LONG TIME 💭 

I know some of you have been following me from several years so this change may feel a little different, but it won’t really affect my content much which will remain authentic as always. 

Will see how it goes, if I don’t like it, I can always change it back 😁 Let me know what you think!

A spontaneous dinner at this Italian-Arabic fusion bistro that has been going viral for their Wagyu Sliders and other comfort foods 🤩💓

Located in the Fashion Avenue of Dubai Mall, @bytwobistro has been on my radar ever since it opened up and it did not disappoint 😋

The sliders are delicious, not the biggest portion size but it’s good enough for 2 to share. Love that mushroom sauce and presentation 🍔 

We also ordered the Shrimps Risotto and it really was the best I’ve had, super creamy and rich 🍤 

I still have so much in their menu that I want to try. If you’ve visited, do let me know your recommendations and what I should try in my next visit! 💗
