Crust and Crumbs Oh, it’s been such a long time since we had great pie. There’s a scarcity in Riyadh, for some reason. And it hasn’t caught on like the recent Lotus craze.
58 DESTINATION RIYADH SEPTEMBER 2015
Luckily, Crust and Crumbs changed all that with their lemon meringue pie. Delicious. Absolutely delicious. The lemon base is light and the perfect note of sour, and the crust is a decent size. The only issue we had was the meringue itself, we weren’t a fan as we thought it took away from the creaminess of the lemon base. Delivery was prompt, and the pie was properly packaged. Overall, this jury gives the defendant a resounding yes. Rating Overall: 4.5 crust_and_crumbs
The Pretty Milkshake We have found the prettiest milkshake in all of Riyadh. From the looks of their lotus milkshakes, it turns out that Mol10’s speciality isn’t actually their molten, it’s their shakes. We’re impressed, Mol10, we really are. You really had us tricked there. And the milkshake itself tasted really good, with the right hint of caramelized biscuit and a decent consistency. Just look at this beauty. We are smitten. Smitten, we tell you!
