Weird or wow? Dubai just turned a dessert into a burger
Dubai, the ultra-luxury and food experimentation haven, has done it once more. This time, in the shape of a dessert that's stirring up a storm on the internet. This is the ‘Dubai Chocolate Burger’, a decadent, sweet fusion that's left netizens torn between salivating and screaming "diabetes incoming!"
Developed by Egypt's favorite dessert company ‘B Laban’, this unusual product has finally landed in the UAE and is making waves for the right (and wrong) reasons.
What is the ‘Dubai Chocolate Burger’ Exactly?
Let's dissect it, layer by sinful layer. This is not your average fast-food burger, it's a sweet-tooth's fantasy. Instead of buns, you have soft English cake slices. Filling the sandwich are three textures and tastes:
- Belgian brownie slab for the decadent, fudgy foundation
- Crunchy kunafa for that Middle Eastern golden crunch
- Pistachio mousse to give it nutty, creamy uplift
And because that ain't enough drama on the plate, it's served with a pourable Belgian chocolate dip, so that it's half meal, half performance art.
Price tag and where to find it
This over-the-top dessert is priced at 30 AED, roughly ₹750 INR, and is available across all B Laban outlets in the UAE. Given Dubai’s love for lavish desserts and Instagrammable food, the chocolate burger fits right in with the city’s dessert-first approach to dining.
Social media meltdown: Delicious or too much?
As expected, the internet has Opinions, with a capital "O."
Foodies are going crazy about its gooey textures and opulent presentation. Reels and TikToks of the chocolate-drenched burger are going viral, with the titles "Take my money" and "Dubai never misses.
On the other hand, health-aware individuals are not too happy about it. Posts such as "This is why my sugar levels spike just by watching" and "Looks delicious, but also like a medical emergency" are inundating the posts. It's the age-old instance of eye-candy vs. calorie guilt.
