Gaf's Diary

Happened to peep into 'YUMMY DESERTS DOHA' , a home-based dessert business in Doha, Qatar. ( @Facebook/dessertdoha ). As the name suggests, the desserts are 'Yummy' indeed. The look of the texture of those prepared desserts were so mouth-watering that I ordered 3 of those 'Yummy' delicacies; BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING I have tasted this in many places, but this one is a rare piece. I feel the secret is in the quality of the butter & the richness of the milk used in addition to its perfectly controlled temperature to set it appropriately. Those sugar coated roasted cashews makes this a real delicacy that any dessert lover should taste.

I’m Salman Gaffary Hilmi know as 'GAF', an aspiring entrepreneur with roots in finance and I hail from the hills of Kandy, Sri Lanka. Ever since I was a kid, there were few things which interest me until today and they are: Food, Travelling, Photography, Historical Stories and making friends. Memories are a key aspect in our life which keeps us alive and happy. Like everyone, I have fond childhood memories, an incredible school life, college and then a professional career in Finance.

After almost 2 plus years I had to l...
