The ideal cookie combines a chewy, moist, flavorsome filling with a crunch on the outside.
Saudi brand Got Cookie doesn’t disappoint. It offers classic cookies that strike that perfect balance.
You can select from a wide range of mouthwatering handmade cookies — from a rich chocolate cookie filled with more melting chocolate to regular cookie dough filled with chocolate chips. Not too chewy, not too hard, the cookies are large — American-style — and the gooey cookie dough is freshly baked to perfection.
The joyful colors of Got Cookie’s packaging are one of the brand’s most attractive elements too. A pastel-pink box of three large cookies is ideal for a morning treat with a cup of milk.
Got Cookie also creates custom packaging for special occasion variety packs of cookies — well worth considering for your next party at home or in the office.
You can find Got Cookie at Trieste Coffee in Riyadh and in Jeddah’s Al-Rawdah district. For more information visit Got Cookie’s Instagram page @gotcookie.sa

Where We Are Going Today: Yu by Toki Restaurant in Riyadh
- One order comes with two rolls on a plate, perfect for those looking to share one of the best dishes on the menu
Bringing its flavors from Toki in Jeddah, Yu by Toki is in Riyadh at Mamlaka Social Dining, tucked into a back corner, where the Chinese restaurant offers dishes inspired by Cantonese and Szechuan cuisine, with a modern twist.
At Mamlaka Social Dining, guests order directly from each restaurant’s booth before choosing a table within the shared dining area. Many opt for the outdoor terrace, which offers sweeping views of Riyadh from the iconic tower.
Yu’s one-page menu is concise yet diverse in options, with a particular focus on starters and dim sum. The starters introduce the menu’s flavor palette.
To start, I opted for the Szechuan crispy duck roll which comes wrapped in homemade pancake and stuffed with cucumber and spring onion alongside the crispy duck meat.
One order comes with two rolls on a plate, perfect for those looking to share one of the best dishes on the menu. The crunchy duck meat, fresh cucumber, and sweet sauce provides a balanced and delicious starter experience.
Another popular dish — often sold out — is the bang bang chicken, served with chili and pandan cream for a bold, spicy kick. For a milder option, the smoked corn chicken offers a deeper, caramelized flavor profile.
When it comes to buns and dumplings, I would go for either the baked smoked angus bun or the Szechuan sui mai.
If you are looking for something on the heavier side, the baked smoked angus bun is intense with strong flavors of beef paired with a sauce and fluffy bun.
On the other hand, the Szechuan sui mai is a light and fresh dish, paired with soybean, chili, Chinese mushrooms, and spring onion.
For the main course, I selected the sweet and sour chicken and paired it with the vegetable noodles.
Unfortunately, Yu by Toki’s does not offer dessert, which can be disappointing for those looking to indulge in Chinese varieties. Mamlaka Social Dining solves this by offering a vast array of options.
