Popular Perth ribs joint launches viral Dubai choc desserts
A Perth restaurant, known for its American-style barbecue ribs, is causing a stir among the food community following the launch of its viral Dubai chocolate-inspired desserts. The head chef at Ribs Lane was inspired by the viral Dubai chocolate taking social media feeds by storm to create rich, over-the-top treats for dessert lovers wanting in on the global obsession. The Dubai chocolate sweet treat craze recently popped off on TikTok thanks to influencers promoting Dubai chocolate — a chocolate bar containing a filling made with kadayif and pistachio — created by Emirati Fix Dessert Chocolatier in Dubai. Head chef Nicka Isabella said the team saw the trend explode overseas and wanted to create something that would give Perth a taste of the hype. 'It's not just about going viral. These desserts taste as good as they look. Perth deserves its own over-the-top dessert experience, and this is it,' she said. The desserts are unapologetically extra. Credit: Jay Turks Each dessert features house-made elements and Ribs Lane's signature drizzle, crafted to mimic the iconic Dubai-style presentations but with a Ribs Lane twist. 'These desserts are unapologetically extra and that's exactly what we wanted,' Nicka said. 'We've developed our own special recipe and flavour profile that's got people returning again and again. They are indulgent, fun, and impossible to ignore - both on the table and on social media.' People with a sweet tooth can indulge in viral Dubai chocolate loukamades ($17), waffles ($17) and cups ($15). The Ribs Lane Subiaco location will also offer a dessert pizza ($23).

Aussies shocked that the number of Tim Tams in a packet changes with the flavour
Don't miss out on the headlines from Lifestyle. Followed categories will be added to My News. Tim Tams will forever be an Aussie staple. Delicious chocolate biscuits in just about any flavour you can imagine - can it really get any better? However, one Aussie has taken to social media to expose a trend he's noticed in the treat, and it unearthed an even worse fact. Want to join the family? Sign up to our Kidspot newsletter for more stories like this. Image: Reddit. RELATED: Fruit shop's stern sign baffles shoppers 'It's disappointing to see' An Aussie Reddit user has taken to the platform to expose the shrinking size of Tim Tam packets. Showcasing a packet of the (delicious) Chewy Caramel flavour, he said there's now only nine in it, with a whopping 42% empty space. 'Tim Tam Shrinkflation,' he said in the post. 'Probably been mentioned before but it's disappointing to see that you only get 9 Tim Tam's to a pack these days. 'I worked out it's 42% empty space inside. And without the plastic spaces in-between each bikky, you could fit about 17 in total.' 'Tim Sham!' Commenters on the post thought it was slack. 'They should make it illegal for companies to sell half-serving packs,' said one person. 'I don't buy them anymore because of the price,' said another. 'Tim Sham,' a third joked. But, others exposed that it's actually always been this way - we just haven't noticed. 'If you look at all the different flavours, you will see a bunch of different package sizes. They generally (but not always) do this so that they can keep the price per pack the same,' one commenter pointed out. 'Special flavoured Tim Tams are typically reduced in size to 175g (see also the deluxe flavour),' another agreed. 'You get less with the special varieties, it's always been this way,' said a third. It's unAustralian! And, a quick look at Woolies proves that this is correct. Despite all ringing in at $6, an Original packet of Tim Tams contains 11 biscuits, while the Double Coat contains just 9 - as do the Chewy Caramel and White Chocolate flavours. The Dark Chocolate flavour contains 11 biscuits, again $6. However, once you step up to the deluxe range, including Salted Caramel Brownie, Dark Choc Mint, Cafe Latte and Decadent Triple Choc, your $6.50 will only buy you 8 biscuits. The Gluten Free Tim Tams will currently set you back $4.95 for just 7 biscuits. It's about as unAustralian as it gets. So, next time you set out to buy Tim Tams, keep bang for your buck in mind - or if you have a group of friends to share with, maybe opt for the deluxe range for a greater chance of an equal split. Kidspot reached out to Arnott's for comment. Originally published as Aussies shocked by sneaky detail in Tim Tam packaging

Nicole Kidman reportedly files residency application for Portugal with no mention of husband Keith Urban
Aussie movie star Nicole Kidman has lodged an application for residency in Portugal, multiple news outlets in the European country have claimed. Portuguese media outlet SIC Notícias broke the story on Tuesday and claimed the Oscar-winning actress has submitted residency paperwork to the country's Agency for Integration, Migration and Asylum (AIMA). According to SIC Notícias, Kidman is reportedly house hunting around the Costa Terra Golf & Ocean Club in Comporta. The luxury development is popular with global A-listers including George Clooney and Paris Hilton and is also a base for royal family member Princess Eugenie. The sunny European nation is popular with celebrities and jetsetters because of its ideal climate, favourable tax benefits and relative privacy. Meanwhile, Portuguese TV network TVI claims they have confirmed with Lisbon City Council that Kidman and Keith Urban already own an apartment in the Portuguese capital. The revelation comes after Kidman was recently spotted arriving at the Tires airfield in Cascais, a wealthy seaside enclave just outside of Lisbon. The Dead Calm star and her country star husband own an impressive globe-spanning property portfolio spanning Sydney, Los Angeles and Nashville. In Sydney, the couple own six combined apartments overlooking Sydney Harbour in Milson's Point. The Kidman-Urban clan also own a breathtaking 45-acre rural property called Bunya Hill in the Southern Highlands, complete with cattle and alpacas. Earlier this year, Kidman told the Hollywood Reporter she planned to spend 2025 taking a break after shooting multiple film and TV projects simultaneously. "I was much more out there last year; this year I have Holland, I have Nine Perfect Strangers, and then I'm off for the rest of year. So, oh well!' she said. In the past year, Kidman has starred in films A Family Affair, Babygirl, Spellbound and Holland and TV projects like The Perfect Couple, Lioness and Nine Perfect Strangers. The movie star's pledge to take time off appeared to be short-lived and Kidman is currently back on set with Sandra Bullock to film a sequel of the cult classic Practical Magic.
