I can imagine how “happy” every Marina Mum was when Pots and Pans and that beautiful lawn at the edge of The Beach was ‘closed for construction’. What are they doing to build here? Months passed and Bla Bla Beach Club opened – an adults-only venue with over 20 bars, right next to the much-loved […]

Didn’t expect to return so soon to Bluewaters. It was one of those weekends where plans didn’t quite work out and we ended up back in our neighbourhood for breakfast. This time is was Leen’s, one of the three branches in Dubai – situated again by the Bluewaters Wharf which I’m starting to get quite […]

I’ve always wanted to return to Bluewaters for breakfast. When you try and google ‘Breakfast at Bluewaters’, not a lot comes up. C’mon big guys – What’s on, Time Out – do your thing. So on a totally unplanned morning when I was suppose to take the 2 year old for a coffee date, off […]

It’s the trend now, isn’t it? Even January is called Veganuary – an excuse to detox for those who have over-indulged over the festive season. Well, that wasn’t really our plan – we just wanted to try out another picturesque spot for breakfast and it unfortunately happened to be a plant-based restaurant. Seva Table it’s […]

I wanted to come back to The Pointe again, after such a nice morning spent at the beginning of the week at that instagrammable cafe (that is so busy now…). Bit of googling around landed me here, where I saw La Brioche – a familiar name, one of our casual go-tos after shopping in Ibn […]

Brunch and Cake is probably one of the few places who can get away with charging 65 AED for a pistachio French Toast. And that was exactly what I wanted to order, until I saw that their Classic Cheddar Smashed Burger was only 32 AED. What a surprise when it came out as two sliders […]

Back to Huqqa in Dubai Mall with the family last weekend to review what they had to offer for breakfast. We normally don’t do breakfast with the entire troupe as it’s just too much effort and time to get everyone ready on a Friday morning. But hey – if it’s at somewhere nice, with views […]

Dubai decided that the beachfront to the west of the Palm trunk was not wide enough. What did they do? They made it wider. More space means more footfall and of course – F&B outlets. I’m happy they decided not to over-populate this area and keep it a bit more bare and serene with just […]

With the toddlers growing up, it also means the extra little expense as they want to “drink coffee” like mummy. I don’t like paying for frothy milk with chocolate sprinkles on top. After many breakfast and coffee dates with the little ones, here’s my personal round up of where I like to bring the toddlers […]

So many years here and this was literally the first time we’ve been to Monty’s. I wanted somewhere different, somewhere outdoors, somewhere green. Also, it had to be not too far from home, easy to park, and not too expensive. Picky much? 🙂 C’mon, with so many restaurants in Dubai, you have to kind of […]

Not sure how to start on this one. Let’s just keep it short and sweet.

When I first received the press release, I laughed and thought – they must have read every mum’s mind. Good job for being the first to introduce this in Dubai. Aquaventure – I actually emailed you over the summer to let mums in to your Splashers area earlier, remember? 😉 So, today was the opening […]

Whilst I think that the security guard was not very happy at our little ones, we had such a good time at the Dubai Garden Centre this morning. Let’s just say good for the first 3 hours, minus the last ten minutes when I had to literally pick a screaming 2-year old who did not […]

The little girl was gifted an All Blacks jersey for her 1st birthday. What a lucky monkey. Even G and I don’t have one (the authentic ones cost a bomb!) 🙂 So, when the Lions tour was on, we knew we had to go out and watch the game with the family. I had no […]

Picture this. Breakfast in a 5-star hotel which is not even 6-months old. You get to have coffee, or tea, or juice. A buffet spread of cheese and cold cuts, a few hot dishes, selection of pastries and bread made just that morning. A fridge full of home-made yoghurt and fruit, and freshly squeezed juices. […]

This post was written and published in 2017. This specific deal is no longer available. We still go to The Scene regularly. Have a browse through other breakfast spots we have been going with the family. I hope they don’t ban us. I think we kinda took over the area this morning. Playmats out, babies […]

I have always wanted to go to La Serre. Every time we drove along Emaar Boulevard I’ll look over at the double storey floor to ceiling glass facade and it’s always full. From friends, and the bits and pieces of social media that I’ve seen – they do good food. U by Emaar launched a […]

Ever since Jumeirah Al Naseem opened its doors to the public in December, I’ve always wanted to go check it out ….. and as I do, I waited to see if there would be any deals. They never joined the Entertainer (will they?), and I couldn’t wait anymore (wanted to take mum there) – so […]

What we do a lot these days as a family with a little person : breakfasts. You will probably see more reviews of this from now on 😉 So when La Ville opened its doors in Citywalk, I was quite keen to check out the family-friendly eateries that they have to offer and was happy to […]

I never thought I’ll put the words posh and breakfast for a blog title. Unless Victoria and David were dining here in Dubai. But when the cost of the bags at the table next to us is worth more than twice of our second-hand Ford Escape, you just gotta use those words. Oh, and yes, the […]
