Restaurants. Hotels. Experiences
What do you look for when you go out here in Dubai? Good food, good atmosphere, good deals – they come into the picture, don’t they? What about live music? Does that matter to you? For the last few months, our social lives have been planned around the live music scene. When we do get […]

Chef Michael Mina was in Dubai for a few days, and we were quite fortunate to have been invited to pop into Mina Brasserie for lunch whilst he was there. We had never been to Mina Brasserie – so was fairly excited to get dressed up and drive up to the Four Seasons DIFC on […]

Sui Mui – this is the revamped of what used to be Spice Emporium in The Westin Mina Seyahi. We’ve been to Sui Mui a couple of times now since it opened last year – it’s always our go-to with the family and friends, after a day spent at the beach. We returned last Wednesday […]

It was a really hot day yesterday. I don’t think the husband was very pleased with my fabulous family plan to head towards Ras al Khaimah (again) in the sweltering 40 degrees summer heat and 80 percent humidity. The Ritz Carlton Al Hamra was the destination I told him – “A stunning beach resort, ‘complimentary’ […]

One of the very few lists I do every year, which I really enjoy putting together. Quite a few people have started asking for it – what ladies nights are still on over Ramadan here in Dubai? It puts a smile to my face thinking that I used to once be in those same shoes […]

Didn’t do the food justice with my lousy camera skills. Sorry! 😉 A girl friend was in town and I hadn’t planned anything. Opened up the HSBC Ent Book and thought I’ll choose something that’s nearby and nice. Saw the Hunters Room & Grill and thought – why not? I hadn’t been to the Westin […]
